We love Grimaldis and last night's experience didn't change that! This is the place we go to for pizza in. Admittedly it isn't great takeout or leftover. The consistency among the locations is something you can count on which is awesome! Johnny was our server and was great! When we arrived the dining room was packed but we were seated with no wait. Johnny greeted us with a smile and took our drink order. I ordered a glass of the Ruffino Chianti but also asked for a taste of the house as I was curious of a $4.00 glass. He was very accommodating and with a smile. Needless to say, I'll stick with the Ruffino. LOL At this time you can see the restaurant is emptying out and servers are bustling around to wrap up with the exception of Johnny who still was waiting on guests. Must be the closer! This is when I noticed an area of service that lacked. Not for us personally but looking around you could see Johnny and one other server running their butts off while others visited in the corner by the bar or where going about their side work duties. No big deal but as a former industry manager myself I really appreciate it when I see teamwork during and after service.
The food is always amazing and we love Grimaldis! We missed getting to visit with Brandon in the bar who is always great but maybe next time. Note: my boyfriend would love to be able to have a Vodka Soda here! Why no liquor??
Keep up the good work Grimaldis Old Town! Yummy!
