    My veal dish with fettucini alfredo would have been excellent if the pasta had not been cold. The veal and spinach were both hot so I don’t know what happened with the pasta.

    The lunch special was delicious with the Grotto salad, the Chicken Grotto, and chocolate cake. As always, our server Fernando did an outstanding job.
