You can never go wrong at the Granita Grill. Everything is absolutely delicious on the menu. They always find a table for us. Ralph and Julie are always so nice and good at what they do! Gotta love this place! Best to call ahead to make the reservation. And they are great for large tables and private parties. The grandson Milan is known to play the piano. Well. Ed the guitarist singer performs on the weekends. He does a great job too!

We were seated at our table and the server never introduced herself. I believe the server was possibly the owner, but not sure. She had long hair that was not pulled back and did not have proper attire on. If you are going to serve food, then you should have your hair pulled back for sanitary reasons. She never came to ask us how our food was after it was brought to the table by other workers. I ordered short ribs, which came as shredded meat with no bone. It was fair. Had she come back to the table to ask, I would have returned the food, but unfortunately she didn’t. I would not go back again. Expensive food and poor service and atmosphere.

Our family has eaten here many times and always loved the food. Tonight, we had a family meal and it was fantastic. Plenty of food and tasted as good as if we were there. I highly recommend.

We came in on a Sunday night and the service we had was horrible. The restaurant was not that crowded, either. Our server never introduced himself to us, so we had no clue what his name was. The food was good, but nothing to write home about. The Tiramisu we had was odd, it was more of a cake and nothing like a traditional one.

Granita Grille was an unexpected absolute pleasure to dine at and my experience demonstrated why they are celebrating their 25th anniversary. The restaurants was bustling and packed in a great way and felt warm and inviting as soon as you walked in. With live acoustic music playing for all the diners. The staff was super friendly and our waitress was a delight. The food was absolutely delicious right down to the massive basket of bread at the table which include numerous pieces focaccia that when dipped in the tomato vinegar mixture on the table was superb. My husband and I got a stuffed artichoke and the seafood salad to start and the stuff artichoke blew us away. It was massive, seasoned great and just looked gorgeous. The seafood salad was fresh and dressed perfectly and also a massive portion. For an entree, I got scallops and was so happy I did. each scallop has a beautiful char on the outside with a tender inside. The scallops had the natural sweetness you want and it was clear they were extremely fresh. It was served on a bed of artichokes and mushrooms which was lovely. My husband got the pork chop special and the pork chop was so juicy (it had me wishing I got this dish) and the hand cut potato chips it came with were the potato chip we all dream about. This was a great experience and I would definitely go again if I was in the mood for Italian! If you are looking for classic Italian fare that is executed right this is the place to go.

A mom and pop place and you can tell. Everything is made and presented with care and attention to detail. All their dishes are consistently good. It's a BYOB place so bring your vino. Weekends they have an acoustic guitarist serenading the patrons. Great service and an overall pleasant dining experience.
Great place. We had a repast here and they were very accommodating and helpful. The service and food were outstanding.

Not good. Order was wrong, no cappuccino. Charged for veal when I had chicken. Not an Italian restaurant. About the same as Olive Garden I would imagine. Haven't been there, but I know better. There making me pick a star but I would pick no star.

Can’t believe this place is 4.7/5 because oh my it is so bad. The vodka sauce is tasteless and prob the worst I’ve had. Price is also way too
