Excellent food and atmosphere. They have outside seating which is really nice. The staff here is really nice and helpful. Trevor was really great and helped with making the right choices for food. Must try place.

Lasagna (Should be Lasagne) turned out to be vegetarian and not contain any beef as advertised. Carbonara says it is made with eggs and Parmesan but was actually a creamy mess. No grated parmesan to top the dishes either. Risotto balls were OK but should be called Arancini.

Came out for a double date night. Drinks and dessert were great! The appetizers were good but the main course came out flat. The main dishes need a little bit of oomph to it or salt.

What a perfect little Italian restaurant!! The menu is somewhat small, but it was still difficult to pick just one entree. All the classics and then some. Great cocktails. Excellent service. Our meals were SO good!! And the cheesecake with caramel sauce is exceptional!! I can't wait to go back and try something else!! And the atmosphere is perfect. Classy yet casual. Perfect spot!!

I usually dine in and have a great meal. However, when I ordered to go, I had a disappointing experience. I ordered chicken Alfredo, but the chicken was overcooked and the pasta was undercooked. I don’t know who didn’t notice that the pasta wasn’t fully cooked through and ended up being a big clump. Next time, I’ll just go through the drive-thru. I’m so disappointed.

Great food. Ask for a table in the main dining room when making reservations.

When someone orders and spends over $100 on a meal the one job you have is to make sure the food is IN the BAG. I’m so sick of ordering take out and people cannot seem to figure this out! Bag was sealed and only had 4 boxes despite ordering 5 items. Also no utensils? I get better service from a $10 fast food drive thru order.

Probably one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in recent years. When we walked in, it took about five minutes to even be acknowledged and nearly ten minutes total to be seated despite having a reservation and the restaurant being completely empty.

After being seated, we waited again before anyone approached the table. Eventually, someone asked if we had been helped and took our drink order. About ten minutes later, my drink arrived, but my date’s simple sweet tea did not. That didn’t arrive until much later after our food was already served.

It took another ten minutes to place our order and about twenty minutes for the food to arrive. Unfortunately, the food was just as disappointing as the service. I ordered the gnocchi, which I’ve had here multiple times before and always loved. This time it was dense and tasted like dough bricks. I’m not sure what happened in the kitchen, but I’m surprised it was even sent out.

The most frustrating part was that this was at 3:15 in the afternoon not during a rush and the restaurant was empty. The staff seemed uninterested and disengaged the entire time.

Everyone can have an off night, and I could excuse a mistake with the food. But poor service, poor food, and an empty restaurant make it hard to justify returning. Unfortunately, this will probably be my last visit.

Me and the wife wanted to celebrate valentine's day before the crowds, plus we have heard so many great things about Gravy. I called the day before to setup reservations and I specifically asked for outside seating. The lady told me it wouldn't be a problem if weather was good.
Came in today. Told the hostess 3 times I reserved a outside table. Finally on the 4th time with a stronger tone of voice I asked again for the outside table I reserved. That's when we were seated at a inside table and told they weren't doing outside tables.
Ordered the apple cider cocktail, risotto balls, spaghetti and meatballs, tagliatelle bolognese. The Apple cider cocktail tasted like ginger ale with lemon. Both me wife and I did not taste any apple. My tagliatelle bolognese was okay. My wife's spaghetti sauce tasted like it came from a can, the meatballs were overly peppered. The risotto balls are the highlight of this meal. Something that good must be sinful. Soft but crunchy exterior, delicate and rich on flavor in the inside. Ultimately spent $90 at gravy just to go down the street and spend $20 McDonald's. I don't know if the cooking was a off night, but it happens i get it. Our server was amazing and helpful. The hostess was uncaring, and non responsive. She seemed very vacant.
