Grotta di Fuoco, which translates to Fire Cave, is an industrial, rustic space with subtle lighting, raw steel, reclaimed wood, and concrete finishes. Step inside, descend below street level, and enter our vision of a cave. As for the fire, our focal point is a wood burning oven right next to the bar. You can sit close enough to feel the warmth, hear the crackle, and smell the scent of food being cooked, all while being entranced by the open flame. While Long Beach is rocking during the summer with the beach, Boardwalk, events, and outdoor dining, winter is when Grotta heats up. Open year round, the off season is the perfect time for out of towners to come to the West End for an unforgettable meal. We hope to see you all soon!

My family and I visited this well-appointed restaurant for the first time to celebrate Thanksgiving. We all ordered the day's special meal, which included delicious turkey, sweet and white potatoes, stuffing (we wish we had more), and broccoli. We cleaned our plates and further indulged with an order of Tartufo for dessert and hubby with his birthday cheesecake slice, compliments of Tony and his staff. We think we've found our new Thanksgiving tradition at Viaggio Italian Chiphouse, but we plan to return before next Thanksgiving:-) Mangia bene!!

Grotto never disappoints. I find the food great; something for everyone. Cocktail choices very acceptable and reasonable priced. The pizza is the best of the best. Total bill I find very moderate for what we had. We had a small pizza as an appetizer and a shrimp main course and a main course pasta and three alcoholic drinks and one soft drink. A little noisy but a wonderful dinner
