In the old Sasso, this new sister spot to the North End trattoria with the same name serves up cocktails, late night eats, and dishes from the Piedmont and Lombardy regions of Italy like pan seared diver scallops w/ marinated chanterelle mushrooms and grilled scallions; slowly braised beef short ribs w/roasted potatoes and Gorgonzola; and rigatoni pasta with sweet and sour wild boar -- presumably just sweet and sweet before it was hunted down and slaughtered.
