Sorry but not impressed about any of the food. It just didnt taste good. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and the famous garlic parm bread. The spaghetti was dry, the 2 meatballs were okay, and the bread was just a huge chunk of bread that you could barely bite into. Pricey for what you get. Staff seemed pretty friendly but, I didnt have much interaction with staff as I orderd take out. I have to say I will not be back and was sort of in shock. After reading the reviews for this place I expected so much more especially when someone stated they drive from Yuma because its so good.

Ordered the lemon picata. Was extremely lemon, way too much so. Should have been more subtle. Chicken itself was good, nice presentation just needed a less tart sauce.

I’m visiting from Texas for work, and one of my colleagues took me to Grasso’s, saying it was one of her favorite dinner spots, and now I totally see why! The food was absolutely incredible (I had the Spaghetti & Ravioli with meat sauce—10/10, no complaints here!), and the service was just as impressive. Our glasses were always full, salads and garlic bread came out quickly, and the staff checked on us regularly with a smile.
The owner was the kindest person, and he made sure we left both happy and full. Seriously, I’ve never left a restaurant so eager to write a review! I’d recommend Grasso’s to anyone. Even though most of my family and friends probably won’t find themselves in El Centro (lol), one of our company’s plants is here, and I’ll be telling all my coworkers to make sure they have dinner at Grasso’s when they’re in town. If you are looking for good food along with a great experience, this is the place to go!!!

Excellent food, serious outstanding. Service was top notch. Great to see a family owned business continuing to thrive in El Centro. We all enjoyed our meal and had lots of leftovers to take for breakfast!

Stopped by on the way to Phoenix and we were pleasantly surprised with decor, local crowd, and service. Parking lot was quite fool. We tried house salad and pizza and the dishes did not disappoint!

The food is either good or bad, it’s hit or miss 50/50… Service depends on the day & time. Ambiance is typically pleasant. However, we would prefer more consistency as customers who are opting for mom and pop local restaurants. *Edited: For example, your dinner “specials” were simply basic pastas with dark meat chicken. The presentation was careless and messy. The taste was imbalanced and way too incongruent with the name of the dish. Too much lemon zest on the dark meat (perhaps to disguise its actual flavor)? I hope that’s a bit clearer. Just want to be honest & give you feedback as to what your customers are experiencing. There’s always room for improvement & a savvy business owner would be receptive to it and listen. ✌

Excellent quality food and nice service. Atmosphere is also pleasant and appropriate for both small or large parties.

Overly seasoned pasta and chicken. Almost inedible. Very nice staff.

Great food, excellent service… I remember a kind waitress carrying me back to the kitchen and given a bread stick because I was being fussy..likely a late night..I couldnt have been more than 2 years old. This door brings back memories over 50 years old. We will always come back to Grasso’s when ever in the area.

On the positive side,
the food is very good and the OWNER thanked us as we were leaving the Restaurant.
On the negative side,
the server never once smiled at us.
We told her right at the start, we were celibrating our Anniversary and not even once did she wish us a happy anniversary or offer a small cheap desert (not required, but would have been a nice jesture)…
She, the server was very serious, had had no warmth or personality and seemed botherd to work there. We did not feel welcomed.
The atmospher of the Restarurant needs a TON of creative work!
Very boring ambience …for example,
there are no booths (which make it more comfortable and romantic), as they only have cheap boring chairs and small tables throughout the Restaruant… The former Steak house (China Palace) had red comfortable booths and candles with dim lighting which made the atmospher warms and romantic.
There are a couple of cheap fake small trees that have no character and no small white lights (like in Italy)…
There were no plants to warm the place up and the lighting could be a bit more romantic and darker, with CANDLES on the table.
As far as drinks…they had the usual wines but there were no Margaritas.
Parking is easy but the parking lot looks ghetto and is dangerous due to all the uneven cracks in the cement…(not well kept).
We do not have many choices here in the Valley and if the Owner were serious about increasing business and having the place packed, he would consider some decorating upgrads and hire more WARM and FRIENDLY servers.
