The food was excellent. Hanger steak -- American wagyu -- was very tender and tasty, ricotta filled ravioli with a marsala-based sauce, meatballs baked in a flavorful marinara sauce, were all excellent. On the downside, our waitress, otherwise cheerful and informative, did NOT tell us about the evening specials. My dining companion, although happy with her dinner selection, said she would have ordered one of the specials instead. (Turns out the specials were on a small piece of paper paper-clipped inside the leatherette front cover of a large menu which contained apparently the lunch menu.) For dessert, while we enjoyed the raspberry (?) filled doughnuts, my pistachio ice cream order was not served. The music -- the urgency of a stream of up-tempo country-blues-rock -- did not fit in an Italian restaurant where you want to relax and dine. Change the channel, already. We sat near the entrance to the covered outdoor seating area, which still had customers after 7 p.m., and were chilled by the draft of cold air sliding through the open door to the patio. We'll return but meanwhile Grata needs to firm up the details: put the dinner menu and the specials in the large leatherette book, switch to Italian music to enhance the ambiance. I don't know what can be done about the outdoor seating area at night if customers are still in the room; but close the door to keep the chill out.

There were only two Italian red wines...and this is an Italian restaurant! The risotto balls were good, but I had to pay for bread. And then the entre arrived. The sauce was thick and the pasta was in a clump. I could eat only a small amount because the sauce was so dense and pasty. Probably won't return soon. There are better Italian options in the area. Very disappointing since it was my birthday and I wanted a special meal. It was not.

I was outside. I think you should lose the plastic geometric Christmas balls on the railing. I told the waitress that and she thinks they're really cool. But come on, get creative and put something really awesome there that people would admire. The rice balls appetizer is pretty boring tasting. Put a little spice on the inside and maybe even the outside. The flourless chocolate cake was way way good.

Ordered the Short Ribs Lasagna. It was a decent size but a bit too salty. We were seated outside which is noisy between other diners and traffic on Windsor Road. We were there on Memorial Day, and the place was surprisingly busy. They must have been short-staffed because it took a long time to get one of our drink orders delivered as well as placing our food orders.
