Casual Italian Dining
Pasta prepping
Grassa is casual Italian dining that provides quality food at affordable prices. There are two Grassa locations but all my visits have been to the one on SW Washington . Here you can choose to sit at the bar that peeks into the kitchen and perhaps watch the process of measuring out fresh pasta into individual containers. There are also options for family style seating, booths and a few outdoor tables. Music is provided by a rotating collection of LP’s.
Two of my favorite dishes continue to be the Rigatoni (Sunday Pork Ragu) and the Spaghetti ‘Aglio Olio’. Add in sides of meatballs, garlic bread and glass (or carafe) of wine and one should be very happy post meal.
