We had such a nice evening at Grano Arso. The space is absolutely stunning, both rooms, the main room and the side dining room. The bar room is so magical. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and the specials. They start off with the bread service, a nice brown bread with homemade butter. Nothing is better than real butter. We had a stuffed agnolotti pasta. It was so good. The bolognese was solid as well. The roasted carrots were awesome with the green crema. Definitely skip the scallops it was like swallowing a spoonful of salt. Lastly the grilled chicken with pasta underneath was moist but not memorable. the dessert was the star!!!! the chocolate Nutella cake with ice cream YUM. Since the menu is rotating, i would definitely return to try some new things. read more

Grano Arso - Italian Near Me - Chester, Connecticut

The positives first.. we all ordered the $39 specials which come with a first course of beet salad.. delicious or minestrone soup.. adequate, a main meal of chicken piccata or pasta in a tomato bacon sauce. The pasta dish was tastier than the chicken. My husband said the potatoes were very good but the chicken could have had more flavor. The highlights were the fabulous bread and the vanilla gelato. Somehow even though I was sure I had reserved our table it was not secured , but the woman I assume was the manager found us a spot. We told her we had a show and assumed she would pass that info to our waitress. We ended up getting nervous when a lot of time passed and we still had not received our entree. We mentioned we had a show to our waitress who replied,"you could've started with that! " in a very condescending tone. Obviously we had , but apparently the message had never been relayed to her. We did enjoy our meal but that reaction put a damper on our evening. read more

WOW!!!! Holy moly this place was amazing from start to finish. We made a last minute decision to try out Grano Arso Saturday and ordered the tasting menu (kind of a crazy decision financially when not celebrating anything but you only live once right?). Well, everything was fantastic especially the pastas. They really know what they're doing with their daily fresh (insanely light) pasta and sauce. We were literally scraping the bowl with our spoons to get the lasts bites of both the ravioli and tagliatelle - absolutely DELICIOUS. Outside of pastas everything else was flavorful and tasty; especially that braised short rib! Truly an unforgettable and incredibly crave-able meal + the service and drinks on top of it all made it even better. I've wanted to go for years since it's constantly all over popular foodie accounts and even then nothing prepared me for how delicious this meal was. I can honestly say in the 6 years that I've lived in CT some of these dishes were the best I've EVER had in the state and 1000% the best texture pasta I've experienced overall. Whether this be a random dinner decision or a place to celebrate something special book a reservation ASAP! You will not regret it!! read more

What a spot. This spot can be compared to nicer farm to table vibe. We've been dying to come to this spot and it was well worth the hype. All of the waitstaff were beyond kind. For a nicer spot it still was so warm and welcoming. The food was layered with fresh, well-thought out flavors that combined to make light and balanced bites. We could have ate their whipped ricotta with a spoon lol. All of their pasta is made in house and you can tell. Fresh with a perfect dough that still gives a little bite. We ended with a fresh citrus tart that managed to balance a delicate whipped cream with a finishing citrus punch. We were lucky enough to meet the owner/chef at the end and you instantly can tell why the whole place works so well. Dress code is business casual-we saw many people in jeans and a polo/nicer shirt to easy dresses and ties. All the range is fine. We look very forward to many visits here in the future. Lean into the seasonal menus. They won't disappoint! read more

So glad I got to visit this Crazies award winner! Service was impeccable and the food was certainly elevated. Interior somewhat dark and the tables are pretty close together, but it allows you to see what everyone else is eating. The pasta is fresh, the whipped yogurt with carrots were amazing, and I loved the crunch of the walnuts with the beet salad. I would definitely return to check out what else is on the menu. read more

