Grotto Ristorante is a renowned restaurant known for its excellent service and delicious food. The menu offers a variety of options, with highlights including the calamari, caprese salad, vodka ravioli, and linguini pescatore. The restaurant also has a special Sunday and Thursday night deal of chicken, spaghetti, salad, and dessert for $39, serving 3-4 people. The staff is friendly and accommodating, ensuring guests feel comfortable throughout their meal, though service may be slower during busy weekends. Customers praise the fresh and light Grotto house salad, the amazing bianco sauce, and the excellent advice and recommendations from the attentive staff.
Staying at the nearby San Luis resort, Grotto is a nice option, offering good food, although the quality can vary depending on the dish. The gulf snapper and bread receive high praise, while some have found a pasta dish to be overly creamy. Customers recommend trying the pizza, as it is likely to be good.
For a special occasion, Grotto provides great value with its Sunday and Thursday night pasta and chicken special for two at $45, which includes a three-course meal with more than enough food. The cheesecake is particularly praised.
Grotto is known for its exceptional service and flavors. A recent party of six enjoyed a smooth evening, with the attentive staff catering to diverse needs. The updated menu offers flexibility for dietary requirements, and highlights include the red snapper with crab meat, spicy multi-meat pizza, and rich chocolate cake. While the atmosphere can be lively and loud, making conversation a bit challenging, Grotto remains a family-friendly and satisfying dining experience. Customers return time and time again, finding the food outstanding and the atmosphere magical. Though some family favorites have been removed from the menu, guests continue to be delighted with their meals and look forward to returning.
