We eat here regularly but have never taken advantage of the family style option on Sunday and it was AMAZING! The value was incredible and we will be back for more! The chef must have been on his fans tonight because it was the best it’s been in a year.

Absolutely Delicious food, super friendly Waitress, and the atmosphere was lovely. Long wait to be seated, $$$$$, and it was a long dinner (we were there for almost 3 hours).

Outstanding food, service, and staff! Had the opportunity to sit near the Chef’s area, and watched the Head Chef direct the evening’s operations. Truly masterful! Each course was exquisite!

We LOVE Sunday family style night! We drive 45 minutes just to come for it. Delicious food and wine. And great service! Thank you for being here, Granita Enoteca- and for making the food more accessible to the community on Sunday nights. It’s appreciated.

We had an amazing time for dinner. The ambiance is stylish with good vibes all around. They have a very extensive wine list. Wine by bottle or glass. They allow you to taste the wine prior to ordering. You can do a flight. Full bar with crafty, delicious cocktails. Indoor and outdoor seating. Street parking or garage adjacent to building. The menu rotates during the year. The "first plates" are smaller or you can make them entree size. In-house homemade pastas and desserts. We had the bolognese (entree size) and beef short ribs w an added side of whipped potatoes. My husband loved his pasta. The beef rib was perfectly cooked and accompanied by a parsnip puree and kale. They have a top of the line coffee/expresso machine. We had the pumpkin cheesecake. Just wow! When you think cheesecake you may think heavy and dense. This was anything but that. The cake was so light and creamy. Fresh flavors of a light pumpkin and gingerbread crust topped with toasted maple pumpkin seeds. I think you could order anything on the menu and walk away very satisfied. They have chef tastings and do family style on Sundays. I can not wait to go back!

We've wanted to go to Granita Enoteca for awhile after hearing about it from my niece. My partner's 77th birthday was just the right occasion to make a reservation. We received attentive service as soon as we walked through the door - not often the case with two women dining out! Amy, our server, was very patient about explaining everything and making sure our particular needs (like gluten-free food) were met. In fact, just now I finished my leftover dessert for which Amy thoughtfully provided a container - tastes just as good today! We felt truly special and well-served - thank you Amy and Granita Enoteca!
