Grato

This was my 3rd time at Grato and decided to get something new. Everything was delicious! The grilled octopus was amazing!!! The chicken Milanese was perfectly crispy and the lemon vinaigrette was refreshing along with the salad. My husband ordered the Orecchiette was well seasoned and creamy. Can’t wait to go back! Oh and the drinks were on point 👌🏼

First time here, pizzas were very salty.. And I usually like salty food. When ordering to go, I guess some of the ingredients were not listed because there was meat on one of my pizzas but it wasn’t listed on the online menu… I attached screenshot so maybe you guys can fix it. Also there was no blue cheese on the pizza and that one was listed… Unfortunately I won’t be coming back…

It was my first time at Grato tonight, Brandon our server made the ENTIRE experience! Such chill & welcoming vibes. The food overall was amazing! Meatballs, beet salad, & tuna tartare 100! If I’m being completely honest the pasta dish that he recommended was too salty and I don’t blame it on him as I know it’s a common back of the house error at times. Overall an amazing experience!

Grato is a gem! Let me start by saying the bread buns from the appetizer were absolutely my favorite dish, and I mean that in the best way possible. Yes, I know it’s just bread, but they were that good. Warm, soft, buttery perfection that made it hard to focus on anything else! The service was solid... attentive and friendly throughout the night. The lobster pizza was a standout, rich and flavorful without being too heavy. Definitely a must-try. We also loved the ambiance, industrial yet chic, with a stylish vibe and a bar that’s just the right size for a pre-dinner drink or casual hangout. All in all, a fantastic spot for Italian in West Palm. Can’t wait to go back!

Best gluten-free dairy free pizza in the area. Was recommended to me by a friend. Twas a deep dish gluten-free pizza, which I've never experienced in my whole 10+ years of being gluten-free (lifestyle chose me). Deelish fig old fashioned BTW so delightful and smooth not too sweet. Amazing service and great vibes!

I always loved the food here. Decided to come for brunch on a Sunday. We had a reservation but there was plenty of tables open. The server was nice and kind. But the real show stopper was the food! Amazing brunch items. The biscuit item with the pepper jelly was absolutely amazing. It was well balanced and tasty. The chicken sandwich my husband inhaled it! It was very flavorful and tasted fresh and home made. My husband loved the tiramisu it was made perfectly and airy and fluffy. Will definitely be back with our visitors from New York!

Grato is one of my favorite places for cocktails and pizza. My fiance and I love dining at the bar. The other night we had excellent service from Sheena and Kathleen. They were very personable and had me try a new cocktail versus my usual espresso martini. We had such a great experience this time at Grato and I cannot wait until our next visit.

Grato is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood! The food is fabulous, the service is impeccable and the atmosphere is perfectly chill and inviting. I’ve been many times with my family, friends, work mates and have had a wonderful experience every single time. Most recently my husband and I went for cocktails and dinner over the weekend. Sheena, at the bar, was attentive, speedy and incredible at handling the crowd. The food and drinks are delicious….we’ve had just about everything on the menu at this point. Don’t get me started on the sandwich shop…..my husband’s favorite of all time! Stop by and check them out. You’ll be hooked, like me!

DIVINE! One of our FAVORITE spots in town! Whether we are stopping by to chill at the bar or to grab a table with friends for dinner...here's a list of our go-to's that you cannot go wrong with: -Pear Martini, Espresso Martini, or the classic Dirty Martini (their other drinks are fab too but can you tell we love their Martinis?!?!...guilty!) -Italian Salad - crisp, fresh, surprisingly hearty -Meatballs - served on a bed of polenta that can only be described as heavenly -Diavola Pizza - a little savory...a little sweet...a little spice...a lotta YUM -Orecchiette - *chef's kiss* -Chickie Chickie Parm Parm - cannot go wrong Only downside is that this place is not in our kitchen so we can have it alllll the time!

