We had a pleasant experience. The service was wonderful and the food well made. I would like to see a more extensive selection in sparkling wines and a waiter ready to provide some recommendations with our meal. read more

Last night was our first and last experience at Grappa. We drove an hour with expectations of a great meal in a nice atmosphere. We were seated promptly in the wine bar at a table in the corner by the lounge area, which was fine. It was private, and cozy. We loved the squash and olive oil starter with warm bread, and the cheese they serve, but after 20 min and repeated attempts to get our waiter for drinks, and to order the appetizers, things got aggravating. The cozy table in the corner means you're invisible to the wait staff sadly. Finally a waitress takes our order including our entrees. We figured while we had her, let's go for everything. Our drinks arrived...paid for by the waitress , who apologized for the long wait and said "the drinks are on me " ok, great, that's very nice. Our appetizers arrived, the buffalo mozzarella appetizer was great, the eggplant shrimp appetizer which was a special was great, but dinner arrived an hour after the apps and during that hour, nearly impossible to get a drink. We didn't even have water. We finally get our waitress when the food arrives, and ask for a wine list. Never got it......we were 10 min into our entrees before our waitress came back, with 2 glasses of cabernet, she abruptly sat down in front of us and off she went. OK. No wine list, no choice of red or white, this is it. This is what you get. At least we finally have SOMETHING to drink we thought, and we knew we'd never get anything if we walked over and made an issue out of it. As for the entrees, my husband had pappardelle with short ribs, lacking salt and flavor, a completely bland tasteless dish, without even a piece of short rib to be found. I had salmon with shrimp and asparagus, again no salt, no sauce to tie the dish together. Just grilled salmon, which was good, but as good as anyone could do at home and mashed potatoes..... the shrimp and asparagus were as if they were boiled and placed on the plate, with whole raw cherry tomatoes, whole barely cooked garlic and boiled broccoli.....no salt, no flavor. Just a bunch of things put on a plate. No thought in that plate, no creativity, no flavor in either dish. So basically, we spent 135.00 for a a couple of appetizers we enjoyed , while feeling completely frustrated the entire time trying to get the attention of the wait staff, drinking cabernet we didn't want or ask for, and eating our very disappointing entrees. We also came to hate the little table in the far corner because the musicians came in during dinner and started setting up right next to us. A very noisy situation, because they had to move all the lounge furniture around to get setup, a few times, not just once. Not their fault but certainly when we were seated there, they could've mentioned it. We would've happily sat at the bar. The whole experience was frustrating and disappointing after reading all the great yelps about this place. We went in with anticipation and left knowing we'll never waste our time and money there again. Great ambience, terrible service, very mediocre food. NEVER AGAIN read more

Mediocre at best. The food was pricey and unfortunately bland and greasy. Service on the other hand was met with a lot of attitude. For a restaurant barley turning over tables you'd think they'd be a tad friendlier. read more

The food at Grappa is absolutely awesome. Everything from the drinks to the main meal was beyond my expectations. Cool atmosphere,Highly recommend!!!!! read more

I was very excited to try this restaurant with friends based upon the reviews. A bit disappointed. We thought we wanted to sit outside but were happy to keep our inside reservation. Outside is casual loud and fun for families. Inside is quiet and beautifully decorated. Starting off with great bread olive oil and cheese. Service was friendly and attentive. Be prepared to spend quite a bit on your dinner ie $44 for a dozen smaller oysters. $22 for 6. The food was mixed. Excellent octopus, tuna tartare appetizers and cannolis. Just ok chicken Florentine. Inside spinach cold in a clump. Potatoes were over cooked. Meatball appetizer was very bland. Veggies were crisp and tasty. Hubby not happy with filet mignon or carrot cake. Annoyed at credit card charge as in previous reviews and no prices on specials menu. Waitress had to keep leaving and checking the computer. We lingered and weren't rushed. We are all foodies and don't mind paying for good food and atmosphere. But not sure about returning. read more

Great place in a quaint country town! Whether you wish to eat outside on a beautiful summer day or have a cozy meal inside after skiing in the winter, Grappa is always a delicious and elegant dining experience. read more

The food was very good except for my chicken Francese dish. One of the pieces could not even be cut. My problem with the place was that it felt like I was eating in someone's dressed up garage. Probably cozy at night. read more

