My favorite dish has been lasagna for years, and Grano has now been named the best lasagna I have ever had.
The initial bread display is not only beautifully presented but also delicious, includes bread, pear and honey... We ordered seafood creme soup (forgot the name), lasagna, ravioli, tortolini, pizza, chocolate dessert, tiramisu, Moscato w sage and everything was delicious... First time for me but not for the rest of the family...
A lot of couples in the smaller tables, but 8 of us sat in the back area that is kind of sectioned off, I think it can maybe fit a party of 12 or more. They also have outside sitting
The waiter and waitress were perfectionist and on point, the chef/owner also came out to greet us, maybe because the place was busy but was overloaded and allowed him to come out of the kitchen.
I will definitely recommend this delicious food with extraordinary service to anyone ...
Great job chef and team
Hubby had a 12 hour day full of tests at City of Hope and I wanted to treat him to a special dinner. Hands down the best Italian food we’ve ever had! But it wasn’t just the food - it was the whole experience..our server Brynn was sweet and attentive, Fabrizio sat down with a map of Italy and showed us all the great spots to visit when we finally get there one day..the owner came to our table and toasted us..The pinot noir was amazing, the Italian beer was like butter.. so smooth. We started with calamari, yum! Then we chose handmade pasta with seafood and the chicken parmigiana. And let me just say the potato purée that came with it was ridiculously good! Where do they grow these magical potatoes??? Unlike any I’ve ever tasted. I’d go back just for those! The creme brûlée with real whipped cream and the chocolate dessert wine were simply divine and capped off a perfect evening! Highly recommend!
You would not think of finding an authentic Italian restaurant hidden in the Duarte Target Center, but let me tell you that this place is DELICIOUS!! The pizza is a thinner crust which I do enjoy because the cheese tastes fresh and so yummy with fresh basil on top, mmmm! Our party also ordered [vegan] gnocchi with marinara (arrabbiata style if you are brave) and also chicken Alfredo. The chicken Alfredo plate is generous for a "big eater." Chef Landi was so kind as to welcome me the first time I visited to pick up my "to go order." We have returned twice as I look for consistency in service and quality ...it is there!!

We took advantage of the prix fixe Valentine’s dinner last night. The food selection was not the usual fare you see at most places. It was upscale and perfectly presented and prepared. Four complete courses and started with a choice of two cocktails.Three choices for appetizers, three choices for first course, three choices for main course and two dessert options. I wish we had brought a third person so we could order EVERYTHING and share. My husband and I ordered different choices and each of us could have swapped and still have been just as happy. The portions were generous but with enough time to enjoy them without feeling rushed. The wine selection was fine and since the glass my husband requested was the last in a bottle and not full they comped it and brought a full glass of a similar variety at the same time. It was clear that business (including take out) was brisk, but the staff was gracious under pressure. It’s always been one of our favorite restaurants and last night they shone!
We ended up here after Ren Faire because the Spaghetti Factory was busy. Never again will I go anywhere else after Faire. In fact, we're going to have to find reasons to make the trek to Duarte so that we can come back. The food is that good. The Focaccia is amazing. Fresh flat bread, pears, fried cheese, fresh honey - divine. The Lasagna is fantastic. We also had half portions of the seafood and mushroom risottos - sooooo good! Fabrizio, the chef, is truly inspired, and I think it's family-run.
The most amazing Italian restaurant I have EVER been to. The chef came out to our table to make sure our food was delicious and his father was in from Italy providing amazing service. I truly felt like I was family! The food I cannot even try to describe because there are no words that can express the authenticity and flavors. I’m from Michigan and would consider moving to California just for this food!!!
This place has excellent and authentic food. I got the manicotti and the focaccia plate. Such a great place for a date night or fancy dinner. The owner is a very sweet man who obviously loves his restaurant and customers.
Huge room for size and at best, feel safe if you love places that buzz with energy and life. The place is usually crowded on weekends, so get there as early as possible. Food can take a little long at peak times but the service is always attentive, they also take good care of large groups and families with small children. Lots of choices for breakfast, I had french toast which was a gigantic portion and very tasty. Try vowel length marks on your way!
