What a terrific evening! Our server, Carly, was cheerful and enthusiastic and set the mood for the night. All of the staff were very attentive and friendly, checking on us often. We opted to dine on the prior, and they even adjusted the heat down when it became too toasty. Delightful to sit sidewalk adjacent and enjoy some rays of sun. Rosemary focaccia was complimentary and came with a pat of whipped butter. The butter was relatively flavorless, and the bread was average.. My friend swears by the spaghetti carbonara and it looked fantastic. Well studded with pancetta and a beautiful presentation. They were out of rigatoni (odd, but I'm flexible) which typically comes with the spicy sausage dish. The pappardelle were cooked perfectly. You could not have done any better. The sauce? Absolutely delicious. Hearty chunks of sausage had a great flavor, with a wide variety of mushrooms. The sauce was creamy with a light kick. Thé sprout garnish provided just the right textural difference and freshness. Fantastic dish. I'd order this every time and not be disappointed. The wine was good. I selected a newly arrived Sauvignon blanc, but it could have been colder or crisper to do it justice. Thé grappa afterwards (bartenders choice - Nardini Riserva) was delicious. Just the right amount of strength to get your attention, but finished with a hint of pear and vanilla flavor. Yes, you could consider this to be oricy for "just noodles" but they're phenomenal. The quality and freshness of the ingredients, combined with the attention to detail and the great team are what makes this five stars. Worth every dime. read more

We decided to go for a night out and reserved grappa after seeing the rave reviews and the place proved it right. The ambience was very upscale and nice. Out server was very friendly and had great recommendations. We got a bottle of a white blend and decided to get some grilled asparagus and some Brussels sprouts with Bree for our apps. The portion sizes were decent and the food was delicious. They let you tailor the dishes as they make everything fresh. We got the pesto rigatoni. It wasn't the best though. For our dessert, we ordered the tiramisu as it is their most popular dish and they blew it out of the park with this one. It was creamy, very espresso-ey and they even added some blueberries which we thought was strange but the combination sort of worked. Overall, a great place for a girls night out or for a date night. read more

Grappa in Queen Anne -- so good. Highly recommend for date night or a fun evening with friends over drinks and a great dinner. Don't miss the sheep cheese they light on fire -- it's not just fun, it's insanely good. And the Caesar salad? SO tasty. The dressing is amazing, and I love that they give you little toastettes to sprinkle on top. Everything we ordered: 1. Caesar Salad -- 9/10 2. Saganaki -- 8/10 3. Spicy Sausage Rigatoni -- 8/10 4. Grappa's Famous Paella -- 7.9/10 5. Spaghetti Aglio e Olio -- 7.9/10 6. Tiramisu -- 7.5/10 read more

always a great experience at Grappa in Queen Anne. After a Saturday evening event we wanted to get some late night food and sadly everything was closed. but not Grappa. It's hard to get good food photos in their because it is very dark and romantic. We got seated in the bar area and got served quickly and found some good wine pairings for our selections. Thank you Grappa read more

In town visiting Seattle' Queen Anne area and Grappa came up as a great food option. Grappa suggests Italian but I would say more med fusion style food with familiar classics with their own spin. Overall their food is fun and delicious. One of my faves was the Paella. Definitely looked the part but flavor was a little different. Fire example the sausages were not chorizo but were more Italian. . My other fave was the seafood crepe. Definitely a savory crepe that head plenty of crab. The hollandaise add a nice flavor punch as well. Also they have a full bar with plenty of family classics with their own takes added in. Our waiter was super friendly and pointed us to some good options. He talked about the fusion style of food and took care of us. He made our experience even better. The overall decor of the place was darker with graphite colored walls and medium wood tables. Thr vibe was more modern comfort. You could have great brunch there but definitely be good for evening drinks. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area. read more

