The Grape Italian Steakhouse

Fairly new on the scene, the Grape has quickly gained in popularity. Located in a neighborhood on Mount Franklin, this European-style cafe offers some of the city’s finest patio dining; cobblestones, string lights, and a fountain give the place an Italian-plaza feel. Inside, the decor is cozy, with stone and wood walls and a roll-up door that lets the outside in on sunny days. The menu keeps expanding too, like the addition of baked lasagna featuring layers of beef, house-made pasta, spinach, and rich tomato sauce (ask for extra—it’s that good). They also grill a fine steak, including a tomahawk ribeye that’s big enough to share.
