"Dined outside on Saturday night. It was beautiful. Greeted warmly by our waiter. Started with the beet salad which was spectacular. Main course was Veal Napoli which was cooked to perfection. Everyone at our table loved their food. We just moved to the area and will definitely be going back there."

"My first choice was the Chilean Sea Bass, but the waiter returned to tell me they didn't have anymore....so, I chose the blackened swordfish, which was just delicious.
The service was slow tonight, as it was jammed packed with people...But everyone's food came out just right and we all enjoyed it.
The noise level was high, because of the full room, but you could still hear your own conversation at the table.
We've never been disappointed at Graziella's, and we've been coming here for years. The Church St. storefront is much nicer than their old space, and parking is directly across in their own parking lot. .What more could you ask for?

"We enjoyed our Mother's Day Lunch at Graziella's. Our party of 6 ranged in age from 6 months to 91 years old. There were several families there. One other family also had a baby in their party. All the families seemed to be happy with the restaurant.
The food was very good and they were able to accommodate the vegetarian at our table. The only issue was that it took so long for the food to be served. However, everything was cooked to perfection and we all enjoyed our meals.
We have been to this restaurant before and we will certainly be back again."

"Food was excellent! Waiter seemed a little frazzled by the crowd - quite busy but was the night before Mother's day. We had a very young, polite, efficient bus boy - he was a pleasure (was on the left of the entrance). First time in new location - will definitely return for the great food."

"One of four liked their meal. The food was very ordinary, nothing was exciting, except maybe the salads were tasty. It was extremely noisy! I could not hear the person sitting next to me. The service by the bus boy was much better than the service by the waiters. I would guess younger people like the noise, we do not! But the food was the problem. My husband left over most of his meal and my chicken was swimming in awful vinegary sauce. I sent it back and asked the waiter to remove all the sauce and just place the chicken on a plate. Even the dessert was unmemorable! I would definitely not go back there or recommend it to anyone we know. The best part of the whole experience was there was free parking across the street."

"This restaurant took over "Blue"and has a better menu. The food was very well prepared and presented. The bar offers great potato chips to snack on while waiting for your table.
Grazziela's offers parking across the street. This was a problem for the previous restaurant.

"Service was terrible. My wife and I sat for over 15 minutes before being acknowledged and asked if we cared for drinks. We had numerous servers, none of whom were invested in our enjoying our dining experience. The food was mediocre. Only positive thing I can say is that the atmosphere was visually appealing.
Cannot recommend this restaurant.

"Five of us enjoy trying new restaurants during Hudson Valley Restaurant week. This restaurant does not disappoint. Service was extremely good. Each course was served in a professional manner paying attention to each guest. The food presentation was suberb with a good wine list and excellent menu choices. Even the every day menu was reasonably priced. We would definitely return at any time. Private parking across the street made the evening perfect - good friends, good food."

"Went there to celebrate birthdays with 4 women. We ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio It was pretty aweful. My girlfriend wanted to try a better wine which turned out to be worse than the 1st one. Our I ordered the hot antipasto; eggplant rollatini,stuffed mushrooms, baked clams, shrimp. It all tasted previously frozen. My entree did taste better. I order the seared tuna, rare. It was delicious, even though there were no pine nuts on the plate as stated on the menu. For dessert I wanted to try the french martini since it sounded so good. It tasted just ok. When my girlfriend so what I had ordered, she ordered one too. When it arrived, right away we noticed hers looked so different than mine, and tasted much better too. Not going back!"

"Very nice ambience however the service was not good that night nor was the food. My swordfish was flavorless, the broccoli rabe was mush and my dish did not come out hot. My husband didn't care for his chicken dish either. The bread only came w/ a mushed something w/anchoives in it, which is a very strong flavor only liked by a few. We asked for butter or olive oil for the bread numerous times. They also ran out of the wine we wanted and ran out of broccoli rabe for my fellow dinners. I have heard good things about the restuarant but unfortunately I will not go back."

"We had a great time at Graziella's on a Friday night, group of 6 people. The spring roll with broccoli rabe special appetizer was a winner, as was the special seafood lasagna. The eggplant rollatine is a delicious standby as is the seasonal salad. The waiters are very welcoming, completely reset the table after we spilled a glass of wine."

"This was our first visit and it was for Valentine's Day with our 2 nieces visiting from abroad. We wanted to stay local instead of going into NYC. The food was delicious and served piping hot. We were very pleased with our wait person. He was attentive without being intrusive and friendly. The only down side to our special evening was the indifferent attitude of the hostess. We greeted her "Happy Valentine's Day" when we arrived at the restaurant and she barely acknowledged us. She did not smile nor reciprocated our greeting. She pointed in the direction of where we were to be seated and said "your table is there." Her attitude bordered on rude. We were very disappointed with the hostess."
