Grano Kitchen

Born from pop-ups and passion, Grano Kitchen has carved out a space of its own in Bristol’s vibrant food scene. What started as a modest market stall by chef Julio Alberto Noriega Bellissimo is now a full-fledged Italian restaurant in Old Market, with a new pasta bar recently added in St Nick’s Market. Every dish here tells a story, one of tradition, community, and fresh pasta made daily with uncompromising care. Grano doesn’t chase trends; it champions flavour, simplicity, and the kind of soul-soothing cooking that sticks with you long after the last forkful. The menu shifts with the seasons but always centres around honest ingredients and classic Italian comfort. Whether it’s a rich ragù clinging to silky ribbons of tagliatelle or a vibrant vegetarian special that surprises you, there’s nothing fussy, just the warmth of a kitchen where everything is made by hand and served with pride. In a city full of food, Grano stands out by keeping things beautifully simple.
