    Seasonal Cocktail
    Jane S.

    Graziella's is one of those places that never disappoints. I've been a couple of times now, and every visit has been such a great experience. I went last night with my boyfriend and a friend, and once again we left so happy (and very full!). It's a perfect spot whether you're on a date or coming with a bigger group, they have plenty of space with both an upstairs and downstairs, so it never feels cramped. The vibe is warm and inviting in that classic neighborhood way. The pizza is definitely the star here. We got the Vito and the Mike's Hot Honey pizza, and both were hits. Super flavorful, great crust, and honestly the kind of pizza you think about later. Their drinks are just as good, they have a solid mix of wine, cocktails, and even fun seasonal options. I had the pineapple margarita (so good), my boyfriend had a glass of wine and an espresso martini, and my friend stuck with wine. Everyone was happy. This place is also a longtime neighborhood favorite, my boyfriend is 31 and has been coming here since he was a kid, which says a lot about how consistently great it is. Overall, Graziella's is one of those reliable local gems where the food, drinks, and atmosphere all line up perfectly. Definitely recommend for date nights, friend groups, or honestly any night you just want good pizza and good vibes.

    Burrata fried .
    Gab T.

    Ordered the Fried burrata with Panko breaded Burrata, fried & topped w/ spicy Vodka sauce & topped w/ crispy Prosciutto And Pork chop Milanese- emotionality Thinly pounded breaded pork chop topped with arugula, shallots & tomatoes in light balsamic dressing. I didn't love it but it was still good. I'm extra picky. I think I'm used to mozzarella sticks which are saltier. I always get the pork Milanese. It is not thin. - not this last time at any rate. But crispy and delicious. I'm not complaining bc I have so many left overs. The salad on top is so good. The vinegar really is perfect for the breaded pork. It's a great neighborhood spot. Friendly energy. Will always go back Also lamb chops are always good. We get those a lot too.

    4.25 Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so great for large parties, dates, friends get together. They also have a cute patio that's on the second floor Service was fantastic Food - baccala cakes: perfectly cooked but a little bland. Next time I'm trying the rice balls - Spicy Roni Cups & Stracciatella: pizza was fantastic and very thin crust. The ingredients were fresh and complemented each other well. Especially the honey. Only downside is the pizza is the thin crust pizza will get cold quickly, so not great for long distances for takeout or in the cold weather. Would definitely go back and recommend if you're in the area.

    The vibes are casual and the food is 12/10. Highly recommend starting with the fried Sicilian rice balls, fried burrata or arugula salad (so clean!). Try the vodka sauce on the side with your chicken parm - you won't be sorry.

    Cappuccino

    My first review for 2026 and my experience at Graziella's is definitely more than 5 stars. They deserve all the praise and recognition. My daughter and I went today for lunch and as we walked through the door we were greeted by Edwin, our host. Edwin is amazing and really made us feel special. They have a great menu and you're going ti be happy with whatever you choose. We ordered the fried calamari, Ceasar salad, penne alla vodka with crispy prosciutto, and the shrimp scampi with spaghetti. I can't express enough how happy we were with our choices. Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The calamari was lightly coated and crispy, the Ceasar salad was enough to share and our main entrees were also a generous portion. The pasta cooked al denté and the garlic in the scampi was heaven on a plate. They do also make their own desserts in house but we were too full to think about dessert. I did also order a cappuccino and that was amazing. The atmosphere is very pleasant and welcoming. There's a bar as you enter and the dining tables are in the back. Very spacious. They do have outdoor dining which is covered so that's great and I noticed they also have a space on the roof for the warmer weather. By the time we left I told Edwin we are best friends. Oh, forgot to mention...It's not on the menu but I asked for a French 75. Edwin said he would make it even though I insisted he didn't have to. I'm so glad he did because it was perfect. The service is impeccable and I can't wait to go back. I highly recommend Graziella's and when you go, tell Edwin I sent you.

    Squid ink pasta with seafood and spicy tomato sauce. So so so yummy!!!
    karen b.

    Perfection thy name is Graziella. This is the place you can come where everyone can order their favorite thing and it be spectacular. We had the special appetizers of short rib arancini and fried artichokes and they were superb. Perfectly seasoned and oh so crispy. I ordered their squid ink pasta and it did not disappoint- such tender shrimp and lobster and so much of it!! This place is so perfect for families without screaming family friendly. My kids devoured their meatballs and rigatoni and the server was so sweet and accommodating. Even though we live in Queens we will be going back- especially for the Nutella cannoli!

    Looking for a great dining experience and delicious Italian food? Well look no further because Graziella's is a must try restaurant for Italian food lovers. I treated my mom to lunch and I was extremely happy; the food was cooked to perfection, and the Shrimp Scampi was the best Shrimp Scampi I've ever eaten! The service was amazing, the staff were welcoming, friendly and made you feel right at home. Graziella's is spacious and has a chill vibe. Overall, I would definitely come back and highly recommend everyone to try Graziella's!

