    The interior takes you to a place that feels like a bistro in Milan or Lake Como. Intimate yet so classy.

    We had a great first experience at La Grotta, we chose the 4 course option and enjoyed every part of the experience. Our top favorites were the pheasant ravioli with butter sage sauce and and dessert, but every course was great!

    Food, drinks, and service are very good, but there are just too many tables. The tables are so close together that it feels like you're dining with the on the people on the table next to you, it feels very claustrophobic.

    This is tops in my book! We had the octopus carpaccio appetizer which melted in our mouths with wonderful flavors. I had the seafood pasta…so delicious. The cocktails and wine were most excellent. Their tiramisu is the BEST. The service…impeccable. Everything makes for a perfect outing.
