    Grazie Bistro was a delightful dining discovery! We went in for an early dinner so it was quiet and relaxing. The menu was pretty extensive. Lots of choices from fine dining to burgers and pizza if you wanted something laid back. We were greeted warmly and our server was just a lovely person. We started with the Crab Arancini which was perfectly prepared... light and full of crab. No fillers! I had the fresh made Papparadelle with Bolognese. The portion was perfect and it was so delicious I ate the whole thing! I also had the Caesar salad which was beyond mundane. It actually looked elegant and tasted scrumptious. My husband order the Pear salad and the Chicken with green peppercorn sauce. Both were excellent. We had to try a dessert since everything else had been so yummy. Ordered a lemon tart served with vanilla gelato and didn't leave a bite! I think it's important that patrons recognize that this restaurant is not a pizza joint. It is a fine dining experience and I have to say as someone who is a really good home chef and a very experienced restaurant goer that THIS spot hits the spot. I will definitely be frequenting it. The prices are SO reasonable to score even extra brownie points. Honestly, I can't say enough.

    Went here for Valentines Day with my wife. We did the 3 part course. It was really incredible. Our server Jake was great, answered all of our questions and was just extremely pleasant, and he was busy making sure he reached out to everyone. So it was great to see someone always checking in and making sure everything was good. The rest of the staff was very attentive, polite and really made sure the experience was wonderful. The prices were great and the food was incredible. Especially the mashed potatoes….awwweeesome!

    Took my wife there for Valentine's Day, food was phenomenal, the atmosphere was very cozy, quiet and perfect for a romantic night out. Service was a bit on the slow side, however, they were very busy, so not a major complaint. The staff was still very attentive. We will definitely be back. The patio outside looks like a perfect place for a summer date night.

    A variety of food and beverage choices, ample portions but not too large, and very tastefully prepared dishes. The veal parmesan was outstanding and it's aptly called the "World's Best". All staff are friendly, courteous and attentive. Thank you for delightful and satisfying food, service and ambience. Exceeded expectations. Will definitely be returning.

    We enjoyed Parc on a cold, snowy evening in February. The restaurant was cozy and warm, and the feeling was too! Our server, Jose, was great - friendly and with just the right amount of check-ins. The beet salad was yummy, with lots of beets cooked to perfection and a great mix of flavors. We both enjoyed Trout Amandine - a large portion with a hearty helping of haricots verts. The cranberry walnut bread was also delicious! We will go back tomorrow to buy a loaf to take home! If only the glass of wine wasn’t so pricey. But who can have a meal like this without a glass of wine?
