Outstanding atmosphere, service, and food! My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Grappa '72. It was such an... enjoyable experience. We have dined here a number of times and it's always very good. However, the staffs' effort that eveningmade us feel very special and well cared for. Thank you! Read more
It was my first time coming here, I had heard great things and was excited to try it out. I made an online reservation for 7:30... the day prior for my partner's birthday dinner, but upon arriving, we were told we would have to wait at the bar and that ourtable was not ready yet. After over 10 minutes of waiting we were seated in the dining area and ordered our appetizer. Thecalamari came out quickly, but dry, like it had been sitting around for a while. This wasn?t a huge deal, and at least we hadthe marinara to save the flavor. Throughout the duration of our meal at least 5 different people were waiting on us, which isoutrageous to me/not good service to a customer expecting a relaxed, sit down dinner without wondering who our waitress was. AsI looked around the place I could see dust covering almost everything and crooked decorations on the walls. We spent about anhour and a half here, most of the time waiting on either our wine or the main courses to come out. Nearing the end of the meal,I told a waitress it was my partner?s birthday and kindly asked if the restaurant provided anything special for this. Withouteven the crack of a smile, the woman goes, ?I can get you a desert menu?, not even glancing at my partner and seeminglydismissing that question. Everyone here besides the bartender up front seemed some shade of miserable tonight and it really puta damper on this ?elegant? birthday dinner. First and last time for us, will NOT be going back again. Read more
I have been coming to Albany for work monthly for years. This is the only place I eat at while in town. I come here 5 days in a... row monthly for 8 years now! The food is excellent and the service is even better. Don?t think about it. Just get here. Youwon?t be disappointed. Read more
I went here for my anniversary with my boyfriend and the overall visit was very pleasant. Parking was a breeze because they had... a huge parking lot upon entering the establishment we were welcomed by live music. They took a little while to seat us but oncewe were seated the service was great. We both ordered the steak with mashed potatoes and spinach which was delightful. My steakwas a bit try but it was accompanied by a wonderful sauce. We liked that the menus they gave us were disposable in light of thepandemic and tables were distanced. We were given complementary glasses of wine as we were celebrating our anniversary. Thedesert was also delightful we had the cream Brulé and it was delicious. Read more
Since it was first time, there are WAY many more dishes we will have to experience b4 a 5 star rating (there is your grain of... salt). That being said. The appetizers were spot on - portobello, tomato, and goat cheese(!!) Phenomenal flavors, the entréeswere layer after layer of flavor, wine list and aperitif list were worth it and paired well. Just get to this place already, and get a reservation!! We will be back to try the rest of the menu! Read more

Tried making a reservation, but it was booked lucky there was a spot at the bar. Brian the bartender was a nice guy, and servedus quick. I would recommend this spot for anyone looking for genuine Italian food. Read more
RUN don?t walk to this establishment for your next meal or event. Just had my birthday dinner here - there were 10 of us and we... were probably a lot to handle ???? but I seriously can not say enough amazing things about this place. From the impeccableservice to the fabulous drinks & the absolutely phenomenal food. The ambiance is intimate yet welcoming, making it the perfectlocation for any type of gathering. Also SO reasonably priced, I questioned if we had the right bill at the end of our meal. Isometimes forget about this place because of the location, but I will definitely be a regular going forward. Shout out to Katie& all contributing staff (I?m sorry I forgot names bc my espresso martini was that good????) as well as the manager who was apleasure, like everyone else in the building. You guys really made my night special & unforgettable. I appreciate you all ?? Read more
