The Grape Italian Grill

Dinner for three and looking forward to trying out this Italian restaurant on our side of town. Walking in, the restaurant looked very promising and inviting. No tables were occupied at the time so we had the restaurant to ourselves. We started off with the bruschetta which left a lot to be desired. The bread was soggy and the mozzarella was low quality. Their prices made me think it would match the quality but I was sadly dissapointed. Next, we got the Greek salad and clam chowder. The Greek salad was missing onion and didn’t have feta cheese. The dressing honestly tasted like it was store bought and not even homemade. Plus the lettuce mix included in the salad was like those premade bags from the grocery store. You’re better off saving some bucks and going to Zinos a couple of blocks down for a delicious Greek salad. The clam chowder was not bad but it also wasn’t good. We were waiting for our main entrees at this point and were kind of nervous. I ordered the frutta di mare, and it was probably the best from everything we tried. Although I wish for the price point of $65 that the pasta had been homemade. The chicken was overcooked, bland, and again the pasta was not home made. I don’t mind paying for high quality food, I’m a foodie and want to have a delicious meal. Overall, a dinner that left a lot to be desired. Next time, I would rather go to ardovino’s desert crossing for a dinner at this price point.

Atmosphere was nice. Waiter was quick and attentive. However, the food was disappointing. We got basic Italian dishes, spaghetti and lasagna. The spaghetti was average at best, but the lasagna was not good. We could tell it was reheated bc the plate was boiling hot when the food itself was lukewarm. Yet the establishment charges the prices of freshly made pasta. I do not recommend eating here. Be warned of an empty restaurant unless you want reheated, lukewarm food. Gordon Ramsey should pay the kitchen a visit :p

Definitely the best Italian cuisine in El Paso. Period. Yes, from the outside, you probably wouldn't notice this restaurant, but you'll realize how delicate this place is upon you walk in. Guess the owner is just trying to stay low profile 😀 We ordered House Salad and Caesar Salad, both very nice, and as I always said, "if you can taste anchovies in the Caesar salad, then you know this place is for real". Main courses, we ordered French Onion Fillet Mignon, Masala Chicken, and Shrimp Scampi, ALL VERY NICE, especially the Masala Chicken, the red wine and mushroom sauce, stir with mashed potatoes, a bite with all the above, just amazing.

First time here. The service was really slow. Our food and drinks were delicious. Larry was very professional and friendly when speaking to us. Will definitely recommend

Very good italian food, it seems like it’s a new place we all should be talking about! It has a lobby with a bar and the dinning experience was really good. Portions are big and the bread was exquisite.

Delicious food. Went for the first time with family, and all of our plates were great. It was the server that detracted from the experience. Albert delivered his comedy routine throughout the meal, which was a miss. From telling us how long of a day he had . . to telling us how he "hates" when people discuss the fragrances and flavors of wine - calling wine, "just liquor," and "it smells like grapes." The attempt at humor was a detraction, but the atmosphere and food were great.
