Grappino - Naples

The pasta was incredibly fresh and delicious. Their pizza options are quite unique and varied. However, the waitress didn't provide a clear explanation about the cold toppings on the pizza.

Grappino stands out as one of the most intriguing restaurants in Naples, particularly in terms of its decor. The restaurant features two main dining areas with lofty ceilings and an open kitchen and bar designed to resemble a structure within a structure. The ambiance is bright and lively, thanks to the unique lighting and decor that create a fun yet upscale atmosphere. The food was freshly prepared with high-quality ingredients and made to order. Our server was very friendly and attentive, although there were a couple of minor errors in our order. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and I look forward to returning.

The decor and staff were fantastic. It was a pleasure to dine out, and there was an abundance of staff available. Parking was much more convenient compared to downtown. The happy hour prices are quite affordable. I only ordered an appetizer, so I won't be commenting on the food.

Three stars gained mostly for the service of our server. We recently came here because of the reviews. Unfortunately, we left disappointed. So like many of my reviews, I 'll start with the positives. As mentioned our server was excellent. She knew the menu well and made some nice recommendations. While this place is alittle on the pricier side of italian-esque restaurants, elements like the infused grappa stand make it stand out alittle more. Now, onto the food. Pizza was excellent. There are a variety to choose from. Again, on the pricier side. A pizza to feed 2-4 people is about $40. Pasta was a different story. We came in alittle later so it was easy to see that they rushed the pasta. Of the two, one was super chewy and the other would compare to cardboard strips. When we told our server, she went brought the dishes back to the kitchen to be re-made. Then returned after the chef informed her that they were both cooked to the right temperature. Now this isn 't a meat dish. It 's pasta. What kind of a chef with even limited culinary smarts would make such a statement??? Instead of re-making the plates, the chef instead nuked the dishes. Now they were really inedible. If not for the disrespect of the chef, we would have returned. But as it stands, there are MUCH better places to choose from. Again the only reason they got 3 stars was from our server.

The best Italian food in Naples! Thank you to Nick and his staff for such a pleasant experience. We will be back.
