Get the meatballs and some garlic bread as your appetizers; don’t even think it over! This is our favorite Italian place in town—not sure why more people haven’t discovered it.

Had a pizza and Greek salad. The pizza was good with a good amount of toppings. Not impressed with the salad…way too much dressing and not enough lettuce.

Wonderful experience for our date night. Reservations were honored. Waitress was attentive. Food was delivered hot, fresh and tasty. The bread pudding desert was so good with a beautiful presentation. Cost was appropriate for this type of restaurant. We will return soon.

We are frequent patrons of Grand Ticino. In recent visits, it has declined in terms of food and service. The menu has been drastically reduced and what they do offer is no different than Olive Garden. The service staff is all new and doesn’t seem to know the menu or be able to recall what dishes have which ingredients. The interior is not being kept up and the previous casual yet upscale ambiance, has faded. We are thankful for the years of good experiences, but will be searching for a new favorite.

The restaurant was a great place to have dinner and be able to hold conversations at your table. Other restaurants are too loud and noisy. Server was very good and attentive. Everyone who had pasta dishes loved them. The spaghetti and meatballs had the latest meatballs I’ve ever seen. I had short ribs with polenta and brussel sprouts. I thought the brussel sprouts would be served along side of short ribs. They were drowning in the sauce of the meal. The polenta was hard to find. Meal was ok.

Service was great! Would like fried fish back on the menu. We ordered the burger. It was great! I’d prefer a different bun but still the best burger out there. The drink Italian sunset was fantastic.

Food was excellent as well as the service. Everyone is always nice and pleasant. Food is always great. You should have a senior menu Or allow old people to order off the child’s menu. We can’t eat the amount we used to be able to and a lot of food gets wasted.