For most people, if they love an Italian restaurant, they love it like a Taylor Swift album. Or Bruce Springsteen. Or Jay Z. Grano Arso is more like Radiohead. Steely Dan. Or Kendrick. The food is very good, but the reasons aren't quite as transparent. It's more about quality of ingredients. Doing things differently. Textures. And nuances. Although I had been to the related and dearly missed Gargano Market in Old Saybrook for pasta and pizza, this was my first visit to Grano Arso. I went with my wife and 12 year old son for my birthday dinner. The atmosphere is top tier. The restaurant is on the main drag in Chester Center, which is a top 10 CT cute town. The restaurant is gorgeous inside and out. The lighting and music set a cool tone. Service is friendly, enthusiastic and coordinated. There was one miss. My wife told them it was my birthday when she called to make the reservation. Ordinarily, I would expect a restaurant like Grano Arso to acknowledge that in some way, and I heard a server asking a different table if they were celebrating anything that night. Not a big deal, but a bit of a miss. Generally, our table thought the entrees were very good, and the salad and antipasti course was mixed. My wife and son each ordered the Misticanza Salad, which had mixed greens, shaved fennel, aged cheddar and a caramelized lemon vinaigrette. They each commented that it was good when each bite had some of each component, but it was too bitter when there was less cheese and vinaigrette. I tried it. The greens were high quality and obviously very fresh, but I get their point. They had a lot of greens left, and the vinaigrette wasn't very noticeable. My antipasti order was the Smoked Prosciutto, which came rolled into cylinders, planted vertically with crostini into a pool of Gorgonzola dressing and surrounded by a shaved fennel and apple salad. This plating was unexpected and original. I enjoyed each of the components. Although I like Gorgonzola dressing, I didn't really understand why there was so much of it and how it was chosen to complement the other ingredients. There was a lot of dressing left over when I finished the other ingredients. And I'm a bit of a condiment abuser. My son and I both loved our entrees, and my wife liked hers. I tried each. My primary order was the Cavatelli with braised pork, Ricotta Salata and Rosemary. The Cavatelli was noticeably fresh made and cooked perfectly. The pork reminded me of phenomenal carnitas. Shredded. Tender. It was really rich, and like an umami bomb. Everybody at the table loved it. My son ordered the Toasted Rye Tagliatelle, with Seacoast Mushroom ragu, and greens. I'm a big fan of Seacoast Mushrooms and I was glad that my son took a chance with a dish like this. We thought it was outsatnding. I admire the use of rye. Very original. My wife ordered the de-boned pan roasted half chicken, which came with fettuccine in a Parmesan cream sauce and broccoli rabe. The chicken seemed like it was very high quality, and it had a crispy and well salted exterior. The fettuccini had good texture. The sauce was mild. I could have used a bit more flavor there. I liked the greens. Overall, this was a 4.5 Star experience, which takes into account the strong atmosphere and service, and mostly very good food. I would definitely return to Grano Arso, although sometimes, I'm more of a Springsteen guy. read more

My fiancé and I had an incredible dining experience here, celebrating her birthday! The service here is always top notch - the servers are very well versed with the menu, particularly the new/rotating items, fully understanding the chef's specialties. We opted for the Trattoria menu (3 course meal) offered during the week. Taking the recommendation from our server, we both started with the mushroom bisque. It was a little outside of each of our comfort zones, as neither one of us are huge mushrooms fans, but it was exceptional - perfect thing to warm us up on a cold night. I opted for the Coq Au Vin (Red wine braised chicken) and it was delicious. I may have even enjoyed this more than Grano's typical chicken dish, which is one of my favorite chicken dishes I've ever gotten out. For dessert, we got the lemon ricotta filled crepes that were a delicious treat. When dessert was served, my fiancé got a candle on hers to celebrate her birthday with, as well as a little champagne toast. It's these little gestures (in addition to the incredible food) that keeps us constantly coming back to Grano Arso. read more

Grano Arso - Coq au Vin (Red wine braised chicken) - Italian Near Me - Chester, Connecticut