We always enjoy coming here, but tonight was lacking. Our service was subpar. The bussers/wait staff did not help at all. Usually they are on point, clearing tables, bringing tableware, boxes...They were nowhere to be found when needed. Our server was the same. We waited for him to even show up gave up waters then left. We didn't see him for over 10 mins. Then asked for what we wanted to drink. We ordered our food at that point. He left, didn't see him again until we were almost done. We asked for the dessert menu and our dinner plates were still on the table. Needless to say the night was very rough since we never saw our server, but we at least enjoyed our food. The meatball polenta is delicious. Be prepared that the buffalo pizza is not a MILD buffalo pizza it is a HOT buffalo sauce. Make a reservation!

Came during their happy hour - it got quite busy pretty quickly. The place has horrible acoustics which made it quite loud. Happy Hour options are good - including food and alcohol. Food is mediocre , the chicken sandwich was quite dry. Pizza is your average pizza!!

Food, Service and ambiance A+. Came in for the Happy Hour to check it out. Did not disappoint! Highly suggest!

Food:2/5 Service:3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 I came here for a friend's birthday dinner. There was a 20 minute wait even though she had reservations. This place is relatively small inside. Once seated, we decided to go with the LOCAL MUSHROOM pizza which was around $23. The food wasn't up to par for me but edible. The sauce had no type of flavor. I requested a side of some type of sauce and the waiter looked at me with a blank look. Then arrogantly "tried" to make a joke about me to the table I was with. Before he could open his mouth to even lift his tongue, I had to tell him your pizza is flavorless & it's better if I correct it then send it back. Nothing on this menu looked extremely appetizing to begin with. I ended up getting marinara sauce on the side and after that showdown he apologized. I forgot his name but he was a black male, pretty average height, and he wore earrings. He was closing out the night as well (night staff). That experience did throw me off because immature workers shouldn't be working in hospitality ESPECIALLY when they're talking to someone that has experience with VARIOUS types of foods from DIFFERENT cultures. Anywho, I most likely won't be back. That experience did put a bad taste in my mouth. 2/5 stars. Food is edible, service is okay, ambiance- place is small but clean.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE for an all time fave. Their pizza and salads always slap (the diavola pizza and the Italian salad will change your life). Pair that with a pear martini and you're set for a good time. If you're more in a pasta mood, have no fear, they have you covered there too. The shrimp orecchiette is a game changer and the ricotta ravioli looked delectable as well. Do yourself a favor, sit at the bar, and have yourself a NIGHT.

Had a Margarette and Detroit style, both great but really loved the beet salad! So many great flavors!

Happy hour 5-6 even on Friday in season. Quite crowded so book in advance. Happy hour at bar or high tops. Food and atmosphere first class. Sister location to upmarket restaurant on Palm Beach Island. Good pour of beer. Fine meat balls and first class mushroom pizza. Excellent and understanding waiter which is typical of this classy restaurant. My wife has been there several times for lunch and never disappointed

One of my favorite meals during our visit to West Palm Beach was at Grato. I couldn't believe that Grato was able to accommodate our group of 11 the day before Thanksgiving! I was able to secure the reservation just four days in advance. The restaurant doesn't offer a children's menu, but they are family friendly and offered crayons and coloring pages to my toddlers. There are plenty of kid friendly dishes on the menu, including pizza and half portions of any of the pasta dishes. My five year old ate all of the half portion of pasta as well as several slices of pizza so I would only suggest the smaller pasta dish as an appetizer or for a very young child. I ordered a glass of chianti and the bucatini carbonara. The bucatini was absolutely delicious!!! The rich and creamy sauce was very filling, but had this been a less hearty sauce I would recommend pairing the pasta with an appetizer or salad. Will definitely be making a reservation at Grato next time I visit West Palm Beach!

