We love to see old buildings transformed into something new. It’s nice to see something being repurposed instead of getting torn down, and sometimes the new businesses will keep little touches to remind you of the building’s former life. One spot in Connecticut that has been transformed over the years is the old Savings Bank in Chester. It’s now Grano Arso, an upscale Italian eatery that has exquisitely delectable food in a building that was once a humble small town bank.
The Savings Bank in Chester was built in 1902. The building that once housed the deposits of the small town’s citizens now is home to Grano Arso.

Grano Arso opened up in late 2017. The building has lived many lives, serving as a bank, an office space, and another restaurant in the early 2010s.
Grano Arso The restaurant’s name means “burnt grain” in Italian.
The menu is quite small, with a focus on quality. You’ll find that the food is locally-sourced whenever possible.
Grano Arso
The produce, meat, and even the grains come from nearby farmers in the surrounding New England area.
Grano Arso The restaurant mills its own flour in-house: how many places can say that?
The fusion of flavors here is an absolute delight, and you can really taste the difference in quality as opposed to places that have ingredients shipped in from across the country.
