Crispy Brussels for appetizer excellent! Caesar salad WITH anchovies excellent! You might say, how can we praise a Caesar salad? It was perfect, just the way a Caesar salad should be AND the anchovies really completed the dish. Cod and Osso buco delicious. Yve was the server and was very friendly and helpful. Don’t forget to have the focaccia. All around great meal!

We have been coming here for the past couple years now. Food has always been phenomenal, the service has been excellent, and the restaurant is just overall our favorite by far. Our waitress the past 3 times has been Zoey and she is a wonderful host. Checks in on us routinely and a great representation of this restaurant. We plan on coming back for years to come. Thank you for the outstanding service and hospitality.

Amazing experience! We were just visiting Keene NH this weekend for a show that was in town. We happened to get a reservation last night and everything was PHENOMENAL— so good, in fact, that despite the preponderance of cute restaurants in town we decided to go back tonight as well :) A don’t-miss experience!

It was our first time eating here, but will not be the last. The service was great, the food delicious, and there was a nice ambience. We happened to be going on a Sunday, and the family style dinner was so much fun. What a great opportunity to try a number of different dishes. In the future, we want to come for one of their monthly wine dinners. So much to look forward to.

Wonderfully peaceful, a quiet humm of conversation and clinking of tableware. Service was excellent, no rushing, just relaxing. Food was phenomenal. Pork loin juicy and flavorful. Scallops to die for. Bluefin tuna appetizer was extraordinary. Drinks artfully creative. Old fashion was silky smooth.

I travel quite a bit for business and eat at lots of great restaurants. I'm always amazed when I finally get a chance to just eat in my backyard at Granita Enoteca. The food and drinks are always amazing and the help is great. We shared the meatball appetizer and the scallops last night. The meatballs were great, but the scallops were as good as I've ever had anywhere. The bartender makes incredible cocktails and our waitress was great. I'm planning on eating there again every chance I get. The best restaurant (no doubt about it) in Keene.

We were greeted with two glasses of champagne for our anniversary! The mussels were to die for! Our waiter Joe personally checked the ingredients of everything I ordered to be certain it was celiac safe. My partner swears it was the best Moscow mule he has ever had. Our server Joe was a delight! Living with an allergy it was fabulous to feel safe while dining out. Request Joe next time you are in.

Excellent experience throughout. They read the special instructions which was appreciated. The ability to order half portions allowed us to get appetizers, primi and dessert, which is always nice. The insalata and the olives were very good to start, while the ragu and the gnoccchi were delicious. The waiter was attentive without being too much. A great experience!
