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.

  • Figlia Sister-Kitchen Integration

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

    Menu here is also amazing itself and you can do pizzas from Figlia next door.

  • 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.

    Curated multi-course events and culinary takeovers bring guests together around alpine comfort dishes and paired regional pours.

Before you head over

Practical tips on seating, food options, and retail purchases.

  • Reserve a Seat at the Communal Table

    Communal seating can fill quickly during busy evenings; reserve ahead to secure your spot rather than relying on walk-in availability.

  • Order Sister-Venue Pizzas for a Full Meal

    If you are looking for a heavier meal beyond cured meats and cheeses, you can order freshly baked pizzas directly from adjacent sister restaurant Figlia.

  • Take Advantage of Retail and Corkage

    You can purchase bottles, cheeses, and small goods from the fridge to take home, or pay corkage to open retail wine bottles on-site.
