    Excellent service, food selections and taste! It’s not the least expensive Italian restaurant, but the quality of the atmosphere, service and food is well worth the little more you pay.

    We have been wanting to try here for a few years and finally decided to. It was absolutely amazing. The food and service was phenomenal. That was some of the best italian food I've had. Also I am a very sensitive Celiac and their knowledge on gluten free and the amount of options was top notch!!! We will definitely be going back.

    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.
