    vodka pasta & chicken
    Alyssa G.

    wow. wowowow! I chose Grazie Nonna as my carb load spot before my HYROX race tomorrow and definitely did not regret it. the pasta was PERFECTLY al dente, the vodka sauce had a nice kick to it, the ALFREDO?!?! absolutely delicious! the burrata was so flavorful and the bread remained crunchy throughout the entire meal- never soggy for a second. the waiter was super kind and great- my friends pasta wasn't what she expected and they switched it for a different pasta without question. the low lights and big windows mixed with the delicious pasta created a cozy environment that added to the experience. would DEFINITELY eat here again.

    I visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening with friends. The ambience was decent. However, it was so loud that I couldn't hear the people next to me, including the waitress. Which made for a very interesting experience. It felt like she would just come by and smile at us in the middle of our conversation conversations, and I don't know if she actually asked anything each time she came. The service in general could've been wayy better. We ordered pizza and then pasta and when we asked for a box, we were made to box up our own food and we were just given a huge pizza box that took up 80% of our table and the waitress walked away. I don't know if I was expected to just hold the pizza box while sitting at a small table and trying to eat my pasta, but there was absolutely zero consideration given to where I was supposed to put this large pizza box on this small table when we still had half of our meal coming to the table. The waiter also didn't pay attention to any dietary restrictions or allergies, and offered zero guidance on that. Also, we were told that there was a time limit for where we were sitting despite they're being several tables open the whole time we were there. For the food, I really enjoyed the food- Italian salad, pizza with the hot honey, and Alfredo pasta. But everything else really dampened the experience. If I were to go back, I would either order takeout, eat outside, or come another day when it wasn't so loud, and have a different waiter.

    Came here with a friend before going to see Alanis Morissette live - best experience ever! Who knew the perfect pregame to live music with Grazie Nonna. Perfect ambience! perfect food! perfect location! The food was pretty good - I love an artisan pizza (brick oven in the back)! Calamari was good - nothing crazy! Overall cute place to grab a little Italian bite!

    Meatball Pasta

    We celebrated a friend's birthday at Grazie Nonna, and it couldn't have been a better choice! From the moment we sat down, we had such a wonderful experience. Our server (I believe his name was Anthony) was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, answered all of our questions, and even suggested cocktails based on what we liked. His recommendations for both drinks and food were spot on. He was patient while our group made decisions, attentive throughout the meal, and made the entire experience feel effortless. The food was outstanding. The Caesar salad was honestly one of the best I've had in a long time; fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We had to try the famous Drunken Love pizza, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! We also shared several pasta dishes, with the Cacio e Pepe being the clear favorite at our table. Of course, we couldn't skip dessert. We ordered the cannoli brownie, tiramisu, and cheesecake, and every single one was delicious. The tiramisu was the unanimous winner, but the cannoli brownie deserves a mention! It is incredibly rich and packed with flavor in every bite. Between the amazing food, excellent service, and fun atmosphere, Grazie Nonna made our birthday celebration one to remember. I'll definitely be back and can't wait to try more of the menu!

    Prosciutto cotto
    Reginald A.

    Hands down, the best sandwich in town! Grazie Nonna is a refined restaurant in downtown DC, serving Italian staples from pizza to pasta and more. I (almost) always get the same combo, prosciutto cotto and unsweetened ice tea -- a contender for a last meal! Service is good and the prices are worth the quality, but the restaurant would benefit from a renovation as some chairs are falling apart and tables are wobbly.

    Drunken Love

    Walked over after dinner at shoto and mostly floated into Nonna like a cartoon character lead by their nose. We sat at the outside bar and were helped right away. We ordered: Nonna Ciao - 10/10 - my first time with caffeine in my liquor and that was interesting in a good way. I don't stray too far from a lemon drop so this was a nice change Drunken love pizza - 10/10 - perfectly crispy, cheesy and flavorful. The only complaint I had was that they didn't have any ranch. Service was great and we didn't wait long for our food or drinks. Definitely somewhere I'd visit again.

