and I was not disappointed. I wasn't thrilled about it being in a strip mall, but, as another reviewer said, you can't tell once you're inside. Lovely decor, charming staff. We had a calamari appetizer which came with a tzatziki sauce. The calamari were very tasty even without the sauce. I had the sea scallops with risotto. My husband had... More

Our experience here was great. The veal and fig dish was excellently presented and only outdone by the veal with roasted peppers and amaretto cream. Unique and delicious both of them. Prices are not high end but close. The wine list superb. Wait staff was well informed and helpful in making choices. This is an adult atmosphere, white linen restaurant... More

For Italian food Grappa can't be beat. Although you may wonder how a store located a strip mall can receive 5 stars ...guess you have to be here ... Once inside, the corporate look of a strip mall disappears as you enter into the beautiful aesthetics of this restaurant. Nothing was compromised ...drinks were just right ..wine was perfect, food...

This restaurant was recommended by the person who checked us in to our hotel. We went in, and had a great meal. The service was excellent. They had a pianist playing up front - and the owner sang with him for a bit. All unobtrusive, but fun. The bruschetta was great (love bruschetta!) - and the rest of the meal... More

Great food, Very nice waiters. I asked if they had a military discount, waitress said she didn't know, asked the manager, he said they didn't have one, but he'd give us a free dessert! :) Great environment. Prices were very reasonable as well.

enjoyed a special 2 for $50 and the braised beef short rib was excellent as well as all accompaniments. Intimate setting with great service. Outdoor patio in the summer is nice. Always look forward to a return

First time here, very impressed with appearance, atmosphere, very richly appointed. Meals sounded very rich, if a little pricey. Several different dishes served to our party of 8 done the same way, with some unexpected twists - for saltimbocca, served with mashed potato. (Lots of what you'd think would be pasta was potato instead.) Several dishes looked so similar, waiter... More

From the moment we walked into Grappa 72, I wanted it to be special. Good friends told us the food and service was spot on....perfect. It was one of their favorite places in the Albany area. It failed to live up to their praises. The hostess seemed disorganized. Checking our coats was a challenge. Our waiter was professional. He knew... More

Partner and Ranger had two excellent dinners with live music in the background .From the server,to Tom and especially the chef... The nightly fish special and the veal 72 were all that one could ask on a night out.I should hide this great place so we could always get a reservation but the whole experience was A+.

We had a delicious salmon appetizer to start than my wife had a pork tenderloin while I went with vodka penne. We had a... More
