He enjoys the open kitchen he can chat with guests as he works. He never tires of hearing "It smells so good in here!" As a marathoner, he is living proof that that you can eat Italian and be healthy. In fact, one of his signature dishes, "Fettucine Paolo" was featured in Runner's World magazine. "It's one of the dishes I developed, it has no cream in it, no butter." It's a delicious pasta dish that utilizes olive oil, garlic, chicken stock, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, and chicken. So whether it's bruschetta, cioppino, pizza, or spaghetti and meatballs, Paul thanks each of you for choosing to dine here.

    We had an amazing experience at Grappa for Thanksgiving! The food was outstanding, and everything was beautifully presented. Sarah provided exceptional service, making our first time dining out for the holiday truly special. It was a wonderful atmosphere, and we couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate. Highly recommend it! Thank you, Grappa 🦃
