Grazie has to be the OG restaurant in the Southcenter area. They serve a wide selection of delicious menu options. A perfect place to visit while in the area.Posted on Google
Jey_7 June 2026This lovely gem in Tukwila is definitely worth visiting. Intimate atmosphere good for family, friends or date. The wine menu and menu variety were phenomenal. The server suggesting some of their favorites was a nice touch. This place is top notch and affordable. Definitely recommend.Posted on Google
Wojtek Las5 May 2026Found this place by accident as it's tucked away in the corner of the plaza next to Men's Warehouse in South center. Place is a bit small and rustic but the server, service and food was very good. I head a pasta and do have to say that it was a bit overloaded with sauce, at least for me way too much. The tiramisu was super, we loved it. Give this place a try.Posted on Yelp

Look - before I even start this review, I have to say that Grazie's is not a place where you go because you found it on Eater. Nope. Nothing highend about the place. However ... talk about a hidden gem. The atmosphere in a strip mall parking lot bookended by a Men's Warehouse and bridal boutique do not give full credence to Grazie. It is truly a sheep in wolf's clothing. And you know what they say about underestimating the sheep .. or is it the wolf?! Anyway, this is a family place that begs for a starring role in a west coast production of Big Night. Lots of food. Tons of kindness. And a special feeling that has you leave your meal not only satisfied in your gastrum, but completely content in the your soul. The food is good - and that's not a bad thing, but the service is really great. Make a night of it. However, before you venture into the shopping mall madness of Tukwila - check your foodie snobbery at the door. This place is just fun!Posted on Tripadvisor

Best Italian anywhere in Sea-Tac area? Undoubtedly the Best restaurant anywhere near Southcenter Wish I would have known about it years ago- great Italian food is hard to find in the Seattle area. Locals may think they know good places- but they really don’t…Posted on Yelp

We had a very nice dinner at Grazie in Tukwila with a group of four. Making a reservation was easy, which we appreciated. There was a slight awkward moment when we arrived -- two of our party were still parking, and it briefly felt like we might not be seated until everyone arrived. That hesitation passed quickly, but it was noticeable. Once seated, there was a bit of initial confusion as we were passed between a couple of staff members while our assigned server was reportedly in a meeting. A little strange, in my opinion, but once that was sorted out, the service was very good and genuinely engaging for the rest of the evening. We ordered a bottle of wine from a solid wine list; great selection of wines and an excellent choice by my wife (the expert). The food was the real highlight: the puttanesca was awesome, the lasagna was large and quite good, and the capellini seafood dish was also very well done. Dessert was another standout. I loved the old-school dessert tray brought to the table.... a charming touch and a fun way to choose. Everything looked tempting. The restaurant itself is a quiet little place that filled up as the night went on, yet it maintained a calm, intimate atmosphere throughout the evening. A few minor service hiccups at the start kept this from being a full five stars, but overall it was a very enjoyable dining experience with excellent food, good wine, and a warm ambiance. We'd happily return.Posted on Yelp
Beth J.10 November 2025This is the best Italian food in Tukwila, by a long shot. It's busy at night and on weekends, but there's a reason why! The seating arrangement is not the greatest, but I would sit in the deep freezer for their capellini gamberetti or cannelloni. Be sure to try the torta della nonna or tiramisu with a nice dessert wine. Make reservations!Posted on Google
Leonard Orth21 May 2025This has been our favorite Italian restaurant for about the last twenty years. We frequented their Tukwila location before they opened this location. Food is exquisite. Service is always great. Ambience is the best. You might want to make a reservation because this place is almost always packed. As is the Tukwila location.Posted on Google
