The vibes are casual and the food is 12/10. Highly recommend starting with the fried Sicilian rice balls, fried burrata or arugula salad (so clean!). Try the vodka sauce on the side with your chicken parm - you won't be sorry. read more

We made reservations for a Friday night at 8pm. This place was packed even that late! There were lots of groups and families. I'm glad we had a reservation, though I didn't really see people waiting for a table either. The restaurant is very loud, keep this in mind. It was even louder as the table next to us had about 8 kids and 3 adults. Thankfully they left before our food arrived so the chaos died down a bit. Service was average and could have been a bit more attentive. We were not given the bread and butter upon arrival so I had to ask for it. Our server checked on us and the runners kept our table clean by clearing plates often. I had a glass of Sicilian wine which was so good and sweet. My husband had a cocktail he enjoyed, I think it had apple and Amaro in it. I had the smoked rigatoni in vodka sauce and holy crap it was incredible. I've never had smoked pasta before and it was beyond delicious. My husband had a chicken parm calzone that he loved. We didn't have appetizers or dessert this time around. The place was crowded the whole time and plenty of take out orders were going out too. We don't live in the neighborhood but would certainly come back again to try more dishes. The menu is extensive and I'm excited to try more. read more

Graziella's - Smoked rigatoni - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Graziella's is one of those places that never disappoints. I've been a couple of times now, and every visit has been such a great experience. I went last night with my boyfriend and a friend, and once again we left so happy (and very full!). It's a perfect spot whether you're on a date or coming with a bigger group, they have plenty of space with both an upstairs and downstairs, so it never feels cramped. The vibe is warm and inviting in that classic neighborhood way. The pizza is definitely the star here. We got the Vito and the Mike's Hot Honey pizza, and both were hits. Super flavorful, great crust, and honestly the kind of pizza you think about later. Their drinks are just as good, they have a solid mix of wine, cocktails, and even fun seasonal options. I had the pineapple margarita (so good), my boyfriend had a glass of wine and an espresso martini, and my friend stuck with wine. Everyone was happy. This place is also a longtime neighborhood favorite, my boyfriend is 31 and has been coming here since he was a kid, which says a lot about how consistently great it is. Overall, Graziella's is one of those reliable local gems where the food, drinks, and atmosphere all line up perfectly. Definitely recommend for date nights, friend groups, or honestly any night you just want good pizza and good vibes. read more

Came by for an early dinner. Didn't have reservation but was able to get a table on the enclosed patio. A little lack luster up there compared to the main floor of the dinning room. Service was ok not the best but not horrible either. Chicken Marsala was good but needed salt. Large portion! My friend enjoyed her smoky pasta with meatballs. We both had left overs to take home. read more

Graziella's - Chicken Marsala - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ordered the Fried burrata with Panko breaded Burrata, fried & topped w/ spicy Vodka sauce & topped w/ crispy Prosciutto And Pork chop Milanese- emotionality Thinly pounded breaded pork chop topped with arugula, shallots & tomatoes in light balsamic dressing. I didn't love it but it was still good. I'm extra picky. I think I'm used to mozzarella sticks which are saltier. I always get the pork Milanese. It is not thin. - not this last time at any rate. But crispy and delicious. I'm not complaining bc I have so many left overs. The salad on top is so good. The vinegar really is perfect for the breaded pork. It's a great neighborhood spot. Friendly energy. Will always go back Also lamb chops are always good. We get those a lot too. read more

4.25 Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so great for large parties, dates, friends get together. They also have a cute patio that's on the second floor Service was fantastic Food - baccala cakes: perfectly cooked but a little bland. Next time I'm trying the rice balls - Spicy Roni Cups & Stracciatella: pizza was fantastic and very thin crust. The ingredients were fresh and complemented each other well. Especially the honey. Only downside is the pizza is the thin crust pizza will get cold quickly, so not great for long distances for takeout or in the cold weather. Would definitely go back and recommend if you're in the area. read more

My first review for 2026 and my experience at Graziella's is definitely more than 5 stars. They deserve all the praise and recognition. My daughter and I went today for lunch and as we walked through the door we were greeted by Edwin, our host. Edwin is amazing and really made us feel special. They have a great menu and you're going ti be happy with whatever you choose. We ordered the fried calamari, Ceasar salad, penne alla vodka with crispy prosciutto, and the shrimp scampi with spaghetti. I can't express enough how happy we were with our choices. Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The calamari was lightly coated and crispy, the Ceasar salad was enough to share and our main entrees were also a generous portion. The pasta cooked al denté and the garlic in the scampi was heaven on a plate. They do also make their own desserts in house but we were too full to think about dessert. I did also order a cappuccino and that was amazing. The atmosphere is very pleasant and welcoming. There's a bar as you enter and the dining tables are in the back. Very spacious. They do have outdoor dining which is covered so that's great and I noticed they also have a space on the roof for the warmer weather. By the time we left I told Edwin we are best friends. Oh, forgot to mention...It's not on the menu but I asked for a French 75. Edwin said he would make it even though I insisted he didn't have to. I'm so glad he did because it was perfect. The service is impeccable and I can't wait to go back. I highly recommend Graziella's and when you go, tell Edwin I sent you. read more

