So first off Danial and Sel and of course Sue making all the drinks were unreal! Always ask for them .Great service not even the water glasses go under half. Appetizers were mouth watering. The mains including the lamb, chicken parm and steak along side the fish (sea bass) unreal !! Definitely recommend coming here for a bite and a drink !
Excellent food , the staff were great and very romantic environment . Very recomended.
Consistently solid food and outstanding service!!
Excellent food and service. Romantic fine dining setting. One of the best wine menus in the city. I loved my escargots, which they served in a melted cheese (in contrast to most other places, which serve it only in garlic butter) and my pasta. My kids loved their pasta and the staff was great with them. My husband loved his lamb. The sorbet for dessert is homemade and absolutely delicious.
Grappa is an incredible place to eat. The food here is incredible. The staff are great. Can't wait to go back
Perfection on a plate
(Translated) Nice place. The waiters are very attentive and helpful, making the experience very cool. The salmon was on point and the Tiramisu was not made with champagne crackers. (Original) Lugar simpático. Os garçons são muito atenciosos e prestativos, tornam a experiência bem bacana. O salmão estava no ponto e o Tiramisu não estava feito com biscoito champanhe.
We can’t go to Grappa so we brought Grappa home! I have missed this! I look forward to the day we can sit in the restaurant and have an amazing meal with great company. Thank you!
Great food and service
WOW! Went to Grappa last night for Summerlicious. My husband and I had a fantastic dinner. The fish cakes were moist and delicious, the smoked duck ragu was amazing so was the trout. Creme brulee was perfect! $25 each for a first class dinner. Can't really beat that. Will definitely go back!
We held a small engagement party at Grappa-- our families were very impressed with the delicious food and friendly service. It was such a lovely experience!
This place is amazing! Excellent food, even better service.
We just celebrated my Mom's 75th birthday at Grappa and everything was amazing! The service is more than excellent and the food is superb. They even surprised my mom with a slice of cheesecake for her birthday. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!
If I could give more than 5 stars I’ll definitely do it! Everything was so delicious!!
On Queensway, Northside, east of Royal York Blvd. Family owned Italian restaurant. Food is great. Daniel was serving us, great service and wonderful sense of humor. His co-worker Stephen was very efficient and pleasant. Highly recommend.
The food in this place good but not over the top great. Fine ambience with a decent service. Gnocchi, lamb rack and Chilean sea bass are some of the must try and the hummus with the corn bread they serve right at the start was a hit with me. All in all, a good experience but competitively speaking, I’ve had better.
The food and the service was excellent
Service and food are not good
Love the food and great prices!
A group of us had planned a surprise birthday dinner for our friend. Grappa is one of her favourite restaurants, as she loves their veal chop entree. When I called to pre-order (Covid style), I was told by Daniel that they no longer had that dish on the menu, but he would ask the chef to order it for us. What amazing customer service! We had our dinner party last night and our meal arrived; unfortunately, not all the entrees were present. I called Grappa and Daniel came on the line, apologizing for the mixup and immediately sending a staff member with the forgotten entree. As we hadn't been charged for this item initially, I said I'd pay the driver upon arrival, which Daniel adamantly refused. Our meals were fantastic; our friend relished her veal chop dinner and we all agreed that Grappa continues to offer fabulous food, while providing excellent customer service!
Delicious food and amazing ambiance! Great place to bring a date. My server Daniel was honestly incredible! The service he provided was superior to any place I have dined at before. Excellent experience
Go to place for family dinners
I go to Jacobs and Butcher Chef for Wagyu / Kobe / Miyazaki steaks. Grappa for my filet mignon and Chilean sea bass. Love it here. Thanks Daniel <3
Great location and awsome food
Great service! Food was delicious. Try the tiramisu!!!
The food is fabulous and the staff is knowledgable and helpful making for an extremely enjoyable dining experience I’d recommend to anybody.
a True hidden gem! Fantastic food and the service is very professional. Make sure to check out on Tuesday and Wednesday for half price wine!
First time visiting Grappa tonight. It was excellent. The service, the food and the music all made for a wonderful dinner. I had the 3 course meal and that’s a lot of food. We will definitely be back for more wonderful dinners at Grappa.
Best place in Etobicoke ????
Good food
Came for a function today. The service was outstanding and the food was incredible. Our main waiters Daniel and Rob made us feel like part of the family. Highly recommend for any occasion big or small!
Excellent dining experience as usual!!????????????
Great Italian food with a new modern design.
Lovely ambience. Professional service with no intrusions. Good Prix Fix Menu, generous portions, delicious food at a good price. Highly recommend.
12 of us celebrated my birthday there last night. Perfection and outstanding are two words that come to mind. Everyone enjoyed everything!! Those that had the salmon said it was the best they ever had. My beef was like buttah! The apps were divine, the pasta is amazing and the service is exemplary. There is something to be said about family run businesses. You definitely feel the love at Grappa. Thank you Daniel, Dominic, Ali and all. I’ll be back. Gina ❤️
Went to Grappa for my daughters university graduation celebration with a group of 7. Our waiter Daniel went above and beyond to make it a memorable occasion we will never forget. Honestly the service was incredible. The food was amazing as always along with extensive wine list! We love Grappa and highly would recommend to anyone!!!!!!
Great food ! perfect host !
Excellent food and service!
Very nice place. Very friendly staff
Excellent service, delicious food and very reasonably priced.
This is one of my favourite restaurants. Everything is made to order using authentic recipes and the proper amount of time to develop the flavours. We hosted many family events and parties here as well. The staff is very courteous and knowledgeable on the menu and drink pairing. You will not be disappointed.
Quality of good is great with excellent service. The duck breast risotto is really delicious. We would go back again.
