Grano

Rustic Italian plates get a new lease of life at Grano. Welcome to the kitchen dedicated to bringing proper Italian food to Old Market.

At Grano, there are no shortcuts. Great Italian food comes down to culinary mastery, resulting in hand-made ravioli, fluffy focaccia made daily and a carefully selected wine cellar that complements each and every dish. The restaurant itself is somehow reminiscent of a living room in a family home. Small and intimate, round tables are set in neat formation in a paired back, uncluttered space. It has all the characteristics of a hidden gem, which is exactly what it is.

At Grano, everything is meticulous, even the menu. Small and designed with care, there are as many mains as there are starters. Begin with delicate plates like roasted peppers with a garlic and anchovy dip, courgette pickles and garlic bread.

The mains celebrate pasta and are all served with Scarpetta. From luscious lasagne with lamb, pork and beef ragu to spinach and ricotta ravioli, gooey gnocchi in a pumpkin sauce and a simple fusilli with a tangy tomato sauce, Grano perfects simple dishes. And the result is simply astounding. Round off this authentic Italian experience with a homemade tiramisu or panna cotta and clink your glasses to a new discovery that you'll waste no time in coming back to.
