Look - before I even start this review, I have to say that Grazie's is not a place where you go because you found it on Eater. Nope. Nothing highend about the place. However ... talk about a hidden gem. The atmosphere in a strip mall parking lot bookended by a Men's Warehouse and bridal boutique do not give full credence to Grazie. It is truly a sheep in wolf's clothing. And you know what they say about underestimating the sheep .. or is it the wolf?! Anyway, this is a family place that begs for a starring role in a west coast production of Big Night. Lots of food. Tons of kindness. And a special feeling that has you leave your meal not only satisfied in your gastrum, but completely content in the your soul. The food is good - and that's not a bad thing, but the service is really great. Make a night of it. However, before you venture into the shopping mall madness of Tukwila - check your foodie snobbery at the door. This place is just fun!

Stopped in for lunch. Started off with the calamari appetizer. It was very flavorful in a spicy marinara sauce. For the entrees, we had the Veal Saltimbocca and Goat Cheese Ravioli. Both entrees were excellent. Finished lunch with Key Lime Pie and a Cappuccino. Everything was great. The service was also top notch.

Can of Ravioli is better. This place has gone DOWN DOWN DOWN!!!
The quality of this restaurant is horrible I am in shock what they served me after I sent back my cool meal. The cook put what he served me back in the pan and added more sauce to heat it up. After I took a bite from it??????? The noodles turned out like mush. Absolutely disgusting. What a disappointing dinner. No offer of a discount or a desert. And most importantly no manager came to our table to apologize for such a horrible meal and experience. I will NEVER return to this restaurant ever again. And I advise you do not waste your money to go here. 0 out of 10.
I'm a foodie through and through and this is not only the best Italian Restaurant in Seattle, it is the best restaurant of all varieties and price points in Seattle! This may even been the best restaurant I've ever been to in my life, and if it isn't it's top 5 easily, it's that good!
The outward appearance of this place isn't much and I wasn't expecting much going in but this place is just out of this world delicious! It honestly doesn't even feel like they are cooking you food, they are creating art to delight your taste buds! The way they combine flavors for all of their dishes all in different ways is seriously just out of this world good!
I have gone to all sorts of different restaurants in far fancier locations and much higher price points and still always end up coming back here and saying "wow" outloud after every bite! (I'm genuinely not even exaggerating that)
This place may not have some of the flare, or the views that other places may have but if you want a place that isn't doing anything showy to trick you into thinking the food is high end, and is only concerned with serving you with only the best taste experience you could wish for, this is where you need to be!
The atmosphere is pleasant, not showy but very nice. The wait staff is incredibly friendly and professional. I genuinely can't think of a singular negative thing to say here we just keep coming back and it never gets old and blows us away every time with every dish, you seriously can't go wrong here!
I have also tried the other location, this one is notably better for whatever that is worth, so if you were underwhelmed at the one up north, come to this one, the menu is different, and the taste is much better!
Really enjoyed this restaurant. Had the Linguini Alfredo with grilled chicken. Terrific service.

I had the pear Gorgonzola chicken ravioli Deliscioso! It tasted creamy cheeses and hearty. The four came out quickly with a side of bread with seasoned oil. I wish the bread was warm but it took a back seat to my entrée. My wine came out quickly and my waiter never ran dry. I believe it's a family owned business which is nice to support and the space was warm, cozy and felt like I was having dinner at my grandmothers in Italy.
This is hands down the best Italian food you will find in town! Plus the staff and management are amazing! If you go on DoorDash you can tell they don’t hand pick choices…they offer the FULL menu unlike other restaurants. Best place to celebrate an anniversary or birthday too as they will offer a free dessert!. The price you pay for food is definitely worth every penny and they will box your food so you can bring home leftovers! They also change their feature menu every 60 days or so to allow a change in different Italian style meals. They have so many regulars that come back for more food than any other restaurant in town!

Thank you Monique, hope to see you again soon! 🇮🇹
We visited on Saturday (3/21/26) for our second time. Our first visit back in December was delicious with great service, so we were really looking forward to coming back—especially since we were celebrating our 20th anniversary with our 10-year-olds.
Unfortunately, this visit didn’t match our first experience.
From the start, the service felt rushed and impersonal. Our server came over and immediately asked what we wanted to drink—no greeting, no walk-through of the wine list or specialty drinks, and no acknowledgment of the celebration (which we had noted in the reservation). I don’t expect that to always be called out, but a simple “Are you celebrating anything special?” would have gone a long way.
We arrived at 5pm (a little early, thinking happy hour was in the dining room), and it wasn’t busy, so it was surprising that the experience felt so transactional. I understand happy hour is only offered in the bar, which is totally fine, but when I asked about it, the response was simply that it was in the bar—there was no follow-up like offering to start us with appetizers or helping guide us toward options in the dining room. We would have absolutely ordered some.
We were seated at 5:00 and finished by 5:50, which felt very quick for what was supposed to be a special night out. More than anything, it felt like assumptions were made because we had kids with us, that we weren’t interested in drinks, specials, or a more elevated experience. That wasn’t the case. We were celebrating, dressed up, and would have happily enjoyed a glass of wine with dessert if it had been offered.
I’m not looking to call out a specific server, but I do hope this feedback is helpful. The service really impacted what should have been a fun and memorable evening.
Cute restaurant, great service but we were disappointed in the food after seeing all the good ratings. The fish dish was overly salted. The chicken marsala was unfortunately bland and the chicken tough. The spaghetti sauce also lacked depth and flavor. The best part was the side orzo pasta and the dipping olive oil for the cold bread. We won't likely be back. 😞

Consistently good!
Returned to Grazie in Bothell for a birthday dinner.
A couple in our party needed to leave shortly after arriving. Our server expedited our order and we had entrées in about 10 mins.
Staff are great, open kitchen seen as coming in.
Comp dessert for the birthday guest was great!
