Grabbed a steak and cheese via takeout to eat in the rink during a hockey practice. I did an online order and then elevatored down - rink to door was under five minutes. The place was empty and they handed me my sandwich one minute after I arrived. I brought it back to the rink, and it was still piping hot when I ripped into it. So, how was it... it was of good size and the cheese was nicely melted throughout. All ingredients (bread, steak, cheese) were high quality and fresh. Maybe it was too high quality because it didn't capture what I had imagined of a great cheese steak. It was good. It just wasn't magical. I would try it again, maybe go with a different cheese or something. read more

Grazie Grazie - BYO CHEESESTEAK - Italian Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

So many people have hyped up Grazie Grazie that I figured I would give it a shot. Unfortunately, I was not impressed. I got the NYC Bodega which is one of the more popular menu items. The bread was hard despite not being toasted, the chicken cutlet was underseasoned and so was the dressing on the caesar salad. Just a disappointing sandwich. Not sure I'll give this place another chance. read more

Grazie Grazie - NYC BODEGA - Italian Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Across from Ballston Quarter in an open alleyway sits a small retail spot that has once held fast-casual chicken joints and clean-eating vegetarian chains. Now, a Philadelphia-inspired Italian deli is the latest contender. Inside, it's a simple yet stylish decor that doesn't take itself very seriously, with a simple gallon of Deer Park water and a pile of plastic cups left on a counter for those that need H20. Both high-top tables and booths give customers options to sit down or make it a quick stop. Ordering is done via a row of tablets. I got a basic Cheesesteak. This chopped steak ain't chopped. It was served on a soft sesame roll, complete with sharp cheese that was creamy and flavorful. The beef itself was well seasoned, fresh, and hot off the grill. Overall, good food. The prices are a bit high if you ask me, but you won't be disappointed with your hoagie. read more

Absolutely delicious!! The is first location I tried and it was a good gamble! Their pizza is my favorite in the area, and little did i know, they are affiliated with Grazie Nonna. They also serve a variety of sub sandwiches, salads, and risotto balls (which are also delicious) and mozzarella sticks. Try to catch their BOGO deals on uber eats. Highly recommend! read more

Incredible spot! Friendly staff, HUGE pizzas and OG philly steaks. My doc said I can only eat here once a day :P

I saw this spot and got excited about an Italian sandwich but I'm thinking now maybe that isn't their speciality. I will certainly have to go back and try and cheesesteak but personally, the bread was a bit too hard for a nice cold Italian. The fries were certainly not for me, that isn't to say they're bad but I wouldn't want seasoning on them. The service, on the other hand, was fast and very helpful despite a lunchtime rush. I plan to make another run and update to give this a place a more fair shake so take my current rating with a grain of salt. read more

Brought my family here for dinner. We ordered the drunken love. I found it a bit odd that they just dumped the sauce on the top of the pizza, it made it quite messy and wasn't what was presented in the pictures on the menu. It was super tasty though, i would order again but ask them to put the sauce on the pizza first. We also ordered the risotto balls and mozzarella cubes, both delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the Retzo sandwich we shared. All of the flavors were there but the bread was pretty thick and hard. We also received the sandwich like 20 minutes before everything else so it was cold before we got our other food. Overall, would return for the Pizza but likely not the sandwiches. Truthfully the sandwiches are slightly overpriced at $16 each in my opinion. As far as service goes, it is sometimes difficult to get here attention if you need anything, you order straight from an IPad. read more

I was so excited to try out this spot but was immediately put off by the prices. After tax, it's like $16.50 for less than a foot long, and $24 for a pizza (though the pizza is on the large side). I decided to try it anyway and got the vodka saucy sandwich. It was fine, but far too expensive for just a sandwich of that size. Also the chicken cutlet was mostly breading. I'd recommend exploring other options - there's (slightly) cheaper in that area. read more

Sandwich was good AF. Sooooo good. I got extra sauce and it was delightful. Honestly, the sandwich was practically perfect. You get bites of EVERYTHING in every bite. Risotto balks: good, too. Not hyper flavorful but the marinara tastes fresh My only issues are: -Kiosk-only ordering, doesn't seem like they take cash. This also makes modifications challenging. -They were a bit slow and the food came out staggered. I had to actually go ASK for our salad and risotto balls Overall, this is a great grab-and-go lunch spot. It's very casual and while you can eat there, you'd probs have a better time eating outside. You may leave smelling like a sandwich or fried food, though. read more

