    We dined on Christmas Eve and it was fantastic! We’re visiting for the holidays and had not been before and are so glad we picked Grotto to dine at. The food was delicious. And the service was unbelievable. A very busy night and our waiter was perfect. Made sure we had everything we needed. Checked on us. We even met the manager who was awesome. Delicious food and great service. A perfect combo for any evening out!

    Run don't walk to this restaurant! Don't let the casual and unassuming ambiance fool you -this is a true delight! Great 3-course lunch menu for $29 with generous portions. Everything made from scratch daily including pizza, pasta and sorbet, and everyone in our picky family of 5 can't wait to go back. We had chicken poblano soup, margherita pizzas, pappardelle, and an assortment of sorbets. My 11-yr old self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur says it's the best pizza she's ever had. The owner/chef is there working hard in the kitchen and greeting customers in the dining room with the utmost hospitality. We also brought home a huge bottle of their delicious olive oil for only $27.
