“Wandered in with a friend. We were looking for a quiet place to have a drink. Sat at the bar. The pinot noir was yummy so we stayed for another. Atmosphere warm and cozy. Service excellent. Stayed for dinner. Had the tagliarini with seared scallops. Amazingly good. I'm trying to figure out when I can go back. Glad to hear they are extending their hours to 7 days a week”

“Grano Arso is an absolute must-try! The food was unbelievably good, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Lani, Chef Joel, and the entire staff truly know what they’re doing. We started with the peaches and Nardello peppers, followed by the short rib, Toasted Rye Tagliatelle, and Rigatoni Bolognese. Everything was incredible and so well done. Easily one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Hands down, you need to try this place. We will absolutely be back!”

9 Jimmy’s Legacy Grille

4.1 Good 44 Reviews

9 Main Street, East Haddam · 7.68 miles

“We stopped in last minute before our Saturday night Goodspeed show and sat at the bar. The drinks were very well made and brought out promptly. We knew we did not have time for entrees and ordered the Eggplant Rollatini and Crab Cake special appetizers. They also were brought out promptly and were absolutely delicious and generous portions. We are looking forward to going back soon! Follow up: We came back looking forward to another great meal. The drinks were still fantastic. We orders three appetizers and dessert. The Eggplant Rollatini which last time was fresh, delicious and generous this time felt like warmed over left overs and a smaller portion. The Brussels were good. The meatballs were good but felt like a small portion for $15. We were really bummed about the cheesecake for dessert, it was a very petite slice which we got to share and tasted like a frozen cheesecake maybe worth $6-8 but not $12. We might come back again but dialing back our expectations for the next visit.”
