I enjoy going to Grana because it's consistently delicious and uses quality ingredients. Their drinks are always on par whether it's an espresso martini, an old fashioned or wine. I've not had anything I didn't like from their menu. It's always my go-to for a delicious Italian meal.

It was a great experience, was welcomed by everyone when I arrived and they were genuine. Our waitress Amanda was very attentive and at the conclusion of our dinner. Our waitress sand Happy Birthday off key but it was intended and extremely funny. I will definitely return when in the area.
