The restaurant is at its peak, combining country charms with city style...And you can be sure that everyone, either dining at a table or playing on stage, is hitting high notes"-Peter M. Gianotti, Newsday. In his August 9th review of the newly renovated Grasso's, Celebrating 28 years in Cold Spring Harbor, Gail Grasso (Owner) and Tony Canales (Exec. Chef/Partner) gear up to give you yet another year of phenomenal food, jazz and just an overall feeling of “WOW”. Grasso’s, now more than ever, has that real Hip Manhattan feel you don't find on Long Island. A neighborhood gathering place where you almost always stand the chance of running into someone you know. When you dine at Grasso’s you truly feel as though you've walked into Gail’s home. It’s been called the “Cheers” of Cold Spring Harbor. It's Where Great Food and Great Music Live!

We started off with mussels as an appetizer which were very well done; however, they were stingy on the bread only providing one slice. A second piece was eventually provided but the waitress, who was pleasant, pointed out that one order of mussels came with only one piece of bread. The striped bass (special) and steak bits were okay. Our dessert consisted of cappuccino and gelato which was a nice ending.