Amazing food! Would love to come back here again....
Everything so delicious!!! And staff is amazing! Definitely will come back!
Unbelievable service and quality food. Would recommend to anyone looking to get a wonderful meal and experience for a great price.
Food fabulous as always. Nice ambience. Servers were a bit careless...kept giving the wrong meals to the wrong people.
Maitre'd and bartender were not masked. When addressed, maitre'd said it made him uncomfortable to wear one. Stayed away from us for the rest of the night. Had a burata dish, and foie gras. Foie gras was paired with some fruit, really excellent quality and texture. Burrata was unremarkable. Had another dish that I honestly don't recall.
Amazing food. Amazing service. Daniel and his staff are a class act I highly recommend anyone enjoy this restaurant.
Bad service. Food was ok
Meal type
Amazing!!!!!!! Could not have had a better fine dining experience! From the appetizers to the dessert, myself and my wife thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and strongly recommend Grappa to anyone! We are still raving about the veal chop and seafood plater!
We had our office Christmas party here. The quality of the food was great and the service was top notch. The staff were all friendly and engaging. I will definitely have to come back and try more of their menu.
Absolutely great experience. Parking although is a bit tough, although if you go after 6PM parking is free on the street. We went for Winterlicious recently and the food was great. Service was very good, and the waiters were always very attentive and always made sure the water and or your food was good. Portions were great. I had the Eggplant Parmesan, Pork Tenderloin and Creme Brûlée. Everything was great, tasted awesome and the portions were very generous. Husband had the Shank and thought it was yummy. Overall we give this place 9/10 and the pricing was amazing considering its only $25.00 for dinner for a three course. Def will be back.
Even with the curbside pick, these guys find a way to make you feel like family. Food is incredible and at a reasonable cost. Daniel, you and your team continue to out do yourselves ????????????
10/10 Phenomenal. Authentic Italian. Pasta was great, meat was very tender. Great service and great experience for the whole family!
Calamary and stake was outstanding!! Service is excellent!!! Deff needs to be checked out
We are a party of seven. The ambiance is very relaxing, decor is simple but appealing. The waiters are so nice and attentive, i must say that the service/waiters and the owner are very friendly. The food is delicious and big servings. Some of us had the fix price menu and some preferred a la carte. The bottle of wine is priced well not too expensive. All in all, we were all happy, satisfied. I will definitely go back and recommend to all my friends. Thank you Grappa for making our family early Christmas dinner special!
Pretentious service, limited menu, just too pricey for what's offered.
(Translated) Great food (Original) אוכל מעולה
I absolutely love this restaurant. The service is excellent, every bite is heaven and makes you want to kiss whoever is cooking it. They also take care of the community and did not make covid stop them from giving the people what they want. Thanks for everything!
Private party. Good food and service
Food was amazing! Tasted fresh will surely revisit!
Delicious food, but to loud music and freezing cold.
Excelent service, elegant & warmth atmosphere, delicious Italian food. Perfect for a date night!
Great food. Great service and people. Going to be back to try the other dishes. The lamb rack was perrrrrfect! Mmmmmm...
Worse service that I have experienced. My family had raved about the food & service being fantastic and became regular repeat customers, so we decided to have my mother's bday there. We had a party of 18. It took a total of 4.5 hours from our arrival to our departure. The appetizers were amazing and I would give that 5 stars. Our main course came 1.5 hours later overcooked. 3 of us at our end of the table ordered beef tenderloin medium rare and it was overcooked to medium well. Other entrees were served without cutlery not being replaced after the appetizers. Desert arrived over an hour later and my cappuccino came 40 minutes after my dessert. To top it off, I brought my cappuccino back to either the manager or owner who was behind the bar and I said that it is cold, not even lukewarm. His reply was " cappuccinos are supposed to be cold, lattes are hot" Really?!!!! It only took 5 minutes to replace my cappuccino, which came back correct. Why did it take 40 minutes for the first one. The last decaf coffee arrived 10 minutes after mine and ended up as a decaf latte. My uncle drank it anyway, because he didn't want to wait for another 50 minutes again. At least 5 other drinks were missed with dessert and had to be reordered. I highly do not recommend for a large group due to the lack of detail and poor service received. My whole family was very disappointed and will most likely not be returning as regular repeat customers.
Couldn't believe how good the food was.
Great food and service
Always an excellent experience! Delicious cuisine served by friendly, courteous staff. We have frequented Grappa Restaurant for family celebrations and dinner out with friends. Our experience is always very enjoyable in that it is a leisurely dinner. The food is served at a pace that allows you to savour, enjoy and chat with your company. Food and wine selections are wonderful. Dinner at Grappa is not just a meal but an evening to enjoy. Further, the wait staff makes certain guests enjoy their visit to Grappa.
I stumbled upon this restaurant when I was looking for a new Italian restaurant to try and this was pretty close to me. Ordered my first dish about a month ago and it was delicious. So good that I ended up ordering from Grappa again the very next day! The gentleman that I spoke to over the phone on both occasions and delivered the food and payments had great customer service skills. I believe he's the owner. It was a very nice treat to be able to try their tiramisu which was also tasty. I'd like to thank the gentleman for the excellent service. I definitely will come back again to try more dishes on the menu.
Great food, great service
The trio of exceptional service, food and ambience made for a great dinner. David the owner and our server was very hospitable and extremely attentive to our needs throughout our dinner. The fish & pasta dishes were excellent and a highlight dish was the Polipo Salad appetizer - delicious! If you’re dining in Etobicoke, highly recommend.
