After Ritas & Queso became a quarantine success, founders Julian Barsotti and Glen Collins created a new Italian concept. The Grape Ape brings frosé and Italian cuisine to your door.
The Grape Ape opened last month in Highland Park Village and has become a hit for pickup and delivery. Customers can order different kits, including the $65 standard kit, containing a half-gallon jug of frosé or a bottle of Chianti Classico Riserva. The standard kit also has garlic bread, a timbale of Arbiquina extra virgin olive oil and an antipasto consisting of house whipped ricotta, roasted sweet-Italian peppers, spicy olives, marinated artichokes, salami piccante and prosciutto Americano.
The $105 baked ziti kit includes everything the standard kit has to offer, as well as baked ziti all vodka with meatballs de famiglia and a signature “greatest” caesar salad. The 200-layer lasagna kit includes the full standard kit, the caesar salad and a 200-layer lasagna for $120.
“A large part of the Italian culture centers around the kitchen and dining table,” Barsotti said in a statement. “It is the heart of the home. The Grape Ape brings the spirit of Italian dining directly to your kitchen.”
