Reviews
We dined here on 28 August 2023.
The La Grotta is carrying a dress code, which we find very appropriate for a nice place like this. We arrived in our Lyft Lux, and even though it was a nice series 5 BMW, it still seemed small compared to the other cars there. No doubt that this is an upscale restaurant.
We found our way into the building and down in the cellar, where the restaurant is located. Very nice atmosphere up front.
The people in front of us got greeted by first name, so it is obvious that the locals are returning diners - which is always a good indication of a good restaurant.
We were also well received even though we were first timers. We were shown to our table and immediately we were greeted by our main waiter. A vey nice, polite, knowledgeable, professional waiter who was not afraid to recommend a few courses. Two other waiters served us as well, and they were all of the same caliber.
La Grotta has a full bar, so your imagination is the limit for what you want as aperitif. We chose an Aperol Spritze. Very nicely mixed.
La Grotta has an extensive wine list with a focus on Italian wines but basically covering the world. The price range goes from about 50 USD for a bottle of wine to 1,000+ USD - so there is a wine for all sizes of wallets. We found a very nice bottle for about 90 USD.
The menu is quite extensive covering all the Italian specialties you can think off. We had a difficult time choosing from the many delicious choices. With a little help from the waiter we however managed.
We ordered each a starter and a main course - and we shared a dessert - a wonderful Tiramisu.
We were lucky dining at La Grotta in the black truffle season - tasted superb.
This is definitely a place to dine if you are in Atlanta.
I read many of the reviews and yes, the food, service and atmosphere is amazing. With different types of table seating and a patio, that makes it very nice. For special occasions, let them know when you make a reservation. Yes, you need to make a reservation. Business casual to elegant. Man can wear a tie, but is not required. I like that it is not a huge menu. The service work together in teams. Staff speak besides English, Italian, Spanish, French and German. That in itself is amazing. Restaurant is in the basement of a condo complex. Take the elevator to G. Food is great, but I made the mistake and ordered too many items with cream sauce. I will order differently next time. My only neutral comment is for a restaurant of this caliber, a dessert could be dressed up a bit with Happy whatever the occasion is with it written on the dessert plate. That is such an added touch and easy thing to do and makes people feel special. Although we were told Happy..... several times.
Hands down the best Restaurant experience i've ever had. The food is incredible and the staff is amazing. Cannot wait to come back.
I’ve heard so many great things about La Grotta and my boyfriend took me for an early valentines dinner. I was so excited for this. First of all, they have valet parking, you go inside and take elevator all the way down. We were sat down as soon as we arrived (reservations only) our waiter’s name was Billy and he is probably one of the best waiters I’ve ever had!!! He was very helpful and guided us through the entire menu along with great recommendations. I had wild bore and it was a 10/10 my bf had a thick cut of veal also amazing!! But my absolute favorite thing about La Grotta was the dessert, the BEST tiramisu and torta I have ever tried.
LOVE this place! My boyfriend and I went here for our first time and it was definitely an amazing experience. We are young, so we’ve never experienced a fancy 5 star restaurant before. We took an elevator down to the cellar where the restaurant is. The place gave me ratatouille vibes, in such a good way! Our waiter was super nice and he didn’t mind recommending the best options, which I really appreciated since it was our first time. I picked out what he recommended and LOVED it! The gnocchi and ravioli was sooo good! Will definitely be back again!
The service is top top level. Food is great. Truffle options are nice item to have to experiment.
Great vibes, the food is very fresh and service was fantastic. Highly recommend the risotto and the tiramisu.
There is valet parking or a garage parking just down the street.
Usually I love La Grotta. Last night was an exception.
They made us wait almost an hour and a half for a table though we were early for dinner. Everyone was waiting a long time! Did they offer bottled water? A drink from the bar? Anything?
Absolutely not!
I was celebrating my birthday and I was very disappointed in the service.
For a restaurant this expensive and prestigious, I really do expect more. Food is as always amazing.
However, the long waits and loud, crowded space makes this place overrated and it will be a while before we go back.