The food was very good. So much so that we went back a second time. That time though (the first was a walk in, the second time was booked) there was a pretentious young man at the host station. Although the restaurant was largely empty, they said we had to be seated in the back room, which might make a great room for private parties, but it misses the ambiance of the main dining area. We also were seated right by a stationing area where plates and silverware were being clattered every few minutes and staff were just stood there, which felt like we were being hovered over from behind, most uncomfortable. Both areas of the restaurant were sparsely seated. Some other reviews mention the odd vibe there, and I would go along with that. I did see the owner as we left, and he was very friendly with a nice welcoming smile. I feel perhaps he is being let down by some of his staff though. Imagine working so hard to provide a great culinary experience, and you have plebs officiating. There was another heavy set woman with long dark hair strutting around with a similar airs-and-graces demeanor to the young man. Not planning to return if I can help it. My husband loves the food so we shall see. As far as I am concerned, it's not just about the food. read more

Wow! I could not wait to write this review. I'll get right to to it. Get the Chilean Seabass. This was the best seafood dish I have ever had in a restaurant! The fish itself was an excellent generous portion and the sauce was amazing. Had a wonderful salad with a nice light lemon vinaigrette. Excellent bread, wonderful staff. It won't be long. I'll be back. read more

Had a wonderful dinner there last week. The Trattoria menu is a bargain. Totally delicious three course meal for $39.00. The portions are huge. The first course carrot salad was incredible . Our server was very friendly and helpful and checked on us a number of times. Cannot wait to return! read more

Overall, good experience. There were definitely pluses and minuses, so take a look at this review to see more. The food was very good. It had an extremely good taste and unique flavor. The pasta is all homemade, so it was outstanding. The bread is also outstanding. All of the meals going by looked really good and we didn't hear anyone say anything otherwise. Do; however, be prepared for small portion sizes. The ambience is unique. It's definitely minimalist upscale fancy. Very pretty. The prices are pretty high, but that is to be expected for an upscale restaurant like this. Be prepared to spend over $100 for two people if you each plan on getting your own meal and an appetizer for the table. The service was not good. We waited for our meal for almost an hour, and the wait staff is not always very friendly. Let me define this further... They were friendly until you asked them for anything, then they came across as if you were a nuisance and a burden to them. The more you order; however, the nicer they are because they know they are getting a bigger tip. They have a very specific way of doing things and a very specific way of ordering things, so be prepared to not ask for anything and just go with the flow of how they do things. Other people around us who came in after us were getting served before us and were leaving before we even got our meal. Overall, I would probably come back because the food was so good, but beware of prices and service. read more

Grano Arso is located in a little cute and quaint village in Chester. Alongside other restaurants and shops, it was hard to find street parking. There was a parking lot up the road and we ended up walking over to the restaurant. The inside of this Italian Eatery was very intimate with close seating. I originally came for the featured trattoria menu offered from Tuesday-Thursday but fell in love with the flavors of the seasonal menu. For an appetizer I tried the Peaches and it was phenomenal. Local farm sliced peaches with basil leaves, grape tomatoes, and candied walnuts on top of whipped ricotta. For dinner I had the cappellacci di mare. A lobster and shrimp stuffed pasta. I was expecting something different but it was still good. For dessert I tried the blueberry shortcake with an espresso martini. The service was excellent and our waitress was very attentive. Great first time experience. read more

What a treat to dine at Grano Arso. The detailed rotating menu, locally sourced ingredients, and thoughtfully curated cocktails. Enjoyed our dinner and can't wait to return. I did the prix fix menu and did not regret that. The pasta is all house made, bread house made, butter, you guessed it, in house. Beets appetizer is the best beets I have ever had, the acidity, hazelnuts, crunch from the cabbage, exquisite. The chef clearly is passionate about their craft. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

