Grande Bella Cucina

Food was amazing. I sat outside with my girlfriend on a perfect night and it was supplemented by a perfect meal. Again, the food was great but the service was a little slow. We're definitely going back and would recommend GBC to anyone! more

My husband and I were in town and I wanted to take him and my mom somewhere special for dinner since we were celebrating his birthday and seeing mom. Through the internet, I found Grande's. We were seated and waited several minutes before our server Chris (195) to arrived. Mom ordered Veal Saltimbocca and Pinot Charles KR wine, my husband had the Lasagna and I had the vegetable Lasagna. Knowing food is specially prepared, we didn't mind the wait but our salads didn't arrive. So we asked another server that walked by if she could find Chris and ask him about our salads. Dinner arrived and still no salads. So we asked Chris why we didn't get them and he said you "only get salads with the early bird meals." Knowing this was not correct, we asked the hostess to please let him know. He came back to the table and asked if we still wanted the salads with our meal and we said yes. By that time we were all a bit annoyed. Honestly, if not for the horrible service, I would've raved about this place. The food was excellent. The final insult to injury was I was only able to eat half my lasagna; Chris asked if I wanted it wrapped. I did, so he took it. We waited forever to get asked if we wanted dessert, which we did. We ordered the Torta di Chocolate with a candle for my husband's birthday. Then again, we waited forever for the dessert we shared. Again, it was delicious. We then waited forever for the check. We left and 1/2 way home, I realized Chris never brought back my left-over lasagna. Obviously, this server was new and not able to deliver the type of service (yet) that you would expect from an upscale restaurant such as Grande's. As a result I would not recommend Grande's. With the economy being the way it is, if I'm going to spend that much money on a meal, the service needs meet that standard as well. more

I wouldn't say I disliked it but I've had better food and my waiter was a douchebag. He explained that there were more expensive specials but he wasn't going to read those. Seriously? I asken him if I looked like a homeless guy and then he read me the specials of which I didn't order on principal after asking 19 questions. Nice work genius! more

Absolutely fantastic great food very fresh homemade pasta nice selection of wines and entrees and old time specialties like Pasta con Sarde,escarole and beans and my favorite pasta with white clam sauce using the whole clam. Molto Bene. more

For the second time in less than a year, my friend and I had a Very bad experience. We made a reservation and ordered two lobster dinners. After being seated, drink orders were taken. The waiter, who was surly, took our order. After about a half hour, we asked for bread. He stated that they had run out of bread. We asked about our meals and the manager came over(an hour had gone by) and she told us they ran out of lobster but she was sending someone out to buy more but they had larger ones for more money. After two hours, we left without paying the drink bill.\r VERY bad experience similar to our first one. more

my wife and i have been to grande's many times ! their lasagna is homemade and the gnocchi vodka is the best i ever had. last week we had the tiramisu & ricotta strawberry cheesecake and they both get a thumbs up! \r their pizza is also the best in town!! thanks !! more

Food was great! Service, not so much. Live in Abacoa, still felt out of place. more

There are two reasons I go to Grande's. \r First, their sunset menu is the most enjoyable & reasonable menu anywhere..they give you a salad, entree, bruscetta, & even wine for 18.95! The staff is very nice & the owners are always there. \r Second, they have a great breakfast buffet on Sundays for $9.95! My husband & I love it. They are always so busy. Sometimes, too busy. 34 years of living in Florida and I have never had anything this good. more

My wife and I drove from West Palm for the Sunday Brunch @ $9.99. We were seated and agreed to have the brunch. We went up to the serving table to find that most everything was empty and just getting refilled this was about 11:30 AM. The fruit was never filled all the while we were there. The breads were all COSTCO stuff. The waffles were dry. The coffee which we refilled ourselves was week. This was worse than the Days Inn free breackfat buffet. Also the service whatever service you get at a buffet was bad. We had to ask twice just for water. I will tell all my friends don't go there!!!!! more