Fine Italian dinning at its best. Its worth a visit to west end to enjoy some amazing dishes, comfortable ambience, and stellar service. No pizza here, only fresh, authntic, and perfectly prepared meals paired with comprehensive and imported wines from around the world. Probably the best grilled calamari and fettucini in the city. The maple Salamon and Penna Cotta can compete with the best. Grappa is the perfect place to savour real fine delicious Italian cuisine. It is also perfect for special occasions or entertaining friends and family. A rarity in a city full of boutique pizzerias.
Came in a few days ago with some good friends for a dinner. Food and service both outstanding. The Carpaccio - amazing, the lamb was cooked perfectly! Thank you!
Great atmosphere with amazing food, friendly staff and great value.
The best fine dining Italian restaurant in town. Highly recommend the Chilean seabass and lamb rack.
Had the best meal!!! Service was impeccable . Fresh good served at it's best. The owner himself is at your service. Atmosphere is wonderful and price point is amazing
Staff were attentive. It was a busy night with screaming babies all night. Our food came out very slowly and had to be sent back because it wasn't hot. Probably would go back. I think we just hit a bad night. Good wine list.
This place is a hidden gem!! Absolutely in love with place 20/10 anyday clean and great ambiance
We were very impressed and will be setting this place as our first choice going forward when going out for evening dinners, food and staff a 10+ thanks for the experience, was like sitting in our own dining room
I have been around the world, tasted lots of good food around. This restaurant reminded me of the elite fine dining, for a good budget meal course. If well recommended to people who love food
My friend and I ordered the sea bass.. Must have been an off night. Fish was luke warm. Service was very slow and it was not overly busy. Mistake was not sending it back. But at $40. It should be hot. No excuse.
Very good food, great service. Had the veal chop and it was cooked perfectly....the grilled octopus is a must have. This chef knows what there doing. Thanks for a great evening daniel.
Excellent Italian restaurant. Been coming here for over 10 years. Food is delicious and priced right.
Great food accompanied by equivalent service
Calamari delicious. Service excellent
This is my favourite restaurant in Etobicoke. They are very accommodating in regards to allergies and their food is always delicious. What truly shines about this restaurant though is the attentive, warm service.
Very disappointed! Let's start from walking in. Made reservations for 8pm, and was greeted by who may have been the manager. Another couple walks in about 5 mins AFTER us asking if tables were available, said "manager" walks up, kisses them on the cheek and seats them at a table as we remained standing there. Should have been my first clue. The appetizer funghi salad was outstanding ...and it went downhill from there. Ordered the veal scaloppini and mushroom risotto, when it arrived, the visual appeal on plating the food was worse than the taste. It looked like blobs of food (pic attached). Not something I would expect in a fine dining restaurant. Risotto was extremely undercooked (crunchy). The veal had gravy on it (terrible) when the menu said "jus", not sure they knew the difference. The vegetables undercooked. Bad all around. No one came to check in on the table, ask us how the meal was going, refill our water/drinks. Did I mention there is probably only about 25 tables In the whole place. Terrible service. When the server FINALLY came to the table (20'mins later and after we were done eating) we mentioned the rice issue and she offered "to have them cook the rice for longer". I said "I didn't think they could do that", her response "it's risotto, yes you can". I kindly declined. SMH. No manager came over, didn't offer a dessert/coffee, didn't fix the bill. Nothing. The place has a sense of arrogance and was not worth it at all! Decor was nothing spectacular and the lights in the entrance kept dimming in/out, which must of been annoying for those seated in that area. Parking is a challenge. Would not recommend Good luck!
Everything was absolutely amazing from the atmosphere, to the service, to the amazing fresh food. When you sit down you get house made hummus and warm bread, which was by far the best hummus I've ever had! I had the daily roasted red pepper soup and gnocchi and I couldnt have asked for a better meal. My partner had the peppercorn steak and also loved it. We will definitely go back!
Love this place - the gnocchi & creme brule are amazing
Service outstanding!
Love Grappa! Hands down one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Always great food and service when we go. It's a family owned business and they take such pride in their work. I would recommend Grappa to everyone!
I was very surprised at how great this restaurant was for a group event that my wife had organized. We had a party of 35 and 5 kids for a baptism. The communication between us and the resturant before hand was great. David being our contact. Once arriving the staff was very courteous and attentive to all of our guests needs. The house wines were very good as we had a few wine snob attending. The food: There were many options and they were all hits. All of our guest were impressed. The ambiance was great and we had the whole right side of the resturant in a private area. I look forward now to visiting for a proper dinner for two as we were really impressed. Thanks Grappa
Excellent service and excellent food (quality was top)
Dinner
Great food and fantastic service. A must visit if you are looking for a wonderful fine dining experience.
Fantastic food, great service and all the staff are friendly!!
Good food, nice atmosphere
This restaurant has fabulous food and great ambiance. I love the fact that you can make a reservation and they honor it, even on weekends. I would highly recommend this restaurant. It has become one of my favorite italian restaurants in Etobicoke. The wine list is also quite exceptional. I love the fact that they display their selections of wine on a table in the front hallway of the restaurant which allows you to peruse them yourself. Great service and great food. Try it! You won't be disappointed.
Graet service, nice food. Maybe a touch expensive
Clean Friendly Staff Private dining available nice place to have a Birthday dinner
This has been my 7th or 8th visit at grappa with my fiancé, and we cannot get enough. My Fiancé cannot order gnocchi a la formaggi anywhere else because it cannot compare. Daniel is one of the servers and makes us feel like one of the family. If there was an option for 6 stars I would select that too!
It as my first time there definitely go again great service great food
This is Grappa's new location which is spacious and brighter than the old one. A pleasing and delicious menu as always! I apologized for not taking a photo.
We have been dining here for over 20 yrs fr their original location in Little Italy to its current location. Their dishes are consistently superbly delicious. A well run business by a family who loves what they do. Their staff are outstanding, in fact the same fr 20 yrs ago of course newer faces are here too. Hope newcomers enjoy this place as much as we continue to do.
