Italian restaurant Grana, which opened in Piedmont Heights at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, is expanding with a second location outside the perimeter.

Opening by the end of the year at 1210 Ashford Crossing in the Ashford Lane development in Dunwoody, the restaurant will have a wood-fired pizza oven, about 175 seats, an outdoor patio and more extensive wine list and cocktail program than its predecessor.

The food will be similar, but with some variations. Favorites, like the meatball flight, will remain on the Dunwoody menu.