UGH I dont even know where to begin. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE FROM BEGINNING TO END. Whoever trained the staff at Grappa Ristorante should be publicly stoned to death. After being told there was 45min wait, we headed upstairs to sit at the bar. We sat there for 15 minutes before the bartender asked for our drink order!!!! THERE WAS ONLY THREE OTHER PEOPLE SITTING AT THE BAR !!!! When the bartender finally came to take our order, my wife, eight months pregnant, asked for a virgin mojito. The bartender giggled and says "that's stupid". WOW!!! WTF. I'm surprised my wife didn't strangle her!! After we explained that pregnant women should not drink alcohol, the bartender said, "but that probably tastes gross". GEEZUS HELP ME. My wife was so pissed that she didnt order anything at all. I sucked down my drink in record time so I could get her away from this rude bartender. Finally, we were seated at a table & given menus. After a 15min wait, a waiter appeared and asked us for our drink order. We ordered sodas AND an appetizer ( I anticipated not seeing our waiter for another 20mins). The waiter says, "I will take the appetizer order when you're ready to order entrees". WTFFFFF!!! I asked why and he said (I kid you not!) "its easier for me to put both orders into the kitchen at the same time". WHAT!?!? It was a ridiculous statement, but I could already tell that Grappa Ristorante was an amateur operation and there was nothing we could do. We proceeded to eat bland, mediocre Italian food at high end prices. THEN, 45 MINUTES AFTER WE FINISHED EATING I HAD TO WALK DOWNSTAIRS TO THE HOSTESS STAND TO ASK FOR OUR CHECK BECAUSE WE HADNT SEEN OUR WAITER SINCE THEY DELIVERED OUR ENTREES (ALL THE SURROUNDING TABLES FOLLOWED US). The hostess was very professional and apologetic. We had our check in a matter of minutes. THEN, OUR WAITER COMES TO OUR TABLE AND GIVES US TWO SHOTS OF ANISETTE LIQUEUR!!!!!!! My wife is VERY visibly pregnant!!!! I explained again that pregnant women should not consume alcohol. The waiter says, "oh cmon dont be mad! You guys are having a baby and I cannot even get a girl to have sex with me!!" This was one of worst experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. I also shared this story on my FaceBook page, along with a picture of the inappropriate waiter. read more

I can't even give a star though I would have loved to go! After a long day we were starving and the menu looked lovely. We drove 25 min if from our stay at a lodge in Vernon to park and then be told they aren't serving dinner. It was 8:30 on a Sunday and the man working said they close early though the website says they close at ten. After saying we need to eat he tried to say just sit down and have drinks. Again we explained the website never mentioned closing and not serving food! A big disappointment to not even get to dine. read more

Put aside the absolutely adorable town and pretty interior. Now lets get to business. I requested a local wine (I actually meant a NY State wine). The waiter - lets just call him dick. Well, Dick stated that there aren't any good wines in NY State so I should request something else. Ok asshole - Um, I mean Dick, what would you recommend? I received a pinot noir from 07 napa. It was just ok. Side bar - I do think NY State wines are actually quite nice. I like the Reislings that Ive had and understand that the Finger Lakes have a similar soil to Alsalse. Ok, now lets put aside the overly dry pinot noir and get to the appetizer. Antipasta for two. Yummmm but not yummm with eight m's. The mozz was actual baratta which was a pretty excelent decision. Snapper w/ olives, tomato, and herbs. Ok - I actually felt kind of sick after eating dinner but it could be that I scarfed my food down really quickly. My friend had the stuffed salmon w/ crab and dijon. She enjoyed her meal even though Asshole, I mean Dick refused to refill our water and decided he would nap during the time to get the check. All in All the food was good but not a four star and the ambiance was a four star but the waiter was an asshole (i mean dick) so lets take the median range and call it a solid 3. read more

Awesome!!'!! Great food, really good wine selection, and the atmosphere is beautiful!

The best - and I mean the BEST - Chicken Parm. Hands down, no doubt. The sauce is incredible and the service is class. 4-5 star all the way. Nice bar, plenty of rustic qualities, etc. Menu is fantastic. My go-to when in Warwick. read more

Came here about a month ago with DH and 2 friends on a Sunday night. I can't speak for them but I know DH and I will not be returning for a long long time. It was about 8:30pm when we arrived and shown a table, there were full tables but it wasn't packed and there was a band playing which we found odd for a Sunday so it was a bit loud. The most frustrating part of the whole experience was how inattentive the waiters were. It took 25 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge us and take our drink order which then was only the bus boy. Then it took about 20 or so minutes for someone to tell us the specials but even for the waiter to do that he had to be prompted by the bus boy. Then we painstakingly waited for someone to come back and take our order which we had to ask the bus boy to go get. Why do you ask did we hang about because it was 8:30pm and in Warwick, basically nothing else was open and we were looking to have a nice sit down meal to catch up with friends. We ordered appetizers that never came... they brought out our entree and when I mentioned that we didn't have our appetizers without saying a word the waiter brought them back into the kitchen to return 5 minutes later with our appetizers after we were finished he brought back our now cold food. Not even an apology for the mix up. The only shining star in this place was the bus boy who was awesome. It was really unfortunate that the service sucked and when you even got service they acted too good to even be in your presence. What I ate cold was very good but their attitudes turned me off the most. My in-laws love coming here but I know the next time they suggest it I am going to veto it! read more

