  • I have ordered or picked up from La Grotta 4 or 5 times. The pizza is always very good, cooked perfectly and very tasty so no complaints there. I have also had a chicken parm sandwich that was excellent so based on those experience I would give 4 stars. However... Last night my wife and I were in the mood for pasta and with the heat neither of us felt like standing over a stove. I recalled that La Grotta had an extensive pasta menu and based on my previous experience I was excited for the food to arrive. We ordered one "Chef's favorite" which is a penne with sausage, garlic, olive oil and spinach. It made my wife's stomach rather upset although she said it tasted ok. We also ordered a small pepperoni pizza (just because) and it was perfect. Lastly, I had a hankering for lasagna. I figured we would have lots of leftovers (and we did) which is why we ordered that much food for two. VERY sad to report that the lasagna was probably the worst I have ever had. I suspect they prepare a batch, portion it out in the foil take-out bowls and then freeze it. I almost couldn't tell where the noodles were because the colour had taken on a greyish colour similar to the ground beef. The texture was tough to put in my mouth once I had one bite. The colour of the meat pasta sauce was a nice bright red so I assume they add a few scoops of this before putting it in the oven. It was so over-salted that I needed two glasses of water just to feel a bit better. I had four bites and could do nothing more. The leftovers sit in my friidge untouched waiting for me to take mercy and add to the garbage. It was really really awful. So, a place that CAN get it right when making something fresh to order really needs to take a look at their practice of passing along frozen food. I understand that they might not be able to make a fresh lasagna everyday but if that's the case then reduce the menu and maybe have couple "pastas of the day" available. Don't make customers pay for frozen food, we can get that anywhere. I'm giving 2 stars because of previous positive experiences but I will not be ordering pasta here again. I will probably order sandwiches or pizza in the future.
