The transformation from the ordinary to the extraordinary has long been a fixture of literature. From caterpillar to butterfly or duckling to swan, transformation meets improvement by design. Just like Grappa ’72, where the subtle transformation of traditional into modern elegance meets casual Italian dining. With this deal, get $30 worth of fine Italian dinner dining for only $15.

Start your experience at Grappa with an appetizer of Portobello Napoleo, a luscious antipasto of grilled mushrooms, ripe tomatoes, goat cheese, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, or try the zesty Finoccio e Arancia, a palate-thrilling dish of fennel, oranges, pomegranate and pecorino cheese. Pasta lovers can twirl up an ocean of flavor with Vongole, linguine tossed with fresh clams, garlic, olive oil and lemon, or Grappa’s Mediterraneo pasta, spaghetti noodles topped with shrimp, Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes.  Second dishes include Pollo Filipina, savory chicken braised with vinegar and laurel served with polenta and rapini, as well as the File Di Manzo, a grilled 10 oz filet mignon with porcini bordelaise, mashed potatoes and spinach. Pair your meal with a glass or bottle from Grappa’s exquisite selection, and finish (appropriately) with a glass of grappa.
