" We had a lovely date night here. While the exterior didn't give much away, stepping inside we were greeted by warm decor and soft music. The staff was friendly, and our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the veal, which was cooked to perfection, and my partner loved the shrimp pasta. The dessert options were tempting—so many to choose from! We ended up sharing the cheesecake and it was heavenly. We’ll definitely come back for another special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much when I heard this restaurant was in a strip mall. However, the food was a total revelation! Their arrabbiata sauce was delicious and authentic, truly reminiscent of what you'd find in Italy. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the live music added a nice touch to our meal. I didn’t overeat, but I felt satisfied without being stuffed. Highly recommend stopping by! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lover of Italian cuisine, I was thrilled to discover Grappa '72! The food was incredibly fresh with many authentic flavors. The staff was genuine and helpful, guiding us through the menu with great recommendations. My partner ordered the classic lasagna, while I went for the seafood special. Both dishes were impressive! It's easy to see why this place is recommended by locals. The only catch is finding it amid the other shops — but trust me, it’s worth the effort! " (*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*)

" Overall, my experience at Grappa '72 was delightful! The ambiance is romantic and perfect for a date night. Our server was knowledgeable and made excellent suggestions. We absolutely loved the truffle butter on our bread, a small but impactful addition. The price point was also fantastic given the quality and portions. I wouldn’t hesitate to return or to suggest it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me start by saying this is not just another Italian restaurant! Grappa '72 creates a unique dining experience. From creative menu options to a welcoming and warm environment, every visit has been a pleasure. The seafood dishes really shine here, particularly the special of the day. Each of our plates was a good size, and we left satisfied but not stuffed. I can’t wait for my next dinner here! " (*Curated Review*)
