Bruschetta
Rebecca H.

This place is a hidden gem! From the moment we sat down, the service was friendly, fast, and genuine. The warm rolls with oil and balsamic dipping sauce set the tone...soft, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We tried the Veal Parmigiana and Veal Scaloppini, and both were incredible.....tender, rich, and full of flavor. The Lasagna Soup deserves its own award; it's honestly the best we've ever had, comfort in a bowl. The Bruschetta was fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the martinis were strong, smooth, and well-crafted. We chose to sit outside, and the atmosphere was perfect....cozy, relaxing, and ideal for a date night or a casual evening with friends. Grapevine's absolutely delivered on food, service, and ambiance. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit.

Baked Ziti

Tucked away in a Kroger strip mall is this Italian gem. The ambience is warm inside, and the service was fantastic. They give you fresh, warm, complementary garlic rolls and they are awesome! I had the house salad, my wife had the Caesar both were very good. This is our first visit, my wife had the chicken Parmesan, and I had the baked ziti. The baked ziti was delicious and the portion was huge! The chicken Parm was average tasting, and we really didn't love the sauce. They have some drink specials during the week and live music on the weekend. We will definitely be back to sample other items!

I have seen their billboard when driving through downtown Cumming and since we will soon be living in Cumming, of course we needed to try GrapeVines out!! Reading reviews we weren't too sure about going to dinner with new friends, but decided to go. It is located in a nice strip mall with ample parking. It's not a very large restaurant but we like small and intimate. It also has a bar side with high table seating. It is very nice inside with booths and tables/chairs. We were seated immediately because this particular Friday night was not busy. Apparently it was an odd evening of not being busy but we were okay with that. There was live music which was a one-man band. However he was very good and nice background music. We were told by our server Zack they have it on Friday and Saturday evenings. We were immediately greeted by wonderful server Zack. He was so friendly, engaging, attentive and some southern hospitality. We took a long time to decide on our food because we were with new friends, but he was so great checking back with us. He told us "I just don't want you to think I'm neglecting you". We assured him it was okay as we were here with our new friends and enjoying conversation. Of course before I commit to a glass of wine, I want a taste which he accommodated my husband and I. We finally decided, per Zack's recommendation, on the salmon along with a small salad and the Tuscana cup of soup, of course sharing everything. It was delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly not tough and overcooked. It was bedded on Risotto which was creamy and yummy. I loved the Kalamata olives that garnished the salmon. Delicious and healthy menu choice for sure. And the garlic butter rolls they serve were outstanding, warm and delicious sprinkled with some seasoning also comes with a bowl of dipping oil with seasoning. Our soup was pipping hot with a tomato cream, chicken and a few small cut vegetables. Not too many of either but that is okay otherwise we'd be too full for our main dish. A cup was the perfect portion. Our salad with some veggies was also the perfect portion. But what made our evening complete was Zack as we thoroughly enjoyed his attention and engaging conversation. With us not living far away soon, Grapevines most likely will be our Italian "go-to". Oh and on Mondays, they have $5 Martini nights. Didn't ask if they have happy hour, but I will the next time in. We enjoyed a piece of scrumptious cheesecake drizzled with chocolate sauce of some sort which again was very tasty. Not too big of a slice, but again perfect portion. Our friends said they enjoyed their dinner as well. Our friend is gluten intolerant and they serve gluten free noodles which he said was very good. He also ordered chicken but he said it was a bit spicy along with a sweet potato. Well done GrapeVines. We will be back!! I hope all your food is as yummy as our first dinner with y'all.

One of the best restaurants in Cumming GA. Clean, nice atmosphere, good food, good service, plenty of parking, and good patronage. Portions are appropriate and all ingredients fresh. Highly recommend the chicken Pomplona.

Food is always good. Great staff! Pricing on par with chains like Olive Garden but the food quality is real Italian.

