    This is definitely a great place. We left in such a good mood, the staff was so nice, the tasting was wonderful. Food option was a surprise since we weren’t sure there would be one for that day. It was just overall great. Would definitely go back soon.

    We've been here a number of times and Cafe Emelia doesn't disappoint. The food is consistently good and the service exceptional. The staff is incredibly welcoming and adds that extra dimension to your evening that I look for when going out with friends and family.

    We picked Graziella's on a whim--just looking for a spot with availability last Friday. And wow--was this a good move. I think Graziella's might be a new favorite. The staff was completely on point in giving an upscale but comfortable experience. From the manager (I think?) who checked us in to the server and different food runners, everyone was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Don't skip the bread, it's worth the carbs. My husband really enjoyed the chicken rollatini. I had the canelloni, which was absolutely superb. That's not a word I use very often, but when it is absolutely true when it comes to the canelloni. I brought half of it home and it was even delicious reheated. I tend not to eat very much at one sitting, but the food was so good, I wish I could have eaten more! We will definitely be back.
