Grazie Nonna is a bustling Italian eatery in downtown D.C., famed for its nostalgic dishes and lively atmosphere, serving everything from hand-tossed pizzas to hearty pasta, all made with quality ingredients and a touch of love.
"Downtown’s essential Italian restaurant is alfresco city dining at its best. The patio, which offers shade under the glossy Midtown Center complex, is now joined by a second one next door. Stylish sibling lounge Grazie Mille also offers a romantic outdoor setup adorned with chandeliers and flickering candles." - Tierney Plumb, Abi Newhouse
"Grazie Nonna will be offering its regular menu with some special dishes from chef Gerald Addison. Basically just a fun night with pizza and pasta — nonna’s preference. Reservations are available via Resy." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Partners Gerald Addison and Casey Patten (Grazie Grazie) brought hand-tossed pies and nostalgic Italian fare to Midtown Center in fall 2022. The red-sauced tribute to Patten’s nonna and her many Sunday suppers centers around pizzas, hearty bowls of pasta, and antipasti dishes like calamari, burrata, and arancini balls. A dreamy bar lined with family photos sends out Italian wines, elderflower spritzes, and Negronis three ways. An outdoor bar feels geared towards downtown’s 9-to-5 happy hour set, while glam lounge Grazie Mille arrived next door last year and added its own chandelier-lined patio this spring. Try its new Caesar for two, ribeye flambeed tableside, and decadent mac and cheese." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
"For pizzas, pastas and other Italian dishes, look no further than this relatively recent addition to downtown, now open Mondays." - Missy Frederick, Tim Ebner
