| Everything in this northern Italian neighborhood spot is oh so nice. In fact, it’s so nice that this eatery feels like the kind of place you want to keep to yourself. It is a bit hidden away within St. Paul’s Cathedral Hill neighborhood, but a place like this — with dreamy food, a passionate staff, and a warmth that goes beyond ambience — doesn’t stay a secret for long. Pastas, chicken, seafood and veal comprise the menu, along with the occasional special. |

| But the signature of this spot is a drink, called ”grolla.” Obviously, this beverage, the Italian cup of friendship, is the inspiration for the restaurant’s name. And knowing that this coffee drink, with a hint of lemon and a boost from an Italian liquor named grappa, is a drink meant for sharing, explains everything about the feeling that you get as soon as you walk in the door. | |
