Reviews for Graziano's Ristoranti in Chesilhurst, NJ
Our party of 6 arrived around 5:30 on Monday evening. We were seated immediately and the small dining room had yet to fill up.... We ordered drinks and apps and the waitress submitted the order in. We dined on our apps and drinks while we gave our dinnerorder and that arrived after bread and a family style bowl of salad was served. Black linguini with deep fried scallops wastasty and spicy in a creamy fra diablo sauce. My kids had a good kid size portion of spaghetti and meatballs and my husband hadziti with bolognese sauce and a side of hot sausage. Food tastes homemade and fresh. Dessert was left a lot to be desired. Mypeanut butter lava cake seemed to have been heated and then reheated in a microwave a few dozen times and was crispy in someareas, hard or soft in others. I didn't finish it and recieved a gift card in the amount of the dessert for a future use. Theeggnog martini was delicious and went down really smooth but my daughter did not enjoy her too sweet lemonade at all. I reallydo enjoy dining here and will not let tonight's experience keep me from coming back. Read more
It was a good ol' Italian neighborhood type restaurant. Really hopping, a decent line waiting for tables when we left. Of course... nice garlic bread, etc. Good staff, decently large menu of good stuff. I don't go out that much and even though I should havechosen something more to my personal liking, I still enjoyed being there. A good time. Read more
My little sister always talks about how much she loves this restaurant and took me with her for my first time. They are awesome!... We went for the lunch and it was great. The salad is delicious, along with the bread. The food was amazing, I got the lobsterand crab ravioli and it was perfect! Our waitress was so sweet and fun to talk to, and made sure we were taken care of. She alsomade the BEST espresso martini! I would definitely recommend stopping in to anyone looking for something yummy. ???? Read more
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! The food was absolutely amazing! It looked beautiful and tasted phenomenal. The place was... packed and yet our server was attentive and friendly. We even met the owner, who offered to buy us a drink just because shewas super sweet. I love this place and will be back for sure. Read more

Went there for dinner. Sat at the bar prior to being seated. Friendly atmosphere. When we were seated for dinner there was a... long pause between seeing our server, ordering dinner, and waiting for it to arrive because we only saw 2 servers for the entirearea which seated around 30 people. The mini shot beer at the bar was really the highlight of our evening. Read more
We dined here years ago when we first moved into the area. We weren't very impressed back then. Since then we ordered a few... takeout orders and finally decided to go back to dine in. We are happy we did. The food was delicious, the cocktails were spoton and the service was exceptional. The salad was served family style in a wooden bowl topped with sharp provolone cheese. All Ihave to say is even my picky son had a bowl. Our entrée came out and they were equally on point. My steak wasn't the best Iever had but it was well seasoned and was tasty. My wife loved her goat cheese ravioli and my daughter and son both loved theirdishes too. The ambiance is a throw back to the 50s. Pictures of Sinatra, Dimaggio, Marylan Monroe and many more stars from thatera. The sunken in bar is really unique these days. I would suggest going. We will definitely be frequenting this establishmentagain. Read more