This is a fantastic, family-run Italian restaurant located in Clinton Hill. They have recently updated their menu with new items, and everything we've tried has been delicious. If you have kids or are planning a party, this place is one of the best for accommodating families and larger groups. Good news for those looking for a date night: they have a rooftop patio where you won't find a lot of children, making it perfect for a romantic evening out. The family running this restaurant genuinely cares for their customers and has always taken great care of us over the years since we had our little ones. I can't say enough positive things about this spot! read more

Perfection thy name is Graziella. This is the place you can come where everyone can order their favorite thing and it be spectacular. We had the special appetizers of short rib arancini and fried artichokes and they were superb. Perfectly seasoned and oh so crispy. I ordered their squid ink pasta and it did not disappoint- such tender shrimp and lobster and so much of it!! This place is so perfect for families without screaming family friendly. My kids devoured their meatballs and rigatoni and the server was so sweet and accommodating. Even though we live in Queens we will be going back- especially for the Nutella cannoli! read more

Holy cow I am eating this right now (specifically the vodka fettuccine with grilled chicken and meatballs and also a chicken parm) and wow. It is divine. Please do yourself a favor and eat this. Tears in my eyes. The vodka sauce has a real je-ne-sais-quoi. Freaking awesome read more

Authentic Italian restaurant. It gets packed and loud, that only adds the Italian charm. It's a big space but tables are very close to each other and the way waiters navigate through it without disturbing patrons is impressive. Service was on a slower side. A lot of families with kids, group celebrations, diverse crowd of all ages. Everyone is friendly, very homie atmosphere. We tried few things on the menu but mushroom ravioli is the best I've ever tried! Creamy, reach in flavor, perfect ration of dough/ filling/ sauce , it was amazing. Pizza was good and fresh. Least liked was Antipasto Toscano, was sad looking, small size, meats were not to our liking. I'm definitely coming back and recommending this restaurant for food alone. read more

Stopped here on our way to fort Greene park, and the pizza and service are fantastic! We got veggie and buffalo mozzarella margherita pie and while we ate most of it that night, even the leftovers were great the next day. read more

Established in 2004 and known for their ultra thin pies, this place takes its time to make quality dishes. I only had take out pizza and calzones. The calzones are two to three times the size of typical ones. I'm not usually a calzone fan, but these are the best tasting calzones that I've tried. The dough of the calzone is delicious, has halves if cherry tomatoes and garlic slices. Delicious meatballs. Must try. read more

The overall experience was lackluster. I would consider going back to give them another chance and try the pasta, but I wouldn't get pizza from here again. -The positive: unpretentious atmosphere, your local neighborhood Italian restaurant with an open pizza kitchen and Tonka trucks on the wall, which was fun and unique. -The negative: Our pizza was lukewarm when it was delivered to the table. The layer of cheese was sparse. For $27, it was pretty small. The two of us easily finished it and we are not normally able to polish off a pizza in one sitting. Our waiter was fine, but on my way out the door, I held the door for a customer on her way in pushing a stroller. One of the wait staff hurriedly cut in front of her to go through the door. I did not feel that was the right thing to do. The staff member wasn't carrying anything heavy or had a reason for the rush that I could see. read more

The pizza here was quite good. I tried the margherita and veggie pizzas. The veggie was definitely the best one, with a nice variety of toppings. The saltiness from the olives and subtle bitterness from broccoli rabe cut nicely through the bright sauce and the cheese. The crust was also nice and crispy. read more

We have eaten here before and always love it... the variety of choices is great and the service is excellent... we plan to go again soon... such a fun atmosphere.... read more

Recently visited NY from Las Vegas and this was by far, our favorite pizza spot, and this including comparing it to John's of Bleecker St. For starters the staff was very welcoming. Our server was very nice the entire time and checked on us consistently. The buzzers were constantly filling our glasses of water and smiling each time they passed us by. The vibe was amazing. There were a few families there and all were laughing making the environment feel even more welcoming. We ordered the pizza with sausage, pepperoni, prosciutto and cherry peppers. Graziellas is probably the best pizza I've ever had. Their sauce was not sweet like most, their mozzarella had a hint of salt which I appreciated because most pizza places have bitter cheese, and their bread was so fluffy and crunchy on the edges. It reminded me of eating hot fresh bread right out of the oven. It tastes like great quality ingredients and super delicious! It was our first restaurant and after that, no other place loved up to our expectorations. It was hard to beat them. This is a place I will definitely recommend and visit again when in NY. read more

