A boisterous, retro-styled Italian-American party spot in Soho where the disco toilets and huge portions of comfort food matter more than culinary perfection.

Ordering Strategy

Portions are massive—especially the pastas and Chicken Parm—so share aggressively. Focus on the 'fun' calorie-heavy comfort dishes like vodka sauce and fried starters rather than traditional salads or pizzas.

What to order

Safe first

Penne Alla Vodka

Known as a staple of Grasso's 'hearty comfort food' menu, this dish is praised for its 'lovely creamy tomato taste' and massive portion sizes.

Hungry

Chicken Parm

Living up to its viral reputation, this dish is described as being 'literally as big as my forearm,' hit with signature house tomato sauce and 'lashings of Parmesan.'

Wildcard

Mozzarella Sticks

An 'undeniable' highlight that critics say hits a perfect balance of 'sweetness, heat and cheese-pulling elasticity' thanks to the 'nduja and honey pairing.

Wildcard

Tiramisu

Acclaimed by critics as a 'genuinely sensational' surprise and a 'final plot-twist' that stands out as one of the best things on the menu.

What to skip

Skip
Mom’s Spaghetti— While based on a family recipe, reviewers found the meatballs to be 'passable gobstoppers of lukewarm mince' and the sauce to be 'forgettable.'
Skip
Kale Salad— Described as the 'perplexing nadir' of the menu, critics found it to be a pile of 'fibrous, unmassaged leaves' that was difficult to eat.

Good to know

The restaurant features 'disco toilets' with karaoke and a very loud atmosphere. It is better suited for birthdays and rowdy groups than intimate dates.