Elina Mitchell4 April 2025This was one of my favorite places to eat as a kid and now still a fave for date nights. Small and cute little corner restaraunt in the southcenter area. I decided to order through grubhub tonight and my fettucine tasted shrimpy. I didnt order any seafood, but decided to call and check to see if I missed a seafood oil in the recipe as I didnt see any shrimp. The manager told me there shouldnt be anything seafood related in it and was able to remake the dish correctly and even made sure to have it redelivered to solve the issue. He was unbelievably sweet and understanding. Thankyou so much for going above and beyond to fix my order for me!! I was honestly shocked how much he cared about making my experience great.Posted on Opentable

Our favorite hidden gem in Southcenter. Mainstream italian-style food served by experienced and competent staff. All the standbys: various fresh-made pastas with well-chosen ingredients, a rack of lamb and various fish. I like the beef medallion dish, especially the "reduction". I asked to have lower-carb mushrooms substituted for the default pasta and they happily complied The dessert tray, from which you can select at your table after your meal, always includes a dozen or more of a wide variety of treats.Posted on Google
Theresia McLynne14 November 2024Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants! The food is absolutely delicious (everything I've ordered), & the employees are long-term & excellent (can't impress that enough!). Very personable, friendly, efficient, & great service - very accommodating. (The Bothell location, specifically - food in Tukwila is also excellent, but the location is much smaller, more difficult to get a decent table, & the wait staff not as friendly or efficient). Can't wait for our next trip to Grazie's! 😋Posted on Google
John Brunzell3 November 2024This was my second visit to this incredible secret located in a strip mall - where I don't typically go to find good authentic food! I first at here for lunch and had one of the best filet bits on a bed of greens, I never knew I would say, was absolutely delicious! The second time I went here was for dinner. I made reservations, which I would recommend, and we were seated the minute we arrived. Our server, who advised me the first time I came, that he's worked here over 20 years - (anyone who has worked at the same restaurant for that many years either is an owner or truly dedicated to their business because of its awesomeness). He was great! He treated us very well and recommend some of his favorite meals and we were very satisfied! I ordered the veal saltimbocca (his favorite was the chicken saltimbocca, however I love veal!) - it was the best I'd ever had! One friend had the chicken cacciatore (not something I would order, yet after having a bite, I would indeed order this here) and my other friend had the special garlic encrusted lamb chops which were over the moon! For dessert- tiramisu! Which was delicious! I am very delighted to find this incredible restaurant - Grazie Ristorante, in Southcenter (of all places). I will certainly be back! Thank you all and Grazie!! Fantastico!!Posted on Google
MARKA PRO15 September 2024This is a hidden gem in Tukwila, We were a party of 9 and a baby. We were warmly greeted and seated by Reyna. Our server Irma gave us a superb fine dining experience. The food was beyond expectations, everyone in our group were very pleased with this flavors and just let me craving for more. Needles to say that I highly recommend Grazie 👌 and I can wait to come back.Posted on Opentablevincent8 August 2024Overall great experience. The best part is how accommodating they were with a member of my party with food allergies. They sent a note and even called to explain the situation. It is so very very much appreciated!!! Food was awesome as usual and the service was great. A little slow but that’s because it was so busy when we went in. And I like a busy restaurant. It means they are doing something right! A wonderful little gem in South Center.Posted on Yelp
Jolynn C.6 August 2024Best restaurant in the Southcenter area! I have driven past it my whole life, but just recently tried it out. We have been a handful of times now and have not been disappointed. The service is amazing and the food is spectacular. Prices are very reasonable. The dessert is so tasty, you can't pass it up.Posted on OpentableMelissaP4 May 2024Our favorite restaurant in the southcenter area. Food is delicious and service is friendly and attentivePosted on Yelp
