Went with my bf and had a delicious meal. He used to go to this restaurant with his family when he was a little boy..so he wanted to try it again in his adult life. This is a family owned and operated restaurant and it shows. The waitress, one of the daughters, was very friendly and very attentive. The food came out so fast and hot! Great food, great atmosphere!
Great laid-back gem offering amazingly affordable homemade dishes. Fabulous service from our waitress, hostess, to our busboy. Delicious, hot, & fresh food! Cleared the plates & had a happy belly! Recommended must try to all locals & visitors alike. Picture perfect photo of shrimp stuffed with crabmeat.
Had pizza at Graziano's last month on our way back from picking up a family member at the Bay Head train station. They were getting ready to close, but were kind enough to still let us come in. The owner and staff could not have been nicer! And the pizza was fabulous! Only sorry that we weren't there earlier as we would love to have tried their other menu items. Next time for sure! Will definitely be back!!
Great first experience! Large menu with excellent choices. Specials were great along with a delicious pizza. Its a BYOB but there is a liquor store right down the street. Nice casual atmosphere. Very clean with excellent service from all. Plenty of parking. Prices were very reasonable. The experience reminded me of a restaurant my family used to frequent in Newark back in the 60's. Worth a try!
Very good food at a reasonable price. But Jeanine with her infectious smile and outgoing personality made the dining experience great! If I wasn’t heading to Texas for the winter, I’d be a regular!
Good spot to get some classic Italian food. Garlic bread was great, penne vodka with fried chicken was delicious, the meat lasagna had great flavors, and the cheesecake tasted homemade!
Had food catered for a X-Mas party all I can say is Marcello did an excellent job all the guests loved he did an awesome job I highly recommend Graziano's.
Pretty good Italian no complaints here. Was a bring your own alcohol. The housemade ranch on the salad was delicious I recommend that one. The bread was pretty good too. I'd go back
Graziano's has always had the comfortable feeling of eating dinner in my Italian Grandmother's kitchen. I've been coming here for almost 20 years and the food and service has always been excellent. They gave the restaurant a make over and it has a much more modern look, but the menu remained.
If you go to Graziano's, you MUST try their Ranch dressing! I don't know what they put in it, but I could eat it by the spoonful.
We ordered traditional dishes - spaghetti and meatballs, chicken francaise, penne al a vodka and they were all excellent.
We don't live in New Jersey anymore, but I'm looking forward to our next visit so we can stop at Graziano's again!
World class Italian food sprinkled with Love. I imagine they are there at the crack of dawn stirring...whether you prefer to call it sauce or gravy, it is absolutely amazing! If you want good food to put you in a good mood this is the place!
The food is fantastic. Every person that works there that we have had wait on us have always been nice, and their service is excellent. This is one of the only places that has steak pizziola.
Editing my post. Graziano's does not serve Steak Pizziola anymore.

NEW UPDATE💥
We are LOVING Grazianos again! SO SO HAPPY. IDK WHAT HAS CHANGED. BUT THE FOOD has been great the last few times. As always the service is also great. So happy to have my favorite little Italian restaurant back☺️😍
Update since reply from Grazianos directly: If I ask to speak to an owner then I become "that" woman. Your service people KNOW what to do in such a situation. She did go into the back and spoke with others. Why is it MY responsibility to get it right after it was SO wrong?
Given that you actually read the reviews and care about them. Definitely makes me want to give you another chance! Why would I WANT to dislike Grazianos? NEVER! The piece of cheesecake (that's famous around here) she gave me in place was AMAZING, AS IT ALWAYS IS.. Thank you for having the BEST cheesecake in town. Aside from my own pumpkin😉 ❤️
Oh how fast this long running family place has fallen! It's very sad. I've tried multiple times to give them another shot. Well the other night sealed the deal for me. Got take out as they are close to home. Ordered Penne Ala vodka with grilled chicken and a tiramasu for dessert. Now mind you I've been eating there for 20yrs. Even had my engagement dinner there. The vodka sauce was simply NOT vodka sauce. It was like a watered down version with thick chunks of tomatoes. Very different than normal. Not unedible just not their true vodka sauce. The salad was actually brown😔. Later on I went to eat the dessert. I put a whole mouth full in and went running to the sink. You get the picture. After brushing my teeth etc. I went back to smell it and almost 🤮 up!! I went back the next night to tell them what had happened. They didn't seem like this was the first they heard this. Again, very sad. She asked what would I like. Another one or my money back. Idk it didn't feel like they really cared that they're serving up rotten food. Sadly no more Grazianos for us. Which is truly heartbreaking if you knew how good it was!!
