Grapevines - Dahlonega

This restaurant was absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious and prepared with fresh ingredients, truly capturing the essence of authentic Italian cuisine. The staff, who were Italian, added to the experience. My wife and I enjoyed the chicken fettuccine Alfredo, while my mother-in-law and a friend opted for chicken marsala—one with risotto and the other with sweet potato. We also shared mozzarella sticks as an appetizer.

Absolutely outstanding! The Italian cuisine here is among the best I've ever tasted, paired with stellar service and a wonderful atmosphere. From the moment we sat down, our experience was exceptional. The bread and olive oil were incredibly fresh and delicious. We ordered the Caprese salad, Caesar salad, bruschetta (which was the best bruschetta I've ever had), and the Chicken Piccata with risotto—everything was phenomenal. Brittney, our server, provided top-notch service and was a real delight. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. This was my first and only visit to the area, and it turned out to be an incredible culinary choice. I will definitely be returning!

We had a large group and enjoyed our lunch overall. My lasagna was not hot; it was almost cool when served. However, it was made with high-quality ingredients and tasted great—especially the leftovers I reheated at home the following day. They offer a nice selection of specialty cocktails, and I tried the Southern Hospitality, which was delicious. The parking lot is fairly spacious, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

The food was excellent. I got the Eggplant Parm. While I love this dish sometimes it is like rolling the dice as it can be greasy. No problems here. It was perfectly cooked. The bread served before dinner was very good, too. We will definitely go back. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was the service was a bit slow but I think it was because they were training a new person. After they are trained I am sure the service will be excellent, too.

The food was good but just not great. We had the spinach and artichoke dip then the entrees I had the chicken piccata and my friend had the chicken marsalas. Everything just needed a little bit more authentic seasoning. I will be back to eat again because like they said the food was good I just wish I could give it five stars.
