This is Brooklyn!!!! I always have a great experience when I come to this neighborhood Gem! As soon as you walk in the door the staff makes you feel like family and Vito the owner always stops by my table to make sure everything is going well. The multiple gelato flavors and dessert is what you see on your left as you walk in followed by the amazing bar staff. The hostess on your right always greets you with a smile and is happy that you came for Authentic Italiano food and you can smell the amazing Aroma as soon as you walk in. As your being seated towards the back of the restaurant you see pizza being prepared in a wood burning oven and I must say the pizza is to die for. Every customer at their table is displaying smiles as they indulge in the super flavorful Italiano cuisines at Graziella's!! This restaurant should be on your top list to visit when in Brooklyn. Thank you Vito for feeding the neighborhood for so many years and keeping the food, service and conversation top notch!! read more

I've been here twice now and I love the fooood. The calamari and eggplant parm have been amazing. Maybe I'll try other stuff on my next visits, but they do it so well! When I first went with my bf it wasn't as busy which was nice but the second time we were seated between two other couples so it can get a little close, but other than that the food and drinks are excellent and reasonably priced. read more

The ambiance is good. If you're looking for a quiet lunch date or family friendly atmosphere it serves both. Just be sure to go at the right times. The food was okay. I would rate these two dishes a 5/10. I would like to go back and try the pizza in my next visit. It seemed like the most popular on the menu. The service was decent. They kind of started rushing us and always picking up things on the table in the midst of us eating which was a turn off. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. read more

We ordered food from here on one weeknight last week. I'd been thinking about trying this place for awhile and thought the food was good. It wasn't amazing though, and tasted a bit oily. I had the stuffed shrimp with crab, which tasted rich and buttery. The fried calamari was crisp and fresh. The pizza that my husband got with sausage was also good, but not as good as other pizza places in NYC. I wouldn't mind getting delivery from this place again, but only if my husband really wanted to - all in all, the food was fine, but there are definitely a lot of better options. read more

Great vibes, fantastic pizza and awesome owner. Owner let us in 30 mins before closing and allowed us to sneak in a final order. Classic 10/10 BK pizza. Cant recommend enough. read more

I discovered this Italian restaurant {only a few blocks away from home} when a few friends who came over ordered delivery from here. Although I didn't get anything that night, I was able to try the blue crab ravioli, salmon with vegetables, and margherita pizza with extra basil. That blue crab ravioli in butter sauce was amazing... The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, the crab filling was well seasoned and bursting with flavor, and the sauce was rich and delicious! I thought the salmon was pretty good, but the vegetables were kind of bland. The pizza was very thin, which is not my preference, but the tomato sauce and mozzarella were really tasty together. They definitely skimped out on the basil though. The "extra" basil was just a large basil leaf in the center of the pie, which doesn't equate to "extra" in my book. A few weeks later, I decided to order delivery from this place for myself, and selected the shrimp oreganata, as well as the half rack of lamb with garlic oil pasta. I enjoyed the shrimp oreganata, which is baked shrimp topped with garlic, olive oil, and bread crumbs. This was absolutely wonderful. The shrimp was a decent size and quite juicy, with a satisfying slight crisp. All the seasonings mingled together beautifully. The rack of lamb were New Zealand lamb chops grilled with a scrumptious medley of herbs, including rosemary, thyme, fresh basil, and more. The lamb was extremely tender, succulent, and there was plenty of robust savory sauce to ensure that each piece of meat had great flavor. The accompanying pasta was not the best. There wasn't enough garlic flavor from the garlic oil, so the pasta was pretty tasteless. I visited the restaurant to see what the ambiance was like and ordered take out. There was a warm and rustic feel. The host and bartender who took my order were very nice. This time, I chose the half order of Calamari, as well as the 4 Cheese and Pear Fiocchi Pasta. The Calamari was very lightly fried, so it wasn't crispy enough for me. It was also too chewy for my tastes. I did enjoy the 4 Cheese and Pear Fiocchi, which was served with a very rich, creamy, flavorful Gorgonzola sauce and candied walnuts. The 4 cheese and pear filling was in purse-like pieces of pasta, and cooked to just the right consistency, which was very soft and silky smooth. The dish was full of great seasoning and I really enjoyed the crunchy sweet candied walnuts. I would be open to returning to try the Sicilian Rice Balls, Pork Chop and other Pasta dishes. read more

