    Very nice food. Server was polite and a nice meal out. I only regret I did not get the opportunity to have the desert I wanted nor did we get offered any espresso or even coffee service Before I knew it we were handed a check to leave :(

    The food, service, ambiance was top notch. The parm-pasta table side dish is delicious and fun! Our server was the best ever. Thank you for the great evening. This particular evening, the food took a while to get out…but they comped a dish and the food was worth the wait. The server was gracious and fun during the wait. Totally worth it.

    A restaurant in trouble. Management of any kind, front or back of the house, was absent. The quality of the food seemed of no concern to our server, who knew little about the menu, and was difficult to understand. I tried the fried artichoke appetizer, which was only partially cooked; when we asked the server if it was supposed to be served luke warm, he didn’t know. Pasta fagioli soup had to be sent back as it was also served tepid at first. Ordered the short rib ravioli; the cubed short rib meat was chewy, the pasta pockets were overcooked, and the gravy lacked any flavor. Each course offered another disappointment, and the only thing the server could/would do was observe that my bank card was the same as his. When Gratzzi closes, it will be because no one cared.

    Food, service and cocktails were all excellent as they always are. However, the restaurant was exceedingly warm on the night we visited. We noticed several other guests fanning themselves when we arrived and shortly after realized why. Perhaps it was a one off HVAC issue on a very hot day. Otherwise, everything was wonderful.

    I was warned by locals that this place was not very good. I really wanted the cheese wheel experience though, so I kept my reservation. I should have listened to the locals. The place was hot, muggy and overall uncomfortable. The cheese wheel experience was not done table side but instead by the front door. The wine list was the most awful one I’ve ever seen (Literally Walgreens wine). It took the server about 10 minutes to even greet the table (in his defense, he was quite busy). The food wasn’t good, one dish too salty and the other bland. I wouldn’t recommend at all.

    We have dined at this restaurant several times and have noticed a decline in service level and food quality. There were four of us in our party, and three ordered the Halibut special. All were overcooked. When ordering we were told that we could substitute pasta for mashed potatoes, only to realize that the pasta we selected was an $8 per person up charge (that was not disclosed to us when ordering). Our friends were upcharged as well for anchovies on their salads (again, not disclosed when ordering). The final insult to us as customers came when we noticed that the check included a surcharge for paying by credit card. This unacceptable "gimmick" of passing on fees for a form of payment your restaurant willingly accepts will result in us not returning. Combined with the other issues noted here, I'm sad to say that this once excellent restaurant is in a state of decline from both service and food quality perspectives.

    Get the bada bing! They come directly to your table with a large cheese wheel and cook it in front of you. Not only is it fun but the dish is delicious. My husband and I did that as an appetizer. House salad was pretty good size, we could have split that too! We also got the short rib risotto which was good. Would love to come back and try more! My only complaint was it was a bit warm in the restaurant but I’m also pregnant so it could have just been me. Service was great!

    Extremely loud - the server literally had to yell the specials. First table sat at had a faulty slant to the underside - so steep a plate would slide off. Had to wait 30 minutes for a new table and waited over 44 mins to even order - felt like we were being punished for the table being faulty. Paid top dollar for ok food - it was close to 10 pm before food arrived and food was just ok.

    I went to this restaurant on a first date. It was 100° outside in St. Petersburg when I was seated I told the waitress it felt warm in here so she put me in the back table where she say it’s cooler when I told her it’s no cooler she informed me the air conditioning is not working And I asked her why didn’t you inform your customers before they come? She said if we did that then no one will come so it’s better that they come and sit in the heat and not come at all. The food was atrocious, the atmosphere is horrible, and the owner should be ashamed of themselves for not canceling people when it’s a steam bath inside the restaurant I highly recommend people not go here.

    Tableside cavatelli was a highlight- fun experience. We ordered it for appetizer. Soup & salad came next, also very good. The rest of the meal from then on went downhill. It took an hour between the soup/salad & the dinner to come out. The place started to get busy, but wasn’t when we arrived. I made 6pm reservations, and then 815pm reservations for afterwards at another establishment. That should have been plenty of time. We had to box up our dinner & leave just to make the next place. Our server ignored us until the food arrived, as if she didn’t want to have to say anything about how or why it was taking so long. Before then, she had been delightful. I was disappointed by the end.
