I had never been to Grano before but went recently for lunch with friends. The restaurant is cute inside. It gives the feelin of an old world Italian trattoria, however it smelled like someone's basement. It took a while to adjust to the scent.
Service was on-point: very friendly and timely.
For my meal, I had the Insalta Mista. It was very good: a mesculin mix of greens, seasonal fruits and a light, tasty vinaigrette The portion size was ample, too.
As a main, I had a ravioli dish, that I don't see on the online menu. IT WAS AWFUL. It was a cheese ravioli in a cream sauce with nutmeg and walnuts (I think spinach too). It was flavourless but worst of all, I'm absolutely certain that the pasta was store-bought., like Olivieri. It was horrible and I was insulted that they would serve me, or any customer such gastronomic crap. Italian restaurants in Toronto are a dime a dozen so they really have to be good to stand out. Can't say that my meal compels me to return to Grano.
