Grano Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar

I give 💯 score! A real hidden Gem 💎 by far the best Italian food, authentic, FRESH, great ingredients, real taste… My man and I found this place by chance one afternoon we were in that area for a bike ride… and God we are so happy we happened to experience this amazing food!
We ordered takeout but I could already tell how friendly and polite the staff were when I went in to pick up the food. And the vibe was so cozy, classic and European.
We tried a bunch of different food and they were ALL AMAZING! No exaggeration
First time ever I really liked a restaurant lasagna!
The Risotto was great
We ordered sausage they were so fresh and high quality.. did not burn throat as cheap sausage does
The pizza crust was just bellisimo

We also tired bolognese pasta, fried calamari, veil plate as well.. ALL AMAZING! I can recommend all

This charming Chef & Father owned Italian restaurant is a gem. The house made pasta, sauces …. All their dishes are delicious. We have been here many times. My husband had one of his favorites, pasta puttanesca with cod. I had the oxtail stew, a special that night. It had been slowly braised for hours and the sauce was divine. Service is always excellent; knowledgeable about the dishes, professional yet warm & friendly. The restaurant is small and cozy. There is a patio in front with a view of the mountains. Grants never disappoints.

I am not a big fan of Italian food, but the reviews attracted me to come give this place a try. This place is nicely decorated, and it gives me fine dining vibes. The servers were very friendly, kind, and knowledgeable with the dishes. Since I am not a fan of the food, and I did not know much about it, I simply asked the server for his recommendation. He recommended a pasta with beef shoulder, and ravioli in vodka sauce. The beef shoulder is very tender, and the sauce is very light. It did not feel heavy at all. However, the pasta was very much undercooked that was hard! I gave it 3 stars. The ravioli in vodka sauce was amazing! It was very tasty, and the sauce is very flavorful. I decided to mix this sauce with the beef shoulder pasta. Five stars for this dish.

The portion is bit small, and I left feeling hungry still. The totally came out to be $80 for 2 pastas, which was a bit pricy.

Grano Italian Restaurant in Duarte was absolutely amazing. My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner here.

We had the honor of meeting the owner, Fabricio, who is from Napoli, Italy. He was walking around and greeting every guest with so much kindness and care. You can tell he is a hard worker and truly dedicated to his restaurant and his customers.

The food was fresh, clean, and full of flavor. Every dish we tried was wonderful and felt very authentic. The service, the atmosphere, and the overall experience made our night special.

If you are looking for authentic Italian food and a place where the owner truly cares, I highly recommend Grano. We will definitely be coming back.

Best Italian food in SoCal.
Amazing tomato sauce, very authentic old school Italian style. Highly recommended

LADIES. The sexiest head chef whips up hearty Italian delights here. And, fortunately for you, he’s single. He’a charming, ripped, and cooks just as well as Massimo Bottura—he’s just way hotter. Ladies. Cmon now. HURRY

My fiancé and I have never rated a restaurant 10/10 before… but Fabrizio and the team at Grano earned a 10 hands down. Michelin level flavor and attention to detail. Thank you Grano for a remarkable experience, I cannot wait to come back. (We had the Genovese with Pappardelle, and Squid Ink with seared scallops 100/10!)
