Ordered the chicken gizzard meal. I have been ordering this for years and it has been my favorite meal. However once I ate it, the chicken was different. It was undercooked and tasted like liver and the texture was like mashed potatoes. It didn’t even look the same as it did. The soup was also spoiled. Definitely will no longer be ordering again.

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.

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!

I wanted to try out a mom and pop restaurant and was craving Italian. I stopped in a few weeks back for dinner and ordered almost $200 worth of food so I could sample multiple dishes because I knew I’d be leaving a review one way or another.

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.

Not sure where the people who left the rave reviews actually ate, but it couldn’t have been here. Top three worst Italian dining experiences of my life. Garlic bread was covered in salty burnt cheese, lasagna had zero flavor and was a salty, greasy mess. On the plus side, the server was very friendly and attentive. You just need to put out decent food.

Great service, great food, family owned and operated. Better than Olive Garden or Caruso’s. Try the sweet onion, tomato and cheese salad.
