Celebrated at Grappino

Birthdays, anniversaries and long tables.

We had an End of Financial Year dinner at Grappinos. They were fantastic!

There were about 30 in our group and all dietary requirements were looked after.

Sam and the team did an amazing job at looking after us. We can can’t wait to come back.

Jess RGoogle Local Guide

We came here last night for our friends birthday and we couldn’t fault absolutely anything, the service, the decor, THE FOOD!! There were 8 of us, and not one of us had a bad meal, we honestly were blown away. This food is top notch, and Sam was absolutely brilliant too - he made our night!

We are definitely coming back, we are still talking about how good the food was today!

Cammie LloydGoogle reviewer

What a sensational restaurant. We were part of a rather large group to celebrate a friend's birthday. The service was excellent all night, non stop with wine, water and what ever you needed. Then the food. Very generous servings for the shared meals and it was all delicious. Definitely one to recommend.

david prydeGoogle Local Guide

A perfect evening. Took mum out for a birthday dinner here & we couldn’t have been happier.

Lovely meals for everyone the kids loved the tomato bruschetta & bolognaise. The adults all had different pasta dishes & we all had food envy even while refusing to share our own delicious meals.

Wonderful staff, attentive without being intrusive & very approachable.

Wouldn’t change a thing.

Thanks everyone.

We had a wonderful experience at Grappino Restaurant for Valentines Day!

Absolutely delicious set menu, their wine menu was a perfect accompaniment with a good range. Fabulous and attentive service, highly recommend the dining experience at this restaurant.

Candice DavisonGoogle Local Guide

This restaurant was recommended by good friends who go there often and we were celebrating my birthday.

The waiter was amazing, the food at a high standard and I do not normally ever eat Italian at a restaurant but I would 100% return. The decor was gorgeous, I felt like I was in Italy.
