Graffiti's in St Albans

We turned up on the off chance due to a cancelled train - was found a table although it was busy . Great service and excellent fresh cooked food. Fab atmosphere and Nicola's service and assistance was first class. We will return .Thank you for a great evening

Had dinner here after a afternoon out in London. We shared calamari and garlic prawns starters and then my partner had pizza and I had the penne arrabiata. All delicious and perfect service, will definitely be back.

Although I’m not a regular diner here I would be if I was lucky enough to live in Harpenden. The atmosphere, meals and service were spot on and very reasonably priced. A good choice on the menu and our every need was catered for !

First tune at the restaurant on Saturday night Service was very good nothing was too much trouble , and both waitresses were so happy all the time And food was amazing good portions

The food is top quality, presentation and service is fantastic! we used to go regularly before lockdown and we returned last night for the first time as we were celebrating, and we were not disappointed. The family run business (Neil, Charlotte and Nicola) make it very special. Nothing is too much trouble, we got there at 6,45pm and did not leave till 11.45pm!!! other places very keen to move you on but here we can relax, enjoy our food and drink without any pressure. We had taken friends with us and Neil, Charlotte and Nicola made them feel very welcome too! We had such a laugh catching up - lovely evening a BIG Thankyou THANKYOU for all you do Graffiti - looking forward to seeing you very soon Alka and Ben XXX

We come regularly to Graffiti for pizza, pasta, or chicken milanese as they all taste so good. The arancini are also a top item. Service is very nice and welcoming. One of the best places in Harpenden !

We had Lovely meal and service at graffiti . They kindly found us a table last minute and we had a really nice time .. the atmosphere is relaxed and the crayons are a fun way to keep you entertained ( although this got slightly out of control on the maturity level ) service was excellent , kind and efficient , food was also very fresh and tasty . The place is also very clean .. many thanks and we look forward to returning with our children

So good to invite people to dinner and be impressed with the ambience , the food, the wine the waiting staff and they did good 0 alcohol beer! Beautifully prepared favourites presented to the table by an experienced, professional, friendly waiting team. Hadn’t been here for a long time and it is unrecognisable. Recommend to all for a romantic night to a big group out. Bravo Graffitti!. Spotlessly clean too.

The staff were lovely and polite. The food was top notch with lots of options available. I will defiantly be visiting again.

We found this Italian restaurant by chance and we’re glad we did! The food was lovely, service helpful and friendly and I’d recommend giving it a try!

This was the second time we visited Graffiti, returning for the sea bass, service and ambience. Thankfully we were not disappointed. The menu offered every option. Despite this the chef made something not on the menu and catered to all our requests. Most importantly, did not disappoint. Food was good but the service even better. HUGE SHOUT OUT to Nicola, an exceptional waitress, we cannot praise her enough. Without question she is the shinning star of Graffiti. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Are here Friday evening. Fabulous meal and great service. Will definitely be going there again. Have had overcooked pasta at those italian chains but not here. Cooked to perfection.

Excellent food at this family run restaurant. Charlotte is front of house nothing is too much trouble, the service is excellent and they are very welcoming. The food is very well cook by Neil and the portions are very generous. Very good value for such good food.

My favourite restaurant in Harpenden for the family . food is perfect and great friendly service and atmosphere highly recommended for anyone wanting to try out authentic homely Italian food . 10/10

Wet here for a family meal a week or so back. We were warmly greeted and shown to the table. The menus was the same as i had remembered it from every visit in the past - probably a good thing! The calamari was very good, and the breaded mushrooms looked and tasted like they were made in-house, not emptied out of a packet. Pizzas were perfectly acceptable (I'm a bit of a pizza snob having spent >5 years going to Italy every couple of weeks for work), and the four cheeses had a great mix of cheeses on, including a tangy goats cheese. Puddings were definitely a cut above the average fare, and enjoyed by all. In summary, good food, good - friendly - service, and a nice place to spend a couple of hours. It wasn't cheap, but it wasnt expensive. I think it felt expensive as the big pizza chains always have an offer of some description which brings down the bill. However, I'd be back - not least of all to continue drawing on the tablecloths.