Searched online for local restaurants, this one had really good reviews, and the food totally deserves 5 stars. To give you an idea, the bread comes in 5 varieties, each had their own unique taste, coupled with not just your ordinary butter, instead you'll get their own special paste. Had Calamari as our starter. Turns out their calamari is NOT deep fried!! Very pleasant surprise there. Non-breaded calamari is pan seared (I think), combined with a nicely done bruschetta, its delicious. I had a seafood risotto, and my girlfriend had a minced meat pasta. Very good main course with filling portion. We shared a Tiramisu as dessert, again, really really good. The only flaw is the waitress. (I think she might be one of the owners) She's pretty nice along the way, but wasn't very engaging to us. So for service I would give a 4/5. Overall very pleasant experience, great food with very reasonable price. Our bill for 2 was $57 after tax. We didn't order any wine. Will definitely go back again
Great atmosphere, service, and food!!
Spectacular Food Good service We really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back
The best experience off all !!!
Great place n enjoyed everything. Just to suggest small thing if wine is ordered with main pls take the order don't leave it on for later as it happened n we waited for wine after main was served. But overall it was nice dinner n atmosphere, thx. Great place .
Very nice restaurant. Good was also good
Fine dining food is elegant and tasty ???? Grappa for the win
This is an amazing Italian restaurant. Have been many times and have never been disappointed. Service is exceptionally good.
Great Italian restaurant with excellent tasting dishes. We ordered the Veal & Shrimp with Fettuccini Alfredo and a Bolognese. Pasta was al dente and veal was incredible. Shrimp although great had the intestinal thread still in and not removed; nonetheless tasty. Overall a pleasant experience with truly friendly staff. Note, this place may not be suitable for children.
Great experience! Good food and good wine!
Absolutely my favourite Italian fine dining in the GTA. All dishes are 10/10, the chilean sea bass is a MUST have. The service is outstanding. Highly recommend!
Fabulous service. Food is stellar
nice place
Had a fabulous dinner for our date night at Grappa. The restaurant has a fine casual decor with proper lighting that wasn’t too bright and even while fully occupied, were were able to have a normal conversation. Had a fabulous dinner for our date night at Garppa. The grilled calamari was tender and nicely glazed with a slightly sweet sauce. The veal scaloppini with lemon butter sauce was tender and a nice portion of vegetables. The fillet mignonette was perfectly cooked as requested and was melt in your mouth tender, again with an appreciated generous portion of vegetables. Delectable Tiramisu was wonderful with a cappuccino. The Masi Rosso went very nicely with the meal. Service was excellent from Daniel and owner David took the time to speak to all the guests in the full dining room.
Great food and even better service.
David and his staff are always welcoming and the food is outstanding. The wine list has a variety of great pairing choices.
I went to this restaurant today for my dad's birthday with a reservation for 5pm. There was a big party before and we were left in the front lobby for 30 minutes waiting and I had to go inside and ask someone why no one had tended to us for such a long time. The girl responded "Can't you see that it is busy! We'll get to you!" in mid-stride and scampered off. After another five minutes we were seated at a table for four, which was far too small for our party of six. The humus they served was dried out like it had been sitting for hours and the bread had gone stale. As explained by our waitress, it was made for the group before at 1 pm and is usually warm. OK. Duly-noted. The appetizers, mains and desserts were all great. After the screaming children (it was like a high-end Chuck-e-Cheese for 45 mins with kids running around untended) left, the atmosphere was nice as well. I've never been treated so poorly at a restaurant by its staff. And we never once got an apology. Maybe what my group experienced was a one-off bad day, but I doubt I'll be coming back.
Delicious food great service.
The food and service is incredible ! Definitely would recommend for a great dining experience with family and friends
Where do I start ! This place is all around fantastic. Service was above and beyond so polite and genuine, food was SO fresh and flavourful and atmosphere was classy, up scale and clean.
Amazing first time experience! The food is excellent and the service was exceptional! We had food and service that we all have not experienced in a very long time. Everything we ordered was prepared and presented with such care and attention to detail. We were impressed and delighted with everything..very incredible food! ...So satisfying and extremely delicious! The server and all staff are welcoming, friendly, and attentive in every way possible. Water is continuously being refilled, the wine is always gracefully being poured. Our server along with staff are providing constant care in making sure we are being well taken care of from beginning to end. Very memorable and enjoyable experience!
Spectacular food and service, will be back soon!
Amazing food and service! Waiters are very attentive and the food is always deleicous. A great family orientated restaurant on the Queenwsay always making you feel like your right at home. Grappa restaurant is one of the best in the city.
Thank you Daniel for having us last night. The food was incredible and Roberts service was impeccable. We enjoyed every minute we were there and look forward to coming back again soon. The kids liked it too!!
One of our favorite Italian restaurants in Toronto. It's a local neighborhood gem for us. All dishes are made fresh to order. And they're very accommodating. We've literally never anything we don't love. The smoked chicken and smoked bacon in cream sauce is probably our favorite thing. Although the sea bass is also awesome. Staff is incredibly friendly and make it an amazing experience even if you bring your kids on a busy weekend night.
Excellent food and service. Interesting and varied menu. Prices reflect the quality but they are not unreasonable.
Amazing food! My wife had the Sea bass and I had the Veal Chop, both done to perfection! Great taste, seasoned just right. Accompanied with the right amount of sides, the kitchen staff never fails to disappoint. The home made bread and home made hummus are both delicious. The wine selection is excellent, our waiter Daniel always picks the perfect bottle to accompany our dinner. He knows his wines! The Waiters/busboys are all very nice, filling up our water and checking the tables to see if everything is okay. Very attentive, even when it is a busy night. We have been eating at Grappa for years and we have recommended Grappa to our friends, they have had only good things to say! Pricing is fair, great dollar value for your food. Definitely worth the drive to Etobicoke.
