    We were a group of 3 people .The restaurant was dark and in the basement .The waitress came to take our order and the appetizer didn’t come till have an hour later .We ordered fried calamari that looked really sad .It came with ketchup !! Then the main course came half an hour after the appetizer . My husband got the salmon with vegetables .It was ok .I got chicken Parmesan and vegetables .I had to look with a magnifying glass to find the sad looking vegetables on my plate .My son ordered a pizza .The crust looked undone and taste was bland .He didn’t finish . Then after we were done we had to wait another 20 mins for the check to arrive which was handwritten 🤔They were charging $5.50 to use credit card 😵‍💫It took 3 tries after the card payment went through .The waiter was blaming it on bad internet service from bell .All in all we didn’t have a very good experience.I will not return ,nor will I recommend this restaurant

    Booked this for sentimental reasons but the food is not worth the pricing anymore - sorry but in these times you gotta be choosy about where you spend your dining dollars….

    I visited La Grotta on Main for the first time for Valentine’s Day and had an amazing experience!The service was impeccable, the food and portions were perfect, in particular the Chilean sea bass and grilled calamari were excellent. Sebastian took great care of us and made sure we both had a memorable evening. Hands down the best Italian restaurant in Markham, and the old school Italian decor and ambience will leave you longing for a trip to Italy.

    Another incredible meal and dining experience. This was probably my 6th visit and I am consistently impressed by the quality and authenticity of the Italian dishes prepared. Sebastian is so welcoming and has a great memory with little details that he remembers we like. My wife and I had a wonderful evening at La Grotta on Main and looking forward to our next visit.