Let me start by saying that my review is strictly based on what I ordered and there might be some other items offered that hit it out of the park. We ordered the following 1. Mozzarella squares- the breading had red chili pepper flakes, which made it spicy for our toddler and myself. 2. Chicken Caesar sandwich- the dressing wasn't creamy and the chicken also had the same spicy breading as the mozzarella 3. Pizza- the crust was good and thin 4. Garlic Parmesan chicken wings- they were not tossed in the sauce and it was just poured on top didn't seem to have Parmesan 5. Chicken salad sandwich with avocado and bacon- my husband enjoyed it Food was ok but not amazing read more

Grazie Grazie - Garlic Parmesan chicken wings - Italian Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Grazie Grazie recently opened in the Ballston area of Arlington. The space is not huge but big enough for two eating areas and they also have some areas where you can eat out front. My only complaint inside was that it was rather warm with all of the lights and no fans for circulation. I ordered the NYC bodega sandwich which was the Cesar sandwich on a seeded role. There was an option for grilled or breaded chicken cutlet. I went with the grilled chicken. Although the sandwich was cooked perfectly, I thought the cesar dressing was a tad bit overpowering for the sandwich. I was only able to eat half. The waffle fries were cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was fast as I placed my order through the kiosk. read more

The quality of the food wasn't good in my opinion. I got the chicken vodka sandwich and the chicken was tough and the bread was soggy and stale. Cheese was only on one half of the sandwich and the vodka sauce was just okay. For $17 it is definitely not worth it for how poor the quality is. I heard the pizzas are good, maybe I'd try it at a different location. I was skeptical based on the reviews of this place before ordering, but wanted to give it a shot since it's nearby. Would not go back and I strongly believe the food is overpriced for takeout style food. Much better quality options are available at Panera and other places for cheaper. read more

Grazie Nonna is one of my favorite restaurants, so i was so excited to see Grazie Grazie in the neighborhood... Alas it does not carry the 2 best dishes from the DC mothership (the vodka sauce pasta and the drunken love pizza). So, on the positive side: a great menu of pizza, salads and sandwiches. i absolutely love the mozzarella cubes and the marina sauce they are served with is just divine! they have a solid caesar salad and the vokda saucy sandwich gets you closest to the delights of grazie nonna's flavors. that said, the pizzas are good, but not amazing-- my first job ever was making pizza and i just cant nail down what is missing here, like one pizza didnt have enough cheese, the other one had a burnt bottom- both are bummers. the cheesesteaks are-- and i say this to protect all future customers-- disgusting, like i cant tell what was worse, the quality of the meat or the quality of the cheese, it was one big ick. the only positive being the bread. some people say they are too small but i honestly didnt think size was an issue, it was big with a lot inside-- i felt bad throwing out so much food and a $17 cheese steak. last but not least, each time i have been here, it seemed impossible to order from a human- like you either order from a machine or an app- and honestly, i hate that i cant order from a person. read more

A favorite spot with our family and sure am glad this location opened! A lot closer for us than the Wharf location and a lot easier to get to and for parking. This is located across from Ballston Quarter Mall and right next to the Shake Shack. There are kiosk stations for easy ordering and lots of tables to dine-in both indoors and a few outdoors. My go-to cheesesteak sandwich is the Truffle Shuffle and it is delicious! Always prepared fresh and hot off the grille, this is a hearty sandwich! A definite return and next time will try their pizza options! It seems to be quite popular as I noticed many of the orders were for the pizza! Enjoy! read more

I've tried both the sandwiches and pizza at Grazie Grazie and I HIGHLY recommend getting the pizza (and ask for it well done/crispy)! The crust was amazing and overall great quality pizza (coming from a Jersey girl!). The chopped Italian was Meh, definitely wouldn't get that again. The service is good and it's easy to order on the tablets. Seating indoors and outdoors! Casual vibe read more

