grazie ristorante

grazie is such an interesting conundrum. from the outside it looks like an old building not necessarily in a charming way. the interior decor is nothing spectacular. i have been here many times and the food and service is always impeccable. you wouldn't say there is much in the way of "curb appeal" drawing folks in. the menu is very eclectic italian fare but they have most of the staples you would expect. at this point there aren't many things on the menu i've not tried and i can't think of anything i didn't like.

pretty good. enjoyed dinner at grazie last night. super (albeit very loud) band in the bar made it hard to talk, but the music was so good it didn't matter. beet salad was delicious. bistecca steak special was tasty and overpriced. loved the minced garlic/olive oil on bread - yum! will definately go back - just wish they would rethink the menu prices. oh, speaking of menus...seniors ask if there are special menus for a reason - they don't want a lot of food. our server (who was otherwise good) kind of snickered when my dad asked for one and then told him he was a few years too old for a kids menu. this made for an uncomfortable and unnecessary moment.

great server (hannah) entrees ok but a little overpriced. better for the price jn the area. good atmosphere.

not terrible but overpriced. food wasn't too bad but flavorless, cold, bland veggies on the side. i would never choose this place over capri which is right down the street and a million times better and cheaper! or applebees which is right across the street and half the price or less.

good food and service. typical variety of italian food that is prepared very well. if not in the mood for traditional italian, their specials menu usually has a few excellent choices. priced similar to olive garden, but food is much better.

good fried food but not italian.

i was in seattle for work so on one night, we went out for a big team dinner at grazie ristorante . my office is in the burbs so we stuck to the burbs. this place is right next to a taco bell. it was funny because that was the night the news about the taco bell meat broke out. this is a big italian joint, and they have a few restaurants in the seattle suburbs. here's the calamari fritti with lemon garlic aioli and basil pesto aioli. good stuff! this is the roasted prosciutto with fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, and grilled polenta. this was good but it was a bit skimpy on the prosciutto. it was mostly everything else, as you can see. here's c's tortellini gorgonzola. not only is it filled with gorgonzola, it is also in a gorgonzola sauce with basil pesto and pine nuts. he also added chicken breast. here's e's filetto gorgonzola - beef tenderloin medallions pan-seared and finished with a bal

not italian food. grazie ristorante might as well call them selves olive garden. it is not authentic italian food. i understand most of you that you like this place because probably you don't know any better but believe me once you try some authentic italian then you will know where to go. i went there, didn't like the food, the service is good though but if i needed a good service i would also go to applebees... when it comes to restaurants is the food that matters.

from the restaurant to the lounge to the staff to the food, grazie gets it right. if you live in the seattle/eastside area it’s worth the trip.

it's good!!!. my family goes here about once a month. they have good food and great service. all of the servers and the bussers are very helpful, especially when it comes to taking care of my three year old.
i recommend it if you live in bothell.

swell place. i've been going here for years and like it just fine. the menu is fairly simple, pizza and pasta dishes, with some excellent appetizers. the waitstaff is friendly and tends to stay for years--i suppose the trips to italy for the staff are a big factor. i recommend this also as a place to take out of town guests when you aren't real familiar with their eating habits. everyone seems to come up with a dish they enjoy.