Eric Lane B.14 April 2024We stopped at Grazie in Southcenter tonight because we were close by, and the reviews were so stellar. We were not disappointed! I had a small side salad and then the cannelloni: fresh pasta stuffed with sausage, chicken, mushrooms, ricotta, fresh mozzarella and fresh spinach, served on pomodoro sauce and topped with béchamel. (I took the wording right off the online menu.) My husband had the filetto gorgonzola and sauteed spinach; his entree came with a side of pasta. I know what you're thinking: 'A side of pasta is just a dumb throwaway.' You are wrong! This side of pasta was utterly delicious! My husband then had a peanut butter/chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Everything we had, from the sourdough bread w/ flavored olive oil through the entrees and dessert was simply fantastic. The depth of flavor in everything was spectacular (the pomodoro sauce under the cannelloni was bright and rich, the filling was delicious but not overly heavy.) The service was top-notch and the ambience very cozy. This is the best kind of find: an independent restaurant with great food and service. We will definitely be back!Posted on Tripadvisor

Dan Hein21 January 2024Best Italian restaurant in Tukwila! I highly recommend the Lasagna!Posted on YelpPaul P.1 January 2024First time visting Grazie and was amazed by the friendliness and attentiveness of the service and staff. The environment was intimate and would be great for a date night. We ordered the ribeye steak, chicken Marsala, linguine Marco, and pasta w/ red sauce. We also started w/ antipasti de giorno, salad and bread. All the food was served warm and everything tasted delicious. We may have found our new favorite Italian restaurant in Tukwila. Will be coming back no doubt. Thank you to everyone at Grazie for such an amazing dining experience.Posted on Yelp
Thomas M.30 December 2023Following the official oath of office as the 21st Mayor of Tukwila, we were looking for some fine dinning to match the moment. We were recommended to try Grazie's near Southcenter, next to Men's Wearhouse. We could not have made a better selection. The food, service, and ambience were perfect. Affordable, elegant, warm and personable. The owner came to our table to welcome us. if you are looking for great Italian experience go to Grazie's.Posted on Google
Carolyn Carnes28 December 2023Hard upon Southcenter Mall, this is one of our favorite places to hit when we're in the neighborhood. They have a decent wine list, good seasonal specials and accommodating staff. I particularly recommend the spinach salad and the filet with gorgonzola. I think I managed to save some space for dessert just once...Posted on Opentable

Nice find in Tukwila. Pleasant ambiance and a lively spot. Nice variety of dishes as well as a good selection of wines and cocktails. Carbonara was not on the menu but they said they will be happy to cook it. Service was efficient and friendly. Worth another visit when in the area.Posted on Google
Kelly Neff-Montgomery5 December 2023South center location. Pasta cooked perfectly, veggies on top not over done. The simple side salad was so good, I'd go back just for that .Posted on Opentable
OpenTable Diner27 November 2023We just happened to come across Grazie’s Ristorantie because it was close to our hotel and we wanted Italian food. The rating was much better than the others so we made a reservation. We had no idea of the surprise that awaited us. We had reservations just as they opened, when we arrived there, there was already a group formed, this should have been enough of a clue already. After entering we found a charming atmosphere, shortly after we were waited on by a happy and kind staff. Our incredible table host was Jasmin. Jasmin helped us pick out our favorite wines and was kind, courteous and friendly. Up to this point we didn’t think it could get much better, then the food showed up. I’m not sure if OMG really covers our full expression. This food was easily the best Italian that we’d ever had. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and my wife had the chicken Marsala. We are still raving to each other about how incredible the whole meal was and how lucky we were to stumble across it. We sure wish we had one in our home town. Next time we’re staying near Tukwila we will definitely be dining there again. Mike and Naomi. Dined in 11/25/23Posted on YelpLori C.30 October 2023I have eaten at this little, intimate strip-mall gem numerous times, and we have made dinner at Grazie our Christmas Eve tradition. We have always received great, knowledgeable service and always REALLY delish food. I have had numerous salads and appetizers - all so good. The caeser salad is made as it should be, with anchovy and a little bit of kick. I have had spaghetti with sausage links, spaghetti with meatballs, lasagne, and numerous specials, including salmon and halibut. My favorite pasta is the Linguine Marco, pictured, with really tasty and flavorful chicken, pine nuts, perfectly roasted garlic, capers (which I omit), a touch of feta that melts perfectly into the sauce, which is made with lemon, which is