Came here for late lunch for the first time since becoming Graziano's. Coming to find out it will be under new ownership and management within a few days. I had the opportunity to meet the new owner, Holden who mentioned to me that he is still in training and learning the recipes as they plan on keeping the same menu and maintain the same quality and tasty food. The Pineapple and Ham Calzone we had ordered was huge, probably;y the biggest I have ever seen in these parts. It could easily feed 2 people, even with that we had to box the leftover. The crust and cheese, ham mixture in Ricotta cheese were made to perfection. I must say the crust was one of the best I have ever tasted for a Calzone. It was awesome! the portions were most generous. For my first Graziano experience, it was certainly an A+!! The wait staff deserved a generous tip for their very friendly service. I hope to be back again someday soon with the rest of my family. read more

Graziano's - Massive HUGE Pineapple & Ham Calzone - Italian Near Me - Forest, Virginia

Food was just ok, not much seasoning. They were so nice and quick service. It was the end of the night, getting ready to close, so I will surely give it another try in the future. The new atmosphere is beautiful and great music playing. I will have to try again. My only recommendation and I guess a complaint, is they should use real bread for breadsticks, not just cutting up pizza dough, no oil and calling it breadsticks. That was a bit disappointing. read more

Prices weren't bad and atmosphere was good but we got the meatball appetizer and they were kinda mushy and sorta bland. My wife got the four cheese ravioli which you could tell were store bought not freshly made and she said it was smothered in too much sauce for just 6 ravioli. I got the clam sauce spaghetti and it wasn't bad but overall I'd say just a meh taste. 3/5 for me read more

Placed to go order, picked up the pizza, the tall female that waited on me didn't acknowledge me other than throw the pizza box on the counter and then give me the total and never said thank you. what in the world happened to basic manners? read more

Tasty, full of flavor pasta. Also they have one of the best pizzas in the area. This is worth a try and the portions are generous read more

The over hour wait for takeout aside, the food was bland and tasteless. After waiting over an hour for 2 pasta dishes and chicken tenders I was very disappointed In the quality of food. I could've cooked a batch of pasta and made sauce from scratch faster and with better taste than the crap they gave me. Thanks for the cannolis on the house that were burnt. Hire better kitchen staff. First time here. Won't be back again. read more

On a very busy Friday night, our pizza was ready when promised and delicious! Great food!

Great food. Great service. We have eaten there many times and have never been disappointed.

My family and I ate here for lunch and it didn't disappoint. They had a special for a slice of pizza and drink for around $6. The slice was huge! I had the meat lasagna and the portion was huge, delicious and very reasonably priced. We also tried the fried zucchini and it was great! It got gradually busy and full with only one waitress, but she was very attentive and friendly. Would definitely stop in again. read more

Folks what a meal. The picture is a calzone and the arm of a 30 yr old guys for scale. Another fantastic place all due to the yelp reviews of others. It's not often you see a place with consistent near perfect ratings but with that said we had to give this place a shot. Our party of five got two of those monster calzones, a Graziano's burger thing that my daughter really loved and the a large bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. We ate all that and of us brought home doggy bags. Well except the spaghetti and meatball. My wife did finish that but she slept the whole way home. If your in town for a game, visiting a student or a local and you haven't tried this place. Just go ahead and do it. You will not be displeased. read more

Wow! Stopped in today and ordered a large pepperoni and it was $20 for a large pepperoni extra cheese and it was fabulous!!! Great pizza!

I ordered chicken penne pasta and a chocolate cake. It came with a salad and garlic bread. I added a little garlic salt to the pasta cause I love tons of garlic but otherwise the food was AMAZING. The portion size was great. Enough pasta to have another day and the chocolate cake was REALLY GOOD and huge. I could only eat half of both. I will definitely be dining again very soon! read more

If you're from the north and want authentic good New York style pizza. This is the place for you! Highly recommend the 18 inch if you're serving a crowd. read more

Food was locally sourced. Waitress was very kind. American Italian food at fair prices: sandwiches, pizzas, salads, and dessert. read more

Totally disappointed. Calamari appetizer portion was small. Spaghetti sauce/pizza sauce is bland. I think the place is under new ownership. Service timing was off. Bread was stale and lettuce was old. Shame! read more

Mamma Mia it was a very good Italian restaurant,haha. Very good food,and service. This is a great restaurant . I dearly recommend it read more

We picked this place based on the overwhelmingly positive, but I wasn't impressed. The mozzarella sticks are $8 for 6 and they were basic. The marinara sauce lacked flavor and was bland. Our waitress was great. Glasses stayed full and we had everything we needed. The pizza was also, just ok. We got the meat lover. We were finishing our meal around 8:15, with no other customers in the restaurant and the other waitress working proceeded to sweep around us for the rest of our meal, until I asked if we needed to pay and leave. Can't say we'll go back. read more

Where do I begin. How about at the beginning of maybe the worst dining experience of my life. Sat down and it took 15 minutes for them to ask for my drink order. Then took almost just as long to bring it back. We ordered two slices of pizza, that's it. Took another 20 minutes to bring us old light heated pizza that was gross. My daughter almost cried out of frustration. Especially considering I was already doing it myself. read more

So sad to see this fine restaurant take a nose dive! Wings were breaded, soggy and tasteless. Antipasto salad had no olives, no peppercinis, basically moldy lettuce with a couple pieces of lunchmeat on it. The meat wasn't even sliced. The meatballs were good, but the spaghetti had a small ration of "sauce" making it dry and sticky. The "sauce" was watered down tomato sauce, at best! No seasoning, no flavor, nothing resembling a rich, aroma Italian sauce. Sorry, not returning and not recommending! read more

Best pizza from Lynchburg to Charlottesville!Their pies taste like you're visiting an authentic NY pizza place. It's reasonably priced, always hot and fresh, and the staff are way friendlier than an average New Yorker. read more

Pizza is great and it looks really nice inside, service was great! Will definitely become a regular for us!