Great food and an extensive menu. Easily the best pizza in Clinton Hill/Fort Greene area. I had a graduation party here and was very pleased with the service. I would highly recommend Graziella's for a casual event, the variety of options throughout the menu assures that all of your guests will be happy. I miss living nearby and being able to just pop in. read more

I was a little hesitant when I first came here for a takeout order but the cacio e pepe stuffed gnocchi blew my mind. It's creamy, peppery and oh so delicious. I savored every flavorful bite and wished I had ordered two of these! It's THAT GOOD. I've been back a few times and the quality of food here has always been fantastic. Pizza was impeccable and you bet, I ordered my favorite stuffed gnocchi dish. Give this no frill Italian restaurant a try - you will be hooked! read more

We came here the day after Valentine's Day. The service was very nice - they were apologetic that they ran out of the bottle of wine we wanted on Valentine's day and even gave us mini cannolis they said they had leftover from Vday. We had chicken Parm and stuffed gnocchi. I've never had such giant gnocchi in my life! It was all very good. The gnocchi sauce was especially notable, as it was similar to a cacio e pepe sauce - which I am very picky about, and I loved it. We will definitely be back - I'm excited to try one of their gorgonzola sauces. read more

Coming through day long presentations our crew needed some sustenance to maintain our focus. Luckily this beautiful place is located near us so we ordered some of their classics. The dough is so light and yet crispy with the right amount of doughy-ness. The toppings especially the pepperoni and sausage taste exactly like that: the pure essence of meat. Not super preserved or grocery store level quality. This is the real deal. We had the pizza for takeout but I can only imagine how amazing it is in store! Keeping churning out great 'za! read more

If I want pizza, I have discovered that this is one of the BEST spaces in Brooklyn. I lived and loved Saraghina for years but, the toppings were ALWAYS an issue and if you asked for extra it was like buying another pie. Enter Graziella's the toppings are over flowing and the pizza is good and I don't mind paying for it. It has taken me a solid two years ti write this. I have had all the red pies and white. I have not found one that I have a problem with. This space is solid for PIZZA and a glass of wine A great piece of Brooklyn History also. You get the real old feel when you go in and the space is clean and nice. Staff is AMAZING super NiCE all the time. No one is Pretentious Favorite read more

This place has my favorite chicken parm and the reason for 5 stars. It's a generous portion of chicken and manages to not be soggy even though it's covered in cheese and sauce. My partner got the meatball pizza and said it was also great. Service was fast and warm, there's complimentary bread before the food comes. Overall a staple in my regular rotation. read more

Stopped by for takeout on a Friday night and the place was poppin. Super busy out front and inside. Can't comment much on their vibe because I just popped in and left. I was however a bit disappointed that I showed up on time and my order was just kinda sitting on the counter (no text or anything for order ready, post pandemic come on). Food: 1. Meatballs were the highlight of the dish for me. They were slightly over cooked, making them a bit dry but the sauce was very flavorful and helped restore some moisture. The meatballs themself were well flavored, very herbaceous which I enjoyed. Would give em a 4/5. 2. Anchovy pizza - 3/5 didn't hold up on takeout. The supposed to be crispy crust was a bit soggy and the crispness was lost. You could see it was probably cooked correctly but just didn't make it in the box, I imagine it would be better on dine in. Anchovies were really good; perfect amount of fish to salt/umami (not overly salty) and great combination. I think it was a decent pizza just missing the wow factor for me. I'd probably come back and try some other dishes and/or fresh pizza to see what the rave is about. read more

