Grappa
RestaurantÅboulevarden, Aarhus
Italian by the river — from morning coffee to late dinner.

Illustration made with AI
Grappa sits on Åboulevarden and is open from ten in the morning until midnight, and until one on Friday. That makes it one of the few Italian places in the city you can use all day: a coffee in the morning, pasta at lunch, a bottle in the evening.
The kitchen is modern Italian, and there is a wine bar alongside the restaurant. The card is broad enough for both a light lunch and a proper dinner.
Open every day from ten. They close at one on Friday and at midnight the rest of the week.
The seats facing the river are the best when the weather allows, and they go first. It suits a lunch in the centre, an evening with several people, and anyone who wants to sit by the water without booking.
Why it's worth a visit
- Open from 10am until midnight
- Pasta, pizza and wine
- Seats facing the river