I have been wanting to try this place for so long and it didn't live up to the hype in my head. We ordered takeout but delivered the sandwiches still held up. The good (but not great): the large caesar was good and I liked the extra avocado but $15 was a bit wild for lettuce, parm crisps, and half an avocado. The spicy vodka parm sandwich had good flavor but wasn't really spicy and the basil wasn't the best. The mediocre: the 8 + 1 was not that great. The bread was super hard and crusty and it could have used a mayo or mustard. The meat was too thickly cut for my liking - I feel like a good italian has a lot but really thin, sliced meat. The provolone was laughable - it look like they sprinkled one piece in chopped up pieces on the whole sub. read more

Came in for lunch, got the Cha Cha, fried chickpea & veg on a sub roll. Good, but hot pepper spread was too spicy. Also way over priced for what you get...$18+... so not worth it. Music was good, but too loud. The industrial, low rent styling was ok... but paint buckets under the seats? No, uncool. Decor was ok, but not that interesting. Service was counter style clerk shoving an order at you in a deli basket. I think they grunted "here" at me. So unless they lower prices or add a "meal deal" with a soda, this place won't last that long. Decent food, but not worth it. read more

Grazie Grazie Ballston was bustling on recent Friday evening - the takeout/online orders shelf was overflowing, which is generally a good sign! We kiosk ordered Julia's caesar salad, pepperoni pizza, and cheesesteak; certainly couldn't skip that little gem. I've had better pizza, but the salad and sandwich were really delicious and generous - loved the house cheese whiz too. read more

8+1. Basically an italian. Walk in, order on the kiosk, and they'll call your name / text your number. Food was ready quick and there's a water spout too, big plus. The is food is pretty good. Next time i'll try the pizza. A nice addition to the ballston area! read more

Drop in for lunch to give this newly opened place try right around where I worked. The vibe is kind of cool for a modern, fancy take out. The service is amazing quick but order at kiosk so not sure of any serious service besides food. Order the vodka friend chicken sandwich. All the decent ingredient and mix but the chicken was dried and cold. The sauce, greens, and cheese are good stuff. So could be just the one time, the location. So, may stop by but there are a lot of competition around the area for this type of food. $15 is not too expensive but there are cheaper options. read more

I'm so glad Grazie made it to Ballston! This was one of my favorites when I lived in DC. They are very consistent in delivering great Italian/NYC style sandwiches. The sides are decent, they never "wow" me but I usually order delivery so I guess it's hard for delivery fries to be amazing. Anyway, they forgot my fries this time but luckily Uber Eats refunded. I ordered the week or second week they opened so I'm sure they're still busy or figuring things out. Def recommend the NYC bodega sandwich, chicken parm, or new buff chicken. Haven't tried their pizza because they have tough competition with Andy's also opening!! But probably will one day. read more

Welcome to Arlington, Gracie Grazie! They describe themselves as a friendly neighborhood Italian Deli, serving up various starters, salads, sandwiches, cheesesteaks, and fries. We ordered: +Mozzarella Cubes - served with a side of their nonna's marinara +the Hot Rob sandwich - handbreaded chicken with spicy buffalo sauce, blue cheese sauce, lettuce, and pickled onions; this is a limited time only type of a sandwich +the Cha Cha sandwich - with chickpea fritters, lemon tahini, hoagie spread, feta, cucumbers, pickled onions, fresh mint, tomatoes, lettuce, and EVOO +and, the Philly Special cheesesteak sandwich - prepared with grass-fed shaved ribeye, cherry pepper mayo, Cooper sharp cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions; opted out of the applewood smoked bacon I'd like to try the pizzas on the next visit. Staff were friendly, and there were plenty of seats. +friendly service +seating available read more

The music was SOOOOO LOUD that we could not hear when the person at the counter was calling my name. There was a problem with the order, and we paid for the leafy greens in addition to the sandwich, but because the music was SOOO LOUD, the server did not understand that we wanted the sandwich AND the greens. Never got the greens. I asked for the music to be turned down, she couldn't hear me. I couldn't even eat my food. Would not go back there ever again. Would not recommend it either. read more

First time trying Grazie Grazie & it was a hit! I got the vodka parm sandwich. Generous portion of chicken and sauce! I thought it was a really solid sandwhich.

