Great Food, Great Service

by PianoPlyr

My wife and I frequently eat at Graziano' Next Door, the pizza tratoria adjacent to the main restaurant.

It is fantastic! Being from Philadelphia, I am a pizza snob. That being said, Graziano's pizza is not in the style of the Northeastern pizzerias, it is Argentine style and quite delicious. Over the past few years we've had every pizza on the menu, and they are all great. We especially like the Siciliana (with sopresata and hard boiled egg). The salads are huge, the bread is flavorful. The empanadas are the best I've ever had - beef, chicken and spinach/ricotta - all delicious. They also have a good selection of Italian gelatos, and baked desserts. As good as the food is, I still can't get over the wonderful service. The servers are all extremely attentive and friendly. The food comes quickly, but we have never felt rushed to finish. The cozy ambiance is very conducive to hanging out and savoring the meal. The only dissapointment is the fact that they currently do not serve wine at the tables (though the walls are lined with wine bottles for retail carry-out). I hope that this changes soon - their wine selection is fantastic, and a good bottle of Malbec was always a perfect compliment to their excellent food. None-the-less, I highly recommend this restaurant.

• Pros: Food, Service
• Cons: No wine served at tables

Excellent cuts of beef, Huge wine selection

From the moment you walk in, you feel as though you are about to enjoy a fine dining experience. The elgant decor and dim lighting make for a romantic setting. The entrees and appetizers were all delicious. We had the Grazziano's antipasto and a chorizo link for starters. For entrees we chose the tenderloin with mushrooms, grilled rabbit, and the novillo(similair to churrasco). Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was outstanding. My only negative experience was the Tiramisu. I would HIGHLY recommend choosing something else. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I will return in the future.

No need to use Valet parking, there is more than enough parking within walking distance. Oh...and if you really want to try a good Tiramisu...the absolute BEST, believe it or not, is at the Publix bakery!

• Pros: Great steaks, Great service
• Cons: Tiramisu

For starters I'd like to comment to the previous review/rating, I truly believe that you had a bad experience overall, simply because you're unhappy, therefore I think nothing can please you... I feel for you, not enjoying the wonderful things in life, like this extraordinary one of a kind Restaurant, Graziano's has taken over Miami's Argentinean Cuisines, if you want to feel like you're in Buenos Aires... just go to one of their 3 locations, here in Florida... save the air fare, well, if you've never been there, let me tell a little about what you can expect when you arrive... first EVERYONE greets & welcomes you with enthusiasm, they make you feel at home, extremely comfortable, and most importantly, which that is what actually WOWed me, it was the undivided attention to our needs & wants, the food, ambience, & WINES were outrageous! If I can recommend something it would be neverending, furthermore, with all true honesty, I can assure those who have not yet tried Graziano's, has not yet experienced what's the true meaning of FINE DINING, I thank all those who've read my review/rating & experience @ The BEST Restaurant/Steakhouse in SOUTH FLORIDA, with all due respect to those who feel otherwise!

• Pros: Gourmet dishes, Ambience, Wines, Customer Service, Decor... Stunning!
• Cons: None at this time... Thanks!
