Grano

This is a special place for us. I don't know how I can put this into words. There's a certain feeling of home when you walk into the restaurant. A sense of grace, something that's just so comforting and familiar. My wife and I have been multiple times and every meal is exceptional. The pasta is made fresh and if you're lucky you can get a seat right next to them making it! My wife and I got lucky on our honeymoon and did just that. The staff is excellent, the food is divine, and the wine selection is superb. Don't forget to make a reservation in advance!

Probably the best Neapolitan restaurant in Dublin. The pasta was made fresh in front of us, and the staff were amazing. Hard to single out a dish, but if I had to, the aubergine parmigiana starters is a must! The special of the day had generous sliced black truffles on top, made a lovely rich dish. Tiramisu is probably the best I've tasted so far anywhere.

Grano had been on my list forever with all the hype — and wow, it actually lives up to it. Best Italian I’ve had in Dublin, no question. Everything was so fresh and full of flavour. Totally worth the wait for a table. Can’t wait to go back!

Olive oil for the bread is a bit stingy portion-wise. Vegan main (tomato pasta) could do with more protein (maybe beans? Or chickpea pasta? Aubergine starter is very good. Service very proactive with refilling the water.

Amazing atmosphere, felt like I am in Italy. Lip smacking food, and taste is simply heavenly. I celebrated my wife’s birthday, and we got a customised desert with a candle as well! Prior booking recommended, as we booked 3 weeks in advance.

I was at GRANO with my family last night, and from the moment we arrived, the service was wonderful 💚🤍❤️ All the pastas are incredibly tasty. This is the dish I had (Balanzoni), which has mortadella and pistachios, a delicious combination. The staff was all very friendly, and Luna, with her smile and attentiveness, made our experience even more enjoyable. Thank you! We definitely will be back 🙂

We had lunch at Grano this afternoon and the food was delicious! Fresh made pasta, who could ask for better? Quiet space and friendly staff. PS- couldn’t resist to try to suppli cacio e pepe before taking the picture!

I love Italian food (who doesn't) so the 3 month wait for this reservation has a lot of hype to live up to but it absolutely did. Its the closest thing to a meal that tastes like you're in Italy I have ever had in Ireland! They roll the pasta out freshly in front of your eyes and for the quality the price was very reasonable too which i think makes it! The Tiramisu is a MUST!

Wow this place was 10/10. The food was all incredible- just as good as a restaurant in Italy in my opinion. Everything tasted really fresh. The waiter was really friendly and helped me pick some wine based on what I was feeling. This place needs more reviews- it was amazing.

Went to Grano with my non-conforming, non binary, gender neutral, asexual partner for our anniversary and to celebrate our recent adoption. We've heard great things about Grano and their food, loyal customers, and friendly staff. Unfortunately, our experience was horrendous and appalling. As we walked in, we were greeted by our server he seems to be a masculine presenting individual and I've gathered that he uses he/him pronouns during our consultation on what we'd like to order. As we were ordering, he kept referring my partner as she/her and ma'am. We repeatedly told him that my partner uses xe/xem pronouns and finds this constant misgendering highly offensive. He apologised with a crappy sorry and sob story on how he isn't educated enough and apologises for his ignorance. We decided we'd tell the manager of Grano after we finished our food but decided to leave it for now. Once we got served our food, he said "Here you go ma'am", whilst snickering to himself finding what he said funny. It was not, in fact it was dehumanising. I stood up and told him to back off and leave me and my partner alone. He seemed startled by this and walked away. The food was mediocre, definitely not michillan star by any means but it was okay. After we finished our food, we went up and asked for the manager. The manager seemed to be an older woman that looked like she ran the restaurant. She appeared to be in her 60s-70s and quite small. When we told her about our incident with one of her staff, she laughed in our face and said "what is she", (referring to my partner) "an animal? No she's a human and it's clear to see she's a woman her breasts are larger than pluto." What this older woman said appalled me and my partner.. just because my partner has female genitalia and was born female, does not mean xe is a female. Xe is a non-binary and non-gender conforming individual. After my partner defended xeself as xe should, the manager began to shout major homophobic slurs in front of the whole restaurant and told us to get out and in her words "you predators" my partner began to cry and ran out whilst I followed xem in a hurry. Once we got home we felt dehumanised, mortified and ridiculed against. Nobody should be put through this. We reported this case to the guards and they will be in touch. Nice try.

comfy little dining room, wonderful food and attentive service, highly recommend! Need to try the Suppli' Cacio e Pepe!

Amazing fresh pasta/Ltalian neighborhood restaurant Very small intimate space but well laid out Fresh pasta maker on site out front of a very lively 3 chief kitchen It was our first time and were from the States but the wait staff were incredible and made you feel like you were part of the faimly or had been a regular for years This is one of those one of a kind places you must not miss in Dublin

Surprised there aren't any reviews yet! We tried Grano back in July during the first week indoor dining reopened. It was phenomenal. It's a pretty small place (and it can get chilly when the door is left open), but it's pretty modern and cute inside, and the food was great. One of the more busy restaurants we visited, the service was nonetheless on top of it, and we left full and happy.

Excellent experience. Small room so booking recommended. We had two appetisers to share, both of which were pretty spicy but served with excellent toasted breads. My main was tagliatelle with a pork ragu and my companion had the gnocchi special both of which were pretty good. We had a bottle of the house red, Sensa Dubbio, which was very acceptable all the more so because it was a litre bottle which was just the right amount. Recommended.

I agree with another review, that I am so surprised there are not more reviews on this amazing restaurant. I am in town for a business and holiday trip and have been spending the larger majority of my time walking, eating and drinking. I have been craving good Italian food, as I have spent a few years living in Italy (currently in the US) and just wanting a accurate taste of Italy without the "good try" or "fusion" try. It was amazing. I walked up without a reservation for a party of 1 and was accommodated even though there was a party on the list after me. I greatly appreciated them making a table for me, because I saw the next 4 patrons after me who also didn't have a reservation, were not so lucky. The food was AMAZING. The wine was AMAZING. The service and attention were AMAZING. A MUST if you are looking for a great place to eat in Dublin. I am going to try my best to book and go back!
