I wanted to like this place, I had heard great things from a few different people but unfortunately was very disappointed. First of all, I got the most informal “confirmation text” that I thought was weird so I called to confirm my reservation instead. I then arrived at 8:36 for my 8:30 reservation. When I got to the host stand to check in the host said they had given our table away because we were late and would have to wait a few minutes and we sat down around 8:45 by a different host who wasn’t all that pleasant. This isn’t that big of a deal but I work at a restaurant as well and don’t give tables away until the 15 min grace period is up, so that’s just a small note for their team. Once we sat, we were greeted with waters right away and our server came shortly after and he was wonderful. He let me sample a few different wines (none of which were great) until I finally just picked one. For food; my friend is dairy free and there weren’t a lot of realistic or appealing options for her and she left hungry and unfulfilled. My food was simply not good. I got the ziti with shrimp and a side of focaccia, both of which lacked flavor or anything memorable about them. Then I did sit there without water for about 10 minutes. The ambiance is cute I gu as but all in all it was just an ok experience and we probably won’t be back.
This place never misses! With a fun atmosphere, exceptional service and outstanding food, we walk away happy every time! I love the various Italian dishes available and highly recommend any of the bruschetta options they have. This time we weren’t super hungry, so split the spaghetti carbonara, a Caesar salad (done the right way!) and a standard bruschetta with garlic. It was delicious and even though we ate more than we thought, we still had a little left over. If you haven’t been here or it’s been awhile, find your way in to Bar La Grassa, you’ll be very happy that you did!
Our server was fantastic—friendly, engaging, and made the experience fun. We arrived with a reservation but still had to wait for a table, which was a bit disappointing. The busser, however, was abrupt—placing and removing items without warning, even when our hands were in the way. It felt off, especially given how great our server was. The food was slightly above average. Overall, it’s a decent spot for a one-time visit or a casual get-together with friends, but not somewhere I’d rush back to.
Very great service. Everyone in staff is moving fast and very professional. The food was amazing! Our favorite was the mushroom pasta. Definitely would come back. We came for our anniversary and it fit the vibe well.
We were served by Christina, who had excellent recommendations. I've been to numerous Italian restaurants, and BLG is undoubtedly the best Italian restaurant that I've had the pleasure of visiting. Everything was so flavorful and fresh, a delight to the taste buds and senses. The charred onion bruschetta - it was done so well - 6/5 Ricotta and Picked tomato bruschetta - 4/5 Gnocchi with cauliflower and orange - 5/5 Mushroom Taleggio Agnolotti - 6/5 Crispy Insalata - 5/5 The gjetost Cheesecake and salted caramel Crespelle were both good in their own way 4/5. BLG exceeded expectations. An amazing experience. I can't wait to visit again.
