Grano's Story

Grano was born in 2022 from the dream of Dario and Giovanna — a story that began in Italy in 2011, when they chose passion over convention. Dario devoted himself to mastering the art of pizza, while Giovanna, originally on a path in biology, discovered her love for pastry. In 2014, they took a leap together, a shared vision that would one day become Grano.

In February 2026, their story welcomed a new chapter. Luca and Michela joined the journey, bringing their deep passion for coffee and years of experience. Once the heart behind Organicafé — the very space Grano now calls home — they had spent three years in Cornwall running their own café before being drawn back to Cardiff by friendship, memories, and a feeling that never faded.

What began as two separate paths became one shared vision. Today, Grano is run by four friends — united by passion, craft, and the desire to create something meaningful together. Pizza, pastry, and coffee come together here in an experience that continues to grow and evolve.

Absolutely love this gem! The food is incredible. Every focaccia is delicious and my partner is borderline addicted to the Pancetta pizza. The staff are so warm and kind. The cafe has been thoughtfully decorated so the aesthetic is cozy and inviting. Birchgrove is lucky to have Grano on the high street to break up the block of late night snack options and takeaways. Oh, and I stand by the opinion their coffee is the best coffee in cardiff.

A superb range of authentic pizza, pinsa & filled focaccia all baked on the premises. Delicious looking salads and pastries all served up in a friendly Italian atmosphere.