I've ordered lunch in from here a few times and delivery has been reliable and fast. We usually order paninis and they've been great - the ingredients are fresh, the bread is toasty and all the paninis come with nice little side salads. Often, when I ordered paninis from other places by the time it gets to me it's greasy and falling apart, not so with Graziella's. This is a solid delivery spot - I've gotta try the pizza. read more

Simply put, one of the loveliest and homiest restaurants I've been to so far in the city. The hospitality, service, extensive menu, and ambiance all make for it's well-deserved five stars. Two friends and I were starving after a comedy show in Buschwick and looking for a sit down place to enjoy some pizza. After calling 10 spots, Graziella's answered warmly saying they would gladly accept us at 10 PM at night on a Sunday night. The same man was waiting at the front desk when we got there and warmly welcomed us in. At Graziella's, you'll see a group of friends enjoying a birthday, a couple enjoying a bottle of wine, a single youngster working on his laptop while enjoying a plate of pasta. It seems like a place that could serve anyone for what they needed in that moment. The menu had all the standard fare of pizzas, pastas, and salads but has a number of specials that don't usually pop up in standard Italian restaurants. Most items range from $18-$25 but can easily be shared. Between the three of us, we ordered a margarita pizza, cacio y pepe stuffed gnocchi in an almond and cheese cream sauce, and a side of roasted red peppers. The total bill rang to about $60 with tip. The pizza was delicious and I preferred the mass spread of cheese instead of dallops like it's usually served. The gnocchi was delicious, but definitely on the heavy side. 2 of these and you may feel knocked out. All in all, I'd easily recommend this as one of my favorite local spots in Forte Greene. Such a lovely place with wonderful hospitality. read more

I want to love this place, and did actually eat here when I wasn't gluten free and it was fine. However, their gluten free pizza is awful. Like cardboard, or Socca on a bad day. They advertise many different gluten free pizzas, but if the base isn't good to start, then it ruins everything. Would recommend sottacasa in bk or simo in the city for gluten free instead. Please note this has nothing to do with their staff or restaurant, I got take-away, but this is a sorry excuse for a gluten free option. read more

One of my FAVORITE pizza spots in NYC!!! The pepperoni pizza is perfect. I've been eating pizza from this restaurant for over 10 years. It has always been consistently delicious and my friends all agree. Not a huge fan of their food outside of their pizza though. I came here with a friend and got pasta and mussels. We were pretty underwhelmed. They have a cute seasonal frozen drink that was pretty tasty and you get to choose which type of liquor you want in it. There's an indoor, outdoor, and rooftop seating area. read more

Came here for dinner. Booked a rooftop reservation on Resy. Pretty smooth booking process. For appetizer, we got calamari. The calamari was okay. A bit on the salty side and overall very plain. For main entree, we ordered chicken parm with spaghetti, penne alla vodka with grilled shrimp. The chicken parm breading was not crispy at all, the feeling of when chicken is too moist and gets saggy. The pasta for both dishes tasted like Barilla boxed pasta and not fresh at all. The penne alla vodka sauce was at least pretty good. And the shrimp was tasty as well. However, for the price of dinner, we expected a lot higher quality. Overall, decent overall experience. Food was not great nor horrible. Everything was just average. read more

Awesome waiter. He was really friendly. The food took a little longer than is usual maybe but they only have 1 oven and that's part of the charm. It's good pizza good calzones. The oven is hot.

