Nice restaurant by the water in central Aarhus... It has the most amazing atmosphere especially in…read morethe summer time where there's this buzz of tons of people hanging out. The pizzas are always great. Last time I had the saltimbocca, which was good.... Nothing fancy and not that memorable, but good. Huge plus that they have a lot of wines from the Piemonte district and the cannonau wine from Sardegna. Kind and efficient staff and fair prices.

Grappa is "one of those places by the canal" as they're collectively known in Aarhus, and for good…read morereason. With one cafe right next door to the other, and their massive outdoor seating areas blending together, it is hard to tell where one stops and another begins. Unlike the somewhat ambiguous café-style cuisines of most of the other places, Grappa has chosen a clear route: up-scale Italian. And they do this quite well. Their pizzas are good, expect high-end ingredients and a lovely thin, Naples-style crust, though not quite soggy enough in the center to really be a true Naples pizza (probably to cater to most non-Italians, who would describe this style as "undercooked"). The pizzas are not cheap, with a simple Margarita coming in at well over 100 DKK. Their other dishes are equally well-made, and are variations on Italian classics, such as risotto and pasta carbonara. One thing I really appreciate at this place, is that they offer all of their pizzas and pasta dishes in a smaller, child-friendly size, and with appropriate tweaks to the recipe to make them OK for kids, rather than having an actual children's menu. Most places that have that, typically fill it with pretty boring stuff (nuggets and fries, anyone?), and if you have a food-loving kid, that's a bum rap. The service here is probably the main drawback. They come off as busy, sure, but also a bit full of themselves, you don't really feel that you're appreciated as a guest. So expect good food, but also a large, crowded place, where you're a bit just one guest out of many and is treated as such.

The people around us didn't get their food at the same time, so they had to eat half alone or let it get cold. It looked like the cheapest food you could buy, freezer food. Not homemade or anything to do with Italy. So disappointed. Me and my sister both, had a bad stomach ache the rest of the day. After this i have talked to people about this, and they are all saying, " NO we never go there, it's so bad, we could have told you not to go there" But now i know for myself. I hope this will make the restaurant open their eyes, because it's not hard to bring flavor to food with some italian spices. It's so easy. ps. I am danish, but have been living in Italy for 4 months, as well as the Us for 4 years, so i've had a lot of different food.
