It’s very busy - our host didn’t know there was an end time for the booking so make sure you check. Service was great. Friendly courteous and knowledgeable. We teamed an Italian Pinot Grigio with the seafood pappardelle for the boys and the ladies chose the jewfish special of the day. The sauce with the pappardelle was pretty tasty and the pasta was well cooked. The chilli oil dip for the pita bread was a surprise. Great dinner. Tiramisu and gelato shared for dessert.

Grazia Restaurant – Glen Iris We visited Grazia for a Sunday birthday lunch, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The restaurant itself is stunning — elegant interiors with warm lighting and a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for a special occasion. Even the bathrooms are fun and stylish, with vibrant orange wallpaper that adds a playful touch — why not feel a little Italian flair while touching up your lipstick! We started with refreshing mojitos, perfectly mixed and balanced — not too sweet, with just the right kick of mint and lime. Every dish that followed was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, from the shared antipasti through to the mains and desserts. Each plate showcased quality ingredients and authentic Italian flavours prepared with care. The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional throughout, making us feel genuinely welcome. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was lovely and took the time to chat with us — a personal touch that made the visit even more memorable. A quick note for accessibility: there are a few steps at the entrance, so it’s best to hold the rail when entering. Parking is easy — free all day on weekends after 6 pm, and one-hour free parking available on the street during the day. Overall, Grazia is a beautiful spot for a relaxed yet refined dining experience. Great food, wonderful service, and a lovely atmosphere. We’ll definitely be dining here again.

I’ve heard so many people rave about this place, and every time I’ve tried to book in the past, it’s been completely full — so finally getting a reservation, I had high expectations. Safe to say, it did not disappoint. When I first walked in, it immediately felt like a local, family-friendly spot — relaxed yet refined. The interiors are beautifully neutral, filled with natural light that makes the whole space feel so warm and welcoming. We dined as a group of six upstairs, and the acoustics were surprisingly good — it was easy to talk without shouting over each other. We started with cocktails: the Apple Lychee Martini and the Spicy Margarita, both of which were delicious. For entrees, we shared the Calamari Fritti alla Joe (a spicy calamari dish that was perfectly cooked) and the Hiramasa Kingfish Crudo. For mains, we all ordered individually — I went for the Spaghetti alla Bolognese (simple, I know, but it’s my favourite), and it was one of the best I’ve had in Melbourne. At $36, it felt well worth it. Everyone else at the table was equally happy with their meals. Overall, service was quick, the food was excellent, and the setting made for the perfect group catch-up spot.

One of my best dining experience! Service was great - very friendly and warm staff! From the person who was at the door to the people who helped us with our food on the table. :) Ambiance was sophisticated but at the same time very relaxed and cozy. :) Food was fantastic! Ohh.. the lobster parpadelle, the pizza and their bombe alaska were our favourites!!! Served fresh and warm. :) Thanks for making tonight wonderful!

An unforgettable Italian dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious. Full of flavour! The staff were friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a true taste of Italy. Approved so now you can open in Perth 😁