We went here for lunch and it was delicious. The portions were generous and I was surprised that the food was so fresh and freshly prepared even though it was New Year's Day. My only complaint is that I ordered eggplant parmesan and I was not crazy about the way it was prepared. Instead of being stacked with cheese and tomato sauce, the eggplant slices were shingled like a deck of cards and the cheese was melted on top. As a result, many of the eggplant slices were only half covered with cheese. The only tomato sauce was on the spaghetti. My friend ordered the pork chop Milanese which was a generous portion and my other friend ordered the pasta Norma which was plentiful and looked delicious also. In all, I would say this was a successful outing and I would go back and try other dishes. read more

I live in Jersey City Heights, and my guy and I decided to have date night in BK (where he lives). I picked Graziella's because of the reviews and I want vodka sauce. So, I drive flippin FIFTY FIVE MINUTES in rush hour WITH THESE GAS PRICES....to Graziella's . I find parking immediately (it is 6pm at this time) and when I walk in, there are 2 professional and customer friendly hostesses standing behind the counter. You would think I was friends with them since elementary school, they were so happy to see us. I was immediately happy. One of the women tole me I am beautiful.. so we are ALREADY at a 27 out of 5 stars. Only wamp wamp is there is only one bathroom.. the thing is - no one goes to the bathroom here, because I never had to wait for it. So.. it is not that bad. TO THE FOOD! I got the vodka penne with seared shrimp. When I say I died, went to heaven and gave God a taste (not the whole thing, because I was hungry)!?!?! Zero exaggeration. SO FLIPPIN GOOD!!! The shrimp were plump and cooked perfectly, the penne was an excellent firmness. And the sauce?!?!?! I can't even. Ya'll.. This flippin sauce is... You know when you scratch a mosquito bite and your eyes roll in the back of your head? And you are all "Ohh....effin..yeahh?" THAT - times a million. Everyone is going crazy over this dish and now I see why. That sauce is perfection. Even God was like "Even I cannot remake this." then he asked for more, and I was like "Grubhub, dude"! The tables were bussed quickly after each course (We had the mussels in white sauce- yumm. Fennel salad which my date liked a lot, I forgot I do not like fennel, so that is my fault). Stephanie was our waitress, but all of the staff helped each other so well, we wanted and waited for NOTHING! The pace of the entrée after the app was great. They gave us a moment to enjoy and rest before din din. They did not put food on food on food. Kenny was managing. It was great to see him work with the crew. He was not a manager who pointed and yelled "why is this drink here and not on table 45!?!?!" He was helping the hostess, running food and when I left, he was behind the bar. The whole vibe, the food, the customer service, the cooperation!?!?!? SEVENTY THREE AND A HALF OUT OF 5 STARS! EVERYONE GO TO HERE! (but not when I am there, I don't like crowds) In conclusion: I will drive an hour and half every other Thursday for date night until I go through the entire menu twice. Which will take forever because I am a Virgo and will probably order the same damn thing every time*. *I will ask (make) my date to order something different every time. read more

First of all, it comes as no surprise to me that any of the rare 1-3 star reviews below are all from non-native New Yorkers/Tri-State Area folks. Y'all don't know what real Italian food is, so please relax. Second of all, this place is so perfect it just makes me and my husband furious. We have ordered takeout from this joint a few times (each time was incredibly delicious, and we've ordered pizzas and pastas) and today we finally checked it out in person. WELL WELL WELL WAS IT INCREDIBLE. The hostess and the entire staff are some of the world's kindest, warmest, and incredibly attentive people you will ever meet. The restaurant itself is a classic family style low key kind of Italian restaurant - the kind of spot that is excellent for family dinner (both the casual and celebratory kind), date night, hangs, and anything in between. The food was incredible. As I've said, I'm a native New Yorker, so Italian is a dime a dozen, but there are places that are far more memorable than others and let me tell you that this spot is a gem. We ordered the calamari, chicken parm with penne vodka, and the incredible 4-cheese pear pasta purses with candied walnuts, as well as a cappuccino and a lava cake. Y'all, it was all so good I practically cried into our meal. Never in my life had I ever had penne vodka sauce or cream sauce or any sort of pasta purse with such a flavor that was unbelievable. Nothing is salty, sweet, or acidic - all of the flavors and preparations taste like how real food should taste: FRESH. Anyway, if you're looking to have your mind blown, please go here. Immediately. read more
