• Italian • Long Beach
Booked 23 times today
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!

    The food and service was good. I had the Parpadelle pasta dish and it was delicious. Everyone was happy with their meals. It was quite busy and very loud so if you’re looking for a quiet dinner, this is not the place. But overall, we had a very nice time and will definitely return!

    Grotto never disappoints. I find the food great; something for everyone. Cocktail choices very acceptable and reasonable priced. The pizza is the best of the best. Total bill I find very moderate for what we had. We had a small pizza as an appetizer and a shrimp main course and a main course pasta and three alcoholic drinks and one soft drink. A little noisy but a wonderful dinner

    Not sure why Open Table has this restaurant at $$$$. This is a delicious Italian restaurant and the prices are very reasonable. The food is scrumptious and the portions are very large. The new owners are friendly and gracious. Jeff, the bartender, mixes great drinks. Definitely coming back soon!

    We have been visiting Mythos for many years and have never had a bad meal here. It continues to stand up to that standard. My favorite is the Branzino, always cooked to perfection.