The decor of the place is very nice and gives rustic vibes. The lighting is very dim. Good thing they have the candles on the table. Reading by candlelight. Be careful if you have children. Really great service despite a mix up on one of our orders. The taste of the food was very very good. Outstanding. But unless you're getting a pizza the portion size is not generous. One negative was the restroom. We were seated towards the back of the restaurant where the restroom is located. That led to random ppl standing by/over our table. They only have two and they are single use which leads to a long line at times.

A place to return to The atmosphere was romantic. What was impressive was their open kitchen concept. Super cool to watch dishes being made. We came to celebrate my son's birthday. We began with the Caesar salad, tuna tar tar and meatballs with polenta The salad was very beautiful tasting The Tuna tar tar was the star for me, the crispy rice packed full of flavor it was delicious The meatballs were recommend they were good For enter it was recommended to try the chicken lettuce wraps. In my opinion they were ok. Stick to the pasta. The other dishes I tried were all great but the bolognese is what I'd recommend. I want to try their pizza next time. I hope they extend their menu too.

Food uneven. The shakshuka is fine and came out hot . The breakfast sandwich came out cold and soggy along with the fries. Clearly had been sitting around waiting for the other dishes to finish. Pretty poor. Overall not worth it.

Ambience was wonderful! Brandon's service was top tier and he explained the menu perfectly. Highly recommend the meatballs and polenta!

I always feel like the HBIC when dining here the staff is SO attentive even the managers which you can only appreciate. The food is delicious drinks are lovely and trust me by always start with that tuna tartare! Love their pizzas too

BEST PASTA EVER!!! Can't go wrong with their handmade spaghetti! I was in town for business and ordered pickup, it was so amazing that I had to bring my boyfriend here for his birthday dinner a day after. Takeout- takeout was great. I had their small portion spaghetti. Portion was not as generous as I hoped for, but it was delicious and I had also ordered a salad and meatballs (meatballs were okay, I've had better), but at the end of the day it was perfect. The noodles were just so good I wanted more! Dinner- My boyfriend ordered their grilled salmon and I had the large/full spaghetti plate this time. It was just as amazing as the first time I tried it. We also had the tuna tartar and Bibb salad as our appetizers. Service could have been better, but the poor waiter was waiting on 11 tables on his own, so I get it. Ambiance- great for a nice drink, dim lights, and very aesthetically pleasing. MUST GET: spaghetti. Trust me.

We came in thinking we could get pasta but they were on brunch. The French toast wasn't available but we ordered the smoked trout dip and Caesar salad, they were so well seasoned and savory, if you love garlic, salty, rich, you'll love these two- the mushroom pizza was tasty not too bad and the gingerbread bread pudding was delicious as well a service was nice

John great bartender great Sunday brunch great pizza nice people hang out here there happy hour is real i think I'm running out of things to say ya got to go Ralphie boy is finished

Favorite spot for happy hour & pizza! The pizza is the best around. Great atmosphere & always great service. Good wine on tap during happy hour! The hummus was amazing - wasn't expecting it to be so good. Love this place!

This is by far my FAVORITE pizza joint in town. This restaurant has a fun vibe to it and the customer service is great. I never have to ask for a drink refill and the table is cleared off immediately when you're done eating. The cocktails are always amazing! My favorite appetizer is the Brussel sprouts which blends savory + sweet. My favorite pizza is the motor city supreme which is Detroit styled with sausage sopressata mushroom pepper and onion. The serving size is for two or else you'll have left overs for lunch the next day! My experience at this restaurant is a 10/10 each and every time. Valet is free for customers which is a plus. Reservations are highly recommended!

Fabulous pizza and attentive service ---friendly folks and a great bar. Just can't deal with the noise level---deafening---conversation impossible if Grato is packed. Grab an epic sandwich from the Buccan window and head home!

Ok where do I start, it's very loud and you have to yell to your friends to have a conversation. The service was ok not great, he kept forgetting the items we asked for. We ordered two pizzas with sausage and cheese and banana peppers, over powered flavor of vinegar from the banana peppers and the dough was not cooked all the way. The prices were very high considering what was served to us. We asked for the dessert menu and he brought the check? Oh well we will not return, I was not impressed at all!

