Why Diners Return to Il Grappolo

Authentic Italian comfort, flexible BYO options, and unpretentious local charm tucked quietly into Rozelle.

  • Equally Mastered Pizzas and Fresh Pastas

    Consistently prepared handmade pastas and thin-crust pizzas satisfy varied tastes across families and groups, backed by balanced seasonings and generous portions.

    Can highly recommend both pasta and pizza - some restaurants do one or the other better; Il Grappolo does both superbly.

  • BYO Wine Flexibility with Full Bar Service

    Guests can reliably pair cellar bottles with classic dishes via accessible corkage while still having access to an affordable in-house wine list and bar service.

    Added bonus is that it is BYO with a very modest corkage although a glance at the wine list revealed that the wines are very reasonably priced.
