I was very excited to eat here based on the reviews that I read on Google but the restaurant didn't live up to my expectations. My friend ordered a steak medium rare and it came out well done. I ordered a Margherita pizza and the dough wasn't very crispy like a flatbread pizza would've been, it was soft and almost not fully cooked through. The cheese used was not the right type of cheese either. The service was ok, he took our order incorrectly but rectified it when we brought it to his attention, however he was a bit defensive about it. My other friend ordered an old fashioned cocktail and it came out with club soda and ice chips instead of 1 solid piece of ice like it was supposed to. All in all, it was just an ok dinner. Nothing great about it. I probably won't come again.

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.
