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!

We LOVE Beginnings! The vibe, the food , the friendly servers- even met the owner who is very nice & hands on. My husband loved the Bonton wings & salmon burger .My blackened swordfish dinner is full of flavor , love the guac salsa on top- I opted for it over Brussels sprouts instead of rice and it was delish! Beginnings never disappoints - so many other things on the menu also outrageous! A must if you haven’t been!
