Loved it there! So cute and cozy for a little last minute Christmas dinner with friends. The food, wine and service were incredible. Will definitely come back and will be a favorite of ours. A good go to spot if you want to get off Hanover Street.

First time dining at Grana and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Seven of us enjoyed a family holiday brunch - excellent food served so professionally. Holiday ambiance was elegant and picturesque. Our server even provided us with a little history lesson about the building and the paintings adorning the walls. We all agreed that we would return next holiday season for the family brunch, if not sooner!

Food, service and atmosphere was wonderful. My wife and I were in celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed! We both ordered off of the “specials” menu but started with a lobster filled mushroom appetizer. Highly recommend!
