Our Story

Vibrant, delicious, and cultured, Grazie brings an authentic slice of Italy and an unmatched dining experience to the heart of Lower Hutt.

The Grazie story is one which begins with la famiglia (family). Grazie is the creation of Sarin Hotels, a family-owned-and-operated leader in the hotel, restaurant and tourism industry, with a distinct love for the italiano cuisine. With the help of our wider family of talented chefs, passionate culinary team and front-of-house staff, Grazie was brought to life in a whirlwind of flavour in 2022.

Combining a modern ambience with the classic joys of fresh italiano cuisine, the visionary team behind Grazie reimagines a contemporary yet timeless eatery – a place where anyone can fall in love with artisanal Italian cuisine and so much more in the heart of Lower Hutt.

From our la famiglia to yours, we extend a warm grazie (thank you) for joining us on our culinary journey, and ci vediamo presto – see you soon!
