"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."

"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!"
