Graziano's in the Gables

Graziano's in Coral Gables is an absolute gem for anyone seeking an authentic Argentine dining experience. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to the heart of Buenos Aires, where the passion for food and hospitality is palpable.**Food:** The menu at Graziano's is a carnivore's dream, featuring an impressive selection of grilled meats cooked to perfection over a wood fire. The *bife de chorizo* (New York strip steak) was a standout, melt-in-your-mouth tender with a perfectly charred crust. The *morcilla* (blood sausage) was another highlight, rich and flavorful without being overpowering. But it's not just about the meat - the sides are equally impressive, from the crispy, golden *papas fritas* (fries) to the fresh and flavorful *ensalada mixta* (mixed salad).**Ambiance:** Graziano's exudes a warm and inviting ambiance, with rustic brick walls, dim lighting, and cozy seating arrangements. The open kitchen adds to the lively atmosphere, allowing diners to witness the culinary magic happening behind the scenes. Live music on select evenings further enhances the dining experience, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere.**Service:** The service at Graziano's is impeccable. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring our glasses were always full. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness.**Overall:** Graziano's in Coral Gables is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional food, warm hospitality, and a taste of authentic Argentine culture. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a delicious meal, Graziano's will not disappoint. **Additional Tips:*** Make a reservation, especially on weekends, as the restaurant can get quite busy.* Don't miss the *provoleta*, a grilled provolone cheese appetizer that's absolutely divine.* Save room for dessert! The *flan con dulce de leche* is a decadent treat that's worth every calorie.

Im going to start with the bad here- the service was rough. Our server took a while to arrive at our table once we were seated. He was not overly attentive nor any type of stand out service was provided. The tables were so tight, almost impossible for anyone to walk in between them and we were inches from the people next to us. Once we got our drinks, a sangria, a waiter passed by and knocked over my entire drink, breaking the glass, spilling all over our table and bread, napkins, everything. I suggested we just get up and move tables but they insisted on cleaning up the whole table right in front of us and replacing all the linens while we sat there for what felt like a long time waiting for them to clean the huge mess of a full red sangria. They did replace the sangria but I sat there waiting. At the end we expected to receive an apology for the spill or maybe have the drink or something comped- but this was not the case. The waiter was very cold to us when we asked for the check and did not offer to comp anything on the bill. Which in this day, is a standard courtesy I would think. Our food was delicious, we ordered a skirt steak which they split in two for us, a side of mashed potatoes, and the ravioli. The steak and mashed potatoes were the stand out. The pasta was very good but probably not what they are known for but a nice addition to the menu. The sangria was very tasty and they had a great wine selection although the bottles were very pricy. And our wine didn't arrive until after the meal was served and I had to remind the waiter. The ambience itself was very nice, the design and lighting was perfect. It's a very family friendly environment. I wouldn't recommend it as a romantic date night though. It was pretty loud and there were lots of children even on a Saturday night at 8:30 pm. Also there were no two-top tables. Which is probably part of the space problem I mentioned earlier. Overall I would come back with a group for the quality and variety of the food. However you can find MUCH better service in coral gables than you would find here and I would not recommend for a date night.

Excellent food, great classy ambianceCame here for a business meeting on a Tuesday and it was surprisingly full. Had the aged provolone cheese that was topped with tomatoes, oregano oil, prosciutto, grilled eggplant and cherry tomatoes. DeliciousShared the bistecca alla fiorentina and it's one of the best I ever had. Loved how it was served on a hot warming platter. Well done. Will be back.

Another 5 star rating because Graziano's just knows how to do it. From the phone reservation to the warm and welcoming greeting upon entry, from Ceci to the impeccable service from Ana, Bea and the team, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Hands down, this place makes the very best lamb chops in Miami; cooked medium rare and wood fired with salt and pepper; simple and amazing! The seafood risotto was incredible and so was the octopus. We also had the salad that was good. The wine selections suggested by Ana, were all great and went well with the dishes. We can't wait to go back, for excellent service (a rare find these days), a beautiful ambiance (no overwhelming flashy lights and pizazz) and excellent food. It's great! Check it out and enjoy!

Graziano's is like a candy store but for adults, I'd been there some ten times in the last year for breakfast or lunch and I can tell you the food is not only delicious but with a high quality that goes from their incredible collection of finger cakes, empanadas, Cuban sandwiches and a dozen other delicacies!!! Service is quick and friendly with affordable prices that make you think you did the right choice. The venue that I been in its modern, elegant and because they don't only sell food but also wine and beer, you feel like in a large winery with pats and cakes all over... I love the place it's in the heart of Coral Gables South Miami... I encourage you to visit it when you are here.

Graziano's sets the bar high with impeccable service that left a lasting impression. Our waiter, whose name I regretfully can't recall, went above and beyond, from attentively portioning our appetizers to ensuring every detail was taken care of, including cutting my nephew's chicken breast meal for us. The food was nothing short of amazing, with highlights like the cheesy provoleta appetizer and the mouthwatering 24oz Entraña steak, which my husband and I shared. The mushroom risotto complemented our meal perfectly. And the wine list is very, very long -- you'll surely find a new favorite. Graziano's is a must-visit, offering both outstanding food and service that exceeded expectations. Highly recommended.

Everything was excellent. Although I don't think I have ever had a meal in Coral Gables that wasn't 10/10. Everything is always upscale, well presented, and absolutely delicious. I love how cultured the area is too. Lots of options to choose from! Anyway, the ambiance was by far my favorite. I loved the shelves of wine that aligned the entire restaurant. There was a very upscale, trendy European/South American feel. Excellent wine menu. We started with an Argentine Chardonnay that was wonderful, and then we moved onto two bottles of Oregon Pinot Noir that were outstanding. The service was impeccable. Very Argentinian menu - so meat dominant, but still, lots of options to choose from. Loved the Provoletta Prillera, which I am told is a traditional Argentine dish. Some of our party wanted steak well done and others wanted it medium, so they brought it over on a little stone plate with steak at different temperatures, fantastic idea! The Portobello mushrooms risotto was delicious, and I enjoyed my chicken milanesa. For dessert, we had Carajillos (first time for me). Coffee and liquor 43 on ice. Fantastic after dinner drink. They had the Argentine soccer game on while we were there, which was a nice, fun touch. Everyone was dressed so well too!

Service is good! Food is pricey 1 entrańa steak, 1 slice of tortilla, 1 sangria and 1 coke $73. The sangria was sour yuk the test was ok. The steak had no seasoning. A little disappointing.

I need this grocer in my neighborhood Everything is top quality and the shelves are full of imported products from their correct regions of the world

DO NOT ORDER TAKEOUTmultiple times i ordered empanadas from here and they ALWAYS gave me the wrong kind. Instead of calling and letting me know that they were out of a certain kind of empanad HORRIBLE SERVICE. save yourself the time and money by not ordering here.