subtle, wine, and a tiny bit if cream. I crave this pasta! My husband loves the cannelloni and the linguine di Mare. They have a great wine list, including lots of italian imports - let them pair your meal with the perfect wine! They have a great dessert selection, but I rarely have room after dinner. The tiramisu is ON POINT! The Southcenter location serves beer and wine only, hence only 4.5 stars, but this should stop no one from trying Grazie!Posted on OpentableJoanW27 October 2023Grazie is my favorite restaurant for informal gatherings. The Southcenter Parkway location is ideal for me (a South Sounder) to meet up with my Seattle friends. The service is excellent, the food always good, and the prices extremely reasonable. Give Grazie a try! You'll be glad you did.Posted on OpentableMarieG19 October 2023A wonderful evening. Our server, Jazmyn, was a true delight. Very knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommend Grazie. You will most definitely need reservation for the Southcenter location as it is small. There was not an empty table.Posted on Google
Reed Madden3 October 2023I have been traveling for the last 3 weeks. I have been out to eat or had food delivered. Everything I've had was meh, at best. Tonight I was craving Italian food and found Grazie Ristorante in South Center. First, the atmosphere is perfect for a couple out on the town or a group of friends looking to have a nice dinner together. My waiter, Jet, was fantastic. He started with asking if I'd been there before and told me his favorites and the newest dishes. I usually have to ask and the servers have no clue as to what is great. First bread, oil and balsamic vinegar were served as a first course. The bread was fresh and the oil and balsamic were the right amount of tart. My lasagna came out and it was worth the wait. It was hot, fresh and fantastic. The portion was enough for 2. Then I asked about dessert. They have a serious selection, if that's your thing. I choose the mixed berry tart and it was everything it was promised to be and more. If you're looking for good Italian food where the prices are on the upscale side with good reason, delicious food and fantastic service, give Grazie's a try.Posted on OpentableSuper20 August 2023Nice Place in Tukwila to visit for Dinner. Great Service and Food!Posted on Tripadvisor
Randomguy12819 August 2023Amazing food, great staff. Do NOT underestimate because of location Im Italian. My grandma was born in Italy. Im from New York. I live in Chicago. Ive been to Italy, all over. This is the best Italian I've had outside of Italy, and better than a few in Italy. Listen, I get it, its in a strip mall in Tukwila WA. You're thinking, no,this guy is crazy. Hes not. Im an Italian food snob. I make my own fresh. I know good, and this is it. Take your spouse. Tell your friends. Drive from Portland. My wife had lasagna, I had the tortellini in creamy pesto with gorgonzola. Fresh, hand made pasta. Amazing pesto. Perfectly cooked lasagna. The wines were imported and perfect pairings. I had a Tuscan white my wife had a red. The staff was amazing. The bread and the oil with red pepper was perfect. Highly recommend. 12/10 stars.Posted on OpentableOpenTable Diner13 August 2023What a great experience in Grazie Ristoranti Southcenter. Food was amazingly good!! Their dessert tray is heaven!!

S W26 April 2023I've been going to Grazies for nearly 2 decades, and the people, atmosphere, and food have all remained consistently excellent. Grazies is my goto for Italian when near Southcenter. The location and restaurant are a bit cozy, so be sure to make reservations and park at the other end of the lot if things are too limited near the front door.Posted on OpentableJeff5 April 2023As always, Grazie - Southcenter delivers 100%.

Grazie's has been in Southcenter for many years now, and we've been there many times. The staff is always courteous and quick; and the food is delicious. They have an excellent choice of wine and desserts as well. The only downside is finding parking, especially during peak meal times.Posted on OpentableDianeG15 February 2023Always a very pleasant dining experience at Grazie SouthCenter location. The staff is very attentive, great with wine suggestions and pairings. We had a wonderful Valentine dinner date at our favorite Italian restaurant.Posted on Yelp
Trinh Q.30 January 2023I have been going to South Center in the past 20 years and I've never known about this hidden gem until now. Very good Italian food. Dessert is good too. Highly recommend the lemon almond cakePosted on OpentableOpenTable Diner24 January 2023Ate here with a work group. It was great food. I was happy with the drinks.

