Trattoria Grappolo

Very comfortable Italian restaurant, felt like family. Food was delicious and reasonably priced.

Found this restaurant upon happenstance while visiting central coast. It's a 2 hour drive from home for me, so it's now going to be my destination special occasion place.

Had dinner here last night with my girlfriend and parents. The food and wine were all amazing. We had pizza's, a couple different pastas, Scottish salmon and desserts. The owner, Danielli sat and talked with us. He is an amazing guy who moved here from Italy in the 90's and grew a family with his wife who he met locally. It seems that he knows everyone in the entire Santa Ynez valley and everybody loves him because literally every single person/group that left the restaurant came and talked with him and he introduced us to everybody. All around amazing experience and I highly recommend going here!

Huge portions for the price. If the risotto is on special definitely get

There were 14 of us celebrating a family birthday. I'm not sure if there was an additional charge for the private room but it was nice and we didn't have to worry about how loud we were. Our waiter was great, the other servers were great, and everyone enjoyed their meals. All in all, it was a very pleasant evening.