This is our GO TO pizza place! We love the special pizza and mozzarella sticks! The service is awesome and we love coming back to this family-run restaurant! One of our favorite places to eat for sure! read more

By far BEST PIZZA in and around Lynchburg! We have had them all and if these guys are open and if you can pick your pizza up or dine in, this is your place!! I would not recommend delivery as the delivery service Slice app you go through always seems to mess your order up. If you must use it I strongly suggest you call the restaurant so you actually get what you think you ordered. But I recommend just go dine in, or pick up that way you have a 100% Excellent experience! Best pizza, crisp crust, just the right amount of garlic in the sauce, cheese, cheese, cheese, everything you love and not one thing you don't. Great people and leave room for cheese cake or a canoli. read more

Only had the pizza and it was average, nothing special and would not go back. The toppings were very sparse and it only took about a minute for them to make it. read more

Great pizza and platters. Very friendly ownership and staff. If you have room, the desserts are fabulous.

What can I say, it doesn't get any better, this is by far the best Italian place I have been too. We moved here a year ago and we love this place. The portions are huge, the food tastes amazing. read more

Great service and pizza!!! I have been coming to this wonderful place since I was young and it never disappoints. Definitely recommend to come and enjoy a meal here. read more

Good pizza. Employees have no idea how to run a restaurant. I asked which white wines they had and the waitress said "Um... Merlot... and um...", to which I said "Oh, that's a red wine". She then goes to the kitchen to ask what they have and is complaining to other employees that she responded merlot and apparently we yelled at her "YOURE WRONG" (which did not happen) -- all while my entire family could hear her. She sent out another employee to take care of us, but we felt so disrespected and under appreciated after hearing her complain about us for asking a question. Whoever owns this place needs to learn how to train employees and teach people not to say things to hurt customer's feelings in front of their face. read more

Good and service are both good and prices are reasonable. The inside is clean and comfortable.

This place is awesome , salad the best, garlic cheese bread great, eggplant parmigiana wonderful, new owners just as good as last owners!! Dawn really takes good care of you there.. thank you everyone read more

This was our first time to eat at Grazianos. Our waitress, Hillary E. was fantastic. She was friendly and very efficent. We got a chicken parm sub and a cheese steak sub. Both were huge and delicious. We recently moved to VA from NH. We had a favorite sub shop there and we both agree that Grazianos was just as good. We will be back. read more

Just recently found this gem of a restaurant! I've only had their spaghetti so far, but I plan on trying more items from the menu each week. It was the best spaghetti I've ever had. Absolutely delicious!! Salads and bread are amazing, too. The staff always treats us so kindly when we order our food and always prepare our order to perfection. I will be frequenting this restaurant in the future. read more

OMGosh we went in there to eat for the first time. The food, the service was amazing. You need to go there with an appetite. I ordered a half of a sub and it was so big I ended up taking half of it home. The pizzas looked so good. I recommend this restaurant very highly. I know we plan on going back again. read more

Love Graziano's, the food is delicious and the service is top notch. Italian Family owned business, please support them! read more

Pizza was good however we were really put off by the staff not wearing masks. Our waitress kept coming to the table with no mask and two other employees were walking around the dining area talking to customers without masks. There are only a few tables in the place so everyone is pretty close. We eventually put our masks on at our table, got the check and left. read more

I recently picked up a pizza and chicken penne alfredo. This was my first time ever here. There were people dining in, but gosh the interior has NO type of atmosphere whatsoever. What a dull space. I highly recommend just getting food to go. The pizza disappointed me a bit because I feel like they kind of skimped on the toppings, especially given the price. The pizza tasted good, not great. The crust was excellent, but there was hardly any sauce so the pizza was very dry. My husbands chicken penne alfredo was hot and was a good portion size but it had NO flavor at all. Did not seem as though there was any salt in it whatsoever. His dish was also supposed to come with a side of bread but that was missing from the order. Might try again but will try other Italian restaurants first. read more

Graziano's - Italian Near Me - Forest, Virginia

rarely leave a review but I had to explain mine and a friend's experience. We both ordered two different pasta dishes. Both dishes had a very bitter strong oregano flavor that over powered the meals. The bread was hard and crumbled like a crouton. The salad barely had salad. The manager finally made one meal no charge however i still had to pay for mine. I barely touched the pasta. Neither one of us will return there. Shame too. If the food was edible we would. I guess some of the other food items are good but why would i want to go back and try it? read more

For my first time there the food and service was great. They have a wide variety of options to choose from I had the fish sandwich which was very good and big enough for two people. Will definitely go back to try some of there other items such as there calzones, pizzas, salads and some of those delicious looking desserts. Will recommend this place to my family and friends. If you have a chance to go there to eat I highly recommended it you won't be disappointed. read more