We made Graffiti our first visit after lockdown and were not in the slightest disappointed. The staff are so friendly, a real family business, who give every customer a friendly and happy welcome which continues through the whole dining experience. The menu has great variety...

Not normally one to leave reviews but felt compelled to in this case after the terribly disappointing experience I had here.   It was my partner’s 30th birthday last week and unfortunately I was unable to book a table at our usual favourite, Pasta Cibo, as...

Went for a Birthday meal for my friend last night, the Food was excellent, the service was exstreemly good very friendly and helpful, one of our party needed GF options and there was plenty of choice and choices were given and they were happy to...

We came here few days ago and really happy with service, distancing, perfectly cooked pizzas and pastas great all around

Delicious food with plenty of choice. Great drinks choices too. The restaurant has implemented a full set of measures to be safe in view of COVID. Plenty of space between tables to ensure social distancing, hand sanitising on arrival etc. As near as ‘ normal...

Really good Italian food, lovely service and a bright and surprisingly large space. A lovely and unexpected touch was bringing my wife a taster of a dessert that she’d was probably too full to enjoy the full portion size.

Lovely meal and service. The restaurant has gone above and beyond to be safe with the virus. Well spaced out tables, disposable menus and hand sanitising stations around the restaurant. Charlotte was lovely, very friendly and welcoming and the food was lovely. Was all cooked...

very friendly staff.made us feel very welcome.the food was amazing.lovely atmosphere.the best italian food ive had.bonofie was the finishing touch.highly recomend.great value for your money.excelent.from mr panteli

We had an excellent meal at Graffiti. Met the owners, they are awesome. Food was delicious. I would definitely recommend dinner at Graffiti. Food and Service are excellent. I plan to eat there again when I am in Harpenden.

We booked this restaurant on the advice of my sister who lives locally. We were not disappointed. The service was excellent as was the food! The staff were friendly and very helpful. They helped make my 89 year old mums night very enjoyable!

When for an casual dinner having not been for some years, but was sadly disappointed with the food. Menus has a lot of choice but the pasta dishes we chose were very bland and given the level of competition in the area (for all cuisines)...

The staff is very friendly and extremely kind and patient with kids. Food is also very good, we love the spicy broccoli pasta. They prefer if you book in advance but they are normally able to accommodate also last minute requests.

We popped in before an evening at The Halls so were time limited. The waitress made sure our order was prioritised so we could enjoy our food and still be on time for the show. We chose spaghetti carbonara and a pizza between us. Both...

Visited Graffiti on Saturday evening for a birthday meal with my family, wonderful warm service from the staff and was surprised at the end of the meal with a complimentary birthday dessert. Always a lovely experience and would highly recommend. Thank you for helping us...

The menu is far too extensive in my opinion and my pasta dish was average. The pizza was good though as was the service.

This restaurant has been in the same family ownership for nearly 28 years. That tells you it serves a real need in Harpenden. Always fabulous service and good value food.

I can’t rate this place highly enough, I discovered this little gem of a place a couple of years ago while visiting the area for the weekend and always book a table here when ever in the area. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is...

My absolute favourite restaurant in Harpenden. The atmosphere, the service and the food are all exceptional. Charlotte and Neil are just the best hosts who cannot do enough for you. We visit regularly and there is a reason for this. It is all listed above....

Went for a pasta dish similar to lasagne ... By crikey ... this thing must have been nuked in the microwave ... it was literally hotter than the sun I’m still drinking milkshakes to cool Down Won’t be wasting my time or shillings in this...

Service here was excellent, the food was really delicious. The atmosphere was warn and welcoming. I'd definitely recommend.

