Frommer's Review
At this elegant, award-winning restaurant, everything is made from scratch, using the freshest herbs and vegetables available -- preparing the tomato sauce alone requires cases of roma tomatoes each day. In a century-old building at the top of Main Street, Grappa's feels like a Tuscan farmhouse. The restaurant has three floors, with a small patio on the ground floor and a larger second-floor deck with a delightful view of historic Main Street and the surrounding mountains. Baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables decorate the dining area.
The menu changes frequently, but popular dishes often include a terrific rib-eye served caprese-style with mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and slivered garlic; seared halibut with spinach and feta cheese wrapped in a phyllo crust; and a grilled vegetable and polenta napoleon. The meats, such as the osso bucco, are seasoned in the style of southern French and Italian cooking, then grilled or rotisseried over a wood-burning flame. Aside from the choices on the excellent wine list, full liquor service is also available.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
