All around fantastic! Cocktails were creative and not too sweet. Excellent wine selection. We had crispy potato for app which was amazing the excellent mushroom pasta dish and squid ink pasta dish. Service was great. We’ll definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: Delicious accommodation for allium allergy

The food is always so flavorful and special! We decided to try a Tuesday night on a prefix dinner although If was with friends and somebody wanted to eat off the menu and they told us we couldn't because we all have to do the prefix. I would be very disappointed. I asked if the carbonara could be a meal instead of joining the prefixed, and I was told no -Carbonara is not on the menu that night. $39 prefix menu was very good limited but very good. We enjoyed the goat cheese salad and the soup very much. My manicotti was delicious and the carbonara was great but a great deal of black pepper. next time we may try the prefix again since it changes every week, hopefully the two year old that was letting us all know in the small elegant space won't be there this time lol it's rough to sit for two hours in a nice restaurant when you're a child. Our wait staff was very good competent! I feel like I might be a little hard on them, but it is a restaurant that you pay for the atmosphere and some flexibility with the menu.

In order, the best thing about the place is, service, food, then atmosphere. And please, just leave the short rib on the menu full time.

A fantastic leisurely fine-dining experience. We had the chef's tasting menu with the optional wine pairing. Both the dishes and the wine paired perfectly together, and the lovely atmosphere and attentive staff helped us to just relax and enjoy the evening. If I had to choose one plate out of the five presented to have again, it would be the Duck paired with a high-tannin red wine. I wholeheartedly recommend the chef's tasting menu if you are out on a special occasion or just want to enjoy a variety of tastes for a fine-dining experience. The wine pairing elevates the plates to the next level, but the food itself is amazing on its own if you prefer not to drink.

Another good dining experience, the wait staff are professional and knowledgeable about both food and wine. We have been there many times over the last 2 years , it would be helpful if they changed there base menu, however there are always a few new large plates added in addition to rotating the small plates and appetizers, but they are mostly the same ones. Parking in there lot is a challenge and the parking in the area is always an issue.

I came in for Valentine's Dinner with wine pairing. Wine's and food were not good. Service was friendly, but our server did not know what she was doing as far as little things like remarking silverware before a course comes and bringing the wine paired with it. We were also sat by a window, and it was incredibly drafty, and we were cold the entire dinner. Dinner felt rushed. For the price of that meal, I expected more professionalism and better food and wine. Dinner lacked creativity.

I'm really hesitant to go short of five stars for Grano, because it's truly exceptional, but there was a kitchen glitch on this visit that messed up the service. They did apologize and I do appreciate it. One dish came out cold, after a peculiar delay, and the course order was screwed up. Again, I am not a complainer, and Grano remains our favorite local restaurants, and we'll be back...one little glitch can't damage their otherwise awesome reputation
We found the Valentines dinner to be outstanding and will probably do it again next year. Service was great. Didn't like standing outside in the freezing cold, though, waiting for 5:00pm table.

One of our favorite restaurants! The food is excellent every single time, it's one of the most consistent restaurants we visit. The food is amazing, the owners are wonderful, and the staff is attentive. It's the perfect space to gather with a friend, bring family who is visiting or just a nice evening out with your significant other.

Truly one of the best restaurants I have ever had the pleasure dining at. It was our first visit so we didn't really know what to expect but our minds were really blown away by just how perfect the food, drink, and service was. Mackenzie was our server and she did an exceptional job making us feel welcomed and special throughout the entire experience. On top of that all, Joel came out from the kitchen and presented each course of the chefs tasting menu to us which made the event even more fun and exciting. We will be returning soon!!!!

My husband and I have been coming here for years now on special occasions, and in that time Grano Arso has had some spectacular reviews and articles written in highly acclaimed food publications. Prople will travel far to come to this spot, and it is worth every second of travel time. The menu changes often depending on the season and what fresh produce and ingredients are available. Every item is diligently prepared and exquisitely crafted with amazing cocktails and wine pairings to boot. Every time we go it's a whole new experience, and we are NEVER disappointed. On this night, I had the most DELICIOUS beet salad I have ever tasted. I think about it all the time! And our meals were mouthwatering as well (look at photos for descriptions). Every bite down to the bread and butter was a pleasure. But the food is only one part. The comfortable ambiance and wonderful service is really what pulls everything together with this restaurant. To top it off, its nestled in the most beautiful and quant town that's lovely just to drive through let alone walk around! If you ever get the chance, GO!

We waited two hours for our food and it was mediocre. We also had AC blasting on us which we asked twice to be turned down but it was still freezing.