First time visiting this restaurant and i was impressed with the whole experience. The restaurant has a great ambiance and the food was first class. Service was excellent, didn't have to wait long for drinks and food throughout the evening and i could not fault...

Friendly welcoming staff. Simple clean and crisp decor with clean and tidy toilets. Great to see an open kitchen which was always kept clean and tidy as they went along cooking beautiful food. I’ve grown up with Italian cooking thanks to my father. I can...

Tolles Ambiente, sehr aufmerksamer und freundlicher Service, Preis-Leistung stimmt, Hauptspeisen und Starters sehr lecker. Während man auf das Essen wartet,...

Lovely restaurant! Very friendly and also very helpful as my friend has a gluten allergy and they catered for his every need unlike the bigger chain restaurants. The food was absolutely delicious, I had the salmon which was cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend for...

Found this restaurant by accident after a visit to Spire Hospital this evening. Lovely friendly welcome, fantastic meal, extremely flavoursome served by chef Neil, lovely wine, and a taste of tiramisu to tempt us for next time. We will be back.

Dinner with our daughter while holidaying in the UK. No complaints what so ever. Staff friendly and helpful, food fresh and delicious a real little gem. would definitely return, can see why it is a favorite with our daughter.

We had just returned from holiday yesterday and were, naturally, feeling a bit down so we decided to cheer ourselves up by eating out (and it meant I didn't have to cook). Once again, we had a delicious meal at Graffiti. The talented chef, Neil,...

Enjoyed an impromptu visit to this lovely restaurant last night. Such a welcoming and friendly restaurant and brilliant for children. All the dishes that, our table of 10, ordered were delightful, the anti pasta, muscles and carbonara were particularly good. Would thoroughly recommend this charming...

This is the second time we have been here and the food is home cooked taste with all the fresh ingredients. The kids ice cream were very nicely decorated, they enjoyed their meal very much as well. Tiramisu was outstanding

Was taken to Graffiti for my birthday. Had a lovely meal, very relaxed atmosphere. Great for kids, as there are crayons on every table and they can draw on the paper tablecloths. My fiancé and step-daughter and Grandson were with ne they all enjoyed their...

Tasty food, great service, but no atmosphere during the week as it's eerily quiet for some reason. It does seem to be busier at weekends, but if you just want to grab a quick meal with a decent glass or wine, this is perfect.

I really wanted to love this place, with it being our local Italian, but the pasta was not fresh (which I think is the least expectation from an all Italian menu), and our other guests thought their dishes were microwaved. Sadly it just wasn't the...

Lovely ambience, not too noisy and very comfortable. Second time here and they seem to be under staffed, waiting was a little long for attendance. Food was lovely but bread could have been better if warmed. Thoroughly enjoyed as the service was polite and friendly,...

I went to Graffiti with friends for my birthday celebration and will definitely return to this gem of a place. The food on all accounts was delicious, it's obvious they use great quality fresh ingredients. From the starter to the dessert it was 5/5 (amazing...

We have visited a few times now, Food and service are always excellent. its family run and the food is freshly home cooked Italian. Lovely relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Its nice to be able to spend a couple of hours over your meal sampling the...

In these days of rushing around and fast food, it's always a pleasure to head to Graffiti in Station Road and have a relaxing evening meal eating great food. This family run restaurant is a great place to eat. The Italian food is delicious. The...

We took our parents for a meal and they were very impressed with how well we were looked after and the quality of food. We always have fun when we visit and it is great value for money

Fantastic food. Real home made Italian food cooked with pride. Good Wine list. Brillant service friendly and warm. Great for kids. My favourite local Italian restaurant. Will be back as soon as I can. The Tiramisu is the best on the planet.

I had just come back from a business trip and wanted some good Italian food as had been eating rubbish the last 3 days. I have the mussels and Tom, Mozz & Advocado salad. Good atmosphere and a great couple the run the restaurant. He...

Been here before solo, always friendly and excellent quality food from this family team the run the front of house and the kitchen.....

