    You cannot go wrong having a lovely dinner at LaGrotta. I have been going for many years and the waitstaff are very attentive, cordial and their appearance is neat. The food has never disappointed and they have many choices with wonderful specials. Make sure you have reservations as it is a popular place to have dinner before a show, to celebrate a special day and take the family.

    Another outstanding experience at La Grotta! We were greeted & seated immediately upon arrival for our reservation. Roger was our server; he's served us before here & his attention to detail was top-notch this evening as well. He looked to accommodate our requests thoroughly and willingly. My wife selected one of the chef's specials, Lobster Tagliarini. She said it tasted as spectacularly as it looked! I had the Agnolotti Panna; the pasta was tender and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. We appreciated not feeling rushed to finish our date night early; a very relaxing dinner where we had an opportunity to talk & dine on fine food. We look forward to our next special experience here!

    Lovely setting and a very nice meal. We had the 3 course meal with wine and our party of 4 loved it. Calamari to sautéed veal to tiramisu and coconut cake - everything was delicious and our waiter - Enzo- was fabulous.

    Jeremy was a great server. We were celebrating our daughter's 21st birthday. The food was great, and he was able to suggest wines that went accompanied our meals well. Thanks, again.

    One of us had a seafood crepe and the other had veal medallions. The flavors were rich and wonderful. We highly recommend La Grotta.
