The food from the Bruchetta appetizer to the pizza, pasta, and finally dessert was outstanding!
There was one thing better than the food though.....the service! Tori was phenomenal! Service truly worthy of the finest restaurant in Houston!
Highly recommend the restaurant, and highly recommend asking to sit in Tori's section. You will not regret it!
Delicious food, always a repeat 😍
I was able to snag a reservation for the next day before an Astros game. We were seated promptly. The interior was gorgeous, but it didn’t feel ‘too fancy’ for everyone in Astros gear! It was kid friendly, although we had the only kids in there at the time. It has access from the street, or from within the GRB convention center. We enjoyed happy hour drinks, pizza, soup, and 2 small plates. Everything we had was delicious! And so convenient for walking across the street...read full review

Grotto Downtown offers an upscale yet cozy atmosphere, making it perfect for date nights, groups, or solo dinners. The restaurant boasts a large bar with multiple TVs and seating, ideal for diners who want to catch a game while they eat. Guests can enjoy many unique and authentic Italian dishes, with standout meals like the grilled grouper over string beans, almonds, and lump crab, and the Chicken Marsala, which is tender and served with a rich Marsala wine sauce and mushrooms. The knowledgeable staff can provide excellent recommendations, including the delicious lobster bisque and stunning mussels that feature a wonderful broth and pancetta. Many visitors have praised the staff for being awesome and professional, especially Guiseppe, who is known for her lovely aura and quick service. While service can be hit-or-miss, many report enjoying stellar assistance. The noise level may rise, especially during busy times like happy hour. Grotto Downtown is definitely a place to revisit, making it a great choice for upscale casual family outings, and diners should not miss the STRAWBERRY CASSATA, which is so good and enough to share.
