Granito's

Daniel Seifried put himself through college by cooking. He started out washing dishes and eventually moved up to waiting tables, running the kitchen and then ultimately, running the restaurant.
He was a guest chef at Granito’s on a few occasions, and then purchased it late last summer. “I’m very talented at cooking and I love doing it, but I’m a businessman.” Very much a business man indeed, Granito’s is starting construction on their second location in Folsom. While the Granite Bay restaurant is nostalgic, the Folsom location is going to have a newer, more modern Tuscan look. “It’s not that we want to get away from the nostalgic look, it’s a difficult design to recreate and it’s really key for us to design something that is going to be current 20 years from now.”
Unique to the Granite Bay Granito’s is the forward kitchen. Yes, the kitchen is literally in the restaurant. “You’re able to see all the guests. The chefs interact with people, which makes for a very interesting dining experience,” says Seifried.
