Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton was sixth and Mclaren's Jenson Button eighth.
Red Bull had not anticipated that this race will be one of their strongest, however their execution in practice was as noteworthy as any they have prepared not long from now.
Vettel - who was fourth quickest in the first session behind Hamilton, Alonso and the second Mercedes of Nico Rosberg - was agreeably snappiest on both the "hard" and softer "medium" tyres.
Raikkonen had said on Thursday he supposed Lotus might battle, however in second practice they were the title holders closest challengers, 0.663secs slower than Vettel.
The Finn was running an auto with a more drawn out wheelbase, pointed at handling better downforce and enhanced braking soundness, while Grosjean was in the standard auto - however they set indistinguishable lap times to the thousandth of a second.
Alonso has conceded he should beat Vettel this weekend and diminish his 46-focus shortfall in the title, yet on the groundwork of lap times on Friday that will be an extreme ask.
BBC 5 live expert and previous F1 driver Allan Mcnish said: "Right now I need to say I don't think Ferrari have indisputably the pace of the Red Bull.
"I suppose it will be a ton closer in qualifying than the 0.6secs crevice we see between Vettel and the rest on Friday however it truly needs to be if individuals are set to attempt to provoke him in the race."
Hamilton comes to Monza on the once again of four successive post positions, however he appeared to battle for pace in the second session - practically 0.9secs off Vettel and 0.027secs in front of Rosberg, who part him from Button.
"I still think there is something in the Ferrari, however. What's more I anticipate that the lap times will be closer in qualifying than they are today.
"Interestingly, the Red Bulls are running with a more terrific difference of aeromechanic set-up than I have seen for quite a while. Vettel seems to have less front wing and more back wing and Webber the other path around. It will be intriguing to check whether they merge on Saturday - as actually they did in Spa keep going time out."
Ferrari have been fined 10,000 euros for an occurrence where Felipe Massa almost hit colleague Fernando Alonso at the passageway of the pit path after the session had authoritatively finished.
Full comes about because of the second practice session in Italy.
