***2.5 stars***
This place certainly does not live up to it its local hype! When I worked in the area customers would frequently gush about their amazing meal at Grazie, so after three months of hearing how good everything was I decided to give it a try.
The ambiance was odd... it felt like an upscale restaurant trying too hard to be casual. Waiters were super stiff (but attentive) and wore dress shirts with denim. My first impression was how crowded this place felt and how close together and small the tables were. I felt a bit claustrophobic during the meal and asked to have my bf and I placed at a four seater.
My bf and I both ordered the wine and garlic mussels along with a pasta dish each.
All three dishes were good, but not amazing. For the price I expected something a bit more wow! Speaking of prices... the wine here is absurd! $11 for a 4 oz glass? It wasn't even served in a wine glass, they used wine stubbies :-( Based on my fellow Yelpers I would advise ordering a bottle of wine instead.
I would likely come here again if someone insisted and possibly paid but I wouldn't come here of my own free will.
