Grazia Restaurant

Glen Iris tastemakers constantly drop this name for a reason. Don't let the understated entrance fool you—step past the doors and Grazia opens into a sweeping, stylishly buzzing dining room. It oozes pure sprezzatura. Downstairs tables catch the kinetic rhythm of the kitchen and bar, framing a flawless backdrop for long lunches and celebratory dinners. The culinary focus? Refined, deeply satisfying Italian fare. Think blistered black truffle pizza carrying a rich, earthy aroma. Eye fillet steak anchored by a decadent potato thyme pavé. Generous antipasti spreads loaded with creamy burrata and tender calamari fritti. Weekend crowds pack the house for the stellar three-course set menus, so booking ahead is absolutely mandatory. Service remains remarkably warm and razor-sharp, rounding out an effortlessly chic dining experience.
