Grappa — Restaurant in Dorado

This was one of the best meals OF OUR LIVES!! We have traveled all over the world, we love trying new restaurants, this cannot be missed! The service is SO warm and attentive, you will not want for anything. The food is VERY high quality and you can taste the care that goes into each dish. We ordered the rosemary focaccia bread as well as pasteles for appetizers. If you are at the restaurant and they have pasteles (during the winter holiday season) ORDER THEM! We had the chicken carbonara pasta as well as the wild caught salmon on tomato basil risotto. We ate everything. The food was DELICIOUS. We did not want the moment to be over. I’m not sure who else is making this high of quality of food anywhere else (and I don’t just mean in the town or on the island). We usually do not order dessert but had loved all of the food so much we ordered the vanilla gelato with salted caramel and fruit, what else can I say besides IT WAS SO GOOD. I told someone working there that I never wanted to eat anywhere else again! A reservation is required (just call, I believe I called the day of but if you know your plans you can call before that), everyone spoke perfect English and Spanish (I’m not sure about other languages), we parked in the town plaza (the attached picture with the holiday tree shows where that is) and walked one short block, but you can also parallel park in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is nestled between other houses and small businesses. They also serve lunch on some days. The internal decoration is so cute and creative. You will be able to determine which house it is from the outside because it is the only pink one (pictures attached) . It’s just perfect. It’s the best combo of amazing food and cool style, you feel like you are discovering a secret. We will be back and we have recommended to friends and family who appreciate amazing food...

This is one of the top restaurants in Dorado. Excellent menu and weekly specials expertly prepared and delivered. Probably our favorite eatery in the area.

We had the Insalata di Frutti. It was good, but actually could have used a little more raspberry vinaigrette. I can't believe I hust wrote that as I usually want less than half the amount of dressing restaurants add to salads. Otherwise it was fantastic with strawberries and blueberries along with crushed nuts.

For mains we tried the chicken carbonate, veal meatballs and spaghetti, and the vegan tortellini. All were wonderful and delivered hot.

We finished with the Chocolate cake with orange peel ice cream. The cake is more like a brownie which was fine for us. The ice cream was much too hard to eat so we had to slowly scape some as we tried to let it melt.

The service was excellent and our water was filled continuously throughout our meal.

The one complaint would be the size of the wine portions. We ordered a glass of Italian red and an Australian sauvignon blanc. For the high prices charged for the glasses, the pours were very small. We did notice that the table next to us ordered glasses of wine and the pours were at least 50% larger. This little issue was not enough to cause a reduction in the star rating, but after spending $150 for three people to dine, I would expect better quality control.

To end this review on a high note, the carry out bag was prepared for us with a small rose on top. What a...

THIS PLACE SUCKEDDD i got food poisoning from their stupid pesto pasta with shrimp. As I was eating it I didn’t even enjoy it but I wanted to eat something and then 2 hours later back in my hotel room I had aggressive stomach pain and you guessed it projectile vomitted into the toilet. Keep in mind I don’t throw up normally I haven’t thrown up since I was 7😣. I didn’t want to blame the food immediately I tried to give grappa the benefit of the doubt but then 2 hours later BAM I threw up again and it was the noodles😑. My sister had to hold my hair back and it’s all cause of grappa😤. And before you think it could’ve been something else I ate that day my sister was also throwing up and we shared the noodles so don’t question me! I then drank some water as I was dehydrated and just threw up my insides. 1 hour later I threw up FLUIDS. And this happened again another hour later. I spent the next day bed ridden only conscious for maybe 4 hours and couldn’t move or eat AND IT WAS SUNNY so I missed out on a wonderful beach day. I also felt bloated so despite throwing up everything and not eating the next day I still wasn’t giving Bella Hadid😔. Let this be a lesson to you TO...
