    We had an incredible dining experience at Grotto! Our table had multiple food allergies, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Chef Germany personally came to our table to quadruple-check everything, which truly put us at ease. His attention to detail and care were outstanding. Our server was also extremely kind and attentive, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Having worked in the service industry for years, my husband and I were thoroughly impressed by the professionalism and care shown by the entire team. On top of that, the food was phenomenal! The peach Bellini was perfection, the margarita pizzas were delicious, and the bread was the cherry on top of an already fantastic meal. If you're looking for a place that genuinely cares about their guests and serves amazing food, Grotto is it. Highly recommend!

    Had the burrata salad and spicy gemelli, really delicious! They had great service, lighting& ambience. I feel a lot of restaurants don’t have the right lighting which can be very off putting. Will be coming back!

    We always enjoy this restaurant. We brought our granddaughter who also loved it . My husband and I shared the octopus appetizer which was one of the best of this we have ever had. Then we had the pasta with clam which was outstanding. Our granddaughter had a Caesar salad and the truffle pasta made table side which she loved. She had the pistachio tiramisu which she loved as well. Service was excellent.

    We went on Christmas Eve, and the place was a raucous cacophony of family. The waitstaff was in the weeds all night, and if you were in a hurry, you were going to be disappointed. I highly recommend it. The food was excellent, the service outstanding, and the crowd was appropriately festive for the happy celebration that is Christmas.