Today I learned, Grappa is an Italian alcoholic beverage - grape based brandy, and this restaurant is named after that. We made reservations just in case for Thursday 8pm dinner but it was not too busy and got seated earlier than our reservation time. We shared an appetizer and entree as the dishes are fairly large sized, and I am glad that they put in calories in each menu item to get a good gauge on if it is enough food. We got the American wagyu bites and seafood risotto, as well as 2 kinds of grappas as we never had grappa before and given the restaurant is named as such, they must have a good selection. The American wagyu bites are above average but I wouldn't consider it a good price at $39. I liked the very rich sauce but it is a bit on the saltier side, but it is a good pairing with the grilled rosemary bread. The steak is cut into bite sized chunks and seem to be cooked to a medium, which makes it quite juicy, but there weren't many pieces. The seafood risotto is amazing. I liked the lobster bisque addition for enhanced flavor, but the risotto itself is quite creamy and delicious. The salmon is okay but the shrimp is large and fresh, and there is a good amount of them in the dish (5 pieces). The grappas we got were by recommendation of the server and they paired well with the respective dishes. They were around $11-16 for most, but some are at least $30+. As we were new to grappa, we got the less expensive options and still greatly enjoyed the flavors. Service is good as water refills were present and we got checked up a few times if we needed anything. The server also gave great recommendations that shaped a positive experience to this meal. The only downside I see is that prices are way above to the typical restaurant, so I would recommend this primarily for more special occasion meal. read more

Walked in this morning looking forward to having this eggs Benedict and the one of the employees I asked a question to was so indifferent and unfriendly that I decided to walk out. Not a good way to run a business!!! You're serving people so if you don't like people find a new career! I've been here many times but I think they just permanently lost a customer that is a long time Queen Anne resident! As always I'll tell scores of people about this experience! read more

Great Mediterranean place with a diverse menu and lots of vegetarian options! Came here on a recommendation and the menu online which I found to be impressive in the number of options I actually wanted to try. So often, not many mains entice me but I was struggling to decide here. Kind of a dark, moody vibe (love the dripping candles) and hopping even on a random weeknight. Started with the hummus - very good. We also both ordered wine. I was between two and the waitress brought me a tasting sample of each. I love that. Made my decision much easier! For mains, we really struggled to select only 2 options, but we went with the branzino and the spicy sausage rigatoni. Both were wonderful, with good flavor, decent portions, and cooked to perfection. Looking forward to another trip out so I can try more options on their menu! read more

We finally made it to Grappa for dinner, some of our friends love the place and wanted us to try it. I loved the ambiance and the service was great. To start we got Spicy Feta Corn, and Saganaki. Saganaki was a fun experience where they set it on fire at the table, we loved the cheese. Spicy Feta Corn was great, we finished it immediately. I got the Spicy sausage Rigatoni, and loved it. I also got to try Grappa's Famous Paella and liked it. We finished our meal with the Flourless Chocolate Cake, it was amazing. read more

Went here for lunch and it was pretty good. Service was nice and friendly, it's a nice spot, we got seated pretty fast. The mimosa was good. The paella was good but I felt like maybe a lil pricy but I think paellas are usually pricy. We did share the dish and I felt like it was enough for two of us bc we weren't so hungry. Overall it was good, would need to come back to have real opinions read more

Grappa was absolutely amazing! The service was friendly, and even though I had a reservation, we were seated right away. The ambiance was lovely, and our server was attentive and welcoming. We started with some wine, then enjoyed their vodka pasta, which was excellent, and finished with tiramisu for dessert--also delicious. Located in downtown Queen Anne, it's a charming area to explore on foot afterward. I'll definitely come back if I'm in Seattle again--this place is totally worth it! read more

Grappa is a great date night spot! The ambiance is dark and intimate, and the restaurant was lively when we went. We tried the Seattle Restaurant Week menu. We started off with some drinks, which were tasty and strong. The appetizers were just okay--The oysters tasted fresh, but had some hard shell remnants. The wagyu bites had a lovely sauce, but weren't as tender as I expected. The spicy sausage rigatoni was perfectly al dente and not too rich. The lamb osso bucco fell apart easily, and paired really well with the hearty potatoes and sauce. Both were fantastic! Dessert was a pumpkin panna cotta and flourless chocolate cake. I think the flourless chocolate cake was one of the best I've tried! Our server was polite and attentive, which made our night even better. The only other complaint--we were seated next to the open patio door, so the wind was too cold. I would try to sit away from that door during the winter months. read more