Graziella's reminds me of what you see in the movies (everything but the mafia vibe). It's a very Italian style, family friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The service was great. The host accommodated our large group promptly. The waiter was very friendly and serviceable. He made our family feel welcomed and comfortable. It hurts me to say this but I have to be transparent. The food was ok. Out of all the plates that I was able to taste, I feel like their appetizers (calamari and stuffed clams) were the best. Their pizza was pretty good. I wish the crust was a little less soft and more crunchy. But the portions are very nice and the bread baskets are phenomenal. Their choice in wine is also very good. The ambiance is very family friendly. The decor is cozy, makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. They even have a family bathroom! I do recommend Graziella's to families, friends and dates. Maybe that day the food was not spectacular, but everything else made up for it. Next time I visit, I'll update with pictures. read more

Food 5 stars - the food was absolutely delicious I literally went 2 consecutive days. Day 1 I had the sea bass with vegetables and rice which was so flavorful, I wished I ordered 2 plates. Day 2 I had the squid ink sea food pasta which was mouth watering. The portion was enough for two. Service 5 stars Ambiance 5 stars A definite yes to many more returns! (For some reason, the app won't let me post my photos.) read more

Spacious restaurant and bar area. Delicious food and drinks. We were served quickly and nicely.

Wandered into this adorable place this past week and were pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure why we haven't come here sooner. The vibe is warm, old school Brooklyn and the people couldn't be nicer. Food was great, even the gluten free pizzas. Fair prices, fresh ingredients. Really enjoyed ourselves and meeting Vito! read more

If you're looking for authentic Brooklyn Italian food, this is the place. My friend and I shared baked clams, calamari, mikes hot honey pepperoni pizza and mafaldine sausage in Peperonata sauce... I know-- we were hungry. The pasta dish was so fresh and flavorful I highly recommend ordering that. They played Frank Sinatra music all night long, the food was delicious and the service was great even while the servers were managing a big party at that time as well. Can't wait to come again and try more things on the menu! read more

We had a lovely dinner outside at Graziella's the other night. I called early to make sure they would be OK with us bringing our dog and eating at an outside table. The lady who answered the phone was very kind and welcoming and told us to stop on by! When we got there we were promptly seated outside and they brought our dog a bowl of water and our place settings very quickly. We ordered the fried calamari (large), a large margherita with pepperoni, and the seafood black linguini. And two draft pilsners. I eat a LOT of fried calamari. Any chance I get, any place I'm at. At any given moment in time I am probably a certain % of body weight in calamari. This calamari was divine - perfectly fried, perfectly seasoned, and a huge portion. Nothing makes me sadder than when you pay $16 for calamari and there are fewer than 16 pieces in it. This was a heaping plate of classic italian style calamari which my wife and I struggled to finish (but finish we did). Then the pizza and pasta came out. Pizza was massive and delicious. Perfect crisp and texture. Sauce tasted great. And they use cup pepperoni! Almost no flop and a pleasure to eat. We could only finish half because we filled up on calamari, but it was a perfect breakfast the next morning. If I had to suggest one change it would be for more basil :) The seafood black linguini was also perfect. Very generous portion with tons of mixed seafood in (lobster, shrimp, squid, salmon). Sauce was creamy - almost like a less red penne vodka. Linguini was a perfect chewy al-dente. Lastly, the staff were so warm and welcoming. I THINK our waitress' name was Melissa (some of the other staff told us) and she was so sweet. Also, the 2 pints I got were ice cold. We will be back a lot. read more

Both my dishes were very tasty. This was my first time eating boar meat and the sauce I think made it taste as good as it did. I think without the sauce it would have just been mediocre.

This is Brooklyn!!!! I always have a great experience when I come to this neighborhood Gem! As soon as you walk in the door the staff makes you feel like family and Vito the owner always stops by my table to make sure everything is going well. The multiple gelato flavors and dessert is what you see on your left as you walk in followed by the amazing bar staff. The hostess on your right always greets you with a smile and is happy that you came for Authentic Italiano food and you can smell the amazing Aroma as soon as you walk in. As your being seated towards the back of the restaurant you see pizza being prepared in a wood burning oven and I must say the pizza is to die for. Every customer at their table is displaying smiles as they indulge in the super flavorful Italiano cuisines at Graziella's!! This restaurant should be on your top list to visit when in Brooklyn. Thank you Vito for feeding the neighborhood for so many years and keeping the food, service and conversation top notch!! read more
