Customer Review Summary
Views on Grappolo are sharply divided. A few diners call it the best Italian in town, praising the food and atmosphere alongside friendly staff, while others report a disappointing meal with stale bruschetta, a dry Caesar salad, and a vinegar-heavy dressing. One couple also notes being seated between two loud parties on an anniversary, making conversation impossible, and say they won't return.

“We ordered the bruschetta for a starter, but the bread was stale and impossible to chew. The Caesar salad wasn't any better. Both the chicken and bacon were very dry and clearly not fresh. To top it off, the dressing tasted overwhelmingly like vinegar. Overall, a very disappointing meal below expectations.”
- David Barlow
