Grano

The food and service are beyond fantastic. Staff is courteous and wears masks properly. Drinks were delicious and came out quickly - same with food. And the food… you will not leave here hungry! You’ll probably have left overs! Which is awesome because then you get to experience how delicious it is all over again. We ordered the braciole and the pork chops… forgot to take pictures, but both dishes were the size of babies. We’ll be coming back!

Had a wonderful meal at grano's during Schenectady restaurant week. Our server Jasmine was friendly, personable and did a superb job helping with the menu,etc. The food came out tasty, hot and well spaced time wise. We had the 4 course special- as someone who is Italian American and has been to Italy,the food was VERY well prepared tasty and plentiful. The desserts looked great,but who had room!!! Will definitely be returning,with or without a special.

After much deliberation between restaurants in Schenectady for restaurant week we decided on Grano as we had never been before. It was excellent from the moment we walked in the door. The servers and I believe it was the manager or owner were all very professional. We tried the 4 course meal for $30 and everything that we had was delicious! There are so many things to choose from we will definitely go back

My wife and I have had great meals here and the chief has been able to cook special gluten-free dishes for me. This latest time it was haddock in a butter sauce and cooked sliced tomatoes. We especially love the sautéed vegetables as a side dish which we special order each time we go there. Staff was very friendly and interactive. Wait time was a little long this last time, but they were packed.

I’m Donna Bird, Broker/owner of Bird Realty in Glenville. Every year at Christmas time we gift our agents and their spouses with a formal dinner to say thank you for their dedication to their career and to our brokerage. We have gone to Grano for the past 4 years. Last year because of all the Covid restrictions we were unable to do that, however, we planned an evening once again last night. The food and the service is outstanding. We are always treated like family around the table with delicious homemade entrees that everyone loves! If you haven’t experienced this wonderful restaurant you are missing a big part of life! Thank you Grano once again for a great evening! Donna and Tom Bird - Bird Realty

What a wonderful place. Grano has a four-course meal for $25 and is more than worth it. The food is delicious, the wait staff is friendly and attentive, the environment is cool, and did I mention that the food was delicious? Because it really needs to be mentioned again. Tonight I started with the mussels as my appetizer in a delicious garlic cream sauce. Then I moved on to the tomato bisque which was a tiny bit chunky and all the right ways. For my pasta dish I had the rigatoni with spinach and portobello mushrooms and a garlic cream sauce, and it really blew me away. One of the best pasta dishes I've had in a long time in fact. My main course was a chicken alfredo which was a deliciously breaded, perfectly cooked, chicken breast, with artichokes in Alfredo sauce. Wonderful! Finally for dessert I had a pretty darn yummy cannoli. Love this place. Keep up the good work!

Horrible and inedible food. I ordered the only vegetarian option they apparently serve. Whoever cooked it completely ruined it, which is startling since it's just so simple to prepare. Here's how you make the dish--saute in extra virgin olive oil, some chopped red onion, some kalamata olives, maybe brocolli or asparagus or both, some sliced red bell peppers, possibly a few artichoke hearts. After about 5 minutes, chop up some fresh tomatoes and add with 2-3 minced garlic cloves and maybe throw in a handful of baby spinach. Let it all marinate for about a minute, and then pour a 1/4 to a 1/2 cup of vegetable broth. Pour over whatever pasta you want and sprinkle with some freshly grated cheese. The version they served was disgusting. The pasta, which the waiter kept saying was handmade, was a sticky mess. The 'sauce' tasted like old dishwater, and the minuscule amount of vegetable were way overcooked. The chef(s) should be ashamed of themselves. I completely understand why Apperitivo (the previous restaurant housed in this space) was shut down by the health inspector, and whoever owns Grano seems to have just changed the name and is still serving the same nasty food that they are charging an arm and a leg for. I ate three bites. I brought a visitor from out of town to this place. If I had been with friends, I would have sent my dish back. The visitor told me she got sick. How embarrassing! Never again will I take anyone to this restaurant!

Great upscale spot. I visited along with family for a birthday celebration with a large crowd of 16 on a Sunday around 5pm. There was only one waitress keeping up with everyone. Waited about 15 minutes for a milk stout. The calamari wS great but it had more onions than calamari in my opinion. I ended up ordering the grilled red snapper which had a great presentation however was like chewing on rubber. The potatoes served with the snapper were perfect. Overall the restaurant was clean and updated.