Given the price, I wanted to rate it 4 stars if the cheesesteak was good. But I have to admit it was dynamite. Great quality shaved ribeye, great amount of cheese, and the most important part, the bread, was phenomenal. Will be back. read more

this place is consistently delicious! these reviews about the price are not taking into consideration the quality - this isn't one of those cheap mid-grade chains. I always order pizza from here, both red and white, and they are huge! always fresh and tasty. the brussel sprout salad is good (order an extra dressing if you like saucy). the cheesesteak is also great with the homemade whiz. definitely my go-to for pizza and subs. read more

Came here today which is their 2nd day being open in this location. This place was busy! I liked ordering off the electric monitors so I could look at each thing on the menu and not feel like I'm holding up the line trying to decide. We got the Philly special cheesesteak, bocelli, 2 cokes, and 2 cannolis to split. It total paying I think $68. The cheesesteak had great flavor and really good choice of bread (seeded Italian) though I wish it was like 3" bigger for the price- $17. The pizza was good too though it was missing basil and pretty sure they forgot to make my pizza and took about 40 minutes to get it. $24 for 8 decent sized slices. I've never had a cannoli before but wouldn't get it again... flavor just didn't taste very good to me. My husband said "not the best and not the worst cannoli he's ever had". Those were $10 for 2. Cokes were $7 for 2. Would definitely come back here for the cheesesteak and pizzas if I was in the area. Cheesesteak is not a shareable size. You can share it but you'll wish you hadn't. The truffle chicken cheesesteak actually sounds really good. Next time I'll take some pictures read more

I was looking forward to checking Grazie Grazie out and glad I did. The place is smaller and the seating is more limited so it is more for ordering carry out which is what I did. You also order for a screen then wait for your order or you have the option to order ahead online. We did an online order for a future set time and it was ready right at the time we requested. Seems like they get their orders fulfilled timely. For the sandwiches they were very good! Bread was fresh and soft, flavors were great. I got the Minelli which had good seasoning with a little spicy kick. I am excited to go back and try another sandwich! read more

I came in around 2 p.m. on a Wednesday and the place was empty. I ordered a build-your-own cheesesteak and a Coke for $20, which felt overpriced. The cheesesteak had no flavor, very little meat, and they only offered Dijon instead of yellow mustard. The restaurant wasn't very clean, the tables were sticky, and the staff wasn't welcoming. I've been to Philly many times and this is nowhere near an authentic cheesesteak. Overall, not worth it and I will not be back. read more

I'll start with the good. The service was great and food didn't take too long to get. The food however, was not great. We tried the cheesesteak (which looked great and we were excited about) but it was too greasy and didn't taste nearly as good as it looked. We also tried the pizza, nothing special there. We would not go back. read more

Coming from SoCal and having a buddy of mine moving to this area I did not have high expectations on the food here. My God, the Philly cheesesteak here was amazing! Idk what it's like in Philly, but man this was a pleasant surprise from the bread to the meat, all of it. Sensational. Cost was $20 but well worth it and enjoyed every bite. Found myself staring at the sand which since I enjoyed it so much. Cashiers spoke Spanish which was a nice surprise too read more

Coming from the Jersey Shore, I had really high standards for this place! Unfortunately, when I placed an order, it was for the chicken salad sandwich with bacon and avocado. Well, my order was completely missing the avocado, and the bacon was raw. I tried to explain this to the staff at the front, but they didn't speak English well enough to understand me. I tried to reach out about getting a refund or fixing this, since if you pay for premium toppings, you should receive your premium toppings. The social media manager leaves people on read when they send DMs and ignores all emails. The person running the account saw my comment, ignored it, and chose to never respond. Such a shame, because I was such a huge Taylor Gourmet fan in the past. read more

Hesitant to write a review because the place is already busy enough! It takes a little bit to get your food but it's worth the wait. The seating isnt ideal but luckily most people do take out. They could use some more outdoor seating especially on nice days. The food is ridiculously good. I wish they had more options for sizes like offering 1/2 subs and smaller pizzas because if it's in front of me...I have no choice but to eat it. I usually don't love marinara but this was the best I've ever had. Mozzerella cheese cubes are insane but gotta eat them when they're hot. I will be working my way through the entire menu. read more
