		<description>LOVED LOVED LOVED Signor Sassi. It was just terrific. Just 1 problem, well technically not a problem, the food is amazing and tastes very similar to the one in London. At the other side, how its prepared and how it look not like london at all. Didn&#039;t like how my food looked, but the taste just amazing. Going to it again today, YUM YUM YUM! Veal Maleness with a side of Spaghetti Bolognese.</description>

		<description>Finally Signor Sassi is in Kuwait. I dinned there yesterday and the food quality was similar to what I had in London. The best thing is that Signor Sassi Kuwait is maintaining similar Italian culture. I would strongly recommend to try their spaghetti &amp; lobster.</description>

		<description>Posting it again here, under the assumption it was only at 360... the seaside location is a game-changer

-----

Signor Sassi is due to open at 360 mall, and it will no doubt go through the usual predictable cycle:

1. Import a restaurant beloved by a few Kuwaitis who go to London a lot and hope the name means something to people beyond that demographic

2. Choose an inappropriate location. In this case, fine dining inside a mall

3. Hire highly paid Italian chef from London

4. Said Italian chef will leave a few months after “training” the locally hired staff of various nationalities, and after suffering from soul-destroying loneliness and not serving any wine with his creations

5. Cuisine will take a dip in quality the minute he leaves which won’t matter much to the masses who only want their Penne Arrabiata.

6. It will then become just another generic/bland Italian restaurant in a mall

7. Signor Sassi HQ in London will get upset at the tarnishing of their brand and end their relationship with the local partner

8. A “new” restaurant replaces Signor Sassi, most likely Lebanese food since that’s what sells

DOESN’T ANYONE DO ANY MARKET RESEARCH BEFORE THEY SINK THEIR MONEY INTO THESE VENTURES??!!!</description>
