The Italian Grille

I used them for a catered event and they done a great job. They delivered the food to the venue on time, food was hot and great. They were very helpful from start to finish and very easy to work with.

Everyone raves about The Casa Grill, this place, way better. Definitely a revisit. Great service and great food.

Visited this place last Saturday. Place was busy, but was able to get seated right away in the bar area. Very noisy, tables and booths uncomfortably close to other diners, and the lights were way too bright. What compounded the bright lights were the fact that this place is located in a strip mall and there are large glass front windows which made the situation even worse. I ordered the sausage sandwich which is basically a sausage patty shaped liked a hamburger with grilled peppers. My wife had the Italian panini on a pretzel bun. The sausage sandwich was good, but the patty was a bit under-​cooked. My wife’s panini was way too small to be called a main course — it was almost like an appetizer. The steak fries that came with one of the sandwiches were cooked perfectly, but lacked flavor.
The bill with one soda and a water was over $ 20 dollars which is way high for what we got. The main reason we ordered the sandwiches was that the pasta dishes were very high priced and based on watching other tables were on the smallish side and didn’t look that great. We had been here once before and ordered the pizza and as I recall it was very similar in the sense that it was just OK and too expensive. Overall I cannot recommend this place because of the lack of atmosphere, the high prices, and the just OK food. Too many places just a short drive to Fort Wayne that do a much better job.

The Italian Grille is a great place to go locally with friends or family to eat Italian food. On my recent visit, I was with a group of seven people. We went around 5 on a Saturday night, so the place was busy, but not packed. Our waitress was very attentive to us the entire meal. We appreciated the fresh loaves of bread and olive oil blend as a free appetizer. Warm and delicious. Two out of our group ordered the small Italian pie (great size for one person each). The others all had pasta dishes (lasagna, Shrimp Gambero, etc.) that were accompanied with soup or salad. I recommend the Italian Grille house salad. It is a fresh mixture of greens, diced tomatoes, black olives, and bleu cheese with your choice of dressing. The restaurant has warm and inviting atmosphere. The two reasons I give this restaurant 4 inside of 5 stars: prices and the way our food was delivered. The pasta dishes cost significantly more than the pizzas and sandwiches. I think one person’s bill for a pasta dish and soda pop drink was twice that of someone who purchased a small pizza with water. And our food was brought to the table individually over 5 — 10 minutes. And no one wanted to eat until everyone’s food was on the table. But overall, still a good local restaurant.

Service is very slow and food is overpriced for what you get. Quality is above average and food tastes good.

Work uses The Italian Grill on occasion for lunches provided during meetings so I’ve only had a couple of their sandwiches. The chicken cordon bleu is awesome, as are the chips that come with. I’d recommend trying them and hope I actually get to go to their location instead of only ever having it as carry out.

Prices are that of an upscale restaurant. Atmosphere is a strip mall.
Service is ridiculously slow.
Food is a touch above room temperature at best.
Quality of food was poor.
You need not give your honest opinion to the owner when she asks as she will lash out in a very unprofessional manner with a deal with it attitude.

This a a very nice place to either eat with family/​friends or grab some adult beverages. They offer a great gluten free menu and have great service. The service is great and the food is wonderful.

This is a great alternative to highway-​area food. I travel through Auburn all the time and for once I was not driving, so I got on the iPhone and figured out a place to go where my kids could eat real food. I found the Italian Grille.
It will take a few extra minutes to get there in comparison to the highway-​centric restaurants, but it’s worth it. It was Sunday lunch and the place was mostly empty. It was relaxing. I enjoyed the plentiful windows.
It’s been over a month, so I don’t specifically remember being floored by the food. But, then again, I would remember if it was bad. Food alone would be bordering 3 – 4 stars. Because it was very kid-​friendly (1 and 3 year olds) it gets the four.
Our bill was $ 25 pre-​tip and that was for two adult lunches, two sodas and one kid’s meal.

Not impressed. I think the restaurant is trying to pull off Italian food unsuccessfuly at too high of a price. Our table was sticky when we sat down. And there was a weird humming noise while we ate.
I think I’ll pass.

An italian place, not authentic, but sometimes nice change of pace. The salads are decent, the wings aren’t bad either. The pasta sauce marinara and meat sauce are REALLY SWEET, as in sugar is one of the main ingredient, im not a fan at all. Staff is nice

Great food, great service. The pizza and panini’s are delicious.

The food is good with a pleasant wait staff and nice atmosphere. I usually opt to sit in the bar area as there is usually some type of game (sports) on the TV.

Hahaha. 2 ½ stars. If you want boxed Italian food here’s your place.

Went here last night around 6:15. It was fairly busy, but we were greeted promptly. We received a warm loaf of bread and a dish with some herbs in it. We were to pour the cheese and oil from the table in the dish for our bread — a nice touch. It would have been nice to have some butter as well, though. My husband ordered some sort of entrée salad, and it was nice sized and good. I ordered the minestrone soup and spaghetti with meat sauce. The minestrone was ok — nothing spectacular. The spaghetti was also good. It was different than any I have had before. The sauce was good, but it had a different flavor to it — perhaps more a concentration of spices that was different than other Italian restaurants. We were served promptly, but not extremely friendly — more effeciant than friendly. I like a combination of both, I suppose. We will go back to try some different offerings. What I liked is that the bar area is situated so that kids can sit in there. My 16 year old son will love it that we can sit in the bar area and watch the TVs. I guess we are strange — we like restaurants where we can watch TV and eat (just like home!).