Great ambience. Great staff
Really good food, impeccable service. The bread with the hummus was fabulous, pasta dishes were amazing. Daniel was very attentive and made us feel welcome. We'll definitely be coming back.
Great food, atmosphere, and staff. Highly recommended!
We love grappa!! The food is always delicious and the service is some of the best I’ve experienced in a while. The wine list has a great selection. It’s definitely our go-to date spot.
Best pasta in Etobicoke and great service!
The food here is fantastic! Every time I go I have a great experience. Service is friendly and efficient. Great, varied wine list!
Wine section was wonderful. I loved the bread on the table
Outstanding quality and service. I looked forward to trying other items on the menu .
Dine in
Had a great plate of pierogies was well priced and a great meal
Etobicoke's Best Kept Secret! On the recommendation of neighbors, we celebrated our anniversary there last evening. Beautiful atmosphere and ambience. Extensive menu with 3 coursefixed price option plus daily features. Extensive wine selection..Attentive, friendly staff. Who could ask for anything more? More we got! A complimentary d elicious hummus dip ( made in house) accompanied by their jalepeno cornbread for dipping. Apps were phenomenal, the escargots served in tasty white wine cream sauce, the Caesar salad outstanding. Mains were off the chart! I had the seafood pasta Crispo, cooked perfectly with such an assortment of seafood. You know the chef is on his game when the pasta is Al dente,and shrimp, scallops and callamari are
TERRIBLE!! WE ORDERED OUR FOOD AT 9:38PM AND ONLY GOT IT AT 11:03PM. MY PASTA WAS NOT PROPERLY COOKED. WHEN I TOLD ONE OF THE SERVERS, HE WAS RUDE ABOUT IT. THEN INSTEAD OF PACKING MY FOOD, HE THROUGH MY FOOD AND MY PARTNERS FOOD OUT AS WELL. THE SERVER ROBERT WAS NICER, HELPED US BETTER AND GAVE US FREE DESERTS. HOWEVER, IT STILL DOES NOT MAKE UP FOR THE ONE AND A HALF HOURS THAT I WAITED. PLEASE TAKE THIS AS CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND DO NOT RUIN SOMEONE ELSE’S VALENTINE’S DAY NEXT YEAR.
Cozy warm atmosphere, very tasty plates
Try the thick cut veal chop. It is done to perfection.
Great food and service. Would definately recommend it. Only thing is mt friend wanted armaniac to end the meal and they didn't have it.
Great food and excellent service!
This is a great restaurant for any occasion. The food is always fresh and delicious and if you're craving great pasta, this is a restaurant for you. I have to say my favourite is the complimentary spicy corn bread which is a specialty of the chef! Grappa is owned by two young men who are very personable and the service is top notch. Highly recommended!
Excellent food and service. We had pasta and sea bass dishes. Also fried calamari. All none less than excellent During this pandemic I only wondered why the guy at reception didn’t wear ( or have one at all) a mask. Didn’t get to ask him but this is likely only reason why I may not come back these days
Food was really good and the service was very friendly
Exceptional service. The waiters very friendly and the food. Well done, prepared with love. I had the lobster tail . I loved the food and its authenticity. Will I visit again , most definitely!
Me and my Cara Linda always have a wonderful experience when we come to Grappa. From being greeted with attention and always seated at the perfect table, Daniel the owner, Chef and staff are absolutely fantastic. This evenings dinner was the Seabass with pasta and vegetables cooked to absolute perfection. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a beautiful evening and great food. If I could rate them 10/10 I would.
My wife and I both had a fantastic meal and will definitely be back. The salmon is amazing!
What an amazing night with 5+ stars service! I can't think of another restaurant that goes out of their way to make you feel like family as Grappa did Friday night. We started with a beautiful Syrah by the glass and moved into a 2006 Amore David had recommended and it was right on point. The wine list had great options at every price point. We had the Winterlicious menu and I have to say it was soo good we can't wait to go back! Everything just tasted amazing: the bread, chicken, venison, and especially the creme brulee...I can still hear the crunch of the sugar. Ingredients were fresh, portions were a good size and very affordable. This is a hidden gem. You won't be disappointed!
The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Michael was very thoughtful and kind. One of my favourite places!
Great atmosphere. Great service.
Grappa was fantastic. Robert was great. He took care of every detail for our group. The grilled calamari was excellent and the veal chops tender and tasty. It is highly recommended.
Amazing food! I’m in love with their Gnocchi and I have yet to find a restaurant that makes a better one. The service is exceptional and Daniel makes us feel like family. Grappa is definitely my new favorite restaurant!
Not a bad place
Amazing, service, food and atmosphere.
Rate and review Grappa Restaurant, 690 The Queensway, Etobicoke, ON You have done it again! OUTSTANDING meal. Delicious tender Beef Carpaccio, steak cooked to perfection, salmon flaky and tasty. Saturday night and this place is hopping and yet, service with a smile..impeccable!! Kudos to David, Domenic and Daniel, thank you for taking such good care of us. Can't wait to come back!! ????
The food and service was excellent. Went there for my department Christmas dinner.
