It is a trendy place and reservations are usually a must; however, Bar La Grassa does have a large bar area so you can pop in and take your chances.  You will also find a few tables outside for dining al fresco.  The atmosphere at La Grassa is animated and fun with an understated elegance.  The service staff is very professional and knowledgeable but you won't find white linen on the tables; just a simple placemat menu.

Speaking of the menu, it consists of about forty plus choices corralled neatly into four categories; antipasti, bruschetta, dry & fresh pasta and meats & fish.  You will find traditional choices liked seared sea scallops and porchetta, clever choices such as foie gras tortellini and divine choices like soft egg and lobster bruschetta and calamarata with raw tuna.  I give all these items double-thumbs up; Yum!
