"Went here for the first time. Romantic atmosphere, All the wait staff were professional and pleasant. Food came out quickly and was delicious. Bread comes to the table with an olive and garlic spread which I didn't like just because I don't like olives. But still deserves 5 Stars. Mixed greens salad and Caesar salad were fresh and had the perfect amount of dressing. Ordered clams and linguine and Vitello Monti- a veal and shrimp dish. Expected small medallions of veal but was pleasantly surprised to get 3 sizable pieces along with Jumbo size shrimp. Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Can't wait to return."

"Absolutely outstanding Italian food,best I've ever had outside of The Boot (Italy) itself. Was quite busy on Friday night so reservations are recommended,they had a beautiful violinist and band playing that really let me know I was in for something good. For an appetizer/first course I ordered calamari.Ive been on a bad streak of getting sub par chewy calamari everywhere I order it but what I got here was what I've been looking for;perfectly breaded,crispy,airy,and perfectly seasoned with lemon and garlic.One of the best I've ever had,pared with a dirty martini and I was in culinary bliss. The main course was a Penne Romanov with sausage which was absolutely exceptional,the sauce was creamy and perfectly seasoned,pasta cooked perfectly and sausage brought the whole meal together perfectly. Portions were large so I was able to bring home extras and it was a real treat the next day. Service was exceptional with refills often and water bread constantly restocked. Overall couldn't be more impressed with this establishment and will spread the word and can't wait to return."

"Went for my birthday , some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. Service was great , the hostess was such a sweet young lady also , will be back soon"

"Went there for a group dinner party. The music, the atmosphere, service was superb. Food was good too. First time there and I was impressed, however the place was so hidden without the sign would not know it was there; even though I drive by it many times."

"Excellent! We were visiting from out of town and found Grappa 72’ online. We were looking for a nice, delicious meal and found it. Appetizers, main course, dessert. We will definitely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