Jag M7 January 2023This place has the best pasta and best service hands down. The pastas are high quality and good portions. We come here every time we come down to this area. The food is 100% better than the southcenter location as well.Posted on OpentableSuziR6 November 2022What a phenomenal little gem! Located in a Southcenter strip mall near Men’s Warehouse. The restaurant is quite small and compact, yet full of Italian ambiance. From the initial greeting, to the table awaiting, to the exit, service was top notch. The layout made the best use of the small space. I ordered the house salad, absolutely the best house salad I think I’ve ever had, with lots of freshly grated Parmesan. Also the chicken parm. The chicken was extremely tender and well cooked. Veggies perfectly done. And the gluten free pasta made me happy! I chose a pumpkin cheesecake for dessert, well, because it’s the season. But the dessert tray looked amazing. Prices did not reflect our skyrocketing inflation. Come to think of it, the only thing that could have been better would be to add cloth napkins. Definitely would be a favorite of mine if I lived closer!Posted on Opentable

BruinDan12 October 2022So, so good! Located in a strip center on Southcenter Parkway, Grazie Ristorante is an Italian restaurant featuring wines and foods from the different regions of Italy. I had the pleasure of dining there in late August of 2022. I had a feeling I was in for a good meal when the complimentary bread was brought out with a dish of olive oil … but, it wasn’t ordinary olive oil; it was infused with garlic. Then came my side Caesar salad, which was excellent. My taste buds now sufficiently awakened, I was looking forward to my pasta. I ordered a relatively pedestrian dish – capellini primavera – and yet it was prepared with a care I never would have anticipated. The pasta was al dente, the vegetables maintained their texture, and the flavors were intoxicating. It was quite simply one of the best pasta meals I can remember having. The interior décor of the restaurant was tasteful, the dining room was clean and well-maintained, and the service I received was attentive and professional. The menu prices were not necessarily cheap, but they weren’t out of line, either. I definitely enjoyed my meal at Grazie Ristorante and can confidently recommend it to others.Posted on Yelp
Donna R.8 October 2022It's a personal favorite located in Tukwila. Love the homemade bread with the olive oil dipping sauce. The minestrone soup is awesome--would pick this up to go...had the seafood linguine tossed in olive oil, artichoke, pepper flakes...light meal by comparison. For dessert had the homemade spumoni yum! No one makes the ice cream as good as Grazie. Check it out!Posted on OpentableTrudieB23 August 2022Ahhhmazing food!! Visited on our last night in Tukwila and had such a wonderful meal.Posted on Google
Caitlin Conway22 August 2022So good! Love the food, love the service. The restaurant is really dimly lit for that romantic feel. Great place for a date. But they also have room for bigger parties too. Best Italian restaurant in South Center. Forget Olive Garden, Grazie is where you wanna go or order take out. Their food is so good and very reasonably priced. If you're gonna pay pretty much the same price, might as well get twice the quality of ingredients from Grazie Ristorante.Posted on Yelp
K M.10 August 2022I am fortunate to be able to travel this great country (and many others) and find wonderful restaurants to indulge that are sometimes off the beaten path. Gracie in South Center outside of Seattle is an absolute gem, some of the finest Italian food I have ever consumed, that includes Italy! Service is second to none and the marseille gravy is the best I have experienced! You guys don't know me because I usually duck in early by myself but keep up the great work! So happy you survived the pandemicPosted on Yelp
Sidney P.1 August 2022Just like it's sister restaurants in Bothell, the Grazie in Tukwila is remarkably good. They've turned a strip mall location into a very comfortable and cozy dining environment. Menu has lots of traditional Italian faves, and plenty of unique items as well. At the end of dinner, they also have a tray of yummy desserts they bring for viewing to your table. We had a great experience here and would highly recommend!!Posted on Yelp
Philip P.28 June 2022It's not often that I try new Pasta places when I've already settled on a favorite. Well here I was with some out of town folks that picked this spot. Not a bad choice, but my first impression wasn't so go great at first. The host who may have been the floor manager seated us to our table and just was not friendly at all. He be mean mugging the whole night. I guess he was having a day, but seriously, he did not feel very inviting. Luckily the rest of the staff was a whole lot kinder and friendlier, else I would've brought this place down. Food wasn't too bad. Free bread with oil was given to us as we waited for our food. Wasn't anything too special. Would have liked the bread to be a bit heated up. That would have been a nice touch. The Linguine di Mare was a solid choice for me. You had the option of getting it with Romero cheese sauce or a spicy tomato sauce. I didn't want my clothes to get red stains cause it tends to happen whenever I eat anything with red sauce, so I went for the Romero cheese sauce instead. The pasta dish was pretty solid. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Came with 2 pieces of shrimp, 3 clams, Salmon pieces and little scallops. The seafood went very well with the pasta and sauce. No complaints here. It was also the recommended choice by our server. Very good taste. Other than the unfriendly guy host that seated us, it was a pretty good experience. Food was good and the rest of the staff were amazingly nice. Will definitely consider this place an option more when craving pasta by Southcenter mall instead of going to Cheesecake Factory or Olive Garden which are usually overly busy. Also, support your local restaurants!Posted on OpentablePhil16 June 2022Located in a small strip mall adjacent to Westfield's Southcenter Mall in suburban Tukwila (Seattle), Grazie Restaurante is rated number 1 among 111 restaurants here by Trip Advisor. The menu is extensive and our food tasty and well presented. Servers were attentive. The interior is welcoming, but there are a limited number of tables. This, and Grazie's reputation, should require early reservations.Posted on Google
Josh Marin29 May 2022Food is great, service is even better.

