About this event

👉 Please Direct Message the event host-- Krysia to join our WhatsApp group if you intend to join this event and haven't already. 🍝 Ralph's Grasso Italian-American Social \~ Soho Join Ralph and Krysia for a relaxed community social and group meal at Grasso, an independent family-owned Italian-American restaurant in the heart of Soho. 💜 There's a particularly personal connection to this event: Ralph is part of the Grasso family, and his brother Seanie Grasso is the restaurant's owner and manager. We're therefore delighted to be able to bring our community to Grasso for an evening of good food, conversation and socialising together. 😊 Grasso's food draws on the family's Sicilian heritage and New York Italian-American traditions, with homemade pasta sauces, pizza and classic Italian-American dishes including chicken parm and spaghetti & meatballs. We've arranged for a semi-private area to be reserved for our group, giving us a comfortable space to enjoy the evening together. This is intended to be a relaxed social evening rather than a structured activity — come along, enjoy some food, meet other members and socialise at whatever pace feels comfortable for you. 📅 Event Details 📅 Monday 19th October 2026 ⏰ 6:30pm – approximately 9:00pm 📍 Grasso, 81 Dean Street, London, W1D 3SW 🚇 Nearest Tube stations: • Tottenham Court Road • Oxford Circus 👥 Maximum capacity: 27 attendees 🍝 What To Expect • A relaxed community dinner and social evening. • A semi-private area reserved for our group. • An opportunity to meet other members over good food and conversation. • No structured activities or expectation to socialise constantly. • You are very welcome to attend on your own.
