Grana Cafe - Matawan

A nice restaurant with good food. We stopped by for dinner as a potential place to hold a baby shower. The food was good, and the packages were very fair. The manager owner were very pleasant to talk to. From other photos we've seen, this is a nice restaurant to book for a special event.

TLDR: Wrong order, extremely rude and unprofessional and charged us $70 for four paninis and a side with short, greasy fries.We had no issues with this place before, but this order experience was incredibly unprofessional and rude. My father had issues ordering, as the girl on the phone kept asking if we wanted spaghetti with our paninis. Despite my father saying no, multiple times, she added it as a “side” and we had to do the whole order again. Then, they had issues taking our car number, to which the girl had problems figuring out what the numbers were even after us going slow. We doubled checked the order with the girl, asked for four drinks, and then placed the order. The order came, wrong (they gave us a melanesa instead of the chicken panini) and they did not include drinks. When my mother called, they said she was in the wrong for “not checking the website, because you can only get a side of coke through Slice”. We asked for soda on the side, not as a combo. We didn’t even ask for a refund because they refused to listen to us. Never eating here again, four paninis with greasy old fries should NOT be $70.

Delicious food and excellent staff. I called Grana about hosting a repast luncheon there last minute and Carmen was so helpful in getting me the information I needed. Her and the team were so patient with us as we were figuring out things so last minute and during an emotional time. When we arrived the staff couldn’t have been more attentive. They were so accommodating and nice! The food was absolutely delicious and everyone loved everything! The focaccia here is out of this world. We will definitely be back!

Great wedding shower for my youngest daughter. Staff was very helpful and accomodating. Fantastic it was a BYOB. Lou was easy to work with and provided us with everything we needed including to go boxes for the leftover food. Good meal, terrific experience, and my guests were happy.

Penne vodka pizza awesome! BYOB! Jeannine best server! Always on point! A must if in the area. Friendly and accomodating staff. Will be back!
