The Grape Italian Ristorante

"Not going to lie, this place isn't what it used to be. Years ago when this was at another location, the food was much better. The past few times we've gone recently, every dish I had needed salt, or at least some type of seasoning. And unfortunately, someone in our party was served a raw and undercooked chicken. The service is great however, as is the ambiance, but the food could definitely be better."

"I read the “bad” reviews before checking out any new restaurant. This one was riddled with reviews of bad service and some angry old guy with attitude. My wife and I ate here and both the food and service was outstanding. (And we had an elderly gentleman serving us, not sure if it was the same guy in reviews). Food tasted like there was little to nothing premade. Had soup, apitizer, and entree, sadly no room for dessert. Place is a bit more expensive than we can afford on a regular basis but as I always say, it’s always better to pay well for good food than to pay well for bad food. The restaurant has done a great job of making this strip mall location into a dining destination. Great place for “date night” - we will be back."

"Dinner for three and looking forward to trying out this Italian restaurant on our side of town. Walking in, the restaurant looked very promising and inviting. No tables were occupied at the time so we had the restaurant to ourselves. We started off with the bruschetta which left a lot to be desired. The bread was soggy and the mozzarella was low quality. Their prices made me think it would match the quality but I was sadly dissapointed. Next, we got the Greek salad and clam chowder. The Greek salad was missing onion and didn’t have feta cheese. The dressing honestly tasted like it was store bought and not even homemade. Plus the lettuce mix included in the salad was like those premade bags from the grocery store. You’re better off saving some bucks and going to Zinos a couple of blocks down for a delicious Greek salad. The clam chowder was not bad but it also wasn’t good. We were waiting for our main entrees at this point and were kind of nervous. I ordered the frutta di mare, and it was probably the best from everything we tried. Although I wish for the price point of $65 that the pasta had been homemade. The chicken was overcooked, bland, and again the pasta was not home made. I don’t mind paying for high quality food, I’m a foodie and want to have a delicious meal. Overall, a dinner that left a lot to be desired. Next time, I would rather go to ardovino’s desert crossing for a dinner at this price point."

"Very good italian food, it seems like it’s a new place we all should be talking about! It has a lobby with a bar and the dinning experience was really good. Portions are big and the bread was exquisite."