    Graziella's has always been special to me. I've been coming here since I was a little girl, and now I get to bring my own children here, which makes it even more meaningful. The food is always delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The service is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels like home. It's more than just a restaurant -- it's a place full of memories. I highly recommend Graziella's to anyone looking for great food and a family-friendly experience.

    Stuffed Shrimp
    Lorian T.

    Reasonable pricing, kind folks, and the food is not bad! They have a wide range of choices - great for groups if everyone wants a variety of foods! Got the flounder, stuffed shrimp, calamari, mussels (huge), stuffed salmon, and chicken parm. Stop by!

    I am ashamed to say I eat here entirely too much. I love this place. The decor is cute and the place is super cozy. The food is always good quality and their bartender Juliette is truly amazing. Her drinks are a form of art lol I'd come there just for the cocktails but the food is too good to pass up. I highlyy recommend trying this place.

    Ultra thin pizza slices w fresh mozzarella.  Yummy
    Lawrence C.

    Established in 2004 and known for their ultra thin pies, this place takes its time to make quality dishes. I only had take out pizza and calzones. The calzones are two to three times the size of typical ones. I'm not usually a calzone fan, but these are the best tasting calzones that I've tried. The dough of the calzone is delicious, has halves if cherry tomatoes and garlic slices. Delicious meatballs. Must try.

    The overall experience was lackluster. I would consider going back to give them another chance and try the pasta, but I wouldn't get pizza from here again. -The positive: unpretentious atmosphere, your local neighborhood Italian restaurant with an open pizza kitchen and Tonka trucks on the wall, which was fun and unique. -The negative: Our pizza was lukewarm when it was delivered to the table. The layer of cheese was sparse. For $27, it was pretty small. The two of us easily finished it and we are not normally able to polish off a pizza in one sitting. Our waiter was fine, but on my way out the door, I held the door for a customer on her way in pushing a stroller. One of the wait staff hurriedly cut in front of her to go through the door. I did not feel that was the right thing to do. The staff member wasn't carrying anything heavy or had a reason for the rush that I could see.

Unfortunately this place fell very flat. Leading with what we liked: Their mocktail offerings were good, promising a 0.0% ABV which is hard to come across when mocktails are offered. They serve oysters, which adds to that aphrodisiac experience of the oh so 'wow this is a former brothel!'. The bartenders and servers were fast and very sociable with the more sociable customers. The immediate entrance is very tight, and it was uncomfortable navigating the space. We expected there'd be more seating in the back, which there was, but it was limited and not offered to us until we asked for it. We honestly had no clue where it would be and only asked because of how this place was advertised. While it was comfy once we made our way back there, it was reminiscent of a lounge style bar space that almost any bar could replicate with the right room and budget. We didn't feel as though this hit the spot and were let down by this experience. I'm not sure if I can judge the menu of drinks/ foods as expensive, but we left hungry bc we couldn't justify some of the prices. In addition, I've seen a lot of complaints about the volume of the music: it's definitely loud at the front but a lot lower in that back lounge space. It's as loud as any bar's music level would be, but truth be told we were expecting music that matched the vibe of what was advertised and yes, at a lower volume.

    I've been to this cocktail bar regrettably only twice even though I live (or rather lived upcoming…read moresoon) around the corner. It's classy but not too fancy and has enough space but doesn't get too loud. They have a nice happy hour menu from Tuesday-Friday from 5 to 7 as well as all day on Sundays which has very decent prices such as an $8 old fashioned among other things (see the photo.) the bartenders I've had before have been friendly with some good recommendations. Outside of their wide selection of cocktails which run the gamut of liquors, they have a nice wine selection, a handful of craft beers, and a very small food selection. The first time I was here, I had one drink which was the excellent Star of The Ice Snow for $17 with Iwai 45 whiskey, brie-washed Carpano Antica, Fernet Branca, barrel-aged orange bitters, and sassafras bitters. It had a a bit of bitterness, some sweetness, some spice, and some light mint from the fernet and was a pleasant complex drink and was certainly worth it from the price. The second time I was here was just this evening where I had two drinks. I first went with something that I was thinking of getting the first time which is their outstanding Vivian Darkbloom for $15 with Union mezcal, lime, pineapple, charcoal, Velvet Falernum, and lime bitters. The drink has mild citrusy sweetness as well a bit of smoke from the mezcal and is probably my favorite drink I've had here though the other drink I had the first time gives it stiff competition. I asked the bartender what he recommends and after a small discussion, he said either The Bell Witch (which is a gin and chartreuse cocktail with a strong herbal flavor) or what I went with. Said drink was the Under a Cosmic Cloak for $16 with rhubarb infused rum, Trois Rivieres rum, Smith & Cross rum, yerba mate, lime, grapefruit, and whey. The bartender said that it wouldn't be overly sweet as the rum was milk washed and this was indeed the case with just a mild sweetness and some fruitiness. There was a light herbal flavor otherwise presumably from the mate as well as a light citrus note and overall, it was good though definitely the least complex of the drinks I've tried and probably my least favorite but was definitely not a bad drink. The drinks here are reasonably priced for the quality, the bartenders are friendly, and it is classy but not overbearingly so. I can see why it's popular and I wish I stopped in more.
