    As usual, LaGrotta did not disappoint. Service was excellent, the Snapper special was especially delicious. Calamari and salads just right.

    Jeremy took care of us. We're extremely accommodating when w asked to add 1 to our party. Server was very knowledgeable and helpful in pointing us in recommendations. Service was excellent. Very attentive. Ordered the 4 course option. All of the items were presented beautifully, food was flavorful, each dish ordered was unique. Serving sizes were generous and more than satisfying.

    Jeremy was our server on Thursday and Friday evenings. Wonderful service. We were also politely accommodated on Thursday evening without a reservation with only 15 minutes to closing. Absolutely great.

    This was our first experience at La Grotta and we will definitely return. The service was top notch. The food- spectacular (we had quail and the gnocchi dishes). The wine- delicious. What a fantastic experience all around!!

    We love La Grotta and although all of the servers are great we love Enzo. The food is always fresh, full of flavor, and the specials are always so creative. It's definitely elevated authentic Italian food for an upscale dining experience.
