We came by for dinner at 8:30 PM on a Saturday, and the place was packed! We stopped next door at…read morethe liquor store for a bottle of wine since it is BYOB, and were seated just before the time of our reservation. While our order was taken quickly, the food came out very slowly - and to their credit, the waitress came over to apologize a couple of times for how backed up they were. We started off with the bruschetta which was good (though could have used a little more time to marinate the flavors together). I had the chicken parm which was absolutely delicious and cooked well, flavored to perfection, and a fairly large portion. My girlfriend had the shrimp risotto and her only complaint was that the shrimp were relatively flavorless as if they had been boiled and just added to the risotto at the last moment before service. All in all though, an excellent meal with an excellent soundtrack playing in the background!

They also gave us a limoncello shot! Enjoyed absolutely everything!! It's byob which is a terrific option. All the employees were extremely helpful and we also got to meet the owner/chef. Very elegant and comfortable seating. Wonderful evening!

This is generally a wonderful restaurant with interesting dishes and fabulous service, but this…read moreevening was a disappointment. The veal Valdostana was somewhat tough, and when I asked for whipped garlic potatoes as opposed to the roasted potatoes, I was still served the roasted potatoes. I did mention it to the server and was brought a side order of the whipped garlic potatoes which was appreciated. What ruined the evening was a table of individuals who were exceptionally loud. They were obviously overly intoxicated and in any other establishment would have been quieted or asked to leave, but the management just allowed their behavior continue to the consternation of other diners. It is for this reason that I am sure it will be a long time before I ever visit this establishment again.

My sister and I came here for dinner on a Sunday at 6 pm. We made reservations a few days in…read moreadvance online through Resy. Reservations seem highly recommended because it seems most people came here with one. It's fine dining (price-wise - very reasonable for fine dining). It's also BYOB -- like the name says. I loved every moment of this. Service was very attentive and professional. I did feel worried that I was a bit underdressed because I had tennis shoes on, but it was not an issue. It is not a huge restaurant, but it's elegant and definitely meant more as a special night out than a casual spot. If you are looking for seafood options, look no further than here. If you want to impress someone, take them here. Now, onto the food. The bread is complimentary and we ate it all (along with our refill). The butter was freshly made, I believe. I had the winter prix fixe menu and my sister ordered à la carte. Their prix fixe and tasting menus tend to change quite often so it'll always be interesting. My sister ordered the Spanish octopus (1st course) and the Scottish Salmon. I had some of her octopus and salmon. They were both such well-made dishes. We would definitely order the octopus again. Chewy and delicate. I had the arancini, fra diavolo, and the chocolate tart. It was absolutely delicious. The arancini were small, but it was still well filled with tiny bites of clam. The fra diavolo was also very good and filling. Plenty of seafood to go around in that dish. Spicy too, which I like. At the end, we shared a chocolate tart -- and I must say, we were already full at this point. The chocolate was rich and the pistachio ice cream was perfect. We will definitely be back.

Grana was easily one of our best meals in Cape May, a restaurant that gets most of the important…read morethings right. We started with the caprese salad, which was fresh and exactly what you want from a starter, followed by the summer corn soup, which was comforting without feeling heavy. The standout was the special New York strip. It arrived beautifully cooked, tender and flavorful. Service was equally strong by being attentive without being overbearing. The one misstep was the rigatoni, essentially a truffle mac and cheese with mushrooms and shaved truffles. On paper, it sounded promising, especially paired with a steak. In practice, it was overwhelmed by garlic to the point that the garlic eclipsed nearly everything else. There was also surprisingly little rigatoni pasta; the dish was dominated by mushrooms. We wouldn't order the pasta again, but that's a relatively minor complaint for an otherwise excellent meal. Grana is absolutely worth a return visit and there's plenty on the menu that we'd happily order again. It gets a relatively older crowd, but I don't mind if that food is good.

My process of placing a catering order was an absolute nightmare…read more In total, I had to call 5 times over 3 separate days to place the order. I was unfortunate enough to be "helped" by Michael. Michael was extremely rude, abrupt and dismissive as I was told I couldn't place a catering order because "he was too busy." After being dismissed on the first attempt, it took two more days before they were not busy enough to take my order. After days of attempts, and being told the restaurant was "very busy" so I had to show up at EXACTLY 5:30 pm to pick up my order, the order was not ready until closer to 6 pm. The food was good, but with such a terrible customer service experience, I will never spend my money at this restaurant again.

Sweet and a touch of earthiness with the whipped pesto on top. It can be a bit loud as the kitchen and dining are all in the same room- it's an old church. But it's part of the charm of the place. Ps Most of the time a byob is annoying but here is so excellent at making sure you have an ice bucket asap when you arrive.

Went last night and was honestly shocked at how good my family's experience was here…read more We were the last people to arrive, as it was pretty late. Everyone we met was really nice, all seemed to have an Italian accent (completely understandable!)... great paintings adorn the wall. Love the way they laid the thin bricks on the wall for decor, too. Bathrooms were clean and functional. The free bread wasn't great but we were glad to have it. Everything else was spectacular. I had an arugula salad that had a really nice oil-lemon dressing. I do wish the menu mentioned the cucumbers.... hate them and had to remove them. My daughter split the Rissotto with my wife. I finished it off. That tasted so awesome. I'm wondering if they used MSG. I also had Eggplant Rolatini, and almost ordered a sediment one (but I ain't no millionaire). They never rushed us out though we were clearly there till closing time. Would definitely return.

We ordered calamari to share as well as the Double Smash Burger, Lobster Roll, and the Blackened Salmon Po Boy. We all enjoyed our food. I typically order the Crab Cake Tacos and I regret not ordering them. The Lobster Roll was tasty but I do not enjoy the lobster salad being chopped up small as it was.