My husband and I visited Grappa on the Queensway when we were in Toronto for a wedding last week. We were blown away with how everything was amazing. Everything. The atmosphere was relaxing and classy, the decor was lovely, the waiters were exceptionally polite and knowledgeable, and the food was INCREDIBLE! I ordered the Fettuccine with angus beef and tiger shrimp; the white wine sauce was TO DIE FOR. If I could make sauce like that I would eat pasta for the rest of my life. We also ordered a Californian ZInfandel wine; PERFECT. You can tell that this restaurant is family run and that it is their baby. They put so much love and attention into everything they do and they take such good care of every guest. On top of ALL of this, the prices are very reasonable. The average price for a main course was $20 and it is a LOT of food and VERY high quality. If you're thinking of going to the Keg, go to Grappa instead. We would make it a monthly visit at the least if we lived in Toronto.
Tonight we dined at Grappa and have nearly never had as amazing experience as we did tonight. They were so very accommodating - when adjusting the lighting to set the ambiance, we kindly asked that they leave it well lit in our area. The service was very efficient and prompt. Not to mention, the kitchen accommodated our large party of 14 with no errors and with everyone getting exactly what they ordered. Our serve was extremely polite. Our glasses were never less than full and the food was delicious!! Thank you. We will be back
Delicious Italian food. The lamb gnocchi was delightful.
Great food, good service, friendly staff.
We came to Grappa for a birthday party. The food was great. For few hours I felt like I came to Europe
Server gave us free limoncello
We have hosted a few family functions at Grappa, and I have had the pleasure of dining there with my wife for a quiet dinner and each time we visit we are blown away by the food, service and atmosphere. David and his team are consummate professionals, and the food is beyond outstanding. We are already looking forward to our next visit.
Amazing food and amazing staff, would recommend for any occasion
Had a dinner there for my grandfathers 90th birthday, in which they opened early just for our party of 20. The service was amazing, very polite, witty and prompt to cater to anything you may need. All the courses were cooked perfectly, including steak and giant veal chops. Prices were quite balanced and fair. Highly recommended.
The food was amazing.We had the sea bass and lamb chops,so good..The Staffs was very friendly and polite. Best Italian food I have had in a long time.Definitely recommending this place,try it once and you will keep going back.
One of the best in etobicoke good food service is good well price great wine selection
Great food very nice place , family business so your well taken care of .
Great food and atmosphere. Take a loved one there for sure. Classic
We've been visiting this restaurant for the past 5 years with family and just as a couple; we've always had good experiences up until our last visit on Feb 14. I understand that it is a busy evening but it doesn't excuse our food being late up to 1.5 hours after our appetizers and the waiter being extremely rude to us. Not once were we asked how our meal was, and the only time he had spent more than 5 seconds longer with us was when we were paying for our bill. The owners have remained the same, but the wait staff have changed, too many bus boys and not enough servers, waiters, and clearly the back of the house (cooks) was not adequate enough as a lot of customers' meals were late. They've also raised their prices significantly and changed the menu. Grappa will no longer be our top choice of visit anymore, I do recommend visiting Luci just half a block east.
My parents and I went to Grappa last night based on the good reviews. Reviewers were not mistaken. All three of us had absolutely fabulous meals, and my Mom never enjoys eating out but loved everything. I had the octopus starter and a special of foie gras ravioli, which was hands down delicious. Our server, Robert, was the perfect combo of attentive but not overbearing. The service was comprable to some Michelon starred restaurants I've been to. On top of all that, the owner even came over to our table to make sure everything was ok. My husband couldn't make it but we got a takeout dish for him, and Robert made sure it was perfectly timed to arrive warm with our bill. He even sent us home with bread for my hubby. He absolutely loved his meal at home (the lamb gnocchi). No complaints, will definitely return.
Amazing food and superb service top notch place
Amazing staff and even better food. Great for family outings and birthdays. Favourite restaurant in Etobicoke.
Ambiance, food and service staff were all great
(Translated) I recommend to anyone who wants to eat well and spend an elegant evening in a classy restaurant to come to Grappa. The food is exceptional and the wine list is appreciable. Absolutely recommended (Original) Consiglio a chiunque avesse voglia di mangiare bene e passare una serata elegante in un ristorante di classe, di venire da Grappa. Il cibo e' eccezionale e la lista dei vini apprezzabile. Assolutamente raccomandato
Always happy with the quality of the food and the service. David and Daniel are always attentive and have a focus on providing their customers with a great experience!
The best italian food I’ve tasted in the GTA so far and I tried my share.. the salmon was cooked to perfection, the medium rare meat was so juicy and the risotto? No words. I would definitely come back and recommend this place.
Wonderful experience. It was not very busy when my girlfriend and I visited. Prices were fair, food was beyond my expectations, service was very prompt and attentive, atmosphere felt like it was a family - run business (as it is) but it was definitely an upscale place. Host was entertaining and stopped by a few tables to chat. I ordered the salmon with risotto, she ordered pasta and we finished with a creme brulee and panna cotta. I recommend all of these dishes. Very filling. Superb!
Great Food as usual.... Very Nice ambiance....Great Service
The food is delicious! I was here with 4 other friends and we all ordered different mains and everyone enjoyed their meal. The chilean seabass was cooked perfectly. I wasn’t pleased with the service - We waited a long time for our food to arrive and our server was rushed and not friendly.
Delicious food, friendly and helpful service. Warm surroundings, tastefully decorated. Generous portions. And did I say delicious? Left feeling stuffed and happy. Will certainly be back.
My rating is based mostly on the exceptional service by Dominic (sp?) who was very friendly and set a great vibe for the evening. It was a not a busy night (only 5 or 6 tables) so we got a lot of attention. The carpaccio and the penne abruzzo met my expectations (didn't exceed though). Best food was the crusty bread and super garlic-y hummus. Minor issue was based on the lighting angles my head would cast a very dark shadow over my plate. Was difficult to see my meal.
