A great find!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Italian RestaurantWe have been in Italy a number of times, and recently upon returning we visited Grano Emporio and found it more like Venice than any other restaurant, and we have been to many! It is real Italian and not Italian-American with outstanding dishes such as you will find in Venice, Florence and Umbria!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect EverytimeThe food is the centerpiece, always special and delicious, service perfect, a great place to double date. Thank you for always delivery first class dining.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat experience once again.Great experience once again. Only complaint is that outdoor chairs are uncomfortable. Spring for some padded seats. Love the food service and the house wines are great. Awesome Italian restaurant5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMA memorable eveningWe had friends in from out of town and wanted to show them a little flavor of Baltimore. It was perfect. Steve our waiter was entertaining and attentive. The food was amazing. One of our dinners did not get to the chef and was delayed. Obviously a disappointment but remedied quickly by no charge and a complimentary carafe of wine. The deserts were to die for. The lemon Tiramisu and poppy cake. Fabulous. We will definitely be back.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAlthough the menu doesn'tAlthough the menu doesn't seem large, the specials round everything out. The appetizers/small plate selection was terrific. We ordered a carafe of chianti and one of chardonnay; they were actually very good, although I was skeptical of house wine. I'd do it again. Will check out their Monday $20.13 offer and dine there again soon!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMSecond time I have been hereSecond time I have been here in the past 6 months. Food is consistently excellent.

Been to both their flag ship place and their pasta bar just down the street. Both are good but the main restaurant kicks it up a notch. More pricey but what a nice place. Should get more attention than it does.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMService is consistently theService is consistently the weak link. The food has been very good to excellent, the kitchen is on point.4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMItalian food places alwaysItalian food places always have the challenge of trying to standout. Grano does a wonderful job of doing just that. The service was friendly and very personable, the wine list open to all palates, and the food was absolutely superb. I look forward to another visit there.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThe only disappointing thingThe only disappointing thing about Grano Emporio is wines-by-the-glass are house wines. No labeled wines available by the glass.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMTotal HitAbsolutely loved Grano!

The music was a bit loud and it was difficult to hear our conversations. It could have been toned down. Some wine prices were discounted, which was nice. Our meal was very good with just the right amount of seasoning. I would have liked to have wheat pasta. They should consider adding it to their offerings.3/9/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was outstanding,The food was outstanding, the service was good, not great. A must go for foodies!2/17/2013 12:00:00 AM
