About Us
Located on Main Street in the quaint town of Chester, CT, Grano Arso restaurant establishes its roots in the old Savings Bank built in 1902
Chef Joel Gargano's scratch kitchen focuses on local products with a modern yet familiar approach to traditional Italian cooking.
At the heart of Grano Arso, Chef Joel mills native New England grains in house to create an old-world approach to his pastas and breads.
