Easily my favorite restaurant in Baltimore and the best place for date night. Food is delicious, fairly priced, and the service is excellent. We love everything, but our favorites are the linguine al frutti di mare and the ravioli al funghi. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Place is amazing… family or date night ❤️ the staff are best and friendliest! See you soon!
We ordered the lasagna, tiramisu, and spaghetti thinking you can’t get the basic Italian items wrong. First time trying this place based off of the review. Lasagna barely had any meat or cheese, sauce taste off in both items, no utensils/napkins, and the tiramisu tasted old and flavorless. Don’t know how this place got these reviews but I won’t be back.

Extremely average Italian food. Nothing special about the carbonara or the bolognese, very unmemorable but by no means bad. The bread was good but insane amount of garlic in the dipping evoo (can’t even taste the oil). Great service and reasonable prices.
My partner and I celebrated valentine's day here for dinner and we both loved it. The restaurant is incredibly cozy - almost as if you get to enjoy fine dining in the comfort of your own home. We ordered the mussels, burrata, carbonara & bolognese with a bottle of red wine and the tiramisu for dessert. We joked that you know the food is good when both of us are silent. We truly sat in silence occasionally nodding our heads and talking about how yummy everything was. We left warm and full, happy and hearty. Will definitely be back!

Went here for valentine’s celebrations (a day early) and had a great time. My partner and I got the mussel appetizer, the burrata salad to share as well as a bottle of the montepulciano d’abruzzo to share and then we had the spaghetti carbonara and tagliatelle bolognese for our mains. Everything was delicious. Some of the food teetered on being too rich, but the wine paired well with what we got and cut some of the richness. We ended with the Tiramisu which was delicious and delicate.
One of the best restaurants in Baltimore! Great for special occasions like birthdays, date nights, anniversaries etc. or when you feel like treating yourself :) I have been going here since three yrs ago and the food is still delicious! I tried a few different pasta dishes but my favorite and go-to is linguine positano, or the clam pasta. It doesn’t have sauce like tomato sauce or cream sauce but it is so flavorful and light in a good way. I love clams so much that I wish it came with more clams lol but objectively speaking they give you a good amount of clams as in you can get 1-2 clams in every mouthful which I say is p fair and generous in this economy.I love the vibes here, it’s very chill as in they don’t require a formal attire but the mood still feels special with a bit dimmed lights and tablecloths and cloth napkins. The service is very pleasant, I never had a bad experience here everyone is polite and nice.

Overpriced lasagna that felt microwaved. Stale, chewy tiramisu. Had to pay for bread that was very normal bread. Very friendly service though!
I've been here twice recently and am always blown away by how friendly the staff is and how great the service is! The restaurant itself is also warm and cozy. They have a really wide range of pastas so there is something for everyone. Also, highly recommend the salads on their menu! They are all so fresh and make a great starter to split with someone before eating your pasta. The bread with garlic oil is also really delicious. I've always been too full for dessert but hope to try it next time I'm here!

Cheap, affordable and great food.Bolognese is a staple that's consistent. However the linguine dishes with seafood seems to be constantly changing.Great date night spot.

We ordered door dash from Grano, which was great as a site own restaurant. The door dash order was disgraceful and disgusting. Pasta was overcooked, sticky and tasteless. Meatballs tasted like canned food. Bruschetta was swimming in oil. Calamari immediately went to the the trash. Asked the restaurant what happened. No answer after several days. Won't be patronizing them again unless there's an explanation!

Honestly for take out pasta like it’s just not worth the price…. Paid 22$ for ravioli and it’s literally 4-5 individual raviolis….. it’s GOOD don’t get me wrong but it’s not that good. Same with the pasta carbonara. Nothings wrong with it it’s just so damn expensive considering there’s like no actual atmosphere or seating or anything like u just pick it up to go. No hate to the staff or anything they’re all so nice but it’s just too expensive for what it is imo. But it is good!!!

Whenever we are in the mood for pasta, Grano pasta bar is our favorite. The pasta is perfectly cooked and portions are generous. I especially like the pasta with shrimp and my husband likes the pasta with meatballs. We also very much enjoy the bruschetta appetizer and tiramisu. This place is a gem!P.S. During another visit, we shared an excellent salad with anchovies and I had the calamari with linguine while my husband had the linguine with clams. We ended our delicious dinner with a large portion of tiramisu and expressos. Everything was so delicious!!!
