The more literal meaning of the word ‘Assai’ when couched in the context of a musical tempo is “enough”.
So Allegro assai is “fast enough”. Or you might prefer “rather fast”, “pretty fast” or something similar.
Trying to cast it as “very fast” opens up an obvious further question which, if we are now to assume that the tempo indicated is now somewhere in the realms of ‘presto’ or even ‘prestissimo’ leaves us in a problematic zone if the composer later follows up with “piu allegro” - it has happened a few times.
