" Absolutely fantastic dining experience! We were treated like family from the moment we stepped into Grano. Our server was personable and offered great recommendations. I had the bolognese which was simply incredible—rich, meaty sauce that resonated with authentic Italian flavors. The ambiance was buzzing, perfect for a weekend dinner out. I regret not leaving room for dessert because the dishes I saw leaving the kitchen looked divine. Definitely my new favorite Italian spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! I love the old-world vibe of Grano Pasta Bar. The food reflects authenticity — the arrabbiata sauce has the right amount of kick, and the penne was perfectly al dente. Portions were a bit smaller than I'd like, but the flavors were quite satisfying. The service was fantastic, although we had to wait a little longer than expected for our drinks. I’ll definitely recommend it to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" When dining at Grano, I immediately felt transported to Italy. The decor, the aromas, and the flavors all encapsulate an authentic Italian experience. I had the field greens salad and then the fettuccine alfredo, which was creamy and perfect. The overall length of time for our meal was a little longer than expected, which is something to keep in mind if you are short on time. Regardless, I hope to see you there. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Grano was a fantastic way to spend our evening! The pasta was fresh, the tomato sauce was vibrant; however, the portions felt small for a reasonable price. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement, making it a lively place for dinner. Our staff was friendly and very attentive. I am definitely coming back but will likely order a bit more to satisfy my appetite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Grano was recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is really cozy and the staff very attentive. I ordered the carbonara which was decent, but I have had better elsewhere. The portion was a bit small for the price, leaving me wanting just a tad more. The service was quick, and I loved the rustic decor. I’d give it another try, particularly for their dessert as I saw many tables order the tiramisu, which looked scrumptious. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Grano multiple times and have consistently had wonderful meals. The lasagna is outstanding— layers of flavor and the right balance of cheese and meat, cooked fresh daily. We always bring our wine, which enhances the dining experience. Once I had a little mishap with my order, but the staff quickly resolved it. It's such a cozy space, perfect for our gatherings; highly recommend their pasta! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I have been to Grano a couple of times now, and we have always had an enjoyable time. The crab ravioli is a Must-Try! It felt indulgent and honestly worth every penny. I like the casual yet lively setting; it feels both welcoming and festive, perfect for families. There was a bit of a wait for our food, but the staff was friendly and the atmosphere made up for it. We’ll keep returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
