What a treat to dine at Grano Arso. The detailed rotating menu, locally sourced ingredients, and thoughtfully curated cocktails. Enjoyed our dinner and can’t wait to return. I did the prix fix menu and did not regret that. The pasta is all house made, bread house made, butter, you guessed it, in house. Beets appetizer is the best beets I have ever had, the acidity, hazelnuts, crunch from the cabbage, exquisite. The chef clearly is passionate about their craft. Can’t wait for my next visit!

We love this place. Everything from the drinks to food are phenomenal. Highly recommend. Only complaint, on this visit my dinner tasted amazing, but a very small portion. We mentioned the portion size to our sever and were compensated with a dessert and 2 glasses of champagne. We love this place and will be back.

Absolutely 10 stars plus! We opted for the chef’s tasting menu. Wow. Thanks to our server (Cassie) the service was perfect. Timing between plates was excellent - not rushed but not too long. Fabulous, creative team in the kitchen. Each plate was beautifully composed and presented. Standout dishes included Scallops with Polenta Fresca, Wagyu Bolegnese Tagliatelle and Lamb Loin and Confit Flank with Hazelnut Romesco. This was our second visit. We’re definitely headed back!

Wish I could give this place 6 stars.. wow.. hidden gem. The service was amazing, the drink menu was great, everything was extremely tasty , I rarely want to come back to a restaurant but I can’t wait to come back here. Whoever is putting together these dishes is a master chef.. I rarely get this impressed from a restaurant but everything from the bread to the butter to the salads the homemade pasta the crispy chicken , even the carrot cheesecake .. wow, touché kitchen staff.. touché.. everything was delectable I licked the plates clean like a homeless man.

We went for a date night this past Wednesday night. Quickly realized that you have to really reserve your table ahead of time or else you’re not getting into the restaurant (a tip given to us by a friend). The service was amazing and absolutely was very attentive in between waiting for our food. The main room can be very loud at moment (but that’s just because of our own hearing loss lol). We spent about two hours there, but mainly it was waiting for our entrées and the appetizer. Even just gaining our drinks from the bar took a little bit of time. I didn’t take a picture but we had the peach appetizer which was very good (I was surprised) and was very light. I plan on trying to mimic this later. The one thing that has deterred us from coming back is I have to be very careful with my sal