My husband and I celebrated our belated Valentine's Day dinner this past Friday and we really enjoyed our experience. The space itself is very beautiful and quite romantic but also makes for a wonderful spot with family or friends. For our meal we ordered a mix of different plates and everything was so delicious. We are obsessed with the prosciutto appetizer. All flavors of the dish work so beautifully together. Both pasta dishes were phenomenal but my personal favorite was the alla vodka. My chicken entree was amazing and my husband devoured his duck. For dessert we had the tiramisu which did not disappoint. The service was excellent and they even sat us early for our reservation which we did not expect. We cannot wait to come back! read more

Absolutely 10 stars plus! We opted for the chef's tasting menu. Wow. Thanks to our server (Cassie) the service was perfect. The Vault Room was gorgeous. Much better than the main dining room/bar area. The timing between plates was excellent - not rushed but not too long. Fabulous, creative team in the kitchen. Each plate was beautifully composed and presented. Standout dishes included Scallops with Polenta Fresca, Wagyu Bolegnese Tagliatelle and Lamb Loin and Confit Flank with Hazelnut Romesco. This was our second visit. We're definitely headed back! read more

Went here for our 31st wedding anniversary. My wife and I really enjoyed the food, service and ambiance. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This place had been on my radar for some time but couldn't make it work. I'm sad I waited so long. We came here before a show at the Goodspeed. It's a good place to go and they work with you on those who are going to the show to make sure you get out on time. Parking on the street was easy on the neighborhood. It's a fresh modern inside an older building. Service was professional and what you'd expect from a restaurant that wants to be among the best around. The drinks were unique and I really loved the modern flavors we got. The hibiscus margarita was excellent. As for dishes, they change their menu a bunch but each dish was terrific. The pasta was the way to go and they make it fresh. The agnolotti was terrific but I got a mushroom pasta that was vegetarian but was so filling that "meat lovers" would love this dish. Overall, we loved this place. Highly recommend!! read more

Grano Arso - Old Fashioned - Italian Near Me - Chester, Connecticut

We tried this place for our (dating) anniversary based on reviews. I hate to say we were underwhelmed but we were. The setting is beautiful and classy and the service was exceptional! The let down was the food. We were started with bread and butter made in house-- warm, nice texture. For my entree, I went with the lobster capelletti-- sigh. For $45 and getting only 8 capelletti, it was very overpriced. I estimated approx 1-2 oz at best of lobster meat-- for this price, there should have been lobster pieces scattered in the dish or a lobster tail on the side.... there wasn't even a veg or salad to accompany the dish. The sauce was nice and coated the pasta well. Hubs got the rigatoni bolognese-- he described as average with not much meat added in. Pasta texture was on point. Flavor was ok but nothing to write home about. Unfortunately we most likely wouldn't return. read more

Grano Arso is one of the best restaurants in CT. They care so much about quality of ingredients and cooking from scratch. Everything from bread to pastas is house made. The rye tagliatelle is truly special. The mushrooms combined with a hint of rye is so unexpected. The duck was seared perfectly and I loved the risotto. They also have fantastic cocktails and an espresso martini with fresh brewed to order espresso. Every time we are in Chester we have to stop at this spectacular restaurant. read more

What a wonderful place for scrumptious dinner. I love the layout and decor. The staff were extremely pleasant and attentive. The food was divine. I let my friend order and that was a wonderful move on my part. We started off with a hibiscus margarita which was perfectly balance. High recommend you try one. The homemade bread was nothing short of addictive. We decided to split a salad and two small plates of pasta so we had more variety We started with the Peaches salad which was early peaches and sun gold tomatoes, mixed with basil oil and herb vinegar severed upon the perfect amount whipped ricotta, with croutons and pistachios . To die for! We then shared the bucatini cacio e Pepe and the Coachella pomodoro. I believe I am now addicted. They make their own pasta which admittedly was my first time having homemade pasta but now I understand the difference. It was delicious and was soft but not at all mushy. The bucatini (thick spaghetti) was served with pecorino Romano and toasted black pepper both of which were balanced perfectly. Every bite was delicious. The spacatelli pomodoro was equally delicious. The tomato sauce was light and flavorful without being too strong and perfectly coupled with whatever herbs were used in there. We had dessert and there is a picture below, though the name escapes me. I have never like espresso of any kind but there was some in the dessert and I am going to repeat myself again and say whatever was paired in the dessert the espresso was actually pleasing to me. And as we walked through the restaurant to leave, literally every single person working there that we passed said thank you for coming and have a good night. 100% certainty I will be back to try more culinary treasures! read more