Delicious and generously portioned food, a classy ambience, and professional, friendly service. I recommend the grilled octopus appetizer to start, it was cooked to perfection which shows skill because octopus is tough to cook! The mushroom risotto and salmon entree were highlights as well. They give you corn bread and bread at the start, but to be honest I found the corn bread a bit too salty. The hummus was delicious but I also wish there was just plain butter or house made cultured butter to accompany the bread. Overall I'd definitely come here again!
Everything was amazing. Great family style slow coursed meal.
David has replaced our previously favourite fine dining Italian restaurant of 40 years with not only the quality of the food but his personable friendly and caring attitude
Great take on traditional Italian staples. Really enjoyed the service and attention to detail here. We were seated at a bit of an odd table that was different from the rest of the restaurant in the further back corner. It was a bit dark and the table and chairs were awkwardly positioned. But the service and food more than made up for it. Delicious homemade bread started the meal, and my dish of a sea bass was perfectly cooked and paired with seasonal vegetables. My companions had wine that the waiter suggested and they enjoyed that pairing immensely. I don’t often eat Italian, but I would definitely eat here again.
Our first time to visit Grappa Ristorante on The Queensway. We were blown away with every part of our experience from the time we set foot inside to the moment we left. The welcome we received from this very friendly family run restaurant will have you returning without question. The food was beyond excellent and the price was really good. A real gem for sure. We look forward to returning with family and friends. A big thank you to the owner David and all of the staff. A great job by the chefs.
My wife and I came here for her birthday and we both loved it. Starting with the service - Daniel was outstanding. The food was some of the best Italian food we’ve had in Toronto, and we spent about 2 weeks in Italy back in September. We would definitely come back again. It’s probably our favourite Italian restaurant in all of the GTA.
A Queensway staple. The renovation was done very tastefully. Perfect for events. Great service, food, and wine selection. Longtime family-run restaurant. Grappa is like a fine wine, it only gets better with time. Desserts are a must. The owner Daniel is a true gentlemen
Best Italian food in the area. Excellent service! We had really good time here.
Fantastic food and Service. Recommend to everyone.
Exellent Italian cuisine and service = Grappa
We tried Grappa takeout for the first time on Friday and it was amazing! I was a little worried about portion size but that should not have been a concern at all! Will be ordering again for a special treat during lockdown.
A great place to dine or even have just a dessert
My family took me here for my birthday and while the food was delicious, it took way too long to get to us. We arrived around 7:30 and were not served until almost 10. The staff were friendly enough but a couple of free desserts didn't make that very long wait worth it. My family will likely not return to this restaurant.
Food was amazing and big portions staff was super nice
It was rented out to a family member for a baby shower and the service and food was excellent.
Amazing food great customer service Newly renovated bar and updated seating area Warm ambience and the paintings are beautiful Follow @bambootattoo and @anthriller_montana
comfortable joint with a laidback staff, as attentive to the fussy eight-year-old as the gourmet professor.
Woderfull food and great, friendly serice
Went to Grappa for the first time last night. We normally go downtown for Italian and were pleasantly surprised at the food and service offered. Had the veal chop and fettuccini creolo, with Caesar salad to start. All were amazing. Attentive service, and nice atmosphere. Will definitely go again.
Service
Four of went here Friday night and it exceeded our expectations. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. A very classy yet cozy feel. Will be back!
Food was absolutely amazing! Nothing short of perfection! Unfortunately, the server forgot about our table and we did not get water or checked up on.
bad service, arrogant staff, food was just average
Very good
If you are looking for excellent food, outstanding service and decent prices (specially on wine) this is the best option available. Try the seafood platter you won't regret it! Also family oriented and great for events. Highly recommended.
Amazing as always
A wonderful evening, with a dear friend, delicious food, friendly and attentive service. Highly recommended. Kudos to Nuno and Daniel for looking after us so well.
Great food service atmosphere.had my daughter's wedding & reception at restaurant in November 2017 and have been back for dinner since
Abosutly Taste of a true talented chef - that is quealized by the service !!!!
Worthy of more than 5 stars. The Food and Service absolutely phenomenal. I would say the service was the best I’ve experienced in the entire city. Very courteous, professional, knowledgeable. The server made recommendations and all exceeded our expectations. Credit to our server Nuno, excellent service. Food was also very good quality. The beef Carpaccio and Shrimp & Scallop appetizers were so good and the sauce very tasty. Entrees we tried Beef Tenderloin, the duck and the Lobster pasta. All, very good quality and great taste. Will definitely be back to this place and recommend to all.
Worse experience in dining I ever had, try to contact the manager, got bypass by a staff so expensive for such a bad experience, food wasn't what we ordered, it was cold, waiter bluffing us all the way, lasting negative impression, such beautiful surrounds though, just wasted.
Amazing food and staff...check it out soon.
Excellent food and price is reasonable!
We have a gift certificate for Grappa gifted to us by my inlaws. We don’t live in the area and happened to be close by tonight. We called to try and order take out, assuming there would be no way we could get a table in the restaurant. They refused to take our order at 7pm and asked us to call back in an hour and a half when they were less busy. Very disappointed with this experience.
This place is the place to be. Very cozi and quant. The food is great and the price is very reasonable. It's a must in South etobicoke.
Prices are reasonable for a fancier restraunt. The food and portions are quite good to.
Excellent food - attentive service
Was just there for June 19th, 2016 for my mothers birthday and fathers day celebration. The atmosphere of the restaurant was excellent. Servers were attentive and good with checking in on how the meal was going. Ordered off of the grappalious menu they had. Personally I had the venison which was excellent, and my tiramisu was great as well. The house red wine paired really well with the food. The owner even went one step further as he did bring out a few of the dishes and de-boned the sardines for the salad. The experience was excellent.
Food is always consistently fresh and cooked just right. Daniel and his father treat everyone like VIP with an unforgettable experience.