Lovely menu to choose from. Food was great. Tiramisu was amazing. Enjoyed the atmosphere and service. Will be back

The children always love to come here, they like to draw on the paper table cloths. I also like the extensive menu and always have a good choice of wines.

Delicious food ranging from splendid calamari, tasty pizza's and al dente pasta. To complete the lovely evening we had first class customer service and were made to feel very welcome. The children loved drawing on the tablecloths :-). Thanks

Popped into Graffiti last night for a meal with my girlfriend. I can't remember the name of the pasta I had, however it did contain black olives and anchovies. This meal, with no exaggeration, was possibly my finest experience of the pasta delacusy in all...

Handy location for us as its just down from the station and we're from out of town. Plenty of choice on the menu being i'm of the veggie persuasion. Food was excellent and we'll defiantly be making a return visit to this friendly family run...

Oh dear what a disappointment. We can’t comment on the food because we didn’t actually get to try anything as we were asked to leave as we had ‘dared’ to politely enquire after 30 mins of arrival and 20 mins of waiting to order as...

Another wonderful meal tonight. A huge thank you to Neil and Charlotte. Always a fabulous and delicious freshly cooked meal. Charlotte is such a charming front of house. We will be back again and again and again ..................!!!!!!

A really lovely, family run Italian Restaurant. Lovely pasta, pizza, meat and fish in a relaxed setting. Friendly attentive Staff. Homemade desserts.

Incredible service, wonderful selection on menu and best pizza. Found this little gem on Station Road and it was just what we needed. The crayons on the table were a bonus - encouraging you to sketch while you wait for your food, hence the name...

We spent a wonderful evening at Graffiti Restaurant last night in Harpenden. The food for all four of us was absolutely delicious, service superb a really relaxing, wonderful evening. Highly recommended by all four of us. We will definitely be going back.

Visited on Saturday for the first time with friends who regularly use this restaurant and sing it's praises. It didn't disappoint. Quality fare and good service and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit

lovely atmosphere, great service and delicious food. good value for the quality of the food you're getting. definitely recommend!

After a self indulgent day at the classic car show I took my wife to dinner at Graffiti to say thank you. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The service is excellent without being intrusive and it shows that it is delivered by people who...

As soon as you are greeted with a welcoming smile,the wonderful smells and classy playlist you know you're onto a winner. Not only is the food 1st class the portions are truly Italian! Cannot wait to return,all four of us had a superb evening and...

We spent a wonderful evening at Graffiti Restaurant tonight in Harpenden. The food for all four of us was delicious, service superb a really relaxing, wonderful evening. Highly recommended.

Went with work colleagues , the service was very good , polite , friendly and efficient Food was very good , authentic , prepared in house Already booked again

Staying at nearby Luton Hoo Hotel we decided to pop in to nearby Harpenden to have an evening meal yesterday and found Graffitti. To put it simply, we could not fault the food or the service. Everything was provided swiftly and with charmand the food...

Pleasant, clean, modern surroundings with friendly staff. Very slow service with average food. Not what I expect from an Italian restaurant but still priced at Italian restaurant prices. Also do takeaway pizzas.

I can't believe we have never been here before, we would defiantly be back. A lovely warm welcome on arrival and we where served very quickly, the food was brilliant, our daughters chose the spaghetti with the most amazing sauce I have to say. The...

Was ok but the staff that served was kind of ...unhappy...so that doesn't lets you enjoy very much unfortunatly

Have been many times before but not for a few years. Went on a Sunday night to celebrate my sons birthday and while the very friendly hosts warned us that service might be a bit slow as there was only the two of them working...

My wife and I and our family have eaten here a number of times and it's fantastic. The staff . The food . And especially the chef Niel are all amazing and always willing to try and help as much as they possibly can. We...

