The Italian Grille: Reviews & Ratings
Dined in for a late lunch with a group of 6 on 11/6. Service was exceptional from start to finish! Started when server first came to greet us, informing us that Happy Hour was just starting at 2pm. She suggested the wing special-10 boneless wings with fries or Homemade chips for 8. 4 people in our group enjoyed this meal with chips and bourbon sauce being the favorites. Other meals were a huge calzone and an Italian trio, both were delicious and large portions. Lunch trio included a large bowl of soup, salad and breadsticks. Our server brought complimentary bread and dipping sauce to our table, kept drinks refilled and checked in often. She graciously provided us with drinks to go as several in the group were from out of town. Bonus was the owner coming out to thank us. Best all around dining experience I’ve had in months!
We had our son's birthday party here, they went above and beyond to make it a special memory for him. Thank you for everything, we will continue to keep coming back.
Italian Grill never disappoints! I’ve never had a bad pizza from here, and tonight was no exception. The pizza was loaded with plenty of toppings and cheese. Always a solid choice for great pizza!
Wait staff made a mistake and sent us home with a free packed up Calzone and didn't have too. The food portions are big, the pic. Of the Calzone looked little but when it arrived I couldn't finish it.
This was our first time. As I had seen some bad reviews, and was hesitant about going. Trevor was our server and should immediately get a Raise. He was an Absolute Pleasure!!!!! And They were busy with big prom tables . Our greeter also Very Kind and accommodating. As we are older and prefer table or booth , not high top. She worked us right in. It was loud, that’s why only 3 stars on atmosphere.The bread was fantastic. The salad I had was very good , a bit too many black olives and diced tomatoes but good. We both had choose your pasta and it was Great!!! Gonna try wings next time. That’s right... we’ll be back!!!
Great food , and server was very nice and attractive!! Great experience..
One of our favorite places to relax and enjoy their fabulous food. They make an awesome Bloody Mary!!
It might feel unusual to skip the pasta at an Italian restaurant, but trust me—the wood-fired salmon (cooked medium) is absolutely incredible! The flavor is pure perfection—chef’s kiss! The service is always top-notch, and knowing it’s a locally owned and operated business makes it even better to support. Highly recommend!
