" I was excited to try Trattoria Grappolo after hearing so many good things about it. The first thing I noticed was the charming decor, which really sets the mood for an Italian dining experience. The spaghetti carbonara I ordered was decent, but it lacked the richness I expect from the dish—perhaps there was not enough guanciale? The service was good but slightly slow at times, especially during busy hours. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, but I think there are a few things that could be improved. " (*Curated Review*)

" I caught wind of Trattoria Grappolo through a friend's recommendation, and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere is cozy, with lovely decor that feels authentic. I started with the caprese salad, which was fresh and light, followed by a delightfully rich ravioli dish that satisfied my cravings. The only downside was that service was a tad slow this particular evening, but overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely little spot! I had my birthday dinner here and everything was fantastic. The staff was so friendly, greeting me with smiles, and the food was superb. I had their famous spaghetti carbonara, and it did not disappoint—creamy and rich! Although it was a bit on the pricey side, the quality of food and service justified it. Highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion date night! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food selection at Trattoria Grappolo is impressive, with a focus on authentic Italian flavors. I ordered the ricotta gnocchi, and it was tender and flavorful. The service was excellent, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. My only critique would be that while the food was fantastic, I did feel slightly overcharged for the portion sizes, which were not quite substantial enough for my liking. Still, a solid dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Trattoria Grappolo was an interesting experience. I went with a group and although the ambiance is nice, I found the food to be just okay. The marinara sauce on my ravioli was sweeter than I expected, and it didn't have that 'homemade' taste that I typically enjoy. However, the staff was attentive and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. The prices are reasonable, but I’d recommend hoping for a more traditional flavor profile next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We booked a private dining room at Trattoria Grappolo for my anniversary dinner. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make our evening special; they even brought out a complimentary dessert for us! We shared several dishes, including the octopus carpaccio and various pasta dishes. Each dish was better than the last, vividly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The only downside was the noise level—it got a bit loud later in the evening as more patrons arrived. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard so many positive things about Trattoria Grappolo that I had to visit myself. I was pleased to find an authentic Italian atmosphere with fine food. I ordered the fettuccine with a garlic sauce, which was delightful! The only downside was that the dish felt a bit small compared to some places, but the flavors made up for it. I will definitely return and explore the rest of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
