For more than 20 years, Paolo’s has been bringing the taste of Italy to Kent. Paul Raftis founded the restaurant after growing up learning to cook along side his mother, Darlene Raftis. He enjoys the open kitchen he can chat with guests as he works. He never tires of hearing "It smells so good in here!" As a marathoner, he is living proof that that you can eat Italian and be healthy. In fact, one of his signature dishes, "Fettucine Paolo" was featured in Runner's World magazine. "It's one of the dishes I developed, it has no cream in it, no butter." It's a delicious pasta dish that utilizes olive oil, garlic, chicken stock, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, and chicken. So whether it's bruschetta, cioppino, pizza, or spaghetti and meatballs, Paul thanks each of you for choosing to dine here.

• Tex-Mex • Columbia City
Booked 1 time today
Tex-Mex cuisine began in the Rio Grande Valley before migrating up to San Antonio during the l860's where a group of women known as The Chili Queens' began to pop up in the city's plazas selling chili con carne with tamales, enchiladas, and chili verde. They incorporated cumin into their dishes favored by settlers from theCanary lslands, which still has a strong influence on Mexican food in Texas. Tex-Mex also loves beef, flour tortillas, yellow cheese, fajitas and more.Our inspiration comes from the many classic Tex-Mex restaurants including Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen, Papasito's, Ninfa's, Blue Goose, Hugo's, Herrerra's Cafe, Chuy's, Valentina's Tex-Mex and many more. Jackalope combines excellent Central Texas-style smoked meats from Jack's BBQ with delicious Tex-Mex dishes. lt's truly the best of both worlds!

    I told our waiters, who was FANTASTIC, that after going to many restaurants on Queen Anne over the past 30 years, that Grappa is one of the only ones that I can say has continued to trend upwards in Service, Quality of Food and consistency. While almost all others up here have become stagnant in those areas, Grappa has become a Go-To restaurant.

    We had a perfect dining experience from start to finish! Our appetizers, main course, drinks and desserts were beyond delicious! All of the flavors popped! Service was impeccable, even though the restaurant was at capacity. The atmosphere was lively at the bar and throughout the entire space, even in the newest area that recently opened. We are looking forward to our next visit!

    Jacob was a very wonderful, attentive waiter and Jeff was fantastic with his breadth of knowledge about wine and spirits. He recommended an excellent rye for me, a bourbon gal, and it was phenomenal (it was EH Taylor Straight Rye). The food was delicious and the beverages were very tasty. Highly recommend!
