Outstanding pasta perfection in a quaint small space. Very limited seating so caution if you have a big group, but there’s also a few more seats at the bar (perfect for 1-2) and more outside if weather compatible. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Cosy space for casual, intimate, and more. Only wish was a bigger portion on my dish but still reasonable price and deliciously filling.

We came for dinner because there were great reviews for gluten-free pasta. The kids enjoyed their meals. The youngest and I got the American spaghetti with meatballs. I got gluten free noodles and the meatballs are gluten-free. The youngest loved his. Mine was crunchy. My daughter heard me crunching. I passed out a gluten-free noodle to each person in our party and they agreed the noodles were more than al’dente. I asked the lady with the beautiful Italian accent if they should be crunchy. She said no and offered to remake the dish. I was already feeling full, so I declined but I should have let her remake it!

We ordered bread and calamari for an appetizer. The bread was “busting” according to the 8 year old. The calamari was tender and in a tomato base that was good enough to drink! Their olive oil balsamic dip for the bread was amazing too.

My hubby ordered the risotto with the veal. The veal was huge, tender, and delicious. It came with a huge bone filled with marrow.

The middles got the dish that was like mac and cheese and added shrimp, and the other got the shrimp white wine dish. They loved their dishes!

Their house red wine was perfect and they had a blood orange drink, and a lemon drink for the kids. They were delicious as well. We also chose the sparkling water which was smooth and crisp.

The service was world class. We had a server who was so personable, and two other ladies who took great care of us! We will be back and I will make sure to request that my noodles be more done than al’dente.

I would imagine I was lucky to get a seat here as the food and service was excellent!! I enjoyed the atmosphere and taste of authenticity. Mushroom ravioli with tiramisu as my dessert. Authentic and robust flavors exactly what I was looking for.
My bartender/ waitress was very sweet and wholesome. I much appreciated her giving me the very small table against the wall. The place kinda felt like a hug

We’d always seen the takeout spot, but never knew there was a real restaurant hiding around the side! We finally tried it Saturday night, even though there was a waitlist, but got seated in like, five minutes. Food was good, nothing extra fancy. I had the linguine positano clam pasta, and my boyfriend got the spaghetti pomodoro. He loved it a lot- very rustic and homey but just wished they had a complementary bread basket for the extra sauce that was left on his plate.. My clam pasta was simple and yummy, very garlicky and tasted like the sea.. in a good way.
Service was quick, and it was packed the whole time. I’d go back, but they should totally add complementary bread baskets which I feel like we always get at Italian restaurants.

The atmosphere here is GREAT! However, if this place gets busy, the customer service and quality of food can not be quite A+ plus. I will visit here again and choose to come at an earlier time. The dishes all look great, but the flavor just didn’t do it. I think because it was extremely busy and food came out cold. The wait was extremely long. 2 orders of Fillet Mingon steak and both was too rear, although insited on well done, I get it it was extremely crowded both inside and outside. It definitely had the Italian vibes. We were a party of 6. The desert was good! Will be back before summer is over! Bill about $300.00

Wow – we lucked into an amazing dinner. Driving back to NYC from DC, I searched for an Italian restaurant near Baltimore and Grano Pasta Bar came up as a suggestion. It was a freezing night and the place was packed but we got seated within 15 minutes. Everything spelled amazing. We ordered salads and pastas which tasted even better! Amazing staff and it was run like clockwork. We will go out of our way to stop here every chance we get. Go! Especially if you love olive oil, garlic and seafood!

Great atmosphere; very authentic Italian experience; mussels and pasta and shrimp and tomato sauce pasta were both excellent. Perfect place for a date night. Intimate atmosphere. Food was fresh and hot.

On April 23rd, my family and I stumbled upon Grano Pasta Bar after a long search for a good place to eat. We were in town to surprise my nephew for his birthday and needed somewhere quick, with no long waits. Grano Pasta Bar fit the bill perfectly.

Parking wasn’t an issue; we lucked out and found a spot right in front of the restaurant. Inside, the ambiance was cozy with wine bottles lining the walls, creating a warm atmosphere. We were greeted warmly by Katie, who provided excellent service throughout our visit. Despite the restaurant having a few other groups, we felt well attended to.

The food was exceptional. My sister loved the lasagna, rating it a perfect 10 for its cheesiness. My niece, who’s picky, still enjoyed her spaghetti with meatballs and shrimp, giving it an 8 out of 10. My mom and nephew both ordered the penne vodka with chicken and couldn’t finish their plates—they rated it 10/10 for its creamy sauce. I tried the ravioli with mushroom, also a 10/10 for its flavors.

We started with calamari, which was cooked to perfection, leaving us impressed with every bite. Katie even took a picture of our family, capturing a perfect birthday moment for my nephew.

The atmosphere was lively and inviting, with great music adding to the experience. It was clear that Grano Pasta Bar values both food quality and customer experience. The prices were reasonable, and the wine selection, including a memorable Moscato, complemented the meal perfectly.

In conclusion, Grano Pasta Bar exceeded our expectations with delicious food, warm service, and a fantastic ambiance. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. Special thanks to Katie for making our visit memorable.

Carmen was an amazing server/bartender. Best customer service we have had in a long time. We drove over an hour from Frederick and it was worth every bit of the hype! We will definitely come back.
