“PLEASE NOTE: We’ve pushed hard to open our shutters as quickly as possible, so we’re still training staff, adjusting dishes and doing renovations, so bear with us! We’re definitely doing the ‘soft launch’ thing to begin with!”
Grano Pasta Bar can be found in the Glass Arcade, a foodie hotspot also home to the likes of Eat a Pitta, Chilli Daddy, Pieminister and the Olive Works.
In a previous social media post, the team explained: “Our new setup is FOUR stalls long, and we’re sandwiched between Matina Middle Eastern and Crafty Beans Cafe at St Nick’s Market.”

“Dinner service at Grano Kitchen is still going strong as usual. Get ready – we can’t wait to feed you!”