Great vibe and cool decor! Johnny Bravo super cool bartender. We shared meatball appetizer which was really good. Also had the the cavatelli alla vodka which was a little spicy, but good. Drinks were awesome and Johnny made the best expresso martini! Definitely will be back:)

Ever go out to a restaurant and feel you're being hustled? Thats the feeling we got at Grato tonight. We were brought, and charged for, more drinks than we ordered and we were constantly badgered by bus boys (and girls) clearing plates while some of us were still eating. Bottom Line: The food is fine, the service is sketchy but together amounts to a bad deal. I'm will be in no hurry to go back to Grato.

Decided to give it a try on a Saturday night for an early dinner. Make the reservation this place gets packed. Valet is available and complimentary. We had tried grato's pizza on takeout so we were looking forward to having it fresh and hot. As appetizers we ordered the tuna tartare and the octopus both really good and flavorful. We go out most of the time with our daughter, so for families they do have highchairs and a kid coloring page but no kids menu. They do have margherita pizza and half pasta portions. We ordered a pizza and chicken parm to share ,both very good. My daughter loved the pasta that came with the chicken parm. For dessert we ordered the peanut butter s'mores and it was just ok, wouldn't order it again. Overall a good experience.

Had an amazing dinner here for my husband's birthday. For appetizer for had the Italian burrata. This was so light, fresh, sweet and salty. Perfect starter. For entrees we got the ricotta ravioli and the churrasco steak. Both were super flavorful and delicious. For dessert we had the snickers cheesecake. Really good and not too sweet. Everything 10/10 would order again.

Lively atmosphere, good service, good food and drinks. We had the meatballs with polenta appetizer which was good and then the branzino which was the best branzino I've ever had (and I've had my share). It was stuffed with some combination of vegetables, it had a delicious sauce on it, and it was cooked perfectly. Grato would be a good choice for a celebratory dinner. I look forward to returning and trying a few of their other items.

Seated promptly for our reservation. Asked to sit at the bar which the hostess was very accommodating. The service at the bar was excellent as we were greeted warmly by the server and she did a nice job in explaining the menu items we had questions on. We enjoyed the Carbonara, Octopus (excellently prepared ) and a margarita pizza . All very tasty and well prepared. Had a great experience at Grato and we will be back soon.

It's too loud, though delicious cuisine, well the orecchiette was and the Brussels sprouts were. But the Italian salad could have had Bottled Thousand Island Dressing on it, though I doubt it did, for all the difference it would have made to the recipe. My Brussels sprout small plate was quite good, though.

The ambiance. The food. The service. Top notch! We first visited Grato maybe 5 years ago; I'm not usually a fan of eating Italian out because we like to cook our own pizza and pasta at home. Our first visit left something to be desired and it took us 5 years (and a pandemic) to give Grato another shot- but BOY are we glad we did! Our waiter was terrific- the most accommodating, sharing the tip that any pasta can be combined with any sauce with endless pasta-bilities! We ordered the meatball appetizer and it was at the table before our waiter even finished taking our order. And the portions? We ordered two half portions of pasta, the meatball appetizer and a pizza. You would never know they were half portions. We most definitely required boxes. It's a great date night spot. Pro-tip: don't let a wait time discourage you. The hostess quoted us an hour wait time without a reservation and our table was ready within 15 minutes, before we could even finish one drink.

We stopped at Grato today after the boat show. Christian made us the Capresetini. Wow!!! It's a hit and the weekly special! You gotta try it!!!

