At Grano, flavour leads the way. Our menus are shaped by fresh local produce and a passion for simple, honest Italian cooking.

Set within the historic Goods Shed in Ballarat, Grano draws on the building’s past as a place of movement, trade and connection. Once a hub for agricultural goods, it now becomes a place where those same ingredients are transformed into something to be shared and enjoyed.From morning coffee and Italian-style brunch, to dinner accompanied by evening cocktails. At Grano, every detail is designed to be enjoyed slowly.

Whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite, catching up with friends, or celebrating something special, Grano offers a welcoming space at the historic Good’s Shed in Ballarat, where good food, good drinks and great company naturally meet.

A Place to Gather Over Great Food AND Drink

Where seasonal ingredients, thoughtful cooking and relaxed hospitality come together

Here you’ll find a neighbourhood pasta bar with hand-made pasta, generous plates and a lively dining room inspired by the social spirit of Italy.

Grano; meaning grain, speaks to both Italian cooking and the heritage of the Goods Shed, where produce once moved through its doors. It also sits naturally alongside its sister venue, Wildseed, a continuation of the same story, from seed to grain, from origin to table.

Because the best meals are the ones enjoyed together.

Eat, drink and GATHER

ENJOY TOGETHER

Our menu celebrates the comfort and generosity of Italian cooking throughout the day.

At the centre of the kitchen is our hand-stretched pizzas and pasta; hand-made daily and served with a range of traditional sauces, made from the freshest local and seasonal ingredients. You’ll also find antipasti, shared plates, and dishes designed for the table rather than the individual.

With options for dairy free, gluten-friendly and vegan dietaries, we want to make sure all guests can enjoy the flavours of Grano.
