Another great meal at the Grotto. New menu had great options. Drinks were good as well. Definitely a go to for unique Italian dishes in Thunder Bay.

Was my first time going to this restaurant and it was amazing. From the Wednesday entertainment to the atmosphere, food, dessert and special after supper tea drink. I will definitely be back in the future the only negative comments would be the limited parking for the restaurant which the restaurant has no control of.

Chief Jacob's addition to the anyway superb team at the Grotto enhances the overall experience.

I ordered a small Caesar salad and Eggplant Parmigiana. I was disappointed. The salad was a little boring. I'm used to tasting the bite of Dijon mustard, a noticeable amount of garlic, and a subtle hint of anchovy. This salad did not deliver. The Eggplant Parmigiana was served with asparagus, squash and risotto. The disappointing part was being served only one piece of Eggplant, which was flavorful, but the breading seemed to have dissolved in the marinara sauce. The remaining 3/4 of my plate was filled with risotto, which was prepared well but needed seasoning. I was expecting, at minimum, 2 pieces of eggplant. The dish should be renamed Risotto with eggplant and seasonal vegetables.

Great food. We had the pork bellies and the fettuccine..... so good. Definitely going back for more.

My girlfriend and I came for dinner to celebrate her birthday and we are both still talking about the outstanding experience for our first visit to Grotto. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the warmest service and it continued for the entire night. Our waitress was extremely pleasant and accommodating and had great recommendations for us. Our orders were cooked to perfection and every bite was amazing! The entire experience was overall amazing and we will definitely be back!! Thank you to the staff at Grotto, and the chef who made our experience memorable, we will definitely be back soon!

We were seated immediately upon are for our reservation and enjoyed a pre dinner drink (extra dirty Martini which was superb and Peroni beer) Nick our server was attentive and very personable! We enjoyed soup, meatballs, the caprese salad and shrimp scampi ans our appetizers and we both had the risotto with a grilled chicken breast. Finished off with coffee and Vanilla Amaretto Creme Brûlée. The portion sizes were on the larger size and a great value. Everything was served to the perfect temperature and consistency and all was delicious. Highly recommend Grotta Trattoria and we will return very soon

What a great little restaurant. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Food was tasty and portions were excellent, we both had leftovers for next day. Half price wine night on Wednesday was an excellent choice. Go ahead and skip dessert, we did, but we had a heavenly affogato instead! So tasty! Highly recommended for a nice night out.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining here for lunch today. Our server, Meaghan was very welcoming and had excellent menu knowledge. Food was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the bruschetta, the gnocchi, and for dessert, an absolute showstopper, the crème brûlée. I will definitely be back for lunch. 10/10

Went to Grotto for their first day of lunch. The sausage Pizza was delectable, had a nice sweetness in the sauce and the peppers added an amazing hint of spice. Our server Meaghan was very sweet and had a contagious smile and exceptional menu knowledge. overall a tremendous experience, guess we found are new favourite lunch spot
Thank you so very much for opening up for lunch hour!!! I love the menu for dinner and so very appreciate the lunch options!!

I went on wine and magic night. The wine was good and the service was fast. The food is a little pricey but tastes very good. Would recommend for a date night.