The grilled octopus app was outstanding. John Dory and Veal Saltibocca entrees were also very good. The pre meal bread and cheese were great and the complimentary home made anisette was very smooth. We drove an hour to get there and we will return. Contrary to some of the bad reviews our service was great. read more

This was the second time I was here and this place is just great! The service is excellent and the food, well, the food is pretty amazing. They start you with some cheese and this eggplant/garlic combo with bread! Delicious! The short rib rav's are not to be missed. All their sauces that I've tried are to die for! And you get sambuca on the house after dinner. Can't beat that! read more

First rate all around. This place has a new partner owner, Nick who came from another good local eatery. He has already made some notable improvements to the menu and the service read more

Went to Grappa tonight. The atmosphere was friendly and cozy and the service was excellent. The food was good but not great. I was shocked by the low quality parmesan cheese that they served. It looked and tasted like Kraft jarred parmesan. I scraped it off my pasta. The chocolate lava cake and coffee was very good and a nice ending to the dinner. read more

A little gem in beautiful Warwick. We had our family dinner here for Christmas Eve and it was delicious. Service was wonderful as well as the atmosphere. We also like to eat here in the warm weather because they have outside seating! A definite must try! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Warwick. The food is delicious, and the staff is very helpful and polite.

We watched them give our table away 15 mins after our reservation time and we weren't seated until nearly an hour after the reservation. The saving grace is that the food is definitely good but a bit overpriced in my opinion. read more

Loved this place. The outdoor seating was great and our waitress was very patient and nice. Drinks came out quick and were refilled before we even had to start looking around to grab anyone. I had the Avocado, tomato and beet appetizer along with the complimentary bread with oil and zuchini in it. For the main course I had the Gnocchi with bolognese sauce. All were great. I went inside the place to look around and loved it in there. Extremely high exposed ceiling with brick walls gave the seating and bar a very nice, very old times feel. I can't wait to come back! read more

Ok, I live in Warwick, but I really don't get out into the town enough. I've lived here since I was 12 but I've actually never eaten here (though it hasn't been here as long as that heheh) Anyway, my sister and I decided to visit this past Saturday after a hike at Waywayanda. It seemed to be quite busy inside (we ate outside) Service was slow but that was ok, I wasn't expecting it to be fast. Though it did take awhile to get my hot tea, which is why they didn't get five stars, not so much because it was slow (because I knew that they were busy), but the fact that the teacup was dirty. But I sucked it up because I didn't want to wait for a new one and they didn't charge me for the tea because of the wait. The bread and zucchini oil dish is awesome, the escargot was different and very good. My sister got the chicken sausage broccoli rabe panini and liked it. I got the John Dory Marechiara pasta, the seafood was great, except for the calamari, but the pasta sauce was quite bland. The waiters were very nice, dealing with other folks who brought dogs that weren't exactly friendly so they got a lot of points for that! All in all, I'll totally go back sometime. read more

Wow!!! This place is a hidden treasure. We had a late lunch her on a beautiful afternoon. For starters I had the jumbo crab meat with an arugula salad and my son had the meatballs. Both were great! For our entrees my daughter had the salmon special, my son had the lobster ravioli and I had the halibut. The food was perfect, all of the ingredients were unmistakably fresh. I'm pretty picky about fish and the fish tasted super fresh (not ever frozen), I wonder how they pull this off being so far from the city. Our waiter, Alejandro, was very professional and attentive. This place really has a 4 1/2 to 5 star feel to it. read more

I don't often give 5 stars but I believe that grappas truly deserves it. The service is attentive, the atmosphere is inviting, and the food is exceptional. The fish is fresh and creatively prepared, the steaks rival some of the best. It is tough to find a bad meal here. While it may be located in warwick NY it stands up to any restaurant I have eaten at in NYC. read more

My wife and I went to Grappa tonight for our Anniversary. Do yourself a favor and disregard all negative reviews about this restaurant. The service and food were outstanding. The staff could not be more attentive and the food was delicious. The appetizer that we had was the chopped shrimp avocado with beets and it was delicious. I had the lobster Fra Diavolo which was delicious as well as my wife's sea bass. The dessert , a chocolate molten cake served with vanilla gelato was also outstanding. I would highly recommend Grappa to family and friends. read more

