My husband and I went to Grimaldi's last night and there was a bit of a wait for a table, so we grabbed two seats at the bar. After the bartender Hannah talked to us, we decided to stay there to eat. She was super attentive and really friendly and the bar was actually more quiet than the main restaurant.
We had a bottle of the Layer Cake Primitivo, shared a salad and had a pizza with red peppers and meatballs. The pizza (as always) was cooked perfect. Love their thin crust and fresh mozarella.
The manager heard that we had a young baby at home, so he came over to talk about his kids and ours with us. He even comped our dessert! Both he and the bartender were really engaging and fun to talk to without being overbearing. They made our experience a wonderful night out--which is important when you only get one a week!
We've been there with a big group as well, and got our own little dining room that felt like we were all together at someone's home (without having to have someone cook or pick up!).
