Felice anniversario! Paula & Giovanni......


Tonight, we're hosting a special couple spending their 22nd Anniversary at the Amelia Payson House. Like all busy business owners, special celebrations can take second stage, but as a surprise for Giovanni, (chef and co-owner of Caffe Graziani here in Salem) his wife Paula was not going to let their Anniversary go uncelebrated. Rather than return home to East Boston after they close their restaurant for the night, they will be staying in Salem and hopefully enjoying some nightlife before settling into their accommodations at our B&B. We are so glad that Paula gave us a last minute shout and we are thrilled that we could accommodate them. While they may not be here for our breakfast, as they too serve breakfast at the restaurant, they at least will be able to lounge in a bit longer than usual as their their travel time to the Caffe in the morning will be more of a short stroll over to Washington Street as opposed to a earlier mad dash from Boston. Don and Ada wish Paula & Giovanni a very Happy Anniversary and many more years of wedded bliss.......and sweet sauce success at the Caffe.



Celebrating 19 Years in Salem 1991 - 2010
"A bit of Europe in America" "An Italian restaurant in Salem celebrating the family".

At Caffe Graziani, Giovanni, Paula ,and the whole family strive to extend a welcoming family feel at their restaurant. Located on Washington Street in downtown Salem, their business card logo features a child's drawing of the family with the slogan, "The Family Place". Their menu is pure home style Italian and plentiful, and their desserts are homemade.
A real favorite with the locals are their special International Wine Dinner Nights; a five course indulgence, no guilt.
Their Hours are: Tuesday and Wednesday, 8 a.m.-3 p.m.; Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m.- 8 p.m.; Sunday, 7:30 a.m.-1 p.m.; and closed Monday.