All I can say is wow! My husband and I came here tonight for our 1 and 11 year anniversary together. We both feel as though this was the best meal that we have had since our honeymoon in Italy last year. We started our dinner with the buffalo mozzarella which you can absolutely tell was freshly made. It was moist, delicious and flavorful. For entrees, we both ordered off of the specials menu. I had the lobster ravioli and he had the filet mignon in some kind of peppery goodness sauce. Both were as of heaven had dropped dinner onto our plates. And whoever this new pastry chef was did a phenomenal job. I don't know if it will be out of season but definitely try the strawberry rhubarb pie. Yum! So now that I have told you about the happy tummy I had I have to say the service was excellent as well. From the second I sat they put the napkin in my lap for me (which always catches me off guard), there was never a crumb on the table, nor was there an empty glass. All in all, these 5 stars are well deserved. Definitely go and give grappa a chance.. Everything about this restaurant made our night even more special. read more

Outstanding place from start to finish. Excellent food & drink in a really comfortable, upscale atmosphere. Dine outside or on the 2nd floor upstairs. Red sauce type dishes were excellent as was the Lobster Ravioli. Awesome Bread and the complementary eggplant dip and fresh Parmesan Cheese is the best I've had anywhere. Desserts are homemade & there is an extensive bar menu. Will absolutely frequent when in the area. Complementary, Homemade Grappa is served as an after dinner drink as well. Be sure to make reservations as it's very busy and you still may need to wait a bit at peak times. Overall, a really great place read more

Very nice. Great team service. Reasonable prices for food that is just a step below top notch. And the room is a work of art. It's worth a trip beyond the normal patterns. And don't miss the complementary homemade annisette. read more

This place was amazing. Outdoor seating, wonderful service, delicious food. You can't go wrong. So glad we came across this restaurant! Thank you! read more

Delicious oil and cheese and bread to fill up on at the table, why order ? Because the food is fresh, tasty and good. The service was a little slow so they offered a round of free drinks. A large selection of wine is available.! And after dinner a fun surprise. read more

We've been to Tuscany twice. We ate at nothing but outdoor quiet little ristorantes all over the TuscAn countryside. Grappa is About the most authentic place we've eaten this side of the Atlantic. The servoce was excellent. The food was superb. And like in Italy... They don't rush u thru ur meal. I cant wait to go back and imagine I am in Tuscany again. read more

From one italian to the world this is hands down the best italian restaurant i have ever eaten at. The owners are really great as well. They are always supporting the community. Love love this place! read more

Best restaurant in Warwick for date night by far!! The atmosphere is awesome just as the staff is. The mushroom ravioli is aaahh-mazzing! Definitely recommend this spot. read more

Good food. Food: Everything good. I wish I could remember what i had. Price: Pricey. Service: Friendly and efficient. Atmosphere: Upscale and low-key, though it was very early. Drinks: Full bar. I will be back if I'm in the area. read more

You are paying for the atmosphere and not for the food. Portions are half then normal, with a long wait with no waiting at the door. I just do not get it! We have been here a few times and still nothing has changed. Food is terrible, and very over priced. Every time,e we go to dinner at Grappas you have to wait at least half hour for your meal and only four tables in the place. read more

If your in Warwick stop and eat here!!! Great little town with shops and this place has great food. Warm bread with a great dipping sauce. Had the fried calamari which was delicious. My wife had lobster ravioli and I had the filet Mignion. Both were very very pleased. Reasonable prices. 5 stars read more

Grappa Ristorante is excellent! The food is outstanding. The atmosphere is cozy and homey. The staff is wonderful. What is left to say? I was there for the first time on Sunday and I had a wonderful meal. The salmon was delicious and the appetizers we chose were delicious. I highly recommend this place. You will not regret it and will always go back! read more

Fantastic Northern Italian fair. Reminds me of the times I spent as a young Adult walking and eating through Little Italy in the City. Unfortunately it is the shell of its former self...but luckily we have this gem in quaint Warwick NY to remind us what real Italian food is. read more

Really about 3.5 stars. Grappa has very good food. The decor is also very nice. I've been there about four or five times, and each time the service has been glacially slow. As a result of this alone, I haven't returned in several years. Overall, you'll get a high quality meal at a price you'd expect to pay. Just plan to stay for much longer than a typical restaurant. read more

This place was amazing. Great atmosphere, unbelievable food..can't say enough. The best for a romantic evening!!!!
