    It was an amazing experience. The service was excellent. The staff were attentive .  the food was outstanding. The general manager visited our table welcome us to the restaurant, and as we left, took us on a special tour to addition to the restaurant . The creamery next-door where ice-cream is home made. Many flavors to choose from if you have the opportunity to go you must go. It’s a place where you can dress up or dress down and still enjoy the ambience.

    The crispy artichoke stole the show. 10/10, recommend getting them. And thankfully the waitress recommended to add crispy chicken to the spicy gemelli - was the perfect addition!

    We always enjoy dining at Grotto. The business lunch with the Grotto salad, chicken Grotto, and wedding cake are always delicious. We always enjoy seeing the manager who does an exceptional job of welcoming customers and is always personable and nice. Our server did an outstanding job of providing exceptional customer service. We look forward to dining at Grotto again soon.
