Griglia Open Fire Italian Kitchen - Craig Road

Came here for a lovely dinner. Service was good. We ordered 3 dishes and they were truly enough for us. Firstly it was the bone marrow, then the pappardelle that came with pork and from the open fire, we had the bone in Angus Striploin. All the dishes were good. We also had a side of kale. A fun night overall.

Nice chill spot for a date night. We went for the signature set for two and enjoyed every course. Steak was well seasoned and cooked perfectly medium, as requested. In fact it didn’t even require the complementary trio of sauces it was served with. Service was good and our server came back periodically to check on us and ask if the food was to our liking. Dessert which came with the set wasn’t overly sweet (which is great!) either.

Griglia Open Fire Italian Kitchen A very solid dining experience from start to finish. The quality of the meat is clearly the highlight — well-sourced, expertly handled, and cooked with precision over open fire, adding depth without masking the natural flavours. The porterhouse (grass-fed) in particular stands out for its clean taste and proper execution. Starters are well thought through: the olives are simple but high quality, while the mortadella mousse is a refined and well-balanced interpretation, rich without being heavy. The menu overall shows a clear Italian direction, staying focused and avoiding unnecessary complexity. Service is attentive and well-paced. Staff demonstrate good product knowledge, and the timing between courses is managed with consistency. Desserts are strong and worth the space. The Capri cake is well executed, and the cappuccino tiramisu offers a more contemporary twist while keeping the profile recognisable. The atmosphere strikes a good balance — stylish without being overdone, with a warm, relaxed energy that suits both casual dinners and more intentional occasions. Pricing is on the higher side, but justified by the consistency across food, service, and setting. A place worth returning to, especially for those who appreciate fire-based cooking done with control and respect for the product.

This is really a good steakhouse/grill house that is probably a bit under the radar from the more famous/well marketed restaurants. Once I entered the restaurant, it lifted my expectations more and I felt the nice and warm vibe from the staff and the crowd. It’s full, a little busy but not rowdy. The ambience and lighting was just right. We had a table beside the open kitchen and it was an eye opening to see how the food is prepared and immerse ourselves to the smell of the good food. Ventilation is perfect as we don’t smell like a restaurant after we are done. Food wise, we went for a starter (scallops), a ravioli and a wagyu steak for sharing. We also asked for the bread later when we saw almost every table had one. Words can’t describe the deliciousness of the dishes and everything was done perfectly well. The wagyu steak was really juicy, tender and melt in the mouth, cooked to medium rare in perfection. The ravioli was so good that I wished it was more than 6 pcs. And who doesn’t love scallops? I would recommend to go for the porterhouse if you have more than 3 person. It looks so good and tempting but we are only 2. Lastly, a nice gesture from the restaurant to provide us a simple anniversary dessert and a framed photo of us done on the spot. 100 points for service.

Had a wonderful birthday at Griglia. All the food was great. The Focaccia with the rosemary olive oil was very aromatic. We then had the Bone Marrow, Ravioli with stuffed with short ribs and truffle and Hokkaido Scallop. All are very good and have interesting taste. For the Mains, we started with the Half Spanish Turbot. It's tender and quite fatty which gives a melt in the mouth feeling. Next we had the Suckling Pig Porchetta which was very enjoyable. Then we had the 200 day grain fed Potterhouse, one of the best steak for me. We ended with the Cappuccinomissu, which tasted fantastic. Special shout out for Roland for a very attentive service which made the whole experience so amazing. His attention to details of our need is very rare to find.
