Grico’s Catering

Went here for the first time a couple weeks ago and it was fantastic! Walked in without reservations at 730PM on a Saturday and we were prepared to wait at least the standard 30 minutes you would expect but were pleasantly surprised to be seated almost immediately. Both the hostess and the server was very pleasant, friendly and attentive. And the food… it was excellent! Rolls were crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, salad was great, and the crabcake was said to be «without filler»…and it absolutely was just crabmeat and seasoning held together by some magical force. I went for the single and wish I had ordered two, but luckily I saved room for dessert because the peanut butter pie was amazing. Sangria was also very tasty. My husband had the steak and thought it was great as well. We definitely will be back!

Wonderful for a nice romantic night out. My (now) husband proposed to me in one of the private tables, it was perfect. The menu offers a lot of variety and the service has always been great.

Love this place. We hadn’t been here in years. It was a pleasant surprise, it was beautiful, the service was flawless, and the food, oh my the food, it was among the best I have ever had the pleasure of eating. It has become our new go-​to place.

Family goes here every year. They never disappoint! Really awesome food. had stuffed flounder, calamari, & cheese cake! All was soo impressively good!

Absolutely amazing! Came here for my anniversary on the recommendation of a regular here. I made a reservation about 2 weeks in advance for one of the private tables.
It was so crowded when we walked in but we were greeted right away and whisked away to our private table. All levels of service exceeded any expectations we had. All of our servers were professional, knowledgeable, and and personable. The martini menu was creative and delicious, apps were big enough to share, the entrees and dessert were all A+.
I can’t recommend this place enough. Classy and refined, this is one of the best meals we ever had, and we cannot wait for our next sate here!
Side note: a well dressed adult atmophere, and not really for kids.

First time here I went with my good friend. My first impression was a nice place for a romantic dinner since they have intimate seating for two in the back. We were greeted with a warm welcome from the hostess that took us to our table and again we were greeted by our waitress.
We started with a delicious salad topped w/​buffalo mozzarella and a homemade pesto dressing.
I don’t like to be negative but we had to ask three times for bread and then again two times for butter. Somewhat makes this uncomfortable to keep asking.
I had the White Sangria and my friend had a glass of wine. For dinner I had as you can see in the pic the Veal and My friend had the Salmon both good. Prices are high and for just three drinks the bar bill was $ 28.50.
After dinner my friend had again to ask twice for coffee and had to find our waitress to pay the bill.
Not sure if I would go back

My sister recently purchased the entire thanksgiving dinner from Gricos. It was fabulous! Turkey was great and veggies, especially the Brussels sprouts, root veggies, green beans, oyster stuffing were incredible. Did not taste like «reheated food» because they cooked everything al dente so a little microwaving was great. HIGHLY recommend it!

Perfect for Date Night
The private booths are perfect for a quiet night with your date. The food is always good and the prices reasonable.

Intimate setting, pretty good food. The capeletti soup is probably the best I’ve ever had. The salad was fresh, but it could have used a bit more dressing. I had the Capellini with the «award winning red sauce» and I found it to be just okay. I’ve got an italian grandmother though, so I find that sauces that tastes similar to her own are always my favorite. This sauce was a bit too flat tasting and sweet for me. But the meatballs were great. I will return to try something different next time.

We just got back from the Farm to Table night. Overall the food was okay… more on that in a min… but one thing that was very annoying was that they add in 20% gratuity to the check, automatically at the end, and they don’t let you know how much it is.
We hate this practice as we feel it’s deceptive and NOT the responsibility of the restaurant to tell it’s patrons how much to tip for service. If they feel they need more money to cover the cost of the dinner, then they should just charge more. Period.
As for the food, the package deal we got was the Farm to Table dinner. Comes with a drink. An appetizer, salad, main course, and desert.
This night was basically a fried chicken dinner for $ 28+ 20% automatic gratuity.
The overall experience and how the food was presented was very nice… BUT… basically all the courses were very average. The appetizer was a butter milk biscuit with jalepeno butter. Nice presentation, but the biscuit was small, hard, and cold. Not what you’d expect. This was followed by Smoked sausage gumbo. Very small plate of the gumbo (3oz) and the sausage was a little dry. Was ok. The next thing out was fried green tomato’s with crab salad. Again, very small… one slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a couple small clumps of crab. Not very tasty at all. Then the main course. The temperature of the food was great. Hot and fresh. The chicken was a ½ a chicken, so plenty of that. The corn puddling was bland and very small amount and the mashed potato and gravy was bland and small too. Desert, was a micro sized red velvet cake and a mini root beer float. Nice looking, but not very special.
Overall, they know how to «dress up a pig» at Grico’s. They took very average food (fried chicken) and made it sound and look fancy.
On the plus side, the service was good. Awesome atmosphere and the wine list was great. Many positive things, but watch out for the Auto-​tip. As for the food, we’ll have to try it again… maybe it was an off night? But, we’ll avoid any dish with the Auto 20% gratuity — my partner works at a law firm and is looking into the legality of this practice in PA… we’ve seen it other places… and feel this practice it deceptive.

Super. So glad they are open again after so many years. My wife and I went back for our anniversary outing, and were especially pleased they still have the private ‘confessional booth’ tables for couples. Romantic. Food and service were both excellent.

Sorry that there is no photo. With the first bite I was smitten. Couldn’t stop to take a photo. Salmon with dill sauce and she had blackened salmon with raspberry sauce. Five stars says it all! Be sure to reserve a private booth. If we can add a photo here is the dessert.

Just a quick update here. Grico’s is back in business. The food is as good as ever. We ate here twice during the opening week. My old favorites: stuffed mushrooms, shrimp savoi, and seafood fra diavolo were just as good as I remember them and the new menu items are excellent as well.

Great food and the prices are ok

Great food and atmosphere with private dining booths, unfortunately, the place caught fire two days ago. No word yet if the owner will rebuild.

We tried several of their dishes, some of which were very good, while others were o.k. at best. Their crab-​stuffed mushroom caps are excellent. The schrimp in the shrimp scampi was over-​cooked and a bit tough. The veal melanzone was so so. The side garden salad was a bit sparce, just a few leaves of various greens with not much dressing. The bread basket was two dinner rolls, which were not warmed, and a hand full of store bought breadsticks. We went on a Saturday night, and even at 9 p.m. the place was packed, which might be the reason the food could have been better. Perhaps on a slower weeknight the cook would have more time to devote to preparation. They are a bit on the pricey side, a very small glass of wine runs $ 4.50 a glass. I see they have a second location, so we might try eating there, but I won’t revisit the Exeter location. I myself make a much better shrimp scampi and a much better tomato sauce, and my wife makes much better fried eggplant. So unless we really don’t want to cook ourselves, I doubt we’ll be going back here.