Omg, it's a hidden gem, no need to reserve- service wonderful and food amazing. Huge parts of me want to keep the secret to myself, but it's too good not to share!! (Try the seafood rissotto 💕💕💕)

Early evening dinner. Local parking quite easy. Italian food to a high standard, veal nicely cooked. Service a little slow, but the table cloths for drawing,while one waits, the special gimmic rather fine. Dessert not as good as the main, whitebait starter however well proportioned

We recently visited this restaurant with friends prior to attending a musical event at the local public hall. As we were on a tight time schedule the staff were excellent in guiding our selections to food they could serve to their high standard in the...

We frequently come here for birthdays of various different family members,the service and food is always excellent. Great for children as crayons are provided to draw on the table clothes, you must try the mussels !!!!

Couldn't fault this restaurant at all - amazing food, great service and child friendly. All the food was to a high standard and tasted fresh. Highly recommended

Have been a couple of times, good value Italian food, very friendly staff, absolutely adequate. it isn't fine dining- but it is perhaps the best value Italian in the neighbourhood.

Everything you want in a local Italian . Went with kids and the staff were fantastic. Food spot on and more importantly very fresh. Great calamari, mussels and pizza and pretty good value.

Modestly presented Italian restaurant with friendly attentive personnel. This is family run and I was impressed by the friendly welcome ( hugs etc) so many clients received. Evidently it is well known and supported in the locality. It is very child/family friendly living up to...

Been several times but sensed friction between wife and husband owners and atmosphere not as relaxed as it should be.

We had a party of 7 and we could not have wished for better service. The food was great too. Will return to enjoy again. Thanks

I met my daughter for dinner at the Graffiti restaurant In Harpenden, I am a great supporter for honest, attentive, clean independent restaurants where food is made in house. In my opinion Harpenden has one too many restaurants now the chains and big names coming...

Food was ok, the menu is a pretty standard Italian fare and doesn't really take many risks. We shared starters the prawns were tasty but a bit steep at around £9 for 4. Pasta was good, pizza a bit doughy. Waitress had poor knowledge of...

We decided to give this restaurant a go having read reviews previously and we decided last minute to go out for dinner. Luckily for a Saturday night their was availability it was lovely and peaceful, clean and the staff were were friendly. Pizza's was lovely...

Love coming to graffittis such great food and service as always Neil and his staff are so friendly, restaurant is very clean and has modern decor. Situated right hear train station. You will need to book as gets very busy especially weekends

Every visit reminds me why Graffiti Harpenden is my favourite restaurant. Great food along with personal friendly service. Thank you

The food is always delicious. The two waitresses are very friendly and welcoming. They remember our likes and dislikes. Its a popular place and highly recommended.

I ordered two takeaway pizzas on Sunday evening and they were delicious. Thin and crispy with very generous toppings. Very polite, warm and professional service. Will return for a proper sit-down meal soon.

I ordered two take away pizzas and they were pretty awful. The base wasn't crispy it felt like they needed cooking longer. Shame as the price was great.

My family and I are regulars here and I cannot recommend it highly enough. A wide choice of dishes and drinks plus they have recently started providing prosecco by the glass which a lot of establishments don't. The waiting staff Charlotte and Nicola always provide...

Stayed one night in Harpenden, checked out the various Italian restaurants on TripAdvisor & decided on the Graffiti, booked a table for three people, turned up at 8.00 on a Saturday & there weren't that many people in, which was a bit worrying with the...

I do not like to write negative reviews but just felt that our meal at Grafiti was so bad last week I had to warn others. Waiting staff miserable, dark, no atmosphere. Food was not fresh and could tell frozen. Waited 25 mins for drinks...

Excellent Italian restaurant run by locals - not a horrible chain ! Nice relaxed atmosphere with friendly servers Charlotte and Nicola. The Amatriciana dish is the best I have ever had - better than anywhere in Italy and we have been to several places in...

Visited for dinner recently with my family. We were a last minute booking. It is many years since I have been ito Graffiti as we tend to go to another Italian restaurant. We were all very pleased with our food and the excellent service. We...
