After Ritas & Queso became a huge quarantine success, founders Julian Barsotti and Glen Collins have 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 pick-up and delivery. Customers can order different kits, including the standard kit ($65), containing a half-gallon jug of frosé or a bottle of Chianti Classico Riserva. The standard kit also has a 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.
