Italian Restaurant and Neapolitan Pizzeria Grana From Chef Pat Pascarella Opens at Ashford Lane in Dunwoody | Eater Atlanta
"At the Ashford Lane development in Dunwoody, Grana—Pat Pascarella’s second location after originally opening on Piedmont Avenue in Piedmont Heights three years ago—offers wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas, the handmade pastas Pascarella is known for, entrees such as roasted chicken and whole branzino, and a section dedicated to meatballs with an option for a meatball tasting; there’s also a build-your-own cannoli dessert. Food is meant to be shared family-style with many recipes inspired by Pascarella’s family, and the bar serves classic cocktails, Italian wines, and beer. The restaurant features a sunny patio, outdoor counter seating facing the bar inside, a takeout window for frozen drinks, a private events space, and catering services, and Pascarella hopes to begin hosting ticketed classes on pasta and pizza making, cocktails, and butchery; a third, much larger Grana is planned for Roswell’s Southern Post by the end of 2023." - Beth McKibben
