Grassi's - University Place

This was really one of the best experiences my wife and I had in an Italian restaurant everywhere. Jason our waiter was patient and only one of the best I saw when selling the best plate and put the taste in the mouth before it even came to our table. All four adults of our party loved our dishes, service and ambience of the small restaurant. Will definitely return there and recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a divine Italian dinner and with good prices!

After a long hard working day, this restaurant really hit the place. Three of us enjoyed three different entrees. All foods exceeded our expectations. You have a good, free wine selection. The service was fantastic. This is a local family business that is worth a visit.

Great food, great atmosphere and the best part was the service. Jason our very professional and yet personable server made the culinary experience of 4 to 5 stars. He was patient and accommodating on our table and above all my very hard to enjoyable mother. The atmosphere was amazing and all courses were delicious. All that was ordered by our party of four was delicious and the cook offered an experience that you could say was derived from some old family recipes with a touch of creativity. We arrived shortly before 8 a.m. and left at 10 a.m. what I could add is an hour after the closure. We were never rushed, and Jason was patient and friendly to the end. My wife and I have a new favorite Italian place in the Tacoma area and we will try again the NY Strip Stroganoff!

This little Hidden Gem is on Bridgeport. If you want an elegant and romantic evening, this is definitely your place. With so many Italian restaurants in the Big Chain it is very refreshing to go to a place that is a little slice of Italy here in University Place. I have several occasions here... Everything's great. Everything from the appetizers, wine list, entrees and desserts - perfect! You have a small hidden courtyard in front of your back, which is absolutely divine! It's perfect for a bigger group, maybe a girl night outside or after hours. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. If you haven't dined here, I highly recommend that you try.

My family has made a habit of coming here because of both the amazing service and even better food. Like any truly Italian restaurant, this is the place to go when you want to take your time and have a relaxing, delicious meal with friends or family. The menu is small, but you can't go wrong with anything on there (my personal favorite is the bolognese), and the wine selection is hand picked, varying depending on vintage. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Tacoma.
