Very nice pizza even better pasta. I can tell their ingredients are very fresh. Garlic mushrooms were so yummy. The staff here work very hard as well, the waiters are always running around, I hope it isn't too stressful for them.
I was worried I wasn't going to be able to get a seat because it was packed outside but surprisingly upstairs seating was empty. Came here on a date it was good vibes also recommend getting takeaway here and eating it at the castle grounds. We paid £40 for all you see in the photo and a coke. Not too bad not expensive for what it is.- Meal type

Wow, a truly authentic Italian experience in the centre of Nottingham! The garlic mushrooms starter was absolutely amazing….delicious is an understatement! The bread and focaccia were both freshly prepared and melt-in-the-mouth soft and flavourful…a must-have option to start off your meal. Thank you Solo Grano for a wonderful meal 👌

Don’t review that often, but this place was unexpectedly great. The pizza and the focaccia is probably be the best I’ve had in Nottingham and I’ve eaten at lots various pizzerias around the city. Some of the best dough and crispy to baked crust ratio ever. Will definitely keep coming back now. Thank you guys!

Yummy pizza and focaccia! My only critique is that the pizzas were a bit floppy - but tasted great. The tables outside were a bit too small for 3 people. There isn’t a huge seating area inside either.

One of the waiters informed me that the chicken is slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines, which I appreciated. It made me curious: Is the restaurant owned by a Muslim? Just wondering, as it might explain the thoughtful attention to dietary preferences.- Meal type

We had our Christmas party here and it was superb! I had no idea there was seating upstairs, you can't tell from the front. The pasta was excellent, but it was the choco filled calzone pudding that was the show stopper! So glad we shared it between four of us as it was rich beyond belief!!

I’ve been wanting to check this place out and I finally got to! All i can say is I wish I had visited sooner! The service was amazing. Waiter let us choose where we wanted to sit, gave us enough time to choose. You pay before receiving the meals which I like as it allows you to eat at your own pace.
Food was super nice. You could tell everything from the pasta to the sauces were fresh. We had the Smoked Aubergine pasta (you can choose from 3 different types of pasta, I had tagliatelle), the BBQ Chicken Pizza and Garlic Bread. It was truly nice and I would 100% recommend and I will be visiting again!- Service

Amazing Italian food, extremely good pasta and pizza. Sadly sold out of Tiramisu. Eating solo I had to sit in the window which was a bit odd for an evening meal, but the food quality made up for it.

There weren’t any tables available when we dropped in, but they managed to seat us if we leave before a certain time. No problem for us. It took a while before we were able to place our order, but it was busy and the woman who seated us (who we believe is the owner) was going around table to table sorting everything. We placed our order and the food came quickly. The food is absolutely delicious here. Even our 6 year old daughter, who usually says “good” when we ask, said “the food is so good”. I would highly recommend. I would also recommend patience as the food is worth it.- Service
