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!

    Took a friend for a mid week birthday dinner. We shared pizza and a pasta. Both were excellent. The pizza had figs, smoked mozzarella, and was cooked in a brick oven. The dough was delicious, more on the softer side. Our pasta was homemade with 5 large shrimp and a lemon sauce, delicious. Highly recommended!

    Amazing ambiance. Have not been here in a long time, the patio is incredible. Shared fried calamari that was very good and shared reality is an eggplant parmesan that was also good and the portion was large enough that we each took some home. The eggplant was served with a side of spaghetti. A lot of food for the money. I will be back and will recommend.
