The ultimate authentic Italian restaurant experience

Granita Grille Is Westwood’s Favorite Italian Restaurant

For the past 22 years, Granita Grille has been a Westwood, NJ, mainstay, serving up savory homemade Italian food to our community.  When you walk through our doors, our goal is to give you a genuine Italian experience, from our 100% handmade dishes to our famous hospitality. Because of this, Granita Grille has been a local favorite since our doors opened. Come see why we continue to be the go-to destination for family dinner night, date night, special events, and more! 

Homemade Italian food…from scratch!

Each and every one of our savory, soulful meals is made completely from scratch, whether it’s our famous pasta; our veal, chicken, and seafood dishes; or our freshly baked desserts. At Granita Grille, we are also focused on making our dining experience inclusive for all guests, which is why we are proud to offer quality gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan meals upon request.

 

Another thing that really sets us apart is that we are a complete BYOB establishment, which means you are free to bring in your favorite bottle of wine with no corking fee. It’s the perfect option for a big family dinner or date night. And speaking of date night: Every Friday and Saturday night, we host live music—and yes, our house musician does take requests! 

It’s in the sauce

One reason why our guests keep on coming back even 20 years later is our famous secret dipping sauce—just ask for the orange one in the big bowl! While we can’t tell you exactly what’s in it, we can say that it’s chock full of olive oil goodness. And, due to popular demand, it is now for sale at the restaurant. Order up a big bowl of your own and you, too, will be walking out with a jar to share with your loved ones at home.
