★★★★★ 5.0 BIG EATS · Dec 2025

Walked in to a great little three piece jazz band by the bar. Very cool. The food was amazing and the atmosphere is very comfortable, almost to the point you don’t want to leave. The homemade bread and olive tapenade is a fantastic way to start. We had the melanzana eggplant appetizer, awesome. Entrees were penne romanoff with vodka sauce and Anthony’s pasta with sausage and meatballs, risotto frutti dimare and the risotto fungi. All were absolutely fantastic. It’s a must try if you love authentic Italian cuisine.

An unforgettable dining experience at Grappa 72. We started with a bottle of Meiomi Pinot Noir, accompanied by fresh bread with olive tapenade, oil, and vinegar, plus perfectly crisp, flavor-packed arancini. For entrées, we enjoyed the Mahi Mahi special, a seafood risotto with scallops, and my personal favorite, the delectable chicken scallopino topped with five tender scallops. Each dish was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. The ambiance sets the tone, smooth jazz in the background, chic décor, and a spotless, welcoming environment (even the bathrooms are immaculate). Service is truly impeccable, attentive without ever being intrusive. Dessert deserves special mention. While I’m not sure if Grappa 72 is widely known for their homemade sweets, they absolutely should be. Th

The Caesar Salad, The calamari The specials all cooked perfectly. The waitress never wrote down anything from appetizer’s to dinner to their amazing homemade desserts. She was unquestionably impressive! I highly recommend! I’m looking forward to going back again & again to try other dishes.
