    This was the best food experience I’ve had in years, the aesthetic of the interior with the huge ceilings made the vibe immaculate. The lighting and music added to the taste of the food, I had the pasta and some entree’s and will be returning here for sure! 10/10 no flaws in service, aesthetic or food, couldn’t recommend higher.

    10/10! Do yourself a favour and enjoy incredible Italian food here! It’s close to Caulfield and Gardiner Station. Lots of strip parking along the road as well. Incredible restaurant with 2 dining floors and the 3rd floor has the spacious orange wallpapered bathrooms. White Lotus vibes! Heard such great things from Broadsheet, I had to visit and it’s worth the hype! Love a good find especially in the suburbs. It’s upscale but approachable in terms of service, interiors and energy of the room. Have a great time at Grazia! Can’t wait to come back for more celebrations 🙌🏼

    The starter (kingfish crudo) was fantastic! The main (veel cutlets) was slightly overdone but ok. The deserts were quite nice. The staff were attentive and friendly.

    Nice food and an absolutely stunning venue that spans multiple levels. The prawn entree was a bit small for the price with minimal but the zucchini flowers were hearty and delicious. All the pastas were also great but the seafood risotto was a highlight. If you’re vegetarian, the agnolotti is a great option as well.

    We ate here tonight after having to wait months to get a Saturday night reservation... well, the wait was worth it. The service was spot on, being served by Francesco, an Italian from Milano. The food was all very tasty and well presented. The restaurant itself is modern and nicely designed. The wood panelling on the upstairs ceiling means it's not too noisy The veal and cotoletta are great as mains. The polpo entree is super tasty but as alway, with octopus, the serving size is too small. The bombe Alaska and sfinge are to die for. Can't wait to return and try the pizza and pasta. Al, the Airconon was a little too strong making it quite chilly.

    Our favorite Italian restaurant in Melbourne! Unbelievable service to accompany some of the best tasting Italian dishes. The Lobster pasta is simply amazing!! You will not be disappointed. Be sure to make reservations well in advance as seats are taken up fast.

    Absolutely the best Italian cuisine we had while visiting family and friends in Australia 🇦🇺 Professional staff ensured prompt and regular table service. Provided for my allergy to eggs, by changing pappardelle with spaghetti 🍝 very nice. Downside is having to use stairs to reach more dining area upstairs. Highly recommended and reservations required.

    Amazing! Truly beautiful place. The waiters were fantastic, very attentive. The food was phenomenal. We had quite a few small dishes and then one large dish so we could try a lot as there was only two of us. If you sit downstairs you get the hustle and bustle of the kitchen. If that is not for you, the upper level seemed a bit quieter and spaced out. We sat near the kitchen and loved it.

    The seafood pappardelle was lovely. Definitely try the calamari fritti. Was greeted enthusiastically whilst being seated promptly. Service was attentive and friendly. Really enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back. Thanks for the great experience.

    Great atmosphere and decor, knowledgeable and friendly staff, excellent food from the kitchen! The difficulty to reserve a table speaks for itself. ‐‐--‐--‐--------- Since the first review, we have been back numerous times. A big thumbs up to the Grazia team for maintaining the high standard.

    This place is amazing… incredible food, so delicious and lots of variety, and good specials. I don’t eat pizza but I absolutely love all their mains and the seafood pasta and risotto are mind blowing!! I eat there far to often but I’m obsessed with the flavors. The service and fit out is amazing, every table I have been given is perfect in its own way. A little bit of Italy in Malvern.

    Nice place with great service. Very attentive waiters. Unfortunately I wasn't blown away with the food. Don't get me wrong, it's very nice but I felt it could have been tastier! The bisque probably was a bit watered down and could have been tastier. The tortellini was perhaps a bit too creamy. Had lots of truffle oil though so don't order it if you don't like the truffle taste/smell. The bread was divine though!

    My family and I had the absolute pleasure of dining at GRAZIA this week and it blew our expectations in every way. The ambiance and décor were beyond beautiful. As for the food, it was absolutely fantastic! We tried many dishes and loved every one of them. We can’t wait to return as my family has voted it our favourite restaurant in Melbourne!

