GrapeVine's Casual Italian Dining

They are incredibly kind and helpful. They are knowledgeable on dietary restrictions with gluten, dairy and even celiac. And the food is very flavorful! Highly recommend!

I have seen their billboard when driving through downtown Cumming and since we will soon be living in Cumming, of course we needed to try GrapeVines out!! Reading reviews we weren’t too sure about going to dinner with new friends, but decided to go. It is located in a nice strip mall with ample parking. It’s not a very large restaurant but we like small and intimate. It also has a bar side with high table seating. It is very nice inside with booths and tables/chairs. We were seated immediately because this particular Friday night was not busy. Apparently it was an odd evening of not being busy but we were okay with that. There was live music which was a one-man band. However he was very good and nice background music. We were told by our server Zack they have it on Friday and Saturday evenings. We were immediately greeted by wonderful server Zack. He was so friendly, engaging, attentive and some southern hospitality. We took a long time to decide on our food because we were with new friends, but he was so great checking back with us. He told us “I just don’t want you to think I’m neglecting you”. We assured him it was okay as we were here with our new friends and enjoying conversation. Of course before I commit to a glass of wine, I want a taste which he accommodated my husband and I. We finally decided, per Zack’s recommendation, on the salmon along with a small salad and the Tuscana cup of soup, of course sharing everything. It was delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly not tough and overcooked. It was bedded on Risotto which was creamy and yummy. I loved the Kalamata olives that garnished the salmon. Delicious and healthy menu choice for sure. And the garlic butter rolls they serve were outstanding, warm and delicious sprinkled with some seasoning also comes with a bowl of dipping oil with seasoning. 😋 Our soup was pipping hot with a tomato cream, chicken and a few small cut vegetables. Not too many of either but that is okay otherwise we’d be too full for our main dish. A cup was the perfect portion. Our salad with some veggies was also the perfect portion. But what made our evening complete was Zack as we thoroughly enjoyed his attention and engaging conversation. With us not living far away soon, Grapevines most likely will be our Italian “go-to”. Oh and on Mondays, they have $5 Martini nights. Didn’t ask if they have happy hour, but I will the next time in. We enjoyed a piece of scrumptious cheesecake drizzled with chocolate sauce of some sort which again was very tasty. Not too big of a slice, but again perfect portion. Our friends said they enjoyed their dinner as well. Our friend is gluten intolerant and they serve gluten free noodles which he said was very good. He also ordered chicken but he said it was a bit spicy along with a sweet potato. Well done GrapeVines. We will be back!! I hope all your food is as yummy as our first dinner with y’all.
