"Reopened Italian restaurant by Isaac Becker and Nancy St. Pierre, offering a variety of pasta dishes." - Serena Maria Daniels
"James Beard Award-winning chef Isaac Becker’s sultry Italian restaurant is usually packed, so make a reservation, especially if you want a kitchen-side seat at the Pasta Bar. Start with the dreamy soft eggs and lobster bruschetta, and then try the red wine spaghetti with pine nuts or mafalda with a soulful Bolognese. Finish with the gjetost cheesecake, made from a sweet and savory caramelized Norwegian cheese" - Stacy Brooks
"A pasta restaurant by Isaac Becker and Nancy St. Pierre located near the new St. Pierre Steak and Seafood." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Bar La Grassa has a bit of bustle to it — it may not be the best spot if you’re looking for a quiet, intimate meal. But if a more electric atmosphere appeals, this is the place. All the essential date night elements are there: black leather booths, candlelit tables, and fresh pasta, from mafalda bolognese to ziti with shrimp and vin santo cream. Start with the dreamy soft eggs and lobster bruschetta, though." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
"James Beard Award-winning chef Isaac Becker’s sultry Italian restaurant is always packed. Small and large plates here are best shared. While waiting for a table, step into the adjoining Snack Bar for a slice of pizza and a cocktail before heading to Bar La Grassa for plates of red-wine spaghetti and dreamy soft-eggs-and-lobster bruschetta." - Justine Jones, Alex Lodner
