   Great experience at Grassona's, so sad to see this place close. We had our first date here and when we found out they were closing we knew we had to go again! Grassona's will always hold a special place in our hearts. Best of luck with your next endeavors!

   I will miss my friends at Grassona's very much as I understand this was the last week-end it was to be open. Thanks for many years of great meals and fun! Pat Swaim

   Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in a long time! I love how accommodating they were with my dietary restrictions—as a vegan with a tree nut allergy Italian is usually off the table for me, but not here. I’ll be back for sure!

   I stumbled across Grassona on the internet and I'm so glad I did. I think that it is my new favorite restaurant. The food we ordered was delicious and the wait staff were very attentive. There were so many choices for vegetarians and vegans, as well as for omnivores. My husband and I were deliberating about ordering one or two Ribolita (Tuscan bread) soups and our waiter suggested sharing and having the order split in the kitchen. It was just the right amount and so tasty. I don't usually write reviews of Restaurants, but I really thought that Grassona was outstanding.

   I just don’t understand how anyone can make broccoli rabe and cauliflower so delicious! My husband does not like risotto, but he enjoyed mine. We live in Somerville, but this is worth the trek.

    My sister and I had the best Thanksgiving experience here! The service was impeccable—we were seated immediately (a few minutes before our reservation) and were swiftly brought water and drink menus and shortly after, some amazing rolls and the world’s best butter. Everyone was very kind and attentive the entire night. The food was so good: the turkey was so delicious and paired great with the thick gravy, Brussels sprouts and bacon were the perfect flavor, mashed potatoes and stuffing were second to none. We had a great time as the space was very comfortable and we had plenty of room at our table, and were not rushed at all. Lastly, we were both very happy with dessert—my sister had the pumpkin pie and I had the apple spice. So good with the heavy whipped cream. All leftovers were nicely bagged for us, including the leftover wine. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer Thanksgiving dinner!

    We very much enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal but would have liked a slight pause with our cocktails/appetizer before the main meal was served. The food was delicious.

    Lasagna and lamb raft outstanding. Mushroom sugo was a little monotonous. Wines excellent. Needs some sound absorption on ceiling. Great service. I would definitely go back and enjoy it!

    The food was disappointing and the dining room was full of smoke when we were eating. He service was terrible, including a cook who brought my children’s food to the table in a revealing tank top who looked like he had not bathed in a week. I do not recommend this restaurant.

    The food and service was exceptional; the lamb in particular was our favorite. No reason this place shouldn't be just as packed as Barcelona next door. Except, you can actually talk to other people at Grassona's because they don't have club music blaring out of their speakers. Nice outdoor seating too!

    Look it’s not cheap to eat great food, when they started talking about the branding and all day cooking of the sauce I was not moved, but boy did my mouth sing from creamy polenta and gravy with mixed meats of the kitchen...show stopper! Smokey Caesar dressing on romaine Lettuce ...yum

    Our son seen the Tiramisu French toast on the Phantom Gourmet & said we had to try it. We come from the South Shore wasn’t bad of a trip from brunch on a Sunday so worth the trip. Food was awesome! My wife and son had the Tiramisu French Toast & I had the Confit PIg Tail Hash. I love hash for breakfast this hash is a great twist. Love it!! Of course I had a few pieces of the French Toast. Service was outstanding!! Will be back!! Also a pus is free parking on the street!

    It was a lovely evening so the three of us chose to eat outside. We all immensely enjoyed the pasta with lamb and root vegetables; we agreed it was the best we had experienced. And that is from some well traveled gourmands! The service was prompt, pleasant, and enlightening about the wine and the menu. Kudos to the chef and the staff!!

    We heard about Grassonas and we're excited to check it out. The bread and appetizers were great but we were a bit disappointed by the main courses. Both the lasagna and the veal were very salty. We will likely go back again to give it another try.

    We had a really wonderful anniversary dinner at Grassona's. I really appreciate that they have a vegetarian/vegan menu - it made it very easy for me to order comfortably. My husband got the lasagna and said it was fantastic. I got the fried polenta with mushrooms and broccoli rabe, which was also excellent. The cocktails were delicious and they have outdoor seating with is nice in the great weather we're having. All around a really great experience. Well definitely be back.

    Great Italian comfort food "hidden" in plain sight, next to Barcelona. The Bolognese was filled with tender, succulent short rib meat, sausage and veal that seemed like it was marinating in its juices for hours and hours. Home made Pasta was done perfectly. All was Excellent. Lots of great vegan dishes too. Our Server, Sam, was very friendly and attentive. Will be back.

    A different take on Italian food. Very good chicken under a brick. Good chicken parm, but different: chicken was tasty and tender, red sauce and noodles didn't float my boat. Great bartender but limited selection of vodka - Tito's was the best they had (no Kettle or Grey Goose). Good experience - not great.

    We were a group of 8 and came at 6pm on a Friday in June. Still fairly quiet. Fully busy when we left but still able to chat fairly easily. Started with the large antipasto plate. Outstanding! They were happy to serve us family style so we got a mix of pasta and meat dishes plus an order of broccoli rabe from the appetizer menu. Every dish was terrific.
