Ordered the lemon picata. Was extremely lemon, way too much so. Should have been more subtle. Chicken itself was good, nice presentation just needed a less tart sauce.

Tried 2 c to make reservations, 2 x message said we will get back to you, nothing! Tried emailing, we will get back to you, again Nothing! Either they are out of business or are making so much money they don’t need mine. Disgusting!!

I’m visiting from Texas for work, and one of my colleagues took me to Grasso’s, saying it was one of her favorite dinner spots, and now I totally see why! The food was absolutely incredible (I had the Spaghetti & Ravioli with meat sauce—10/10, no complaints here!), and the service was just as impressive. Our glasses were always full, salads and garlic bread came out quickly, and the staff checked on us regularly with a smile.
The owner was the kindest person, and he made sure we left both happy and full. Seriously, I’ve never left a restaurant so eager to write a review! I’d recommend Grasso’s to anyone. Even though most of my family and friends probably won’t find themselves in El Centro (lol), one of our company’s plants is here, and I’ll be telling all my coworkers to make sure they have dinner at Grasso’s when they’re in town. If you are looking for good food along with a great experience, this is the place to go!!!

On the positive side,
the food is very good and the OWNER thanked us as we were leaving the Restaurant.
On the negative side,
the server never once smiled at us.
We told her right at the start, we were celibrating our Anniversary and not even once did she wish us a happy anniversary or offer a small cheap desert (not required, but would have been a nice jesture)...
She, the server was very serious, had had no warmth or personality and seemed botherd to work there. We did not feel welcomed.
The atmospher of the Restarurant needs a TON of creative work!
Very boring ambience ...for example,
there are no booths (which make it more comfortable and romantic), as they only have cheap boring chairs and small tables throughout the Restaruant... The former Steak house (China Palace) had red comfortable booths and candles with dim lighting which made the atmospher warms and romantic.
There are a couple of cheap fake small trees that have no character and no small white lights (like in Italy)...
There were no plants to warm the place up and the lighting could be a bit more romantic and darker, with CANDLES on the table.
As far as drinks...they had the usual wines but there were no Margaritas.
Parking is easy but the parking lot looks ghetto and is dangerous due to all the uneven cracks in the cement...(not well kept).
We do not have many choices here in the Valley and if the Owner were serious about increasing business and having the place packed, he would consider some decorating upgrads and hire more WARM and FRIENDLY servers.
Vegetarian options: Good that they offered Gluten free Pizza.
