italian grotto is special. music from the rat pack put us in a good mood. the low light, private booth, and fine art made us feel comfortable. the good food made us feel happy and full. I had the cannelloni florentine. my excellent wife had the veal parm. both of our meals were served hot, which we really appreciate. her salad and wine were good, and her blue cheese dressing was terrific. my minestrone soup was good. we split an order of garlic toast. marinara dipping sauce was a nice touch.
we went early, so that we could have some quiet time. italian grotto has high energy and full tables later in the day/evening.
peter took very good care of us.