We heard Grano Arso was very good from some foodie friends so it was on our list. We were lucky to score a walk in table with a short wait on a Tuesday night. The main dining room is so nice, with high ceilings and just the right amount of ambient noise. We over ordered on purpose because we wanted to try a number of things but we did a good job eating almost everything - it was SO good! We started with the roasted eggplant and a half portion of cacio e pepe which were both delicious. Also, the bread that came with the meal was just the right amount of crusty and chewy! We split the toasted rye pasta with mushrooms which was so flavorful - I think we would have to get this again if we go back! And we had roasted pork which was so tender - prepared to perfection with these browned potatoes - gourmet tater tots! Everything was delicious. Unfortunately we did not have room for dessert but next time we will be more strategic about that! Also, everyone from the welcome staff to servers were very friendly and efficient. We will be back! read more

Unimpressed - despite the glowing reviews for Grano Arso the experience was really disappointing. We started with a pasta appetizer and then the short rib with potatoes gratin as well as pasta with clams. This may sound odd but the flatware they use in a restaurant dedicated to pasta is absurd. The handles are cylindrical and i repeatedly had to use two hands to spin the pasta onto the fork - has the staff dined at Grano? Style is nice but function first - The pasta with clams was billed as a white wine and garlic sauce with pesto but there was not a hint of wine or garlic and the 'pesto' was pureed spinach with the consistency of butternut squash - thick. The clams in their shells were the only ones present, rather than an accompaniment to those in a sauce and thus there were barely any at all. Really really disappointed. The short rib was dry and we didn't finish it. While clearing the appetizer our salt was taken away and not replaced and no one checked back on us despite attempts to get their attention until it was time to clear our plates. Not going back... read more

I made an online reservation for six, I needed to add a guest to increase the reservation to 7. This changes everything!! You have to email the owner, preselect your meals from an prefixed menu, give them a 50% deposit before you come and there will be a 22% gratuity. This was just all a bit more than I was willing to put upon my guests for a Saturday dinner out. I emailed the owner to let them know that I was so disappointed by all of this and found it very off-putting, just to increase my head count by one. I received a non-apologetic snarky email. I would have been much less offended if the email was kind and apologetic, but it was not! read more

Came here for dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday, drove about an hour to try it out. The downtown area of the town in which this restaurant is located is very cute. Had we planned better we would've left time to walk around for a little bit before dinner. Parking is mostly street parking but there is a small lot behind the restaurant maybe with 8-10 spots, tight but manageable. We were seated promptly on arrival at our reservation time. Service was very friendly and attentive and the restaurant itself was nice, clean, not too formal. The food was good, we enjoyed the drinks and starters- the Misticanza salad and the whipped ricotta. The fresh bread and butter were great and they happily refilled these when asked. Our pasta entrees were pretty good but I wouldn't say spectacular. Overall a nice experience and solid meal. If we lived closer I would definitely return but likely wouldn't travel that distance on the regular. read more

Friday night dinner during Chester's festive holiday first Friday! To begin, the owners were incredibly considerate and sent a message regarding parking challenges due to the event. Next, our party of four was seated on time (6pm) at a lovely table nicely spaced from other diners in the warm, welcoming (full!) dining room. The noise level was such that everyone could easily converse as well! Now, the food! Our server was fantastic and responded in detail to all of our inquiries (which were about most of the dishes!). She was spot on so each of us enjoyed our choices! We started with the recommended salad for the table-so light and a perfect starter! I chose the cod which was served in a chickpea stew with some fennel and pistachios-melt in your mouth-divine!! Perfect selection for a chilly night! The others in my party dined on pasta with mushrooms and spinach, ravioletti with autumn squash, and the chicken dish with pasta. All of the meals were delectable and the experience delightful! We look forward to returning! read more

