delicious food, friendly wait staff, just casual enough to stop by for dinner anytime no matter how you feel or what you're wearing-- it's the perfect local restaurant tried and true.

My wife and I decided to visit Grano for a pre-show, first anniversary dinner - mainly for its proximity to our apartment on Greenwich Avenue. We both enjoy the occasional Italian dinner, but are not afficinados. The ambiance was very pleasant with the staff welcoming and accommodating. We arrived a bit early for our Friday night reservation, but had no wait around 6pm (although Im sure that would not have been the case later). We each had a fine dish (she the stuffed chicken, me the Grano Pizza) and split the Grano Salad and a reasonable bottle of Chianti. My wife especially enjoyed the whipped garlic butter that came with the bread selection. My one complaint (that I kept to myself) was the Grano pizza came topped with WAY too much arugola (I essentially ate two salads that night). All-in-all, not a bad first anniversary dinner.

Go before 7:00 for the pizza

The specialty pizzas are tried and true. Other appetizers, pastas, and specials are hit or miss. Rich flavors, but they can be too rich. If you go to the restaurance late in the day, they will likely be out of shellfish, which cuts the menu in half. If you arrive after seven in the evening, you'll have to wait about half an hour for a table. This is still true even if you make reservations. Avoid going here for special occasions because they don't really hold your reservations they just take them. Romantic atmosphere. Polite servers, but rather neglectful.

Go for the pizza, salads, casual environment

It's a large place with an inviting pizza oven atmosphere, but I go mainly for the Grano salad (with beets, arugala and great dressing) and to share a Margarita pizza. With a glass of white wine, that's a cheap and delicious meal. The main courses aren't as good, so I stick to what I like here. The place is huge, open for lunch and dinner, an easy place to meet and eat, but don't expect much from the main courses. Two can happily share a thin-crusted pizza.