    Great place with service and food. We got a few drinks and food. Started with an old fashion then a pizza and pasta. Pizza was very good crust was nice and crunchy with good balance on the pizza from savory flavors. We started with the caesar salad and garlic bread. Both had great flavor. The salad had great freshness and the right amount of dressing. The pasta was their take on a Sunday gravy with rich flavors from the short rib and sausage.

    Drunken Love pizza
    Howard F.

    Pricey little Italian joint nestled a little off of L and 15th st. Service is pretty good, and we shared the Drunken Love pizza, which was very tasty, and kind of unexpected since it comes with vodka sauce. I plan to try lunch there again.

    Dropped in for happy hour with a coworker and managed to snag two seats at the bar before the crowds showed up (and boy did they!) The bartenders were very friendly and did their best to provide speedy service despite the crowd. The outdoor bar area is spacious and comfortable. In addition to the bar seats there were quite a few tables available which accommodated a large party while we were there. While we were there mostly for HH drinks, we did try the mozzarella sticks, which were tasty, and the other HH menu items we saw others order looked good. Will visit again next time I'm in the city.

    Il Bruco
    Breanne R.

    I have been dying to try Grazie Nonna for months, so I was excited to finally make it in! The staff were friendly and helpful. I also loved the attention to detail with the decor. My table ordered the Il Bruco pizza (my side without the mushrooms) and the vodka pasta. The pizza was delicious! The onions added the perfect flavor and the crust was perfect! I love a charred but fluffy pizza crust. The vodka pasta, however, was definitely undercooked at first. The manager came out and explained that it is homemade pasta so the texture is different, which is true, but I've had plenty of homemade pasta and this was not that. We cut into the pasta and there was still white inside. I do appreciate the manager for agreeing to send us out a fresh batch. The vodka sauce was okay, but I will definitely be back for the pizza!

    Drunken Love pizza (actual color)
    Patrick F.

    I've eaten here 3 times and I keep meaning to leave a review. Third time is the charm! The place gets busy. And loud. Lots going on. That's part of the charm. Don't walk away if you find a crowd waiting at the door. They'll get you seated. Just give them a second. Or grab a seat at the bar like I did. Or sit on their great outdoor covered patio. The service is great no matter where you're seated. My first try at the famous Drunken Love pizza. I thought the color was a little odd for a pizza, but that's the vodka sauce. And it's delish. The whole thing had a "so that's why it's popular" taste to it. Kind of not like eating pizza, but it is. Overall super solid. Shout out to the bar guys who never stopped moving. Between them and the guys making the pizzas, dinner and a show!

    Joshua R.

    PHENOMENAL!!! The best Italian food I've had in years!! Everything was bursting with flavor and tastes homemade. Service was great. Drinks were delicious. The appetizer was mind blowing and the bread was hot and fresh. A must see when visiting DC!

    This restaurant is perfect for a lovely night out. The dining room side has a smaller space with lovely lighting, and a DJ was playing during our visit here that really gave you that intimate dinner experience. The Drunken Love Pizza seems to be a fan favorite and it did not disappoint, and I absolutely adored the Caesar Salad here as they crumble the croutons and top it off with green onions. Perfect place for date night or catching up with friends and I can't wait to come back.

    Is the patio heated?

    They dont have heat installed but I believe they may put out heat lamps when it's colder

    Is there parking?

    there is paid street parking nearby as well as several parking garages. I suggest reserving a nearby garage spot through spothero if you are going during peak dining hours.

    Are there vegan options?

    No, every dish on their menu has something derived from an animal.

    Do they deliver?

    No we don’t :) yet!

