Good food, good service, good vibe, good value. Its tight a space in the restaurant area where we sat at a high top along with wall next to the bar. Its a relatively long bar that has comfortable seats and multiple TV's above. Bottom line, Its a great casual neighborhood place that you will leave full and content! We will definitely be back.

The food was tasty but not impressive. The waitress was kind but it was tough to find her at times.

Food was excellent the meatballs taste like sundae supper at your grandparents Everything was out of this world, and Nino the owner/chef mingles with the customers to see how everyone is doing! Great vibe I would strongly recommend it

Food has never disappointed, my repeated issue is with the wait service. I am generally given a table in the bar area, and the server is always wonderful, however the server is also the bartender, so they are waiting tables as well as serving those at the bar and being the bartender for the entire restaurant as well. Because of the good food, the restaurant is never slow and the bartender seems to have too much assigned to them. This results in us always having to flag them down because they have so much assigned to them. Otherwise always good food, good ambiance, and good but overworked service.

Overall a good experience. But I think the dishes are pricey. Not sure why this has a $$ price rating -should at least be $$$. The service was very good and friendly. The ambiance nice and the restaurant inviting; however, he chairs, while they look comfortable, are very worn. I sunk pretty low in them (standard table height). Overall OK.

We were dining at Grano fairly regularly after it opened, but have gradually stopped going. The owners were active (at least I think they were owners), and the manager was very engaged. It was very good. Unfortunately, it has gradually declined in my opinion.

Food - the food was very good, especially the salads and pasta dishes. But it has become inconsistent, especially anything from the grill.

Experience - the atmosphere is very nice. The reception was very good in the past, but is no longer that warm.

Service - the service was very good, but has declined. The last few visits were not good, and I think the manager has kind of “checked out.”

Overall, given the above, the value proposition falls short. Just my opinion here. I hope they get it together again.

Always great. Food is so good. If you can sit at the bar. Get the meatballs and the grandma pie. One of my favorite places.

first time trying a Negroni! They were kind enough to also make us a Negrono Sbagliato even though it wasn’t on the menu.

We had an amazing experience at Granos! We came in for happy hour and were blown away by the quality and value. The drink and small plate prices were incredibly fair, and the portions were surprisingly generous. The calamari was perfectly crispy and a great size for a happy hour item, and the meatballs were just as impressive—rich, flavorful, and hearty. For our main courses, we split the antipasto chop salad and the pepperoni hot honey pizza. Both were absolutely delicious. The salad was fresh and full of bold, tangy flavors, and the pizza was the perfect balance of spicy and sweet, with a fantastic crust. What really sets Granos apart is the service. It's clearly a team effort here—every server who passed our table checked in on us with a smile, making sure we had everything we needed. This place is an absolute gem. We'll definitely be back!