This is a wonderful restaurant and you will not be disappointed. The food is fabulous - fresh, flavourful and well presented. The service is unbelievably attentive and super friendly. This is my new favourite restaurant in Toronto.
Grappa does not disappoint time and time again! Food and service is always spot on. Incredible fine dining experience.
A wonderful place to spend time with family and friends! Food is amazing! Staff and service are outstanding! Our servers Daniel and Rob made us feel like we were part of the Grappa family.
Love it, great local food. Fast and friendly service. Great atmosphere too!
True gem of a place - amazing service, Daniel and Dominic deliver an exquisitely refined level of service as attentive servers. The place has a cozy-chic vibe type of surrounding - feels great to dine in. And then the dishes here are phenomenal - flavour profiles are amazing and excellent quality ingredients being used. All around a stellar place in Etobicoke - almost feels like a restaurant that belongs in the city downtown. Great job here by staff and team.
Amazing food and customer service. The vibe is very upscale, elegant, modern and the new renovations look phenomenal. Best restaurant in Etobicoke by far!
A group of us went to Grappa last month, my first time. We came toward the later side of the dinner window but we never felt rushed. On the contrary, excellent service, very attentive and we all enjoyed our meals - steak was great! Very authentic family spot. Thanks for a great experience, will definitely visit again.
Best restaurant out there! Wine is better than wine on my France trip!
First time visit, great food and service. Definitely going back!
The food was very good, as was the wait service. HOWEVER, the fact that I had to remove half a tooth pick from my mouth whilst eating a caesar salad was not good at all. The situation, which may well have ended badly had I bitten down on the tooth pick, was handled poorly. I got a half hearted apology from the waiter. This situation should have brought the owner! Never again!
Lovely place romantic great waiters friendly owner best cremebrulee
Dining at Grappa is always a true pleasure! David and his team make sure that you are happy and delightfully well fed. Consistency is key.. For more than 20 years, the cuisine has been perfectly cooked and plated with the finest and freshest ingredients. When you walk in, you are treated like an old friend! Menu is extensive, with something for everyone. Worth every star on the ratings. Go and enjoy a memorable evening!
Dined here sat Oct 23.. went on a whim and ended up having a great experience.. food and service where both 5*.. I had scallops, beef side ribs and they brought me both a piece of carrot cake and chocolate lava cake which were amazing.. this definitely is gonna be on my regular rotation from now on.. I was very impressed with Daniel and sue who took great care of me given that I was dining alone at the bar. Check it out.. you won’t be dissatisfied Returned her on nov 5 and just had to include that dining experience as well.. went for three different dishes (burrata w tomatoes and prosciutto, pasta w bolognese and crème brûlée cheesecake). I make my own bolognese and have ordered in many restaurants but the sauce at grappa was the best I have ever tasted.. the app and desert were also too notch. Prices are what you would expect for a 5* meal so don’t go here if you don’t want 5* quality
Great food. Great staff. Great wine collection. I wasn't to crazy about the bread they had with zucchini in it (I'm guessing if it's zucchini) but my girlfriend liked it, so it was just a personal taste thing.
This is a fantastic restaurant. Their food is excellent. Portions are big for the price. It's not a large place but you don't feel like your sitting on top of eachother. It has a great ambiance. Service was very friendly. They just did renovations and it looks amazing. Will for sure be back.
This was such a wonderful experience. We loved the homemade hummus and fresh bread, followed by angus beef carpaccio with asiago, delicious. Our main dishes were flavourful and beautifully presented. The staff were amazing, too! I highly recommend this restaurant for a date night or a get together with family & friends. Save room for dessert! The homemade sorbet and tiramisu are not to be missed!
Bad service.. will never go again to that restaurant
Amazing food & professional and friendly staff ????????????
My spouse and I recently ate here for the first time. Food, service and value were all exceptional! Look forward to returning soon!
Authentic Italian food, excellent wine menu
Service is excellent and food is extraordinary.
Great Food, exceptional service.
Everything from the decor, food, service, wine was out standing. Went there for our anniversary and can not wait to go back. 5 stars all day long! Thank you again Grappa for an outstanding evening
I don't ever post reviews but this place deserves a special mention. Not only was the food absolutely delicious the staff were very courteous, attentive and the service was overall impeccable. Would definitely recommend to everyone as a delicious fine dining Italian experience.
Went here for a business lunch a while back. The food was good and was about average for what you might expect from an independent, authentic Italian restaurant might deliver. Prices were "average" which is to say I consider them slightly high as compared to momma preparing the same thing at home (so to speak) but certainly not out of line as you might encounter elsewhere.
Excellent service, beautiful restaurant and honors and respects people's mask exemptions. Places who follow the actual rules and respect customers get my bussiness. Will repeat.
Very good place to eat. I always enjoy visiting this place when I visit downtown Toronto
We came to grappa for my mom's birthday and it was the best service we have ever had. The food was absolutely amazing, the staff is extremely nice and respectful, the restaurant itself is beautiful, and the owner is a very funny. We strongly recommend this restaurant you will not be disappointed.
Really unfortunate, I had high hopes for this spot but my lobster tail and shrimp pasta featured tough, dry lobster and shrimp.
Nice ambiance....it was super full, perhaps the food wasn't as exquisite as we had hoped. My salmon was great, my husband's gnocchi not so much.
Amazing food. Great service. Gnocchi is the best in the town
The beef carpaccio and the salmon were unbelievable. I think this may have been the best salmon I have ever had.
Amazing food. Huge portions and staff was beyond tentative
Amazing Rigatoni and Calamari
First time here. Excellent service - from booking a reservation right through to leaving the restaurant. We felt welcome and were very well taken care of. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and they accommodated very graciously to my son.
Excellent food and service!!
Great food and service.
