" What a delightful surprise! This restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall but offers some of the best Italian food I've had outside of Italy. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauces were bursting with flavor. I especially loved their homemade tiramisu—it was divine! The staff treated us like family, and the ambiance was cozy yet elegant. Highly recommend making a reservation, as it can get busy on weekends! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful experience at Grappa '72! We celebrated our anniversary here and were delighted by everything. The staff surprised us with complimentary glasses of prosecco for our special occasion, which was such a nice touch! We started with their famous calamari, which was perfectly crispy and seasoned. Our entrees, both the chicken saltimbocca and the vegetarian pasta, were equally remarkable. And do not skip dessert—the ricotta cheesecake was out of this world! We will be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Grappa '72 offers an enchanting dining experience! I brought my parents for a visit and they adored everything from the warm bread with olive oil to the delicious main courses. We shared the duck dish, which was simply magnificent. Our dessert was their signature panna cotta, which was beyond delightful. The ambiance was calm and perfect for family gatherings. Couldn’t have asked for a better evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" Grappa '72 is like an Italian vacation in Albany! From the moment you walk in, the warm atmosphere greets you, and the delicious aroma of fresh ingredients fills the air. The menu is full of authentic options, and I had a hard time choosing. My pasta dish was delicious—each bite transported me to Italy. The service was also friendly and efficient. This restaurant is definitely a must-visit for anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Grappa '72 is an experience! The warm welcome from the host, the beautiful ambiance, and the live music contributed to a lovely evening. My wife and I shared a few appetizers—bruschetta and calamari—and both were fantastic. For our main dishes, we had the risotto and vitello con fichi. Everything was well-cooked, precisely what real Italian food should be. We’ll definitely be recommending it to our friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" The only thing better than the delicious food is the fantastic service at Grappa '72. We went there for a double date night and tried a bunch of different things from the menu. Highlights include the freshly made gnocchi and an exceptional osso buco. Each dish left a mark, but the dessert options simply stole the show! Don't forget to order the panna cotta—it’s like a cherry on top of an excellent experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Grappa '72 is a masterpiece of Italian dining! From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. The ambiance is charming with dim lighting and beautiful decor that enhances the dining experience. The appetizer of bruschetta was the best I've tasted, and my main dish of seafood risotto was exquisite — truly a work of art. The desserts are made in-house, and every last bite was heavenly. I can't recommend this place enough. Make it your go-to Italian restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)
