Grassa's Black Truffle Parapadelle Pasta is delicious! The rich, savory notes of truffle infused every bite with pure delight. The ambiance was perfect - ample seating options without feeling cramped. Although service was decent, the standout was their fantastic side dishes like the flavorful Brussels sprouts. A good experience overall!
Hawthorne is our go to Grassa but we dropped in here to stroll 23rd! The meatballs are amazing! Vodka sauce was A1, I prefer the SE location but they did great on food!
Good pasta, it’s is very chewy and nicely crafted. The bacon/ pork belly tastes good, and the fat/lean ratio is well balanced. The pork belly tastes like stewed, fried and then glazed. Sauce is good, especially the pesto sauce which has a nutty flavor!
The waiting time is a little long but it’s worth it!
What a great bite of pasta! I think they nailed the perfect texture for the pappardelle and had the flavor to knock it out of the park. Their meatballs were peppery and a fitting addition to the meal. 10/10 no notes.
Recently, we dined at Grassa, a delightful culinary gem. Starting off, we sipped on the Loganberry cider—a refreshing beer. But the stars of the evening were the dishes we opted for. The black truffle pappardelle was an aromatic dance of flavors and perfectly balanced. Meanwhile, the Occhi di lupo was a revelation in every bite. Both dishes showcased the chef's impeccable craftsmanship. A memorable experience at Grassa that left us eager for our next visit.
I love working here, and more importantly eating the food! I have never rated anywhere where I have worked but the crew at Grassa makes amazing, filling, scrumptious dishes that after 6 months of being here I'm still very excited to try! The seasonal specials are immaculate and the regulars are as good too! Come on in and try something new! I promise you won't regret it.

Ok food. I think I was expecting too much since the place gives out such a fancy atmosphere. Good food but it’s just pasta. Nothing that will blow your mind or that you can’t have the same flavor making it at home.
Absolutely delicious fresh pasta! We had the carbonara and it was just incredible and full of flavor! Also the nojito is a fresh delightful drink to have on a hot day. The service was great and pretty quick for lunch!
The black truffle pappardelle was some of the most perfect al dente pasta I've ever had. Just wish there was an option to get some grated truffle on top. Occhi di lupo was also very complex for a baked pasta. Caesar salad and drinks were also excellent. Prices are high, but the food is well worth it.
As someone from the east coast, I wasn’t expecting much, but damn- the pasta ain’t bad! I got a seasonal spring pea ravioli and loved it. It had a minty taste that reminded me of how much I wanted to swallow my toothpaste growing up, but now could finally experience the catharsis. I mean this in a non-sarcastic way- mint isn’t for everyone but I liked liked it! Was trying to go vegetarian but decided to leave the prosciutto in, and dayum it was good.
I do this place a disservice by nearly forgetting to mention that they have such great service. The people were really nice! Tables were clean and inviting, outdoor covered seating available, and atmosphere was nice.
