This was my first time at Grotto since moving to the neighborhood. The space, the food, the cocktails and the service were all impeccable. Our server Tony felt like an old friend. Couldn’t ask for a more personable, knowledgeable, attentive, and entertaining server. Thank you Tony! And thank you Grotto staff for a really fantastic holiday meal and experience with my family.

The Grotto is a local gem in North Syracuse. Unassuming on the outside it give old world charm on the inside. Primarily steak and Italian cuisine and some of the best cheesecake I've had in the area. One word of caution, it may not be the best place for a quite, romantic dinner and the echo in the rooms can get a bit loud once they are more than half full.

The server seemed to be on another planet, but everything else was great. Excellent food, great atmosphere, seated quickly. We had a toddler in the group, they had a high chair available. Comfortable noise level, good mixed drinks. Even with the snow, there was reasonable parking across the street.

We went to The Grotto for the first time and had such a great experience. They were completely booked by 5 on a Friday, but still managed to squeeze us in, which we really appreciated. The service was honestly some of the best we’ve ever had - at least five different staff members checked in on us throughout the night. The holiday decor made the whole place feel super cozy, and the food was phenomenal.
We ordered the butternut squash arancini, the chimichurri steak special, and the bolognese pappardelle. Everything was delicious and the portions were perfect. We’ll definitely be back!

Stopped in for dinner tonight. Had one of the specials and as usual it was fantastic. Warm bread delicious. Mixed drink was on point. Ate at the bar and enjoyed company of other customers there. Bartender was very nice and her daughters worked there as well. Can't say enough good about this place. Even got dessert. Do yourself a favor and stop in.
This place is an absolute hidden gem! The Chicken Florentine was out of this world, perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and clearly homemade. The Chicken Riggies had an amazing homemade sauce that tasted like true comfort food. Every dish came with generous portions and the prices are incredible for the quality you get.
And don’t even get me started on dessert — the Tiramisu Donut was to die for. I’m honestly still thinking about it! Everything here feels homemade and fresh.
If you’re in Syracuse and haven’t tried this spot yet, run, don’t walk. Have lived in Syracuse for years and I’m not sure why we haven’t tried this place sooner!
