Love this place. The location is great, really nice setting inside, great bar too. I love the Chicken parm sandwich! Catered from them often very good food for a reasonable price.

Delicious food! Great atmosphere and good service so far. I love their soups! You can order the bottomless soup or salad or both if you like to go that way. The soup is always filling. I ordered the Creamy Tomato soup tonite it is so good I really wanted to put away 4 bowls but only made 3. :-( My husband ordered the half order of Spaghetti with Marinara and found it to be delicious and a good amount to fill him. The only problem was the rock-hard pebble he took out of his mouth The kitchen staff concluded it was a bean. It looks like a pebble and luckily he didn’t bite down hard or he probably would have cracked his tooth. They were nice about acknowledging the Pebble/bean tho instead of pretending it wasn’t there. Maybe it was a bean petrified into a rock, who knows. Our waitress Joy was a wonderful and upbeat lady, I observed her treating everyone in the area with kindness as she took care of her tables. So one pebble, I mean star off for the bean(whatever) but we have never had a bad meal or service here, even with pickup orders.

Waitress wasn’t very good plus added a tip which I thought was rude. We always tip very well. Kind of an insullt. I didn’t think this was allowed anymore but we didn’t argue. Service and food average at best.

Very kid-friendly! Kids can watch pizza being made from stools overlooking the kitchen. The cooks gave my 3 kids balls of dough to play with while waiting for dinner. The house salad is delicious! And refillable! Service was incredible for our party of 15!

Consistently good food, quick and doting service, and reasonable prices are the big hits here. The brick-oven pizzas are especially good. Great place for a lunch meeting.

We are starting to really like this place as a family friendly restaurant. Waitress was great. The food is very good. This was our third time here and we enjoyed it again. We had pizza for the kids and I had the gnocchi in vodka sauce, it was good. My wife had wheat noodles with veg. And garlic oil sauce. She really flavorful.

Food is good, prices are a little high for regular pasta among other items.

This place has some seriously great brick oven pizza! Been here a couple times for their pizza! They sell a great deal of authentic Italian dishes in addition to their brick oven pizza! Everything here is pretty great and has awesome taste and flavor! As an appetizer, they give you some fresh baked bread to dip into olive oil and I usually add salt and a little bit of pepper! It’s like my favorite appetizers and restaurant and can’t stop eating it! I recently ordered the Margherita pizza which has cheese, tomato, and basil! Pretty simple, and if you know me, I’m pretty plain Jane with my food :) The pizza was able to feed two people with the smaller size! The crust was cooked just perfect, with a little crunch to it! The sauce was great because it wasn’t overpowering the pizza!(Not a big fan of a lot of sauce on my pizza) The ingredients were all so fresh and worked together so well, to make it a lighter pizza! It didn’t even take long for the food to come out. We made our order and in 5 – 10 minutes it was sitting in front of us! We also tried their Nutella dessert option, which is basically a whole pizza crust with a beautiful mound of Nutella all slathered in between the crusts! It was almost like a Nutella sandwich, which was scrumptious and a perfect ending to the dinner! Definitely try it! Great service and great food! A must try :)

Just had dinner with family and the food and service was outstanding! There’s plenty of free parking and it wasn’t too crowded. My only suggestion would be to ask guests if it’s ok to be seated next to loud, rowdy, kids who don’t know how to behave in public; much less respect their parents or the people around them. People, control your kids or at the very least, teach them some manners! Anyhow, the food is delicious & fresh, the service is quick and attentive, and the portions are big. I’ve been going here for over ten years and the restaurant and the atmosphere have definitely changed… in a good way. We will definitely come back and enjoy what this place has to offer… well, maybe not the bratty kids. Lol! ;-)

I’d heard good things about this place, so was looking forward to it. I don’t think the fact that I went on a 5th date with someone I had already decided I didn’t want to see anymore impacted my experience… at least not that much. I ordered the caprese salad — the mozzarella was cold, and felt grainy. They brought a bruscetta on the house, which was almost enough that I wouldn’t have needed to even order food. I’d say their motto at Graziano’s may be QUANTITY over QUALITY. It felt a little Olive Garden-esque, without the standardization. Not a fan. I think prices are reasonable, but I didn’t pay. Would be fine not going back there. We have ordered their pizza on occasion for work, and I’d say that’s solid. I’d get their pizza, but not really anything else.

