About GrapeVine's Casual Italian Dining

GrapeVine's Casual Italian Dining provides a relaxing atmosphere with friendly staff, a cozy location just off the main square, and a variety of appetizers and drinks, including Peroni on tap for under $5. The restaurant is spacious and features a beautiful bar, great music, and delicious cocktails, making it a popular spot for many visitors. The decor and overall vibe contribute to a good feeling, although the food can be hit or miss.

Food quality has received praise, especially for dishes like the Baked Ziti and Tuscan Salmon and Risotto. The Chicken Parmesan has been described as very delicious and one of the best ever, with attentive service from staff like Brittney, who makes excellent suggestions. The Zucchini and Carrot Soup is a nice starter, and the cannolis and Tiramisu delight with their texture and flavor. However, some menu items like the shrimp scampi may have unexpected flavors, such as a strong onion taste. The Margherita Flatbread has been singled out as a tasty choice for repeat visits.

While many customers appreciate the friendly servers and the lively environment, the food sometimes feels average, with some dishes not meeting expectations. Despite this, the overall experience remains positive due to the friendly staff, good drinks, and relaxed setting. The restaurant is often recommended by locals and is considered a fun, cozy place to enjoy dinner, even if the food isn't always spectacular. For those seeking the best Italian cuisine, it may not fully meet those standards, but it remains a favorite for its atmosphere and service.

Went for the second time last night. Husband’s veal scallopini looked like beef tongue piled on top of pasta. He was so disappointed. I ordered Chicken Picatta. It was bland and dry. We love these two dishes but it was a fail ordering them here.

First experience- waitress disappeared for 20+ minutes, then was served a cold, hard sweet potato.

Second experience- (husband wanted to give it another shot and daughter wanted some spaghetti.) Walked in to an empty restaurant at 5:15. Was told that we couldn't be seated because there were "a bunch of reservations at 6"... 🙄 it wouldn't have taken 45 minutes for our family of 3 to be seated, eat, and be out the door.

The service was attentive and exceptional. Our server, Beatrice, made excellent suggestions, which was important, being this was our first visit.
The Zucchini and Carrot Soup, was an incredible start and the salads were fresh and refreshing.
I had the Tuscan Salmon and Risotto, (image below) (oh and notice we sampled the food before taking the photos) the Salmon was cooked perfectly and the Risotto (the true test of any chef) was truly perfection.
Ahhh then the desserts!