This was a great find and we really loved our dinner! The staff was fantastic from the moment we walked in and the host greeted us and brought us to a table. He took a drink order for us before our server came over. The server was amazing and knew the menu like the back of his hand. He gave us a full run down of everything since it was our first visit. We opted to share the Tuna Tartare, Diavola Pizza, and a small Bucatini Carbonara. We seriously loved it all and it was the perfect size for 2 people to share. The pizza had the perfect amount of spice with the hot honey and it wasn't overpowering. The Carbonara was cooked perfectly and I grew up eating carbonara with peas, so that was great, although not authentic. Our drinks were delicious and reasonably priced for the pours. The drink list was large enough to find something for both us as well. The tables are pretty close together which made us feel like we were eating with a random group and that was our only complaint. Street parking was very easy to grab on a weekday at 7pm.

Atmosphere is really cool! Workers are very nice. Food came out pretty quick too. Can't go wrong with a margarita pizza. We also got the hummus plate for an entree. It was good but a little too much overpowering spices in the falafel & on the pita bread.

Fairly priced and good grub. My pasta with sausage was great. Menu a bit limited so don't trust photos of menu on website. Loud so turn off yer hearing aids!!! It was packed on Sunday night so make early reserves.

I popped into Grato right at opening aka 4pm on the dot. Within minutes many other patrons were lining up to get a table or pulling up a seat at the bar - having nestled into a table by myself I knew I was making the right decision. The look/feel of this restaurant is so modern - I loved the high ceilings, chandeliers, and fun artwork they had throughout. The staff was great, super friendly and sociable. I ordered a Margherita Pizza which honestly would have been enough for two to share, but I was starving so you know I gobbled it all up. If I'm ever in the area I'd love to pop back in to try more of their menu.

Parking can be difficult in this area, so I was happy to find Grato had a valet on the side street. The restaurant has a pleasant enough atmosphere, but a confusing decor with some music/movie star art mixed with some NYC art...not sure what they're going for. In any event, the service was decent and everyone was friendly. There's a significant din which made conversation a little difficult. It's one of the louder restaurants I've been to in a while. Despite the odd decor and background noise, the food helped this restaurant earn a solid 4 stars in my book. All of our meals arrived looking and tasting fantastic. I really enjoyed my summer salad and the cauliflower curry hummus. The hummus dish is practically a meal unto itself by the way. I'd also highly recommend the tortellini.

Be prepared to valet when you arrive. I didn't see an option for any other type of parking besides maybe street a block down. The valet at the time was complimentary just working for tips. Service was great. Everything I ordered was recommended and delicious. Started with the Tuna Tartare, then ordered the Bucatini Carbonara and finished with the Bread Pudding. I love that they offer two different size portions for the pasta's. I obviously ordered the smaller portion so I could get dessert. Only thing I'd change is maybe the host. The fact that I wanted a table alone and not to sit at the pizza bar bothered her. She had an attitude and wasn't very inviting also let me know I needed to be done eating by 7:30pm.

First time patron - and it won't be my last. The food was excellent- the service was great (more on this later) - and the design was perfect for that downtown vibe. If I had to dig and find something to consider for improvement it would be the over engagement of the service staff. As you were scooping the last of your meal - the service staff was right asking to take the plates away. This happened twice during the meal and both times our answer was no. It almost felt borderline rushed. And at the later hour - there were plenty of tables available so I don't think it was to rush us out - but instead just how they operate. Also, if you're looking for a quiet meal - this is not the place - at least not at the height of the average dining time. We sat at a smaller table for 4 and still needed to talk with a higher volume than normal - all while leaning in toward the middle of the table. But if great tasting food is your objective - Grato is a 5!

Solid unpretentious sister restaurant of Buccan. However, the menu lacks a bit of innovation - not sure if it has changed in the last 2 years at all. The Diavola pizza and shrimp pasta are the go to. Service can be spotty based on where you are sitted

Great service and atmosphere and they have GF options. Parking on the side streets is easy if you come early. Great for large parties as well.

