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 offers a special Sunday and Thursday night deal of chicken, spaghetti, salad, and dessert for $39, serving 3-4 people. The staff is accommodating and ensures guests feel comfortable throughout their meal, although the 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 provided by the attentive staff. The restaurant also offers a special private fireworks show, making it a great dining experience.
Staying at the nearby San Luis resort, the Grotto is a nice option with friendly service and good food, though the quality can vary depending on the dish. The gulf snapper and bread are praised, while a pasta dish was found to be overly creamy. Customers recommend trying the pizza, as it is likely to be good.
For a special occasion, the Grotto offers a 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.
The Grotto is known for its exceptional service and flavors. A recent party of six had a smooth and enjoyable evening, with the attentive waitress, Chloe, catering to their diverse needs, from gluten sensitivity to children's preferences. The updated menu offered more flexibility for dietary requirements, and the red snapper with crab meat, spicy multi-meat pizza, and rich chocolate cake were all highlights. While the atmosphere can be lively and loud, making conversation a bit challenging, the Grotto remains a family-friendly and satisfying dining experience.