Ok, so let’s talk more about the food… I noticed that you have several 1 and 2 star reviews in regards to your food(scroll down and you will see someone put pizza crust in a to go box) but you called me out about your server. Well I am 50 years old my son who is 25 who can pretty much digest 2 plates of fiery hot nachos and not even burp, but when we get home I am in the downstairs bathroom and he went to the upstairs bathroom, both of us on the toilet, an hour later then my wife. So do you think this was an isolated incident or maybe food wasn’t prepared properly? Let’s agree to this, you lost a customer even though that was my first time there it will be my last. And for you to call me out on your server and you disregard the other 1 and 2 star reviews you have had this year shows you have your priorities mixed up.

First time here. Although it was busy we were seated quickly which was nice. They brought our salad and we had no utensils so we had to wait 5 minutes before we could start eating our salad. When I asked the waitress for utensils, she looked confused. She’s like, «Oh, silverware?» Same thing, isn’t it? The pizza was average not great. My son had the chicken skewers and those were good.

This is a decent place to have dinner if in the area, and having tried it, I will continue my search for a better option. We dined here because my BF’s parents chose it as it is near their home. In sum, it was a reasonably priced average meal and service was good as can be for a party of eight. We had to ask to have appetizer plates taken away, we had to ask for crushed red pepper with pizza orders. But, refills and second rounds of drinks were free flowing. The most surprising aspect of our service was at the end. My to go box included a piece of eaten crust. … Guess folks who usually dine here literally want everything on their plate to be taken with them. I was wowed by that one. With each entrée, you have the option of ordering a half or full order. For $ 4, you can add a soup or salad. The portions are large so it makes sense to share. I think you could even share the half order of the Chicken dishes. They were big. We had bruschetta and complimentary bread to start so no one was able to finish their meals. The Graziano pizza was slightly disappointing, but it was definitely edible. Despite its name, it was not the best item on the menu and if I were to return, I would not order the pizza. I tasted a few of the pasta dishes and they were okay. On the other hand, the Cheesecake with Raspberry was delicious! One of the sweetest, creamiest cheesecakes I ever had. I would definitely order it again and again. If the server put a piece of the cheesecake’s broken crust in with any leftovers, I would probably eat it. As a matter of fact, I would. For those with celiac or gluten allergies, this may not be a not a bad dining option for you. The complimentary bread is all gluten free and they also offer gluten free pasta and gluten free pizza. One can only hope the GF meals have more flavor than the others.

Been here several times but always for a baby shower or birthday parties that we’ve been invited to. So the food is always preordered. Typically a pizzas, salad, calamari, chicken n pasta dish. Food was always just ok. Maybe it’s because it was always a big party but all the food was served cold. Not how I like my meals. Hotter the better(except for salads of course). I like the cheese from my pizza to be stringy as I take a bite n pull it away! I like my pastas al dente n pipping hot! I didn’t get that here. Service here was less than acceptable. The host for the baby shower had to buss tables and refill water glasses cuz the 2 servers assign to the party were no where to be found. We basically had to wave them down to ask for things like coffee we ordered but never got and we felt that we were bothering them as they were folding napkins at the bar. I probably wouldn’t go back by choice. Only if were invited again for another event. If the food was good I could put up with below average service. Or If server were above par I could settle for ok food. But if the place provides neither, why would one go back??? Just my thought.

So disgusted/disappointed with this restaurant. Ordered the Salmon Cobb salad and found a strand of hair in it… My Mother ordered the spinach ravioli to go, once at home and after inspection there was yet another strand of hair in her food too. This is never acceptable!

I went here with a large group to celebrate a special occasion. Our server was really friendly. She gave pizza dough to all the children in our group to play with. It got a bit messy, but the kids enjoyed it. Appetizers Stuffed Arancini with peas, prosciutto, provolone, balsamic glaze Traditional Fried Calamari Both appetizers were good. The arancini was a bit heavy, but I only ate half of 1 piece so it didn’t weigh me down. Pizza I ordered the Gaetano — sausage, mushrooms, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil The wood fired brick oven really makes a difference. The thin crust was crunchy and light and the toppings were fresh and delicious. I also tried the Graziano and Barbecue Chicken pizza. Both were good as well. I ordered a side salad and the portion was huge! It could easily be shared with another person. Our group ordered a mix of things: pizza, chicken and pasta. Everyone enjoyed their meal. This restaurant was a good choice for our large group and very kid-friendly.

Love this place for lunch. Been here multiple times and I always get the same thing because it is delicious. Their unlimited soup & salad deal is awesome. They have the best roasted red pepper soup. Also, their house dressing is probably the best salad dressing I have ever had and their foccaccia is delish. I definitely want to try more things on their menu next time I am in the area.

Everything we had was pretty good. Enjoyed the Grilled Calamari, Sausage and Peppers, House Salad, and Spinach Ravioli. The guy waiting on us did a nice job as well.