After visiting the nearby Gibbs Gardens, I decided to check out downtown Ball Ground--a charming…read morelittle town I somehow never knew existed, despite living in Georgia for over a decade. While exploring the main strip, I came across Dot's Fine Wine and Craft. I was hoping they offered wine flights (they do, but only on Thursdays), so instead, I opted for a tasting. They have four wines on tap that rotate regularly--usually two whites and two reds, if I recall correctly. The ones available that day weren't quite my personal taste, but the experience was still great thanks to the welcoming staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The shop itself has a laid-back, cozy vibe with plenty of space to sip and explore. Their selection of wines and specialty beers is impressive--and for those just browsing, there's no pressure, just good conversation and even better recommendations. Now, let me give credit where it's due--Todd, the owner, is a force of nature. My fiancée is very particular about her wine, but once Todd started talking, she was sold. He makes the rounds, connecting with every guest, and his deep knowledge and passion for wine is infectious. Between him, his wife, and lone employee who was shaking and moving the entire time we were there, they've created an experience that's polished, personal, and memorable. If I had to make one suggestion, it would be to add another wine slushie machine. Every time I went for one, it was still chilling--though in their defense, the place was buzzing with activity due to a downtown festival. Dot's isn't just a wine store--it's a destination. They also offer: Thirsty Thursday Wine Flights (4 for $15, waived with a $45 purchase) Monthly Wine Club Private Tastings & Cellar Consulting Wedding & Event Bar Services Wine and Beer Growlers Rotating Frozen Sangrias, Frosé & Wine-Based Cocktails Charcuterie, Wine Gifts & Accessories I've visited plenty of wine shops across the state, but Dot's truly stands out. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just curious, it's absolutely worth the trip. You'll likely leave with more than just a bottle--you'll leave with a great experience.

Do not waste your time or money here. We were horrified at the way the owner spoke to a couple…read morethat walked in holding a drink from another establishment in town. (The city allows you to walk around with your drink) The owner was extremely rude to them telling them to "get out". You could clearly tell they didn't know you could do that.

My wife and I have been to Casa Nuova a few times now, and every visit has been amazing. The first…read morewaiter we had was full of personality, very nice, and very Italiano. Everyone we've had since has been just as good. They're friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and somehow able to memorize a huge list of specials. They really make us feel like part of the family. The Escargots Casa Nuova is our favorite appetizer. The garlic butter is delicious and perfect for dipping the bread in. I had never had anything like the Cannelloni Florentina before, but it was very tasty. It's a smaller dish, but it packs a punch! The Tortellini in Champagne Sauce was so good that I cleaned the plate. I also really like the decor. It has an Italian home feel, with paintings, flowers, wine, and knickknacks everywhere (and apparently a lot of local history). Casa Nuova is a little further of a drive for us, but it's one of the best Italian places I've found in the area. I'm looking forward to bringing more family here.

Three of us visited Casa Nuova on a Friday night--my wife, daughter, and me…read more I don't typically write glowing reviews, nor is this my first visit to a good Italian restaurant. But this experience was genuinely special. From the service to the food to the atmosphere, everything exceeded expectations. Despite a packed dining room, the staff delivered a level of attentiveness that felt effortless. Our server had an incredible command of the menu, rattling off a lengthy list of specials from memory with impressive detail. The entire team worked in sync--bringing bread, refilling drinks, offering fresh grated cheese, clearing plates without rushing us, and striking just the right balance of friendliness and professionalism. What really set the evening apart were the personal touches. The matriarch of the restaurant (or at least who I assume was the matriarch) circulated through the dining room making sure guests were enjoying themselves. At one point she proudly announced that the osso buco was ready--a charming moment that felt less like a sales pitch and more like someone sharing something they genuinely loved. Before we left, she gave my wife and daughter sunflowers from her garden, carefully prepared with the leaves removed and stems wrapped in foil. Then she sent us home with fresh zucchini. Along with everything else, these folks have figured out how to make dining personal. It felt less like eating in a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's lovely home--where there is genuine pride and gratitude that you've joined them for dinner. That's a rare feeling today, and Casa Nuova delivers it naturally. And then there's the food. The Oysters Rockefeller were outstanding. The fried mozzarella was exceptional. The Pesce Fra Diavola--with clams, mussels, calamari, and scallops--was perfectly prepared and served in a sauce that complemented rather than overwhelmed the seafood. The veal scallopini was tender, beautifully seasoned, and expertly sauced. Even our daughter's simple pasta dish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Honestly, I'm almost afraid to go back because I don't know how they could possibly do better. Casa Nuova delivered one of the most memorable restaurant experiences I've had in a very long time. My sincere thanks to everyone at Casa Nuova for such a lovely evening. You made my wife, daughter, and me feel genuinely welcome, and we left with full stomachs, smiles on our faces, and an experience we'll remember for a long time.
