Serving the finest in Northern & Regional Italian Cuisine, La Grotta offers old world charm and friendly, first class service and is located in the heart of Buckhead. A local favorite since 1978, La Grotta has received Best of Atlanta Award from Atlanta magazine since the mid 1980’s, prestigious DiRONA and AAA Four Diamond Awards since the early 90's.


La Grotta is tucked away in the heart of the Buckhead residential district and overlooks the lush gardens of the condo courtyard in which it is located. La Grotta literally means "the cave" in Italian and was named such for its cavernous and warm setting. The La Grotta staff is also well known and regarded for its vast knowledge of its customers, the food, diverse knowledge of languages (our staff speaks Italian, Spanish, French & German) and attention to detail. The menu specializes in Northern Italian cuisine with seasonal changes to reflect freshness of ingredients with a focus on locally grown produce.

    I felt like I was on a cruise ship. And I can't get past how strange it is that this is in the basement of a run-down retirement building. The food was great. Everything else, though, could use improvement. Yes, I understand this is an Atlanta landmark and has been around for a long time. The service was just okay. The atmosphere and decor were very dated and unattractive. Perhaps the patio would have been charming? On the other hand, if you're looking for a very quiet place to dine, this is the place.

    Except for valet (upon arrival, he just looked at us, zero greeting or communication...), our experience was excellent all around. Caviar service, veal mousse, carpaccio, gnocchi, lobster pasta, clam pasta, and halibut. Clam pasta was just okay. Everything else was perfect. Thank you, La Grotta.

    We tried this place on a Saturday. The building looks like a very old hotel. You enter the building and take an elevator to get the dining area that resembles an old hotel banquet room. They have a variety of items to choose from on their menu but not an overwhelming amount which is great. We ordered the Ravioli and Gnocchi. The Ravioli had great flavor! However, it initially came out somewhat cold. They took it back and reheated it. The dish was somewhat small. Definitely wish the portion was larger. The Gnocchi was also good. The servers and staff were very polite and helpful.

    Have been dining at La Grotta for over 30 years. It continues to be amazing. Better than any of the best NY Italian restaurants. My wife is Italian and from NY and would agree. Juliano is the best as a waiter and has been at LA Grotta for 36 years.

    La Grotta is always a wonderful experience. The service is always the absolute best. I loved the mocktail they made me and my husband could not stop talking about the espresso martini. The caprese salad was perfect, the clams we loved the surprise of the curry sauce. The ravioloni was stunning and my husband loved the beef cheek gnocchi. My husband said the best part of his meal was the tiramisu which he never says dessert! The chocolate torte was wonderful as well. The restaurant just never disappoints. We love it here and of course will be back
