I admit to being difficult to please and was put off by the servers refusal to give me a larger glass of ice water insisting he'd keep my glass full. To my shock this server magically succeeded at his promise and delivered superbly throughout this wonderful meal. The simple olive oil on the table for the bread is so rich and wonderful that I've searched far and wide to find something similar for my own kitchen. The rest of the meal from appetizer, to main course, to desert was absolutely incredible. This restaurant deserves all the praise it gives and those who refuse to give it a 4 star or greater must simply be bitter, confused about the restaurant they were eating in, or there on the night the chef's mother died. One thing for sure plan for a wait in this simple looking Italian restaurant--the number of patrons says it all about the success of consistently good food and service at Grazie Ristorante.
