Grazie Bistro

I had a fantastic dinner at Grazie. Everything we tried was delicious and clearly made with care.

The crab cake arancini were a standout to start the meal. Perfectly crisp outside, rich and flavorful crab inside… such a smart twist on a classic Italian bite.

For the main course, I had the sweet potato gnocchi special with Gorgonzola sauce and crispy pancetta. The gnocchi were pillowy and just lightly sweet, and the creamy sauce with the salty pancetta made every bite balanced and memorable. One of the best gnocchi dishes I’ve had anywhere.

Dessert kept the streak going: a pistachio cheesecake slice paired with pistachio ice cream. Light, nutty, and the perfect finish without feeling too heavy.

Service was warm and friendly the whole evening. It’s a BYOB spot, so bring your favorite wine and enjoy. Overall, excellent Italian food with great hospitality. Definitely coming back!

My wife and I capped off a lovely day date at this restaurant. A simple Google search led us there and I was struck by a perfect 5 star rating with over 80 reviews. That’s difficult to achieve for a restaurant. We learned during this lunch exactly how that’s possible.
Smallish and intimate inside, but not cramped. The staff was friendly and alert, always attentive but not hovering. At first I thought it was odd for an Italian eatery not to serve bread for the table. After we finished we understood why. There’s no reason to add anything that would diminish these dishes in any way. The appetizers were incredibly well done. The flavors grab your palette right away. The sauces were perfection. When our entrees came the taste profile just continued to impress. The pear ravioli was absolutely amazing! Am I gushing, yes I am. The portions of food are exactly enough that you don’t mind trying a little of everything on the table but you don’t feel bloated and uncomfortable. Dessert was equally impressive. Everything we encountered was prepared with care and attention. This chef knows how to pair flavors. It’s a hidden gem that we have decided is now one of our favorites in this area. I can’t recommend this establishment enough.

Absolutely loved this Italian spot! The carbonara was hands down the best I’ve ever had — super creamy, flavorful, and just perfect. The arugula pizza was fresh and tasty with a great thin crust, and the pear and goat cheese salad was amazing (those walnuts were next-level!).

Service was fantastic — friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome. The vibe inside is cozy, clean, and peaceful — just what you want for a relaxing meal.

Big shoutout to the chef for such delicious food — you can really taste the love in every bite! And a huge thank you to the servers for being so kind and on point. Can’t wait to come back! 💚🤍❤️ Grazie!!!

The cozy, inviting atmosphere was the perfect setting for what turned out to be an exceptional meal. If you're looking for authentic Italian food, this is the place.

I started with the fried calamari, and it was exactly how I like it—tender rings with a very light, crispy coating that wasn't greasy or overly breaded. For my main course, the seafood pasta was packed with succulent shrimp, calamari, and mussels.

Overall, our experience was fantastic. The combination of wonderful, fresh food, especially the amazing homemade pasta and perfectly prepared seafood, makes this a must-visit.

Update

I recently tried the Pizza. Amazing!!! Chef Marco is amazing! Top quality pizza’s. Sauce awesome. Crust amazing.

Grazie Bistro sits right in the heart of Main Street, Lawrenceville, and pulls off that rare trick of feeling both special and comfortable at the same time. The moment you walk in, you notice the crisp linen tablecloths and napkins—a small touch, but one that makes dinner feel like an occasion, even if you’re just grabbing lunch or a bite after work.
The menu covers all the Italian classics, so whether you’re craving pizza, a fresh salad, or something a little heartier, there’s plenty to choose from. On our visit, we tried the Short Rib sandwich and the Milanese. The short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender, stacked high on perfectly toasted bread, while the Milanese was crisp, flavorful, and honestly, hard to share. What really stood out was the service. The staff especially Shara was attentive without hovering, happy to answer questions and quick to offer recommendations. It’s the kind of place where you feel genuinely taken care of. Bottom line: Grazie Bistro is the kind of spot you’ll want to come back to—whether for a cozy dinner or a long lunch with friends. Highly recommended.