Spent $180 for 2 people with no drinks. Felt obnoxiously expensive especially we walked out of the restaurant hungry. The veggie zucchini pasta was okay and the primavera white sauce pasta had no depth of flavor -- felt that they just used cream and did not used any aged quality cheese. Too expensive for what you get. read more

What an excellent find in the heart of the West Queen Anne / Uptown area. This is an Italian Mediterranean fusion spot that has a diverse and impressive array of selections to try from. I ordered the spicy sausage rigatoni, which our waitress informed us that local customers complained when it was removed from the menu, and after trying it I understand why they wanted it back. It was very flavorful which the right amount of spice and the protein was a really good addition to this hearty pasta. In addition to the pasta, I also ordered a Hugo spritz which was delicious as well. Overall I would rate this place 4.1 / 5 stars. read more

Came in right after the Queen Anne Farmers Market. We were seated quickly without reservation on the patio and they allowed us to bring our dog! The patio is covered and a good size. We didn't go inside this time. We ordered the Caesar Salad with chicken and the halibut. The Caesar salad was perfect. The halibut had great flavor and was a hit with us. Great wine selection as well! The staff were very friendly and nice. Can't wait to eat here again! read more

We've eaten at Grappa twice now and have enjoyed both occasions. This restaurant is a great choice for a celebration dinner or if you are looking for something slightly more upscale than your average sit down. The food was delicious each time. Most recently we started with the octopus app and the octopus was cooked perfectly. I had the spicy sausage rigatoni and would definitely recommend. The second time visiting we did wait about 15 or 20mins between our appetizer and main courses, but that didn't occur the first time, so may have just been a busy night. The restaurant does get busy, especially on weekends so I would recommend getting a reservation to avoid a long wait. Overall, a great choice on top only Queen Anne! read more

Was staying in the area for a staycation and went here back to back (dinner and next day breakfast) . Dinners vibe was dim lit with decor of melted candles. I ordered the Spaghetti D'mare and ate every bite! For breakfast the vibe is bright and windows openly cheerful w/same decor. I ordered the Mediterranean skillet and OMG! Amazing filled with flavor and tons of food! All the staff were great and we had the same bartender/waitress both times "Mariah" and she was a sweetheart! I've already recommended this place! read more

Really friendly staff, casual vibe, menu that crisscross the Mediterranean (Greek, Italian, Spanish....). Tried a few sharable plates- table-flamed saganaki is showy, octopus is tender, side of broccolini a good option if you are on a diet. Salads are generous size but HEAVILY dressed- ask for it on the side if you try it. Probably wouldn't return, but it's a nice spot with something on the menu for everyone if you are in the neighborhood read more

This is my FAVORITE restaurant in Seattle. My boyfriend and I ate there twice during our trip because it was so good. Please get the Chicken Marsala Pasta dish it's fantastic. I'm not really a mushroom fan but it was SO delicious and flavorful. Their butternut squash soup, which may be seasonal, was insanely good too. (I would skip the paella though ... it was a bit dry!) We had such kind and friendly servers and the restaurant itself is very spacious. It's also in a really nice area so you can go for a walk after dinner. read more

Ambience: Cozy, perfect for a date night! Food: I'd give this a 4/5. Most dishes hit the sweet spot. I particularly liked the zucchini noodles! I feel their Paella could have been more flavorful, it didn't feel as authentic but was still good. :) Service: The staff is really kind! They accommodated us although they were fully booked out by opening their restaurant slightly early for us. :) read more

