“I am a big fan of B & W’s overall food quality especially the variety of salads, especially the tunafish & fruit. Met a woman from Branford who comes especially for their Broccoli & Tunasalad a ***** always fresh. The homemade dressings delish especially the Honey Lime my favorite. Yes standing in line is never easy but servers work very hard to keep up with food requests & always willing to make the selections exactly as requested. We on the Shoreline fortunate to have such a great place to order such a variety of home cooked food.“

“Everything is great! Stop in and enjoy your lunch!“

“This is a takeout review. All food is eaten promptly in the vehicle. I ordered a side of meatballs and a large Pepperoni Pizza. The meatballs were excellent, moist, tender, with great flavor. The pizza was also very good. Great crust with some nice crisp and a tasty sauce. The portions were nicely balanced. The only down side was the pizza was larger than the box so three slices were bent over. On a scale from 0-10, i would rate this 9.1.“

“This was our 3rd visit to Gran Arso, and it is the third wonderful time that we immensely enjoyed our meals. The chef is truly talented, with many of the dishes pairing different ingredients that one would be surprised that would go so well together. It is truly one of our very top places that we have experienced. Previously we have had top notch servers. This time we were a little disappointed, however. She was slow to bring out our drink reorder (so much so that we ended up cancelling). She also made us feel that we were being rushed to get us out of the restaurant. Additionally, while well informed about the menu items, she did not directly answers some simple questions appropriately. (example: I asked her how the duck breast was prepared, wanting to know what temperature to expect the the meat to be served. She answered something like “perfectly”). We were not impressed! Other than our server, we had a wonderful experience, and I would HIGHLY recommend Grano Arso to anyone who is in this area!“

“The BEST pizza!!! Always crisp bottom, perfect crust and fresh ingredients. The staff is wonderful and the restaurant is charming and clean. If you're in a hurry they have pizza by the slice for a quick lunch. Highly recommend.“

The crust, sauce and toppings were amazing and just as described. Pricing is reasonable, the atmosphere comfortable and the service was timely and friendly. We enjoyed the experience and made it to the show on time.“