Look no further than Grato when you want the best Italian food West Palm Beach has to offer. This chic restaurant has high quality, small plates of food that are great for sharing and tasting. We got several dishes that were all mind blowing in their own way. We started with small plates of fried Brussels sprouts and meatballs. Those Brussels sprouts are the best I've ever had. They were charred beautifully with pecans and the best candied, fried bacon I've ever tasted. The meatballs came as 3 and were plated atop some grits with pesto. I then had their carbonara pasta. This pasta was delicious with a thick and creamy egg-based sauce, bacon, and peas. The noodles are made fresh in house and you can really taste how good they are! Finally, we got their flourless chocolate cake with a Nutella whipped cream. The whipped cream is incredible, light and fluffy. The cake also has a nice sugary-crust surrounding the top, and the cake itself is dense, sweet, and the chocolate flavor is subtle yet tastefully added. It was the perfect dessert to end our meal. If you want the best Italian food in the city, Grato is definitely the place to go!

The food was great and drinks were well crafted! We had my friends engagement dinner here and it was a lot of fun.

Pizza crust is perfect, can sit at pizza bar and watch them cook you pie. The sauce is good but better if you add the crushed red peppers, and the mozzarella is fantastic! Had the margarita pizza with a draft peroni, felt like Italy. The waiter I had was very professional and arrived at the correct moments to check on me. To end the meal had a wonderful Negroni! Thank you all

Had a very poor experience with our carryout. Food was very overpriced, portions small, pizza was not very good at all. Nothing to bring me back. Very very disappointing. The butternut pizza tastes like pickled onion juice. That was the worst tasting pizza I ever ate

Omg the gluten free pizza. It is literally the best gluten free pizza of all time. My father-in-law has been gluten free for 20 years and he was jumping for joy in his seat eating the pizza. If you are gluten free and miss normal pizza check this place out!

My first experience at Grato was not great due to the staff who were extremely unaccommodating and unfriendly. While the food was great, the service ruined the dinner. However, I decided to go back 6 months later and I am glad I did. The restaurant was pretty empty for dinner on a Monday night. The waiter was attentive and the food came out quickly. The Tuna Tartare was incredible -- I would come back solely for this dish. The pasta dishes were all fantastic -- the pasta is all homemade and fresh. The Hand Rolled Macaroni, Spaghetti, and Bucatini Carbonara were my favorite pasta dishes. The Margherita Pizza was fine, but did not stand out compared to the other dishes. I will definitely be back to try other dishes since the menu changes frequently.

We love coming here for a habitual date night. The ambiance is always romantic and chic. The food is unbelievable consistent in taste and quality. My favorite is any pasta and their meatballs. On this occasion we had the ceviche and the octopus for appetizer, both very very savory! My spicy flamingo cocktail was also delicious, no complaints. The servers are always quick to tend to the table and your water glass is always full (love that!). All in all a solid restaurant we come back to again and again, beautiful decor and delicious food makes it easy for us. Ohhh and their brunch which I've been to a few times is also FABULOUS; I haven't been in a while but last time I did go they had unlimited or bottomless frozen Moscow mules and other drinks.

Good: Nice atmosphere. Waiter was excellent. The pasta and chicken parm were okay. Challenges: Difficult parking. Don't bother with the Detroit style pizza. It was a cold, solid brick with a bit of sauce and cheese.

If I was really able to...I'd give it a 4+. It's always solid. They recently went through a menu change which I feel was needed. The previous menu which there are classic carryovers was heavy and very pasta forward. The newer menu implements some amazing adaptations. The Lomo Saltado is phenomenal. Crispy Artichokes are great snack. If you have kids they do a great pasta with red sauce that will keep your fork in your kid's plate frequently. Overall it's always been and continues to be a great spot just outside of downtown. Enjoy!

As always, One of my FAVORITE restaurants in town! I got the sweet potato lasagna and I just couldn't believe how well the flavors blended together . Also got the pizza and it was amazing. Nice crust in great topings! Display it's always has new recipes and he's always pushing the bar, higher and higher, I love this place and can't go enough Forgot my servers name, but he kept us laughing and gave us good recommendations
