Troy Danderson during opening remarks. \u201cAnd from my own experience I think we have brought in the right restaurant, at the right time to fill that void.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation are excited for this next chapter and believe that the team at The Italian Grill are well on their way to solidifying their foothold in Wiesbaden with their warmth and delicious Italian-American menu.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian Grill is open Sunday through Friday for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and for dinner from 5 to 10 p.m. and is closed on Saturdays and Federal Holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Diverse menu items include Italian and American favorites such as pasta, pizza, burgers, steak, brisket, ribs and many more.
