Gripado’s (click on “Blog” to see their menu) has long been on my list of Claremore Best Bets. I love the place, but I tend to forget they are there (and I will stop that right now). After trying to eat a late supper at a couple places tonight, unsuccessfully since one closed at 8 PM and the other at 7:30, we happened by Gripado’s, thrilled to find it open late.
Tonight’s meal didn’t fail to impress, and I can heartily recommend the Italian bruschetta (the distinction is necessary, as they also serve the Greek variety) and the chicken parmesan. Jeane had the ham, peas, and bowtie pasta, which I have previously enjoyed.
Adding to the ambiance tonight was a young keyboardist—Michael Womack—who played tasteful and appropriate music. It all added up to a great experience. We highly recommend them. And, since they also do double duty as a donut shop, you buy tomorrow’s breakfast tonight.
We even did a live report from the scene. You can hear the piano in the background.
