Fabrizio Aielli is chef and owner to three of Naples' most prominent restaurants: Sea Salt, Dorona and Barbatella. Last week, he welcomed a fourth into the fold, Grappino, with a menu focused on Italian comfort foods. “It’s a very classic, very homey Italian menu,” Ingrid Aielli said. 

Fabrizio's wife and business partner, Ingrid has helped launch Grappino, train the staff and keep everything running upright. Grappino occupies the space on U.S. 41 North near NCH Healthcare that formerly housed Timeless that shuttered in late June after less than two years.
