We are in town on our Honeymoon, we decided to find a nice local restaurant to celebrate our one week of marriage. WOW! This was hands down, the BEST dining experience we have ever experienced. We were so lucky to get a table without a reservation, the staff was so kind, efficient, and personable! The (we believe to be) owner, Maricio, was the most passionate and genuine human. He took the time to come over to our table and chat with us, share with us his story and his excitement at having been named one of the top 10 Italian Restaurants in California (which we did not know until he told us, we were not surprised as it was impeccable!). The food was so fresh, full of flavor, and light despite being pasta and pizza! The waiter brought over a sample of wine before our dessert course, and they even brought out a complementary dessert along with the dessert that we ordered to celebrate our marriage! We will be coming back for every anniversary to come!! Thank you to all of the staff, it was a perfect and magical experience!
This is 1 of our favorite Italian restaurants. The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection! Great customer service!
Exceptional authentic Italian food + a warm and friendly family atmosphere. The complimentary bread is absolutely amazing. I could just eat that all day.
Went to this italian restaurant and we all loves it, we shared all the meals. And all of them very delicious and the chef came to greet us as wsll
I can’t say I’m an Italian food expert, but I’ve been to several Italian joints in la county, Orange County, and places around the general so-cal region… And I will say: This is my favorite Italian food spot of all time. The location is truly unassuming. But the vibe, employees, service, the chef. Oh my goodness. The taste of the food was out of this world. Again I’m not Italian nor an expert, but I will say this… you will not be disappointed with a true ITALIA RISTORANTE
This restaurant is a favorite of mine. Not only do you get a home cooked style meal, but the gratitude and personal thank you from the chef and owner combined with a very welcoming atmosphere is not just great food but an outstanding experience. I highly recommend the specials. They are hand-made pasta and nothing but fresh great ingredients but cooked with love. You will not regret visiting and dining here.
Just went back with my parents on Monday, July 18th 2022 and it was exactly as good and consistent as my first visit. Please read my original Yelp review from May 2022 below :) do yourself a favor and just try GRANO! Just found this little piece of heaven next to Target tonight. I took my wife here for a date and we were both mind blown. Best dinner in ages. We both never felt so comfortable and cared for. Multiple staff connected in meaningful ways. Service tops even the most expensive steakhouses. The presentation of the food was over the top. The overall cleanliness, ambiance and taste is impeccable. The sauce for the complimentary fresh baked bread is sweet and rich. The Margherita pizza. Amazing crust! The real wow was the pasta Genovese with 2 day braised beef! Tender and packed with flavor. Pasta cooked to literal perfection. Fresh melty cheese. I really need more! Coming back for dessert and bringing friends! Keep up whatever wizardry is going on in this place! This will be a family staple for my little family for years to come.
Don’t believe the random 1 star reviews, if you want a consistent good meal and experience then you should come here, they have the freshest ingredients and always have specials that are updated regularly, with meats or things you never would have thought of trying, for example rabbit, ended up being on e of the best dishes I’ve had. Only come here twice fore special occasions, and when you compare it to the downtown LA arts district food, which is good too, grano is considerably as good if not better than the acclaimed restaurants there, while having affordable prices, and some more expensive specials that you’d regret not trying. Also they had a raisin chocolate cake thing that was also prefect. 11/10 would recommend