Bill Gordon10 May 2022Great restaurant! Menu contains a wide variety of selections, much more authentically Italian than other franchise Italian restaurants. Meals are delicious. Portions are geneeous. Hospitality and wait service is excellent. Atmosphere is, again, authentically Italian. Location is not the most visible, but easy to get to on Southcenter Pkwy. Highly recommend!Posted on YelpKatherine O.17 April 2022One of my favorite spots! Delicious, flavorful meals! We've been going here for years (and also went to the Southcenter location for years).

Ryan Muse10 February 2022Been going to Grazie Tukwila for 10+ years. Great food and great service. Wonderful people! We love our time there.Posted on OpentableConnosieur9 December 2021By far the best restaurant in the Southcenter area: good food, a friendly ambience, and reasonably priced. It's located in a charmless strip mall but don't let that discourage you. The interior is nice and you will enjoy the Italian cuisine and the family-owned atmosphere. It is pretty loud though when the place is full. I was also concerned that they didn't ask my party for proof of covid vaccination but when asked about it they apologized and said it was an oversight.Posted on Yelp
Chandra P.20 October 2021This was first time dining in at Grazie Ristorante as it's conveniently located in Southcenter near Sea-Tac. It's one of the only non-chain restaurants, that offers dishes prepared with fresh, and local ingredients (that truly makes a difference in the taste!!) The menu at this location is different from that of the Bothell location. I was actually so impressed by the options I sent the menu to my husband and purchased him a to go meal. My Pumpkin Ravioli was DELICIOUS, the pumpkin was cooked perfectly not mushy!! My coworkers enjoyed the appetizers, entrees, and wine. Service was really good our servers made sure our glasses were filled, and dishes were brought out in adequate timing. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good, perfect for small groups. Overall it was a great evening at Grazie; I highly recommend this location!Posted on Yelp
Leinani S.25 August 2021If you're looking for great Italian food in Tukwila this place is legit! There's a wide variety ranging from standards like lasagna to house specialties like the amazing filetto gorgonzola, sauces are on point, service is quick and personable and prices are fair value for what you get. Portion sizes are generous, but do save room for one of their scrumptious desserts, they are fabulous! It's been a long time (2 years) since I've had a tiramisu so moist and flavorful - and that was in Italy! Like I said, this place is legit, so if you're craving Italian do your tastebuds a favor - they'll be saying Grazie!Posted on Yelp
Dawn H.29 June 2021Grazie has some of the best Italian food around, with very generous portions. I used to eat at Grazie in Tukwila 20 years ago, but somehow just got reintroduced. It is still amazing food. The four of us each ordered a different dish and shared, so we could taste them all. Every dish was amazing. Especially the Pollo Limone (lemon chicken with artichokes and capers) and the Gorgonzola Tortellini. I highly recommend Grazie, but know that during this heatwave, they have very little cooling. It was very warm inside, but because this heat is so unusual, I didn't feel it would be fair to downgrade this review for that. Server was pleasant and attentive, as were the assistants. We were too full for dessert, but they have the widest selection of desserts, more than most Italian restaurants. We took home plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal out.Posted on TripadvisorPam D16 April 2021Verified
Very good Service wasn't anything special, but the food was excellent. My hotel, the DoubleTree Southcenter recommended it and shuttled me over and back.Posted on Yelp
Misha W.5 January 2021This place is good authentic Italian hidden in a little shopping place by Southern Mall in Tukwila WA. It located right next to Radio Shack and if not looking for it, you wouldn't even notice it's there. During this pandemic I have ordered from there a couple of times when with friends. And my meal seems to get better and better lol Large portions too, so the price point fits it.Posted on Tripadvisor
Poppenlander14 August 2019Book and Cover My wife and I have previously visited the Grazie location in Bothell and enjoyed it, but this was our first visit to the Tukwila site. It's situated in a strip mall near Southcenter, and looking at it from the outside does not inspire confidence. However the interior features low lighting and wood finishes; the ownership has done everything in their power to maximize the limited interior space and make this feel like a high-quality Italian restaurant experience. The service was efficient and prompt. But what matters most is the food, and the kitchen here is quite good. On the recommendation of friends I ordered a side of the house salad (excellent) and pollo limone as an entree (well cooked and seasoned). My wife enjoyed her capellini gamberetti. Overall, a solid Italian meal for a night out with friends. Don't let the cover fool you; the book is worth it.Posted on Yelp
