I've been to Assaggio's TST branch a while ago but as it was on a weekend the salad buffet was more limited, and it was more of a small antipasto buffet plus main course lunch set. This is my first visit to Assaggio at the Art Centre and I was happy enough with what I had. For lunch, you can choose to have a salad bar buffet ($148+10%) only, or otherwise add a main course (pasta, risotto, pan-seared fish) for around $88 all the way to the mid $100s. You could also add dessert for an extra charge

I opted for the salad bar buffet only, and we were the first customers to arrive. The seats and tables are spacious and there's ample lighting in the entire dining room. Part of the seats would offer guests a peek of the action in the open kitchen. Waiting staff speak good English, but all but one were friendly and helpful. (The one waitress who didn't make us feel that welcome was slightly impatient when we requested to be moved to another table.) As we neared the end of our meal, the place was just over half full, so it does seem to be quite a busy place on a week day.
The salad bar has quite a lot to offer, for veggies, the selection ranges from romaine lettuce and argula all the way to grilled eggplant, bell pepper slices, carrots and cucumber. Cherry tomatoes were a fresh and juicy bright red and they also offer a slightly low-end version of my favorite caprese salad--though the mozzarella were slightly hard and not that fresh, it was good enough for me. The asaggio cheese was smooth (but not aged). There's also unlimited parmesan on offer if that's your thing. In terms of protein, they have some ham and salami and a chicken salad, but that's about it. They also have some bruschetta if you're still hungry after all the food.

I failed to take a picture of the coffee, but it was a strong Italian coffee, freshly brewed.