Grappa is a Greek-Italian restaurant located at a busy corner in the Queen Anne Hill neighborhood in Seattle, right across from Starbucks. Plenty of metered street parking. We took my parents here for dinner and chose it since our 4yo son also loves Mediterranean cuisine. We had four excellent dishes and one really bad one, so 4-stars overall factoring in service and the laid-back vibes of the restaurant with wooden decor. Otherwise, food is probably 3.5 stars. Good dishes (4 stars) * Spaniard Octopus - They braises it, so very tender. It comes with pickled onions and pita bread. * Kid's Pasta - Custom Rigatoni dish with chicken and lemon-butter sauce, my son's favorite. * Scallops Piccata - My parents shared this dish and loved it. Scallops are light but the fettuccine is filling! * Roasted Lemon Chicken - Excellent - the lemony flavors were infused with the bone-in half chicken and the roasted potatoes. Bad Dish (2 stars) * Their Paella had really, really dry rice and not all of the mussels were fresh. Did they forget the broth or maybe cooked the Bejeezus out of the rice? My parents took this dish home and attempted to rehydrate it before reheating. Desserts - The pistachio and vanilla gelato are both good and suitable for sharing. However, their tiramisu and bread pudding dishes both have alcohol so not ideal for toddlers. read more

Wonderful vibey atmosphere with delicious cocktails and tasty food. The best dish here I've tried is their butternut soup. It tastes like the greatness of butternut smashed with truffles and other goodness. I often think about this soup and hope that it's always on the menu wow. There is live music on some nights, featuring a wonderfully talented musician. read more

The food was good and well portioned and plated. The drink was also very tasty. The service was attentive and kind. We sat on the covered patio which has heaters and is dog friendly. They were very kind to our pups! The ambiance was nice since we mostly had the whole patio to ourselves and it was a cloudy January day. We would definitely go back, especially because they are dog friendly! read more

Came here for brunch on a weekend. Would recommend if you live in the area or want to show off upper Queen Anne. It was easy to get a reservation for five online. Decent brunch menu and cocktails. Food was 4/5 but can't complain. Great service and was cheaper than the $$$ suggested by Yelp (not saying it was cheap though, by seattle prices seemed pretty typical). Ambience is cute, it's certainly a good date spot. Weirdly they have all these melted wax candles everywhere. Maybe they look cuter at night when it's dark and they're actually lit but in the light of day look like Halloween decorations that someone forgot to take down. read more

I haven't been here since the summer, and I'm so pleased that I decided to pop in today! It was a bit of a stressful day, and I only mention that because the vibe at Grappa immediately soothed me. Easy going piano jazz playing at just the right volume, and the restaurant lights are down low. All I wanted was a yummy salad and a glass of Red Mountain Syrah, and I got exactly that. I decided to finish my meal with their flagship Negroni. Mariah was an excellent bartender exuding kindness that is not normally found in Seattle servers. I appreciate this being originally from the south. I can't believe I waited four months to return to Grappa. I've had two wonderful experiences in a row. I think this place needs to be implemented into the regular rotation. Thanks for helping turn my day around! read more

I have eaten here many times and every time I have been pleased with the service and the food. (I always get the saganaki.) My only complaint is they need to get rid of those big piles of melted wax that are everywhere. They are gray and look dirty and take away from the ambience. Others agree with me. Other than that, this is my go-to place on Queen Anne. read more

First, let me say that I did not eat at the restaurant...this is purely a review of the two dishes I ate. I live 2 blocks anway and really wanted to like the food. I'm a huge fan of Tilikum Place and was hoping for a similar experience closer to home. I ordered the Meatballs and the Spicy Sausage Rigatoni, based on ratings. Unfortunately, the meatballs were small, dense, and very reminiscent of frozen. The pasta was good but not great, heavy on onions and sausage that was chunkier and chewier than I'd have preferred. Tender meatballs aren't difficult and the rigatoni was ranked as the most liked dish so maybe I got a bad night. I will give them another try in house before shelving them, but they are starting from behind. read more

Food is delicious. Portions are generous. Pasta is fresh and tasty. Their focaccia was not what I usually think of when I think of focaccia. It was beautifully toasted but dense. Service is fast and friendly. Our server was great at answering our questions about the menu. Very chill and relaxing environment. Definitely a good spot for small groups. Would definitely say it would be a good date spot. Not too loud. But tables are not set up for more than groups of 4. read more

