    Excellent service by all the staff especially the waiter and the manager, EXCEPT for the hostess, she was an extremely rude person.

    The food is always delicious. My son tried the Gnocchi short rib Ragu and absolutely loved it. I can’t resist their frozen Bellini’s!

    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!

    The Tiramisu portion was way too small, it was the cake corner and not your usual size. Sad

    Excellent food, service and ambiance as always. The Christmas Decorations and Grinch Mobile was the proverbial icing on the cake.

    Very much enjoyed our dinner experience. Appetizers, meatballs and caprese with buffalo mozzarella, were nicely executed and delicious. The bread basket at the table was fresh, warm and excellent. The entrees were fantastic. Nicely presented, large portions and delicious. As good as any comparable or even more expensive restaurant. Loved my chicken parm. My wife’s salmon was perfectly cooked with 3 large grilled shrimp with a nice wood grill flavor, lots of spinach and roasted potatoes. Had a smaller piece of chocolate cake for my birthday dessert and it was moist and rich. Also had key lime pie. My son and I agreed that only Joe’s Stone Crab has better. Service was great and attentive, without being pushy. Atmosphere was comfortable and nice.