Chad J.22 July 2019This is the very best Italian in Tukwila. We go here often and it is very consistently great! Food and service is A+! They have a huge wine list and can help with your selection. I recommend reservations for 3 or more people. They are usually busy and have a smaller restaurant.Posted on Tripadvisor
KweqSmanit4 May 2019A very good night here This was a very good night out and also it was my first time here. The establishment is in a strip mall area in the shopping district of Tukwila and from the outside does not appear to be much of anything but inside you are warmly greeted and great taste awaits. The service is warm and friendly and as well our server was knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list and knew the specials and soups of the day.Bread was brought out quickly. The menu is not that large but there is just enough to choose from.I would have liked to see more vegetarian options and salads though.And manicotti would have been nice to see. The inside is done up with some ceiling decorations like stars and such and the amount of decorating and color is just right without becoming obtrusive. Our entrees were all very good and of sufficient size.I had the lemon chicken which was not done how I thought it was going to be based off of what I had read but still plentiful flavorful. Desserts are instead of an actual menu where you choose from they bring you a large tray with all their choices for the night on the tray available for you to see and choose from right at your table. The restroom was cleaned and had obviously been serviced.Parking is plentiful and the ambiance atmosphere is fine but the music they play on the dining room speakers does not AT ALL match the kind of place you are eating at and should be changed.Really ? Celine Dion ?Posted on Tripadvisor
Don P2 February 2019Had a number of excellent dinners here over the years Highly recommend this place for quality Italian food. Always have had great service and food. Not very large, so it would be a problem for impromptu large groups. Easy to find just south of South Center shopping area. Cramped parking lot.Posted on Tripadvisor
gailo34411 October 2018Good, But Pricey Food is very good, but everything is ala carte. Main dishes are reasonable, but add a salad, dessert, etc then it adds up. Restaurant on smaller side, but well-known in Tukwila. In a strip mall so lots of parking.. Dim atmosphere, more intimate restaurant so better for couples, or families with older kids.Posted on Tripadvisor
Flyacoop5 October 2018Delicious! Our hotel van driver recommended Grazie - we should have tipped him more! Grazie is located in Southcenter with a cozy atmosphere. All menu items are freshly prepared and very tasty with subtle flavors that don't overwhelm the palate. The service is excellent as well.Posted on Tripadvisor
NJ-Pathfinder17 September 2018Very good, homemade Italian in a strip mall near SeaTac/Southcenter Mall Food was very good, homemade and reasonably priced. Great find in a strip mall near SeaTac and Southcenter Mall area. Much better than the chain restaurants in the area. Small, local and busy....for the busy part...I can see why.Posted on Tripadvisor
IkeFox15 September 2018Phenomenal home-cooked Italian food, romantic atmosphere The location and appearance of this place disguises what a gem it is! From the outside it is very unassuming, kind of hole-in-the-wall. Inside there is a very lovely ambiance, fast service, delicious food. The rose ravioli was spectacular; I could tell the ravioli was homemade and the sauce was a bit salty but still delicious. Make sure they bring you complimentary bread with olive oil dipping sauce--absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend. This was the best food I found after a week staying at Southcenter.Posted on Tripadvisor
sheriff8818 July 2018A Little Italian Gem in a Strip Mall in Tukwila. Authentic Italian cuisine (at least to my eyes and taste buds). Great family atmosphere, excellent food, tiny room with lots of tables. The staff works hard to keep everyone happy and well-fed. Every dish looked and smelled good. The ones we actually ate were just as good. Try it, you'll like it!Posted on Tripadvisor
