About Don Grano
Don Grano is a wood-fired pizza restaurant in Braga Centro run by the owner-chef who works the dining room between kitchen shifts. The space is small, decorated with care, and quiet enough that you'll hear conversation—not a shouting match. They do pasta and starters too, but the pizzas are the point: wood-fired, properly made, €15–20 a plate. Staff are attentive without hovering. Reviewers mention the provolone starter as a standout, lasagne that justifies a return trip, and desserts that don't disappoint. The wine list exists and people notice it. Parking's easy. Weekends fill up, so book ahead if you're coming with a group.
