Gran Sasso Restaurant

I just discovered this restaurant tonight! I went to dinner with a friend who highly recommended this place. The service was great. Very friendly. And the food was amazing! The pasta was so fresh and full of flavour! I can not wait to return! I will be telling everyone I know to try this place out! ????

1st time there last night with my daughter. Wonderful family run business. Great hospitality, homey atmosphere, wonderful food. A place I would certainly return too.

As someone who has worked in fine dining for almost my entire working life I have been thoroughly impressed by every visit to the restaurant. Upon entry I am warmly greeted by Patty one of the owners. The service is excellent. Most recently our server did a great job of telling us the various specials of the day, recommending a wine when asked, and checking on us periodically through the meal to provide water and clear dishes as necessary. She was friendly and efficient. The physical dining room is spotless, thematically decorated to reflect Italian culture and of course the mountain range from which it gets its name, and while the room filled up with people, it never felt cramped. Everything is very reasonably priced (comparable to the pricing of a local Kelsey’s but with 10X the quality) and the food is truly excellent. The wine list was smart, a well-matched pairing could be found for all dishes, and liqueurs/spirit options were of course very Italian in nature, as they should be. The plates are presented with a modern style which is mirrored in the food itself, but mixed with roots in old fashioned authentic Italian cooking. It generates an excellent balance between contemporary and old-fashioned class. At no point in the dining experience did we want for anything that was not promptly on its way and at the end of our meal after dessert we were not at any point rushed on our way. We felt through the whole experience that our table was being taken care of and our presence valued. I highly recommend Gran Sasso Ristorante to anyone who values outstanding food and a fine, yet unpretentious dining experience.

A wonderful pizza....one of the best I have had!! Caesar salad was usual but good.A small place & a bit congested but still a great atmosphere! Appreciated the owner checking that we were enjoying our dinner! Prices are a bit high for what I ate. Found it unusual that a bread basket was not part of an Italian meal. I understand why though, having read the answer to another comment. I would suggest telling people that the bread is not part of their meal, or perhaps putting it on the menu.

What a gem!! I’m embarrassed to say we live so close and somehow never discovered this wonderful place until now. The food is exceptional, the decor and atmosphere feels like en escape as soon as you walk in the door and the service is warm and friendly. It’s perfectly tiny and quaint like a family owned European eatery would be in Europe. So happy we found you.
