Stanthorpe is already known for being a hub of great food and the restaurant option list just got longer last Thursday night.
Vino Granito Italian Restaurant opened to the public on 2 Wallangarra Road, owned by Raj and Shiv Charan.
The couple recently left the busy streets of Sydney for Stanthorpe, and Shiv said he has a background in the restaurant industry which inspired their new business venture.
“I’d been working for Italian companies for 11 and a half years,” he said.
“We had 35 people come on opening night and we’re hoping to raise more awareness about us – the town has a great Italian heritage.”
After buying the restaurant space attached to the Vines Motel in December 2021, the couple have spent the past four months preparing for its grand opening.
“It’s been a lot of work but we’re excited,” Raj said.
Vino Granito is open for breakfast from 7.00am and for dinner from 4.30pm.
