I was kindly invited to their launch evening event at the beginning of December where I got to check out their gorgeous, brand spanking new venue which looks fabulous, with a Prosecco on arrival and chance to try a little sample of their food too..🥂
🧄🫒🍕🍝 From the canapés we got to sample; bruschetta, garlic bread, arancini, meatballs & focaccia – the food seems to be good quality, fresh and delicious. The house red wine, Nero D’Avola Sicilia, is one of the nicest red wines I’ve drank too at only £4.50 for a small glass..
Although early days, Grappa seems like a great place for a fancy Italian meal and to start your night out with some lovely drinks at a good entertainment..
When we returned again, we gladly got to try a lot more of their fresh, tasty cuisine… We enjoyed;
Cacio Pepe – finally my first time trying this dish & I found it utterly delicious. A staple, simple but divine Italian pasta meal including Pecorino Cream Cheese Sauce, Artichoke & Pepper – superb, I really enjoyed it Pistachio Martini – I mean what’s not to love? Had to have more than one haha.. Frito Misto Napoli – a mixture of mini arancino, potato croquette, cheese bites, mini calzone, frittatina do spaghetti & deep fried courgette flower with ricotta & provola – every element was tasty and great comfort food Garlic Bread with cheese – possibly the most garlicky thing I’ve ever eaten 😋 N’duja Amatriciana – nice dish with a hint of spice and pasta perfectly al dente Pistachio Soufflé – oh my word what an end to a perfect meal, this is indulgent and mouthwatering!! def recommended 💚
We enjoyed our evening here and it was great to catch up with some other foodies. I think some others had some constructive feedback and areas to be improved for the new restaurant, but we are all very excited to see this restaurant develop as it has such potential to be THE place to be in town! We hope to return again soon and look forward to seeing their...
Read moreAfter a very warm welcome and a pleasant drink downstairs we went upstairs, despite having been their half an hour our table was not ready. We were eventually sat in the window overlooking Glossop road , ideal, however the restaurant was cold. Drink and food menus arrived after around 10mins, we ordered a bottle of wine which duly arrived and was pleasant. Our food order was taken around 10mins later. The first course arrived fairly promptly Garlic bread Piccante, to share. It was Doughy, under cooked and small, very disappointing for the price. We then had to wait around 40mins for our mains to turn up, my wife ordered Salmon and I had Lasagne. The salmon came with an assortment of root vegetables which were dry however the salmon was fine. My Lasagne was again fine but the portion was at the best small. We asked for the bill, which again took forever to arrive and upon checking I noticed the bar drinks had not been included, I advised of this omission and the amended one again took forever to come. There was a large party on the table next to us which were there when we sat down and only received their mains as we left, obviously it appears the Grappa has a problem with obtaining, processing and delivering orders. All in all a very disappointing night and it is unlikely we will be back as there are many Italian restaurants offering better food,...
