About Grana

Grana is Brunswick East's sharpest answer to an unhurried afternoon—a relaxed enoteca centered on a big shared table where drinking and grazing blend effortlessly. Wine drinkers head straight for the fridge of rare regional bottles—spanning deep-cut Jura pours to Piemonte nebbiolo—or lean on knowledgeable staff for rotating glasses of mondeuse without an ounce of pretension. Substantial snacks back up the cellar: warm Bagna Cauda whip, crisp potato röstis crowned with trout roe, rich venison ragu, and wood-fired pizzas pulled from sister kitchen Figlia next door. At the counter, bartender-stirred Lake Como gin negronis land beside artisanal cheeses and bowls of salted chestnut tiramisu.

  • Curated Regional Wine List: Rare bottles and rotating glasses spanning Jura to Piemonte, backed by staff who guide guests through unique varietals like mondeuse and nebbiolo.
  • Substantial Wine-Bar Fare: Comforting plates like Bagna Cauda whip, potato röstis with trout roe, venison ragu, and fresh pizzas shared from sister kitchen Figlia next door.
  • Communal Tasting Table: A spacious shared table anchors the tasting room, inviting relaxed communal grazing or focused one-on-one drinks without stuffiness.
  • Hybrid Cellar & Deli: A well-stocked fridge and deli counter loaded with specialty bottles, cold cuts, and cheeses available to enjoy on-site or take home.

    Shared kitchen connectivity with neighboring sister venue Figlia allows patrons to pair full pizzas alongside Grana's dedicated charcuterie and cheese offerings.

  • Flexible Communal Table Seating

    The tasting room's expansive shared table accommodates social interaction or private conversation depending on guests' preference.

    I enjoy sitting around a large table leaving it optional to either engage with others or just to close off and be with your partner and friends.
