Ronnie Grisanti & Sons Rstrnt   

My wife and I ate here on our first wedding anniversary. Nice atmosphere, food and wine.

This Italian family chef inspired eatery is well storied in the Memphis area. For those who have heard the Grisanti name know it is synonymous with several Italian restaurants throughout the area. This particular location has never disappointed. A more relaxed dining environment yet refined with many variations of chef inspired Italian family recipes. Although entrees are pricey when compared with most chain restaurants it's important to remember this is a unique one of a kind dining experience with on-site chef inspired creations. The food is very good, well prepared and service has always been professional in my opinion.

The specials are to die for. I especially like the stuffed tenderloin, sea bass and the veal chop. I am not sure if these are on the menu because I always order from the specials. Great wine list. You will probally have a wait, but you are welcome to eat at the bar.

I really don't see how people can criticize the food. It is very good. I just don't see how Ronnie can get away with those prices. Let's face it, when it comes down to it, it is a pasta joint with fine quality ingredients and very good service. However, we pay for the service with our tips, not him. He should charge more than Pete and Sams, but for heavens sake, should he charge as much for a plate of pasta as Oak Hall charges for a nice wool pair of pants? Once you eat the pasta, it is gone. At least you can wear the pants again some day. I am glad he is proud of his food and his family history, but should Memphis diners have to pay for the name? It really is not the nicest location in town. Get fair on the pricing and we will go there more than once a year. Otherwise, it is a special occasion option for our family and we will likely choose a more convenient and less expensive option.