Ken G3 March 2018Excellent Neighborhood Italian Grazie is one of the few non-chain restaurants in the Tukwila area and I am a frequent diner here with local colleagues when I am in town for business. It is comfortable, the employees are friendly, and everything on the menu is fresh and savory. I especially enjoy the mixed seafood grill which has a lot of local flavor but is not an overly heavy dinner meal. The selection of Italian wines by the glass and bottle is excellent with most glasses around $9.00 which is a great price for quality imports. If you’re in the area and don’t want to eat at a chain, Grazie is your place. I’ll be back many times. Glad that family-owned restaurant like this can still thrive with wonderful recipes and service.Posted on Tripadvisor
Herointheend27 January 2018Really Great Italian Food Set improbably in a strip mall in Tukwila, this was a great place to eat. Tremendous food, and friendly and attentive service to boot. Would highly recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor
F1434LVsharonh18 December 2017Best ever Italian restaurant We looked up Yelp to get ideas for dinner while staying over in Renton, WA. Grazie was easy to locate on Southcenter Parkway. This was one of our top three Italian meals anywhere...including Italy! Both entrees excellent. We have highly recommended Grazie to our other WA friends and hope to visit it again.Posted on Tripadvisor
Ben There12 August 2017They do not have Happy Hour We were excited to visit this restaurant and rave their venue by sampling there happy hour menu. It's early Thursday night and they have one or two tables. We like to eat early, light, and the happy hour usually allow us to sample menu and drinks at low risk value. A very nice hostess informed us that they do not have HH, their choice, like the Grazie in Bathell does. It is our first time so we are strangers in a strange land. Certainly nice hostess did not overcome our shopping desire and we left. Many places have HH menus in Southcenter area. Our search continued.Posted on Tripadvisor
RicardoNYC12 July 2017Glad we went Great service, excellent food 👍 Not sure why this place is in a strip mall. Should be opulently displayed on its own. One of Tukwila's pleasant surprises.Posted on Tripadvisor
Lori M19 March 2017Nice local Italian restaurant with great service - food was average We had dinner at Grazie this past week. It was our second time at the restaurant. The service was excellent -prompt and the waitress was very helpful with wine selections and offered samples before we selected a bottle. The food was average. The Caesar salad was so strong and spicy that we couldn't eat it. The main entrees were good, not great. We did enjoy the atmosphere and it's probably the best place to eat in the Southcenter area. We will definitely try it again when in the area.Posted on Tripadvisor
Seattle Meadowlark12 February 2017Who would have thought you'd find this gem amidst Fast Food Land? Finding Grazie's in the middle of South Center Mallurbia was like finding an oasis in the desert. Every other restaurant in the area was a fast food one, and we do not waste time and money on industrialized food and do I want fries with that. Grazie's is tucked into one of many strip malls surrounding the gigantic mall. Keep a very good eye peeled for the sign or you'll miss it. But DON'T. The food was incredible. We got there at 5 PM on a rainy Tuesday evening, not really expecting the hordes of folks already in the restaurant. It was already full! But no problem, we were promptly seated and our orders taken just as promptly. The entire time we were there, people just kept coming in, coming in, coming and none leaving. Where in the world did they put everyone? I have no idea but they did. I heard one couple mention how 'slammed' the staff was, especially on a Tuesday? Nevertheless, we got our dinners very soon, especially considering how busy they were. I ordered the Picatta de Mar. It was VERY good. Big prawns swam alongside mussels, some small scallops and a portion of fish in a spicy tomato sauce. The sauce was just a tiny bit too spicy for me, but I didn't want the alternative, a cheese sauce (I'm lactose intolerant). It was still, very, very good. As it was cold and miserable outside, as only a midwinter PNW evening can be, the spicy might even have been responsible for my being able to brave the elements on our way out. My husband, who seldom helps me out with TA reports, was very happy with his Capellini gamberetti. All I can say about that-as he refused to share-was that it had mushrooms in it. He was very selfish, growling at me from behind his plate when I attempted to abduct one of his shrooms. (not really). Actually, I didn't try..my plate had more than enough to keep me happy. No reservations were taken on that day but I was told that Fridays and weekends they are almost a necessity. Portions were ample. The bathrooms were clean and neat. Service was impeccable, with a professional, knowledgeable (and Italian accented) young man serving us as quickly as he could. Parking..as it's in a crowded strip mall, can be a bit of a walk, but it is definitely worth the walk.Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
