Best italian dinner in my life! I will probably be here every date night with my wife. It feels like family. Love Katie and Elena. You could put that bolognese sauce on a flip flop & I'd eat it! DELIZIOSO!!!!!

I tried their gnocchi carbonara on Uber Eats and it tasted pretty bitter. Definitely interested in giving this place another try though.

I recently took my first trip to Sicily this summer. Grano's reminded me of that. The cozy atmosphere, the friendly staff, and good food. I had the risotto, which was great. I plan to return.

I don’t post reviews very often, but this was the best dinner I’ve had in ages. Food was wonderful, customer service was above and beyond, appearance was charming, and for the first time in a while at a restaurant, I felt the pricing was totally appropriate. Grano Pasta well done!!

I did NOT know that Grano had an inside, gorgeous restaurant space and I would HIGHLY recommend that everyone go check it out. The food and wine are impeccable as is the service and who doesn't love downtown Hampden? Don't forget the tiramisu!!!

On April 23rd, my family and I stumbled upon Grano Pasta Bar after a long search for a good place to eat. We were in town to surprise my nephew for his birthday and needed somewhere quick, with no long waits. Grano Pasta Bar fit the bill perfectly.
Parking wasn't an issue; we lucked out and found a spot right in front of the restaurant. Inside, the ambiance was cozy with wine bottles lining the walls, creating a warm atmosphere. We were greeted warmly by Katie, who provided excellent service throughout our visit. Despite the restaurant having a few other groups, we felt well attended to.
The food was exceptional. My sister loved the lasagna, rating it a perfect 10 for its cheesiness. My niece, who's picky, still enjoyed her spaghetti with meatballs and shrimp, giving it an 8 out of 10. My mom and nephew both ordered the penne vodka with chicken and couldn't finish their plates—they rated it 10/10 for its creamy sauce. I tried the ravioli with mushroom, also a 10/10 for its flavors.
We started with calamari, which was cooked to perfection, leaving us impressed with every bite. Katie even took a picture of our family, capturing a perfect birthday moment for my nephew.
The atmosphere was lively and inviting, with great music adding to the experience. It was clear that Grano Pasta Bar values both food quality and customer experience. The prices were reasonable, and the wine selection, including a memorable Moscato, complemented the meal perfectly.
In conclusion, Grano Pasta Bar exceeded our expectations with delicious food, warm service, and a fantastic ambiance. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Special thanks to Katie for making our visit memorable.
Parking: Being it was our first time we don’t know how crazy it could get on a weekend but the day we went it was easy to find parking and close as well.
I have a soft spot for Grano, but the current menu isn't my fav. They've switched to all generic pasta shapes and sauces like penne, spaghetti, and fettuccini. And the vegetarian options have thinned significantly. It was still good, but it wasn't something hard to get elsewhere like it used to be.

The pasta was okay. Definitely had much better. You can tell the shrimp were not seasoned at all (not even salt and pepper) before hitting the pan, but they were a decent size and amount for the price point. The sauce was not flavorful either. I did taste my boyfriend's sauce (spaghetti) and that did taste a little better. I ordered the LINGUINE ZIA TERESA described as follows "Our all-time classic recipe from Naples waterfront with Jumbo shrimp, garlic, white wine, herbs & Tomatoes. " Something I love about Italian food is the simplicity of certain dishes that are also so flavorful. This just wasn't it and the flavor didn't develop more after allowing the pasta to sit for a while and marry. The atmosphere was cute and quaint in the inside. They also have an outside seating area and a walk up take out window. The service was decent, but nothing extraordinary. I don't think I'll be coming here again unless I was extremely hungry and it was the only thing open. We didn't order any alcoholic beverages or dessert so I can't speak to these two things.
I just finally went to Grano's. Have heard good things about it.
