★★★★★ 5/5 – Great Food, Fantastic Service, and a Wonderful Atmosphere! First time dining at Grano Italian Tavern, and we had a great experience! It's not a very large restaurant, but it has a beautiful, cozy atmosphere and a really nice vibe. We were seated at a high-top table toward the back, which I normally don't prefer, but it actually worked out perfectly. Very comfortable and inviting. The service was outstanding! Our waitress, I believe her name was Nicole, was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, personable, professional, and extremely attentive. The entire waitstaff was just as impressive. Everyone was welcoming, knowledgeable about the menu, happy to explain the dishes and drinks, and always checking to make sure we had everything we needed. You really felt taken care of. We started with the hot honey pizza, which was excellent! Perfect for sharing and a great way to start the evening. For dinner, my wife and our friend both ordered the rigatoni special with a creamy sauce and peas, and they absolutely loved it. Both said it was fantastic! I ordered the Chicken Francese with spaghetti, which was very good and nicely prepared. Everything was enjoyable, and we had a wonderful dinner. Overall, a fantastic evening with delicious food, a beautiful atmosphere, and truly exceptional service. The staff really makes this place stand out. We'll definitely be back, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Grano to anyone looking for a great Italian restaurant with a warm, welcoming atmosphere!

This place is a GEM! The food was delicious from our first course to the last. They have seasonal drinks so you can have your usual or switch it up for something fun. I can't wait to go back for another apple cider margarita from 387! The service was impeccable. We were lucky enough to meet one of the owners and he was incredibly kind and welcoming. We plan to go back very soon!
