    The vibe was absolutely wonderful. Great bar scene, all the tables were filled, but the noise level was not bad at all. Overall, our food was good. Where I would make some adjustments: The broccoli rabe and sausage was more beans than broccoli rabe, and the broccoli rabe was a bit bitter. The tomato sauce served with the chicken parm was definitely more acidic than it should’ve been. The bread served was outstanding-definitely the highlight of the meal. Lastly, to charge two dollars extra for blue cheese stuffed olives in a martini is a bit petty. Don’t you think?

    My husband and I frequent Grano quite a lot. Great local spot…standard menu has great options and specials always offer a treat, last evening had ahi tacos that were just the right amount of spice, husband had short rib lasagna which was plentiful portion with a lot of meat. Service is always top notch and ambience can’t be beat for local spot. Will keep returning…new staple in our dining repertoire.