    I took my grandson Josh out for lunch today, friends had mentioned Grazia and as he is a foodie I decided to book. You walk into a cosy downstairs restaurant, that is just the beginning of your dining experience, you are then taken upstairs. Wow the architecture is amazing. Grazia keeps opening up in front of you. We were seated at a table where we looked up to the glass ceiling and the sky was above us. We felt like we were in Italy where the staff take waiting and service as a serious career. it was delightful. Josh said the attention given to us at our table made him feel special, I agree. Josh ordered, Risotto Frutti Di Mare, Cavalfiore Al Gorno and the Zucca Pizza and we shared all the dishes. As we chatted and ate we delighted in the quality of the ingredients, the flavour balance was a delicious treat. We enjoyed each dish. The chef and his team should be congratulated. Then on to dessert, Josh ordered Bombe Alaska, in memory of his late grandfather, this was his favour dish, and Josh ordered the Sfingi Sicilian doughnuts as recommended by our waiter, excellent recommendation Delicious delicious, delicious. The doughnuts were light as a feather, I have not seen a Bombe Alaska so perfect as this one for years, and the flavours a treat. All the Grazia team should be congratulated, they made us feel part of their family, as if they had known us for years and yet this was the first time we had dined at Grazia. Josh, my 22 year old foodie and I will go back regularly and eat our way through the Grazia menu. A lunch to remember, thank you

    We had a beautiful Sunday lunch with friends at Grazia. Everything was fantastic but the Tortelloni with mushroom & black truffle was a standout. Can’t wait for our next visit!

    Picture this, it is almost 10pm on a Tuesday night. While most other places are closing or have closed, this little restaurant in the suburbs is still buzzing with customers walking in. What is even more impressive is that they only opened in May. Within 2 months, there has been enough word of mouth that everybody is coming here. The waiter said that the Pappardelle was their specialty. Unfortunately the Pappardelle was only available with lobster. Since both of us are allergic to crustaceans, we could not order it. There were no other pappardelle options. I saw the Pappardelle being served and it looked incredible. I would definitely order this if I could eat it. The Vitello Tonnato entree was delicious, but rather small for $22. The Porchetta was amazing. Slightly charred, slightly smoky, perfectly seasoned, rich, crispy crackling. It is served with a poached apple which provides some welcome mild acidity and sweetness. The celeriac puree and what I presume is a gremolata rounds it off. It was really the star of the dinner. There is nothing I can say or suggest to make this better. The Tartufo (mushroom with truffle sauce) pizza was good, but not amazing. It lacks the smokiness that you get from other woodfired pizza places. As you can see from the photo, it is rather pale. I would have preferred a bit more char. The dough itself was nicely fermented with the delicious sweet aroma of yeast and fresh bread. The Bombe Alaska did not have the drama of being flambeed at the table, and the meringue was a bit too sweet. There is a little sliver of dried lemon on top which is intensely sour. The way to eat it is to take little bites of the lemon and a slice of the Alaska, they go wonderfully well together. The semifreddo itself had a gorgeous lemon perfume. My partner and I shared the dish, and she ate her half of the dried lemon in one go. She found it too sweet, but I found it was balanced if it was eaten with a bit of the dried lemon. To avoid mistakes like this, I suggest the chef dice the lemon and sprinkle it on top. The Sfingi Siciliani (donuts) was another brilliant dish, although still a bit too sweet. Take a look at the photo, the only other flaw was that it was a bit dense. The restaurant is new and shiny, and beautifully renovated. Staff were friendly and helpful, although our waiter should have spent more time looking at the table at people trying to get his attention rather than standing around and looking everywhere else except the tables. He walked past us 3 times, passing just 30cm behind me, and did not see me waving at him. The bill came to $122 for 1 entree, 2 mains, and 2 desserts. I consider that extremely reasonable for food of this quality and in a restaurant as beautiful as this - hence 5 stars. I have given small suggestions for improvement. Will definitely come back.

    Honest review - the restaurant was really beautiful, amazing decor, lovely atmosphere. Service wasn’t the fastest but still alright. The food wasn’t bad but not really worth the price for me. I think presentation and quality could’ve been better considering the price.
