Incredible food and service! Antonio was our server and entire team was amazing. We also got some service because we celebrated a birthday.

Everything was excellent. What we got to try: jumbo scallop, octopus rigatoni, scoglio, chocolate cake, moscato.

Going back for sure.

Grano is my new favorite Italian restaurant. The menu is exciting, both new and classic dishes, cooked to perfection, and it takes me back to my time spent in Italy. Great ambiance and an attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Glad we found this little Italian restaurant. The chef is from Napoli and was very engaging through out the meal, explaining each dish. The staff and service were outstanding. The food was decadent, rich and oh so filling. The wine selection was also very good, we got both a bottle of red and white and both were spectacular. It was a great night to celebrate a birthday. I highly recommend this place!

A gem of Italian food in Los Angeles. Perfectly prepared food with pure, real Italian flavors. Careful and personalized attention by its own chef Fabrizio Landi. As does his staff (Antonio strives to provide his service efficiently).
I will return again and again.

Grade A (95): Very surprising in such a nondescript location. Don't let the location fool you, it's a great Italian food restaurant hiding in the corner of a shopping center by Target in Duarte! Me and my buddy made our own "Tasting Menu" and Fabrizio course it out and timed bringing out each course perfectly. We will definitely be back with our wives this weekend. The food is very good, pastas are home made, sauces are very good. We had the Oxtail Papardelle and the Wild Boar Ragu Pasta, they also brought a nice crab soup with vegetables and a small amount of pasta that tasted very good. Also a special made Pasta with lemon & butter sauce, with Shrimp that was so perfectly done. Staff is very friendly and responsive, they come often clearing don't dishes and asking if we need anything. Fabrizio makes good recommendations and gives special descriptions of the food, as the Chef/Owner he's definitely passionate about the food. I also liked the palette cleanser, (a small arugula salad, simple with lemon dressing and the diluted non-alcohol limonecello drink) it does cleanse the palette before the food. See these in the pictures.

It’s been a while since I’ve visited but long overdue. Looking forward to taking my soon to be wife there soon. Fabricio and his staff are awesome. Very hospitable. A friend of mine named Martin worked in the kitchen for about a year a while back before he moved away and he said that Grano is the only restaurant who’s kitchen is clean and he’d eat there himself as a patron.

As for the food. It’s authentic Italian. For the quality of the meals. The prices are fair. This isn’t sphaghetti factory or Olive Garden run off the mill dishes.

Looking forward to stopping by in December once I’m back in town.

Parking: Giant parking lot shared by a shopping center.

If you were to tell me that there was delicious, authentic Italian food in the city of Duarte, I would not believe you. Tonight I stand corrected, Grano is the real deal. Everything was fresh and tasted like it was made by someone’s nonna in the back. Hands down the best Italian spot in the SGV. And for those of you who are nitpicky about service, we were treated like VIP even though it was our first time! Chef comped us a chowder like soup that was incredible and to our surprise, made without cream or milk! We celebrated a birthday tonight, and they gave us complimentary dessert wine. Highly recommend for dine in or take out.

Chef Fabrizio is the heart of this place. A true Italian Chef who brings authenticity and great food to the table for an unforgettable experience. Since I moved to the US from Europe, this is my place when I feel homesick. And if Fabrizio is not there, no worries, his papa is there to ensure you’ll have the greatest time.

Great and friendly staff and chef. The food was delicious. Went for the tasting menu but requires a group of 6. Right next to target, so plenty of parking.

this hands-down has to be one of the most low-key hidden gem best Italian restaurants I've ever tried. The portions were massive and super saucy and flavorful. The atmosphere was very cozy and welcoming. perfect for dinner with the kids or a date night. don't get me started on the dessert. Their dessert is insanely delicious. The staff and cooks were absolutely phenomenal riddled with great vibes. I can't believe this place isn't popping 24 seven if it is not already, you guys have to try this place I'm not kidding when I say it is THE BEST.

Kid-friendliness: perfect atmosphere and staff for kids to dine in very patient, loving and welcoming
