"Thursday, December 22, 2022 12:00 pm Restaurants often have one outstanding feature whether ambiance, cuisine or service, Cafe Grazie has all of these. We celebrated the Holiday Season with lunch at this intimate Italian restaurant with a big personality. Don’t be put off by the location next to Dominos Pizza and overlooking the Albertson’s parking lot. Once through the front door you smell the sauce cooking and see the white tablecloths and contemporary art on the bright white walls, the exterior is forgotten. I ordered Salciccia Di Vitello (Ground Pork seasoned with Chili Piquin, Rosemary and Thyme and a Basil Garlic Marinara sauce, a house salad and a glass of chianti. The sauce had the deep rich flavor that comes when it cooks for hours over a low flame. Outstanding! My husband had the Prosciutto Caprese Panini with thin slices of Prosciutto, Fresh Mozzarella and Balsamic Glaze on House Made Bread (very flavorful with Tomato Garlic soup (especially good. For dessert we shared Tiramisu and Panna Cotta. The savoiardi (ladyfingers in the Tiramisu were moist with a hint of wine and the cheese layers were light and fluffy. It was topped with red and black raspberries on a white serving plate dotted with chocolate. The panna cotta (cooked creme , similar to creme brulee, was drizzled with raspberry sauce and a sculpted strawberry on the side. An upscale restaurant without upscale prices lunch ranges from $12 to $19 with $7 desserts. We are sure to be back for other lunches and dinners."
