After several delays, Grana, the Italian restaurant from the White Bull founder chef Pat Pascarella, is slated to open within the next month, and a first look at the menu (see below) shows pizza, pasta, meatball flights, and wood-fired entrees.

With a prominent location in Piedmont Heights across from Grindhouse Burgers (1835 Piedmont Avenue), Grana will be led by executive sous chef Elliot Cusher (formerly of No. 246 and Indaco), general manager Chris Dean (previously of Murphy’s and Ecco), plus sous chefs from Empire State South and the Optimist.