    I Was Craving Pizza & Wanted To Try Something Different For Once. I've Been Hearing About This Spot…read moreFor Years But Never Actually Went... Until Now. Today Was The Day. Street Parking Only & It's Definitely Hit Or Miss. I Got Lucky & Found A Spot, But It Is Metered So Be Prepared To Pay. This Spot Is Literally A "Side Door" Located On The Side Of Scarlet Oak. Super Unique Setup With Cool Lights That Make It Easy To Spot. It's Different From Your Typical Pizza Place, Which I Actually Liked. Since It Was Monday, They Had Half-Off Pizzas If You Dine In & I Had To Take Advantage Of That. CHEESE PIZZA I Ordered A Cheese Pizza & Lemon Water. This Is Detroit-Style Pizza, So Don't Expect New York Style. It's Thick, With A Generous Amount Of Mozzarella Cheese & Tomato Sauce. Honestly, It Almost Felt Like A Cheesy Bread Situation But In A Good Way. The Crust Was Buttery With A Slight Crisp On The Outside & Soft Inside, Which Was The Perfect Balance. The Ingredients Tasted Fresh, & It Was Very Filling. The Size I Got Came With 4 Slices, & Honestly, 2 Slices Was More Than Enough. I'd Definitely Come Back & Bring My Son This Feels Like A Spot He'd Love, Especially If He's Into Breadsticks & Cheesy Pizza. The Staff Was Decent, Though I Didn't Interact Much. The Overall Setup Is Interesting, A Full Restaurant Vibe Inside With This Separate Pizza Concept On The Side. Different, But It Works. I'm Glad I Finally Tried It, Unique Setup, Solid Detroit-Style Pizza, & A Great Deal If You Catch It On The Right Day. Just Have To Be In The Mood For Detroit-Style Pizza.

When we first walked in, the cashier immediately apologized for the long wait times, thanked everyone for their patience, and let us know they were incredibly short staffed with only two people working. Because the tiny interior was already packed, we decided to leave and do some sightseeing first. However, seeing how good the pizza looked we knew we had to come back later that afternoon. There's no negative details in my review. Nothing but positive things and a small recommendation. 1. Staff and Service I really appreciated the cashier's honesty about running behind right off the bat. That allowed us to make an informed choice rather than get frustrated by a long wait. More businesses could learn from this! 2. Restaurant's Layout The inside is a bit tight and busy, but it's located in a smaller older building, so they have no other options. Since they can't expand the inside adding an outdoor pub height counter for eating, a bench or some seating out front would be a great way to give waiting patrons a place to sit. Also a place to eat. 3. The Pizza -The Veggie Pizza: My nephew and I both ordered this, and the slices were massive you'll see in my pics! They were honestly the largest slices I have ever seen! I love pizza and have eaten it in New York and Chicago, and my slice here held its own. It was loaded with a huge variety of vegetables. I requested to put mine through the oven twice to get the veggies warm and cooked because I noticed my nephew's slice looked like a warm salad on crust. So happy I did because it was delicious! The jalapeños were intensely spicy which is on me, since I'm a bit of a lightweight with spice! -The Meat Options: My son got the pepperoni and thought it was really good, and my husband got a supreme slice which he also said was good . 4. Price and pizza size- they're more expensive than a typical slice, but once you see those big ole slices in my pics you'll understand why. They can't even fit on a plate. They had to serve them to you in an actual pizza box! After reading my long review you're trying to find out if I would go back huh? Absolutely! If I ever in the area or stay at the Hilton DC again, I would definitely walk right on over and get a slice. You can feed a family of three on one slice! Adult and two small children!

    Overpriced mocktails, overpriced pizza---don't be duped!…read more It was all right. There was a language barrier with the server. Gave us warm tap water when it's 90+ degrees out but brought out ice when we asked. Other tables were seated and ordered after us and served food before us. Not sure if they just forgot to put in our order or we were struck with bad luck. Basic things you'd expect like extra napkins, a serving spatula for the pizza, and cheese/pepper flakes to be brought before or with the pizza weren't done. The pizza took 35 minutes to come out and certainly wasn't worth the wait. The pizza was plain, unflavorful, floppy as heck, and had a soup-like liquidy consistency, immediately falling apart. The crust was chewy and unappealing. The pizza wasn't worth $33. Gimme a break. The manager walked by 40 times and didn't stop by once to check on us but seemed to check on every other table. I wouldn't come back.
