Grano Italian Restaurant & Wine Bar

You would not think of finding an authentic Italian restaurant hidden in the Duarte Target Center, but let me tell you that this place is DELICIOUS!! The pizza is a thinner crust which I do enjoy because the cheese tastes fresh and so yummy with fresh basil on top, mmmm! Our party also ordered [vegan] gnocchi with marinara (arrabbiata style if you are brave) and also chicken Alfredo. The chicken Alfredo plate is generous for a "big eater." Chef Landi was so kind as to welcome me the first time I visited to pick up my "to go order." We have returned twice as I look for consistency in service and quality ...it is there!!

My favorite dish has been lasagna for years, and Grano has now been named the best lasagna I have ever had. The initial bread display is not only beautifully presented but also delicious, includes bread, pear and honey... We ordered seafood creme soup (forgot the name), lasagna, ravioli, tortolini, pizza, chocolate dessert, tiramisu, Moscato w sage and everything was delicious... First time for me but not for the rest of the family... A lot of couples in the smaller tables, but 8 of us sat in the back area that is kind of sectioned off, I think it can maybe fit a party of 12 or more. They also have outside sitting The waiter and waitress were perfectionist and on point, the chef/owner also came out to greet us, maybe because the place was busy but was overloaded and allowed him to come out of the kitchen. I will definitely recommend this delicious food with extraordinary service to anyone ... Great job chef and team

We ended up here after Ren Faire because the Spaghetti Factory was busy. Never again will I go anywhere else after Faire. In fact, we're going to have to find reasons to make the trek to Duarte so that we can come back. The food is that good. The Focaccia is amazing. Fresh flat bread, pears, fried cheese, fresh honey - divine. The Lasagna is fantastic. We also had half portions of the seafood and mushroom risottos - sooooo good! Fabrizio, the chef, is truly inspired, and I think it's family-run.
