Grano Pasta Bar Coming to Federal Hill
Federal Hill will be getting its second new restaurant that was previously featured on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (DDD) as Grano Pasta Bar is opening a second location at 1043 S. Charles St. at the former home of Gyro Express. The show also featured recently-opened Blue Moon Café at its original Fells Point location.
A new sign on 1043 S. Charles St. reads, “Coming Soon: Grano Pasta Bar, a plate of pasta on every table.”
Chef and co-owner Gino Troia’s Grano Pasta Bar is a casual, open kitchen-style pasta restaurant where diners select the sauce and pasta of their choosing. Grano’s second location is on the Avenue in Hampden and the owners also own the more formal Grano Emporio in Hampden.
