My friend swore up and down that this was one of the best Italian Restaurants in Ann Arbor. I wouldn't know if this were true or not, since this is the only Italian restaurant I've been to in the state of Michigan. We arrived with a reservation and party of 4 for lunch on a Friday. The reservation wasn't necessary, as we were the only party there. Overall, great service and food! Restaurant is quite large, with numerous seating options. This place would work well for both a casual fancy dining experience.
The complimentary bread was fresh and delicious. We even went through 2 baskets of the bread. So bad, but so good at the same time. We started with 2 orders of Shrimp Scampi and Di Pere to share. The Shrimp Scampi was full of savory flavors. I had the Caprino/Ravioli as my main. Not a large serving, but the rich flavor makes ordering this dish well worth it.
Street meter parking available and in the large parking lot behind the restaurant. Make sure you pay at the pay station.
In general I noticed the food lacked flavor and we had to constantly add salt to it, but it was good (not excellent). For the quality I got I think it is a bit pricey, but it they fixed the flavor issue then the price would make sense.
Regarding the dishes.... The calamari and short rib were fantastic and are highly recommended
My wife and I have gone to Gratzi a number of times. The food has always been very good with a very nice presentation. However it is a very expensive restaurant for the amount and quality of food to get. The wait staff has always been very knowledgeable and they are sometimes friendly.
Went in on a Saturday for lunch, not crowded at all. Service was a bit slow for how empty the place was, but the phenomenal food made up for it. We had a grilled chicken Cesar and the eggplant parmesan. The salad was very good but the eggplant was to die for. It was thin, crispy, and covered in their delicious homemade sauce. I would highly recommend!
Super nice staff and great food. Enjoyed every moment of the dinner. Great place to stop if in the mood for Italian food in the area!
We came here with my gf’s birthday promotion. Food was good, attention was correct, and prices with the promotion were unbeatable. Will probably return.

cannot say enough about our excellent evening spent here. my husband and I wanted a romantic dinner somewhere we had never been and decided on this place. our server, Peter, made sure we were always satisfied. you can tell that he cares so much about his job and your dining experience. we enjoyed the mushroom pizza - not pictured, because we ate it so quickly, as an appetizer. I decided on the filet and my husband got the eggplant parmesan, while we split a side of Brussels sprouts. the portabello mushroom with tomato and goat cheese that accompanied my filet almost brought tears to my eyes- they complimented each other so well. my filet was cooked to perfection. my husband thoroughly enjoyed his eggplant parmesan and only wished there was a little more sauce to accompany the pasta and that the Brussels sprouts be done slightly longer. to end our meal we ordered the tiramisu, which came on a decorated plate with "congratulations" written on it, celebrating our baby's upcoming arrival. the manager Sarah came over more than once to check on us and cared a lot about how we were treated throughout the evening. on another special occasion, we will definitely be back!!! thank you to the staff at Gratzi got such a wonderful evening!
The reason I give this restaurant a 4 star is because of the long wait just to get the food. Otherwise the experience was wonderful. The food was delicious and the nice lady who took our order was very cheerful.
