    Nice local spot with quality ingredients and good service. Was shocked that the bar area was so crowded with nowhere to stand while waiting for the table to be ready like 20 minutes after our reservation. Was asked no less than 10 times to move over by staff while walking by. Much improved since last visit, enjoyed the osso buco.

    La Griglia is a true gem in Kenilworth. I grew up in Union, NJ, the adjoining town, over the years there have been restaurants that have come and gone. La Griglia is a real keeper!!! Extensive menu, great portions, etc.

    If you are looking for excellent food and service, La Griglia is definitely the restaurant to consider. I use the word consistency to describe each and every dinner we have experienced. From their signature broiled crab cakes (which are the best around) savory endive salad, burrata and heirloom tomatoes appetizers to amazing Dover sole, beautifully prepared Bronzino, and great beef, pork and chicken options, all the entrees are wonderful. If wine pairing is your thing, their list is considerable and has something for every palate. Great service is La Griglia’s priority. From water and wine glasses tended to, to the crumbing and bussing of tables, the staff shines and works in tandem. We love it here and know you will never go wrong choosing La Griglia as your dining destination.
