Our Story
Gratzzi Italian Grille was started in the early 2000’s with a mission to be the best Italian restaurant in downtown Saint Pete. Owners Domenic D’Angelo and Tony Mangiafico met in 1992 in Punta Gorda, Florida at a restaurant called Mamma Nunzia. Tony was working in the kitchen and Domenic was managing the restaurant. This started not only their friendship but their partnership in business. Tony worked his way through every position in the restaurant while Domenic guided him. In 2006, Domenic began to work at Gratzzi Ristorante. Tony was then presented the opportunity to move to Saint Pete and be the executive chef at Gratzzi Ristorante, located in the Baywalk shopping plaza (now Sundial). In 2008, Gratzzi Ristorante closed and reopened in 2009 as Gratzzi Italian Grille on 2nd St S. Now partners, Domenic and Tony have been successfully running Gratzzi Italian Grille together for nearly two decades. Gratzzi Italian Grille is built around family, friendships, and a shared Italian heritage
Signature Dishes
Testimonials
The Cavatelli Bada Bing is hands down the Italian version of mac and cheese, but way more indulgent. Fresh ricotta cavatelli flambéed in a parmesan wheel with prosciutto and vodka sauce? Unreal. Creamy, rich, and full of flavor. Total comfort food with a dramatic twist.
Great service and super knowledgeable staff made the experience even better. Don’t skip this dish!

We came here to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary, seated outdoors. Our server was amazing. She gave first class service with a smile and a little anniversary cake at the end. Our dinners were beyond expectations. Would highly recommend.