We came here on a whim. An hour from home. I am not disappoint or regretful. We had a 5:15 reservation and were greeted immediately upon entering. As we sat at our table, Nicole came over and attended to us, asking if it was our first time, explaining the menu, etc. She was fantastic. So courteous and helpful! The dining room was quiet, well lit, and welcoming. I had the Grano Old Fashioned and wife had the 86 Pennies. Both drinks were perfectly prepared and tasty. The bourbon in mine was Four Rose and came in a bottle which I poured into my glass. Appetizers were the beet salad and the mussels. Scrumptious! Our entrees were the crab tortelli and the chicken a la Norma. Both were out of this world in different ways. We want to come back in the summer - I imagine a different vibe - to taste their summer menu. This place is fantastic. Great for a romantic dinner or a small group of friends. Don't pass this up.

We stopped here on a trip to Chester, and wow, I am so glad we did. This was quite possibly the best meal of my life. We got the chefs tasting, which was a little pricy, but we'll worth it. With roasted carrots, a kind of deconstructed bruschetta, butternut squash agnolotti, spicy spaghetti, duck and risotto, and a deconstructed cannoli for dessert, we left with full bellies and singing taste buds. Although the food was top notch, the place didn't have an overwhelming "high class" vibe- it was very nice, but nothing to make a casual dinner goer uncomfortable. Our server was beyond knowledgeable and friendly, and seemed to have a passion for the food she was serving. Overall, you need to make a trip here! read more

Came back here for my GF's birthday. We both got the tasting menu, and it was fantastic! The perfect amount of food, all of which was unique, tasty, and plated beautifully. The tasting menu also came with optional wine parings, but we opted to get our own cocktails instead I got the daiquiri #9 again and enjoyed it just as much as the first time I came here. I also realized it was pretty strong... They also gave us 2 complimentary flutes of champagne each, along with a dish of ice cream (with a candle in it) for my GF's BDay We were seated in a back part of the restaurant, which I did not even know existed the first time that I came! Apparently the restaurant is inside of an old bank, so this part of it was hidden to me when I came before. In this side of the restaurant I noticed that they had a "lounge" (AKA a giant rap around couch with some small nightstand-esk cocktail tables) where you could come in without a reservation and order their drinks & small bites to eat. I also saw that they keep their wine and spirits inside of the bank's old vault, and apparently you can rent that space out for parties as well Overall a great experience. My GF and I were both very pleased with our experience, and we were happy with our choice to come here for her BDay 9 read more

After CTVisit sent out a list of some of the best restaurants in the state, I decided that I was gonna go out this year and try them to see for myself. I hooked in a couple of friends who were into the challenge and so we set out to find out what the Crazies Awards were all about. First off, the Connecticut Restaurant Association does these Crazies Awards annually which they say, are CELEBRATING THE EXCEPTIONAL TALENTS OF CONNECTICUT'S HOSPITALITY COMMUNITY We we wanted to try the best from Mystic but couldn't get a table for six at a reasonable hour and since I wanted to try Grano Also since their opening and finally, after seeing that server Lamott received a Crazie Award for the top server in Connecticut, we had to come. Since we live on the other side of the state our made a date, a reservation and off we went. Our service was impeccable all the way from the owner checking on us to Lamott and the other servers who chipped in clearing the tables, bringing breads and butters (house made), filling our glasses and taking orders and requests. I posted pictures of some of the plates and added a description to each. Our group had a wonderful evening. We collectively give 4 starts as some of the dishes were a bit on the salty side. Otherwise, we enjoyed the ombience of the room, the service and the food. Plus we each were able to find parking in the lot behind the restaurant. Chester is a quaint and bustling hamlet. Check it out sometime. read more
