Grazianos Restorante

If you are craving the kind of authentic Italian meal that feels like Sunday dinner at your grandmother’s house, but you want to enjoy it with a perfectly poured martini, Graziano’s Ristorante in Chesilhurst is your destination. Located on the White Horse Pike, this family-owned gem has been a cornerstone of the community for decades, offering a warm, inviting atmosphere that is equal parts fine dining and neighborhood comfort.

The history of Graziano’s is steeped in tradition. It has long been the “special occasion” spot for locals, known for its consistency and hospitality. Walking in, you are greeted by a classic, slightly retro ambiance.  Think white tablecloths, warm lighting, and a staff that has likely been there for years. It is unpretentious but clearly takes pride in its heritage.

Features & Highlights

The food here is the star, with a menu that focuses on Italian-American classics done right. Regulars rave about the Veal Parmigiana, which is tender and served in a massive portion, and the Homemade Gnocchi. The kitchen is known for its generosity; you will not leave hungry.

For the bar enthusiast, Graziano’s offers a surprisingly robust experience. The bar area is separate from the main dining room, providing a cozy, “old-school lounge” vibe perfect for a quiet drink. They excel at the classics: their Martinis are cold, crisp, and generous, and the wine list is a thoughtful selection of Italian reds and whites that pair perfectly with the heavy, savory dishes. It is not a place for trendy mixology or craft beer flights; it is a place for a stiff drink, a glass of Chianti, and a meal that sticks to your ribs.