We were here for a multi-course thanksgiving dinner, so tough to review against the normal menu. Loved the place, vibe and service. The food was not consistent and had a few peculiarities though, Squash soup and lobster bisque were both great as were our two salads. Our second course of wagyu beef bites were not good. Described as bites with a sauce what was delivered was a bowl of delicious sauce (almost stew like) and some small chunks of really terrible, chewy beef. Roast prime rib with au jus was actually just a grilled steak, not cooked properly and no au jus. Osso Bucco with Demi glacé tasted good, but the sauce was not Demi glaze. Lobster risotto was very good as was the cured salmon. read more

TLDR: Tasty well made food but wish a side was included (and bread if you'd normally give that eating in). My latest order was Alfredo with Chicken and it was very good! So far we have tried the spicy rigatoni (really good), Pappadelle Bolognese (didn't like so much), Chicken Marsala (very good and the only time I've ever liked this dish), Caesar salad, and a few other items. I have only ordered via delivery which has been fine except for an issue one time due to their ordering system, but they helped sort everything out and they went above and beyond to try to make sure I was happy after the issues I had, which I appreciated very much! Reason I didn't give 5 stars: My latest order was close to $60 and that was just for just Alfredo pasta with chicken added for $12 more (it was pretty small in size but the chicken helped make it more filling). I do wish their dinner dishes included a side (salad or veggie). I would still order but it will be on a more rare occasion due to cost. Note: Please bring the Chicken Marsala back, I loved it and never liked this dish until I tried yours. read more

We sat at the bar since we didn't buy any not have a reservation. The bartender there was great. Of course the menu was pricey, but I expect that at a nice restaurant like this. We both got the wagyu filet, and it was amazing. No regrets! read more

We enjoy coming to this spot, but it's just so darn expensive. The food is always good. We like to order the risotto. The restaurant itself is a cute, quaint spot on Queen Anne. Street parking can get kinda tough on weekends, but you're usually able to find something relatively quick. The price is our main hold up for this restaurant. While the food is good, there are comparable restaurants that are cheaper. After tax and tip, it doesn't feel worth it at times. read more

This place was fine. After going there, it didn't really surprise me why they had so many reservations open on a weekend. We went on a Friday for happy hour and were one of two tables, with about 10 staff members. And the service was STILL super slow and bad. Our waiter consistently forgot to bring us things- he forgot to bring out more cava when we wanted more drinks (had to remind him more than once) and he completely forgot my friends gazpacho, then brought it after we reminded him. And since he brought it out after our entrees (which was odd), he didn't give her the happy hour price even though she ordered it 45 min before happy hour ended. The atmosphere is fine. It's trying to be cute but there's just something missing. The outdoor tables feel reminiscent of peak Covid- plastic awnings and makeshift outdoor furniture. Our spot inside was fine, but where was an awkward chair at the edge of our booth that looked impossible to get in and out of. The food was super boring, but priced like fine dining. My Mediterranean salad came on nasty wilted romaine and was no better than something I've ordered at Olive Garden for $8. And 4 overcooked shrimp were $9. My zucchini linguine was just wet vegetables with no sauce and no flavor. I can't really think of anything I liked about this place to be honest. read more

Our night got off to a rough start when random people snuck past the host stand and took our reserved seats. After waiting awhile, we agreed to sit on the patio. Our waiter went above and beyond to get us a table inside, after hearing it was our anniversary dinner, and the stolen seat situation. He proceeded to comp our first round of drinks and gave us a free dessert as well. The gnocchi was fantastic, the Jaguar's tail and other drinks were all great, the paella was fabulous as well. Our night was quickly redeemed by amazing customer service, food, drinks and music/atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place, just be aware that you 100% should get a reservation and be prepared to wait a while even having a reservation. Multiple groups were waiting outside for seats to be ready. However, the customer service blew us away. And the food was amazing. read more

The food was good but it didn't blow me away. It was quite pricey for what it was and I don't think I'd return. I ordered the carbonara but the zucchini in it did overwhelm the pasta.

Ambiance was great; gorgeous restaurant. read more
