Superrrrrr cute Italian restaurant / store. Very natural vibes. Felt like I was at my grandma’s house in Europe! I think 10/10 for vibes. The avo toast was not that good - wrong bread choice - and the salad was good but just a lot of vinegar. I think I ordered wrong, though. That is on me. Get one of their specialities. Sit and enjoy. They have a good happy hour, coffee, outdoor area, indoor area, it’s a lovely lovely spot.

Love this place! A gem, great place to hang out have a meal or drinks. The brick oven pizza is amazing and the tiramisu was to die for! They don’t charge extra for oat milk which is like so dope. Great bustling atmosphere and outdoor seating. Great music too. Will be back! Service is great, should out to the Latin hospitality. Note: they’re a little weird about reservations and where you sit.

Amazing happy hours place with pool table and dog friendly. The place has lots of rooms and space plus nice decoration. Server, bartender and manager look very happy working, giving good service, easy and friendly vibes. I got Passion fruit frozen margaritas, very delicious and refreshing. Late night happy hours give me more chance to enjoy drinking and talking with my friend. I will probably bring more friends next time.

Easy, relaxed spot for a casual lunch or a low‑key night out. We stopped in for sandwiches. There’s plenty of outdoor seating during the day, and by evening the whole place shifts into an open, lively bar.

We just happened to stumble upon this place while in the neighborhood. The vibe was good, and the food was decent. To be fair, we didn't order much because it was a midday snack.

Such a great place 🪴🌱 The garden and natural vibes make you feel you are out off the city 🏙️ They are dog friendly and even have a “dog food menu “ with appetizers & farmers food 🐾🐶 The happy hour is a very different from most of the places ( only at night time) The drinks were good 🍸🍹 We ordered guacamole, burrata, ceviche, tacos, soup & steak sandwic. But unfortunately the server forgot the soup 🍲 ( it was for my friend’s daughter) we had to asked for it, also we got steak tacos that we didn’t order and never get the steak sandwich that we order I guess the server made a mistake again! The main problem was he never came back to the table to check if everything was okay, so when we’re about to leave we had to look up for our server but we never found it 😓 I think his shift had already ended. Someone else brought the bill. I hope the service will be better next time.

Do not get matcha here 🙅🏼‍♀️ They do not make the matcha properly and it is so disgustingly sweet, I couldn’t even drink it. It is made from a package of powdered green tea mixed with sugar as the first ingredient. Soooo much sugar 🤮Service was rude and the guy working didn’t seem like he wanted to be there or help me.. this is specific to the coffee shop which is unfortunate because we have eaten dinner here before and service was superb and very helpful. I do appreciate that they don’t upcharge for oatmilk! 👏🏼 Our experience here for dinner was quite the opposite and we got all our questions answered and specifically enjoyed the gazpacho and vegan burger (we triple confirmed the burger sauce was made with vegan mayo). The Gran Torino bowl is pretty okay - I was surprised the components were cold and the chickpeas were raw. I was thinking it would be a warm bowl vibe, but still good.

This place has a huge space with a pool table and outdoor dining area. The food was alright but they’re probably more for bigger groups who are there to drink and hangout. We all liked the fig pizza the best out of all.

I went to Gran Torino to celebrate the birthday of a family friend who happened to be DJing that night. I had been there several times before and always enjoyed the atmosphere, but this time the experience was completely different. From the moment I arrived, there was a tense vibe. There was an older man apparently a manager or the owner who seemed visibly under the influence of alcohol. At one point, he approached the DJ and started yelling insults, saying the music “wasn’t good,” even though everyone around was clearly enjoying it. We were about 30 to 40 people, all eating, drinking, and supporting the place throughout the night. What made things worse was that they didn’t allow us to bring out the birthday cake we had brought, even though we were celebrating the DJ. This man spent the entire night sitting in a corner watching everything we did, which made the whole situation feel uncomfortable and overly controlled. We were only able to bring out the cake after he left. All of us consumed like regular customers I personally had dinner and several drinks yet we were made to feel as if they were doing us a favor. It was an unpleasant and unwelcoming experience, and I honestly don’t plan on returning. A place that offers a service should, at the very least, treat its customers with respect.

Misleading Signage and Dismissive Service – A Disappointing Experience I have been a loyal patron of Gran Torino for years, often recommending it to friends and family. However, my recent visit on Friday night has compelled me to reconsider my support. Around 10:45 PM, I was drawn in by a sign outside the restaurant promoting happy hour deals starting at 10 PM. Trusting this information, my party and I decided to dine in. Upon seating, I inquired about the happy hour specials, only to be told by our server that they commence at 11 PM. Confused, I mentioned the sign outside, but he insisted it was incorrect. To ensure I wasn’t mistaken, I stepped outside, confirmed the sign indeed stated a 10 PM start, and even took a photo as evidence. Presenting this to the server, he dismissed it, claiming the sign was outdated from winter and that the menu inside reflected the correct time. This explanation was not only unsatisfactory but also highlighted a lack of attention to detail and customer consideration. Seeking clarity, I was approached by a supervisor after the server consulted with others. When I expressed my concerns about the misleading signage and the importance of accurate information, I was met with a dismissive attitude. The supervisor attempted to downplay the issue, suggesting that since no other customers had complained, it wasn’t a significant problem. This response felt like an attempt to invalidate my concerns rather than address them constructively. By 11 PM, the official happy hour time per the menu, we chose to leave, feeling undervalued and disappointed. It’s disheartening to see a place I once held in high regard display such disregard for customer experience and feedback. I hope Gran Torino takes this feedback seriously and implements necessary changes to ensure future patrons are treated with the respect and transparency they deserve.
