our dinner started out slow due some confusion on who would serve our table. Cale stepped up to take on our service and knocked it out of the park! He knows the foood and wine menu very well, made great suggestions, and fulfilled all of our requests. the food was excellent- including the fire-baked pizza, and table-side cheese Alfredo service! athe four of us enjoyed a great evening, which was aided by Cale's great service. we will be back, and will request him as our server every time!

Phenomenal evening at Gratzi with great service and atmosphere. We had a large group and had delicious appetizers with an array of pasta bowls! Highly recommend for couples or small business meetings. Chris our waiter was also very good.

We had a small dinner here on a Monday night. The hostess took a bit to take us to our table, the initial table wasn't clean. But the table they gave us was clean and stable. We ordered Brussels sprouts , pasta, and two salads, one with salmon. The pasta was quite interesting. They showed us part of the process of how the sauce was made with the raw egg. Unfortunately, the food tasted a bit bland, besides the insalada mista which had a lot more mixed and blue cheese in it. The area was nicely decorated but there was a tv or two in the area if you need to catch up on a game or two. It felt out of place but that might be part of the small town feel. There is free street parking and there are double markings so your car will have plenty of room from the front and back!

Had a wonderful evening at Gratzi this Sunday with my boyfriend. Probably the best restaurant service I have ever experienced! My boyfriend had heard about the table side pasta and we made a reservation for the dining room after a day of walking through Dow Garden. It's a beautiful restaurant but I wouldn't say it's super romantic or intimate since the tables are so close together. Our server (I wish I remembered her name!) was SO kind and fun and we had such a great experience with her. We talked about TV shows and I can tell that she has good taste haha. She did a great job explaining the menu and going over the offerings and the ingredients that they use in their dishes and where they come from. She wasn't pushy at all with buying drinks or additional items which I always appreciate. I wish our waters got checked more often but that's the only little suggestion I have! We got started with some focaccia and an arancini amuse-bouche. The risotto arancini was delicious and flavorful and I thought the texture was fabulous, crispy on the outside but light on the inside. The focaccia was also very good, the cheese on top especially. We ordered the fried ravioli for our appetizer and that was also very tasty. You can definitely tell that they use fresh, local ingredients. The red sauce they were served with was so yummy I was scraping the plate! Even though they were fried they were not heavy at all and the cheese filling was nice and smooth. We both got the alfredo de tavola with grilled chicken for our entrée. The person who did our demonstration was also very kind and talked us through the aging process for the Parmigiano Reggiano. We did get splashed with the cheese a little bit but that's wasn't a big deal haha. The portion of chicken they gave us (in a separate bowl) was quite generous and I thought that the prices were quite reasonable for the level of service they provide. The fresh pasta was amazing and they definitely don't skimp out on how much cheese they give you for the alfredo. We were too full for dessert but we finished the night with a complimentary limoncello digestif that made the occasion feel extra special. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice date night restaurant or to celebrate a special occasion! We had SUCH a great time!

After being highly recommended by coworkers, I decided to have dinner at Gratzi on my final night in Midland. The meals are pretty pricey (especially for Midland standards) but all were plated nicely and tasty. Was this the best Italian food I've had? No- but for the classy ambiance, friendly servers and variety it brings to the Midland restaurant scene, I think this is a must-try place if you're in town. The focaccia bread they offer at the table was so fresh right out of the oven. The Pollo Toscano soup wasn't the best soup I've had, but hit the spot. For my main meal, I ordered the Pollo Mostarda which I've never had elsewhere. The goat cheese and fig added a nice creamy complement to the dish- only complaint is I wish there was an option for a non-cauliflower risotto option since I'm not the biggest fan of cauliflower and think regular rice risotto would work even better! Quantity wise, I wish there was a bit more offered and I definitely would have been hungrier had I not eaten bread/soup beforehand. Overall, a good place to get a classy meal in the heart of downtown Midland. I hope to be back soon!

Love the food here, especially the vegetarian options available. The pizza was really good, the crust was thin, chewy, and a little charred, just like we had in Italy. Tortellini was so good, and the Alfredo da tavola is a must to see at least once. The parmesan wheel comes from Italy and tastes authentic. Service was a little slow (and usually is) so expect to spend a decent amount of time here. There was a mistake with our order that was quickly resolved. Ambiance is elegant and classy, however there is no dress code so casual is fine to wear. Will be returning again!

Popped into Gratzi the other night and ate at the bar. Bar area is my favorite for dining there.. best vine imo. Went with the shrimp Alfredo, very tasty, very good. Wish there was another shrimp or two but I'm Splitting hairs. Service always good and friendly. Good dinner spot, celebrations, etc.

Finally had time to order take out from Gratzi tonight. Aside from my order taking longer to get through from the website, the food was outstanding. Bought two entrées, one for now, one for later. The carbonara was so good. A sharp, garlicky and flavorful. The panceta was perfect in it. Didn't taste like any I've had before, but I give it two thumbs up. My standard for chicken Marsala is carrabbas- theirs while not similar to carrabbas was outstanding. Great sauce over 2 breasts, served with broccolini overview ravioli. Amazing. Great place. Btw- if my pictures don't look great, it's because a pickup slammed on their brakes in front of me.
