Hallandale, FL - London’s highly acclaimed Signor Sassi, renowned for its outstanding classic Italian cuisine, unfaltering service, engaging atmosphere, and iconic design, will officially open its first U.S. location in Hallandale Beach on March 14. Reservations can be made via SevenRooms

Like its predecessor in London’s prestigious Knightsbridge neighborhood, adjacent to the world-famous Harrods, this first North American location at 1006 E Hallandale Beach Blvd, Hallandale, will unquestionably become known as a favorite neighborhood restaurant and a premier location for exceptional dining and a lively atmosphere.

Over four decades, Signor Sassi has earned global admiration, becoming a London institution known as much for its atmosphere as its food. The Knightsbridge location has long attracted cultural icons and international stars — with artists like Rihanna, the Rolling Stones, Mary J. Blige, and the Foo Fighters among the many familiar faces who have dined beneath its signature marble and mirrors. Loved for its warmth, privacy, and unmistakable style, Signor Sassi remains a destination where guests feel equally at home — whether global celebrity or loyal longtime regular.

The expansion into the United States marks a notable milestone for a brand that has maintained its iconic status since it opened its doors in London's Knightsbridge Green in 1984, while retaining its signature "Sassi style" through locations in Dubai, Doha, and Egypt.

Led by the Victorem Hospitality Group in co-management with the San Carlo Restaurants group from the UK, the Hallandale location will bring an authentic taste of Italian culinary excellence to South Florida’s exciting, ever-growing, internationally inspired culinary landscape. With its signature Italian passion, exquisite cuisine, and impeccable service, Signor Sassi will deliver a refined level of polish and panache to the Hallandale Beach area and its surrounding neighborhoods. 

“Signor Sassi brings something entirely new, special, and exciting to Hallandale Beach, and we’re confident that the area has not seen anything like this,” says CEO Daniel Alberto Rodriguez. “We look forward to sharing our passion for exceptional food, warm hospitality, and the unmistakable Signor Sassi atmosphere with locals and visitors. We’re confident that Signor Sassi will make every guest’s experience unforgettable.”

The menu offers an elevated selection of contemporary Italian cuisine with classic Italian dishes alongside innovative creations, all crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Highlights that have become favorites of socialites and royalty at the original location include the famous Mezze Maniche all Carbonara with Seasonal Truffle, the signature Gamberetti & Calamari Fritti, and the Wagyu Tomahawk with Broccoletti & Roasted Potatoes.

The cocktail program promises a mix of classic and creative libations that perfectly complement the cuisine, as well as an impressive wine list. Standout signature cocktails include the namesake Sassi Fashion, made with Four Roses bourbon, hazelnut maple syrup, and Amaro, or the Mercante, made with Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Sazerac Rye 100 proof, Carpano Antica, Campari, Amaro del Capo, and Luxardo Aperitivo.

Thoughtful in its design by renowned London firm Fettle, Signor Sassi evokes a warm and inviting atmosphere where style and sophistication converge. A stunning 200-seat indoor dining room - with an additional 25 seats outdoors - melds Italian touches with timeless elegance. 

The interiors are inspired by the architecture and design of Venice, as well as the work of some of its most influential residents, including iconic architect Carlo Scarpa, mixed with the Art Deco architecture of South Florida. A mural by renowned artist Jessalyn Brooks, known for her angular, sculptural works of the female form, lines the wall. Plush pink, green, and yellow pastel upholstery and curtains decorate the dining room. Glossy wood panels and rich marble tables imbue the space with warmth, and a grand bar for cocktails and conversation commands the dining room.
