Tomato’s in the Caprese were Mealy and cut in thick oblong/non - uniform shapes. Ravioli was tepid and tasteless. Meatballs were dry. Not tender/succulent. Risotto was bland. Needed more salt and sharper more pungent cheese. Cannoli comes deconstructed. Also bland. Tiramisu was decent aside from the aggressive amount of raw cacao powder atop that triggered a choking/coughing reaction with each and every bite.

Grotto never disappoints. My wife’s birthday was the most recent occasion that led us there and the food was near perfect. Every aspect of the meal from start to finish was top notch. It’s just the right amount of everything you want or need in a restaurant.
