Ronnie Grisanti's

Ronnie Grisanti's is an Italian restaurant in Memphis serving northern Italian cooking from a family tradition that the owner traces back to Rinaldo Grisanti, who came to Memphis in 1909. The menu draws on the family's Tuscan roots, and the owner describes a line of Antico Nuovo dishes that blend the family recipes with newer ideas. The family history runs through several earlier Memphis restaurants, including Grisanti's on Main, Grisanti's on Airways, and Ronnie Grisanti and Sons on Marshall.

The restaurant takes reservations and online orders, and it sells gift cards. It is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, with a closing time of 10 PM, and it is closed on Sundays. Ronnie Grisanti's is at 6150 Poplar Ave. in Memphis, in the Poplar Plaza area near Poplar and Humes, and its dining room is a good fit for a special dinner.
