Toscana in Dublin

04/10/2026: Had a really first class dinner at Grano. The restaurant has a cosy atmosphere with plenty of charm comfortable, relaxed and the kind of place where you can happily settle in for the evening. It was so good we booked our next visit while paying the bill. We started with the octopus and the meatball starter. Both were excellent, but the meatballs stole the show . They were rich and comforting, with a great balance of sauce and seasoning. You could eat them all night! Or order a double portion for a great mains!! For mains, we chose the Spaghettoni alla Triglia e Finocchietto Selvatico (red mullet pasta) and the Fileja al Ragù Calabrese. The red mullet dish was beautiful with the fish and wild fennel working really well together. The Calabrese pasta was hearty and deeply flavourful, with a rich ragù that felt so authentic and satisfying without being heavy which left lots of room for dessert. And it was to sit and watch the pasta being made fresh in the restaurant The staff were warm, welcoming and genuinely knowledgeable about the food. the wine list is excellent, with plenty of choice. A second visit to Grano! Again didn’t disappoint. Booked a third visit as we finished up our evening! Can’t say I haven’t fallen in love with this place!!!!

04/10/2026: Lovely small Italian restaurant, everything feels very "home-mady" you can even see the staff making the pasta on the side before they cook it for you. The food is amazing, super tasty, the tiramisu probably the best I've had, ever. Will definitely go back!
