Caffe Grazie is a lively cafe, located steps from Madison Avenue and Central Park, serving sumptuous Italian cuisine in a two floor townhouse setting. Perfect for dinner with friends and family, or a quick lunch after a visit to the nearby Metropolitan Museum.
"We enjoyed our meal as we always do and then when we left we say they lost their A rating and was listed as Grade Pending. That concerns us. I hope they resolve this soon."

"The relaxed atmosphere. They never rush you and you feel as though you could stay for hours and they won't mind. The salad menu is great, especially the arugula with goat cheese. the soups are also outstanding. The "bento box" is super for those who might be on a tighter budget but still want the sophisticated ambience of a restaurant such as this."

"Seating was tight, and the group seated by us were very noisy. It wasn't the fault of the establishment - but difficult to request seating in a quiet area...there just isn't one."

"We had a nice sunday brunch at this cozy and clean Caffe. Plenty of interesting choices for brunch/lunch: breakfasty egg-dishes, pizzas, soups, sandwhiches and pasta. Nice wine list. Great location near the Metropolitan Museum of Art."

"When finishing up at the Met, the Caffe Grazie is an excellent neighborhood spot. Cozy, quiet and freshly prepared dishes at a reasonable (for the area) price. Not the most beautiful place but nice enough. Service can get a little confused (which is off since it's not a big place) but everyone is very nice and welcoming."

"a menu with countless tempting and classic dishes, all - so far as I know - well prepared. Also a homey space with good sound quality. None of which comes cheap - in fact it's slightly overpriced, I think, for solid but not wildly creative food in comfortable but not wildly luxurious or fancy digs."

"Eating at Caffe Grazie feels like you are having dinner at a friends. A friend that knows how to cook and make you feel comfortable. Consistently good and the service is friendly. We really enjoy it. This is my "comfort" restaurant."

"we had a very early dinner, yet our service was like it was fully packed with a line out the door. for e.g.: forgot our bread, despite beng asked multiple times the waiter finally brought it along with the appetizers, almost 20m after we sat down. almost gave me the wrong glass of wine, switched a beer from our table with the table behind us. his solution: he LITERALLY brought us the beer he had *just* poured the other table. we had to hunt him down to bring the children their dessert early - a standard esp when their main courses were brought with our apps. their food is fine for a neighborhood spot and they are nice, but continually incompetent waiter service."

"The waiter did not describe the dishes well. As a result one had to be sent back. I kept the second course, but it also came without following my instructions. They should train their staff better."

"Caffe Grazie is one of our local favorites. The atmosphere is almost club-like and cozy, in a good way. The owners and help are so friendly- the food is always fresh and delicious and you won't get any attitude with a special request. They also have a nice selection of wines by the glass. Save room for their zeppole at the end- served with caramel and chocolate sauces!"

"The location is absolutely perfect for dinner after seeing an exhibit at the MET. This is our spot for dinner every time we attend and evening event at the MET. The foods is consistently good. Wine selection is good. This was a great find for us."

"Set up a business dinner there and prior to it met with family for drinks while in town- the staff was very accommodating to set us up with the space we needed - a large table in a private setting upstairs to start for drinks- and where we just decided to stay after for our business meeting. Everyone was pleased with their choice of food (baked salmon and salmon penne both done well) and our guest loved his spaghetti and meatballs! The service was excellent as we had lots to talk about with both our family catch - up and our business conversation, and the staff was very patient in serving us through both."

"I find Cafe Grazie a charming bistro that has several advantages. The bistro is near the Metropolitan Museum; whether you partake of their brunch (walnut pancakes are light, not too sweet -- just simply delish) or have sandwich, chances are you won't be disappointed. The service is attentive and the ambience is pleasant; for a relatively small place, it never gets too noisy and you can always carry on a conversation without raising your voice."

"It was hard to find a Saturday brunch place in the nabe. grazie fit the bill. It opened at 11:00 plus we could order either brunch or lunch fare. One of our group had pancakes, another had a breakfast pizza and I had their "benno box" consisting of salad, sandwich and fruit. Good service and great coffee."

"Whether you prefer the wood trimmed bar area at street level or one of the two airy rooms upstairs (which I do) this is a comfortable place, well located for the Met or shopping Madison. The food is always good. The lunch is extremely reasonable for the very good service and food."
