Went here for the first time on a Saturday with a group of friends. Food was amazing!! Service from Joanne was fantastic. She had a lot of suggestions and very accommodating to our various allergies. We enjoyed everything about it- including the cool wall outside with painted angel wings. Great photo opportunity. Only downfall was parking. Not easy to find on such a busy street. Definitely pricier than other comparable restaurants,but worth it. We’d go back.

We had an amazing meal and experience at Grappa! They accommodated our group of 12 on a busy Saturday evening. The service was as exceptional! We never had an empty glass or plate. They were very attentive and ensured that we had an amazing meal. We loved all the appetizers, especially the octopus and burrata. Their pastas were tasty and the potions were large, definitely big enough to split. They brought out 2 beautiful and delicious dessert trays to celebrate our occasion. We will definitely be back to Grappa!

The moment you step into this place it feels very cozy and friendly. Amazing service and great food. We went last nigh with a large group (16 people), Danial and Nelson were very accommodating and did everything to keep the group happy and welcomed. No rush to leave. Definitely going back again

Grappa was absolutely a romantic and intimate experience I absolutely loved it here. Firstly the atmosphere was very warm and cozy , I loved how they were only male servers they were so sweet and welcoming. For appetizers my partner and I order the shrimp it was sooo good I didn’t even get to take a picture of it , right when it came we ate it up quickly. Then I ordered the pappardelle bolognese pasta and the beef Miami ribs . My partner got salmon , veggies and mashed potato. When I tell you the foood was so good . Definitely will come back!

I had an amazing birthday dinner at Grappa! Even though I was running late, the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious, as always. I make it a tradition to come here once a year, and every visit is a fantastic experience. The service, atmosphere, and quality of food are consistently top-notch. I truly hope to see multiple locations around Ontario soon—this place deserves it. Highly recommend!

Always incredible. Food is amazing, everybody loved the calamari. I made my entire family order the RIGATONI AFFUMICATO last night. I’m gonna try to order something different next time but that pasta is so good. Thank you for making the night so memorable, you guys made it so special with the candle. Highlight of my birthday.

Thank you Grappa for hosting with me, my friend's 40th Birthday dinner party! The Mona Lisa Room was the perfect setting for our group of 12—intimate, stylish, and just the right atmosphere for a special evening. We opted for a prix fixe menu, and I truly appreciated Grappa’s flexibility in accommodating our needs. The food was delicious, the drinks flowed generously, and the Creme Brulee is a must-try! Service was top-tier. A special shoutout to Nelson—he and the entire team were attentive, accommodating, and made sure everything ran smoothly. While there were a few hiccups leading up to the night, at the end Grappa came through and ultimately exceeded my expectations. The feedback from our guests was overwhelmingly positive—everyone had a wonderful time. Highly recommended!
