    I have to admit, this was a dining experience I didn’t see coming! My blue cheese olive (all home made with blue cheese imported from Greenland) ice cold martini was one of the best I’ve ever had. The fillet mignon, that I saw on their online menu was listed and the server and chef said they had two left and prepared one for me. The best I’ve ever had and I’m not just saying that. Before my main, I had wanted the wedge (again listed on the online menu but not available), but had the Butter Lettuce salad. It was delicious. Desert was a chocolate molten cake…. Again amazing! Our server was named Kelly and he was very good at guiding us through the suggestion and recommendations. I will be back for sure!

    I cannot say enough good things about this place. The food is excellent. The drinks are even better. The staff is kind. The management is wonderful. But the thing that takes the cake is the location. We watched two container ships pass while we were eating dinner, and it was the coolest experience for our group and everyone else up there. A piece of advice: sit outside. It is completely worth the wait or hassle of a reservation.

    We booked a table for three in advance of the holiday weekend. It was our first visit to Grafitto and I chose it for the vegetarian options. We started with the provoletto appetizer to share. One taste and we knew we were going to enjoy this dinner! We decided to each get a personal pizza which was the biggest personal pizza I have ever been served! We got a funghi, a pesto, and an escarole topped pizza. All were delicious! Service was great. Great time looking out at the river.

    We had the most amazing dinner here. My husband had the pork chop with brussel sprouts and adored the sauce. I had the salmon with the beans and loved how perfectly cooked and flavorful everything was. We also had cocktails that we loved and to top it off the performer was amazing. It was a lovely evening and the next time we are in Savannah we will definitely be back.
