My list is becoming helpful! Now whenever someone wants to go out to dinner I send them a picture of my list for suggestions and leave the rest to them. The indecisive person's guide to making other people choose for you.

Which leads me to GRAPPA!

LOCATION: 30 CELEBRATION DR., ROCHESTER, NY 14620

I went out to dinner with my friend Rob and he liked the sound of GRAPPA, and thus we were off! GRAPPA is actually attached to the Hilton Hotel and we entered in through the hotel lobby to the restaurant. A bit drafty with extremely high ceilings which make for interesting acoustics. This place was beautiful. Very modern with super clean lines and lots of smooth hard surfaces. There's an outdoor patio where you can sit and a cute little bar in the center of the restaurant. We were seated inside (kind of wish I brought a sweater!) and we could see the kitchen from where we were. Very cool feeling and a great experience.

I ordered the orecchiette bolognese which had an amazing meat sauce topped with fresh parm. Delicious. I almost ate the whole plate but believe me, I was super happy to have the leftovers the next day. Rob ordered the smoked mozzarella ravioli which I had a bite of. Also really great and the mozzarella filling had an incredible smokey flavor. More cheese than I was in the mood for at that time so I'm happy with my decision but I'm pretty sure he was also happy with his.

Super nice place. Beautiful and pretty classy. I wish I got more dressed up, but that probably would've been better if we went later in the night. Would for sure go back!
