Ristorante Sassella

Ristorante Sassella Review

When the Bundestag was still in town, this Bonn institution used to be cited in the press as frequently for its backroom political dealings as for its Lombardy-influenced food. Locals, prominent and otherwise, still flock to the restaurant, in an 18th-century house in the suburb of Kessenich. The style is pure Italian farmhouse, with stone walls and exposed beams, but the handmade pastas made by Giorgio and Francesco Tartero often stray from the typical—note the salmon-filled black-and-white pasta pockets in shrimp sauce.
