I have been going to the Grotto since 2001. Gary runs the place like a NY style joint. The service can be bad but that is part of the charm. I have sampled EVERYTHING on the menu and love it all. Diana Manages the place and she is Fantastic!
My favorite meal:
I start with the Zucchini( pan fired with a lite batter and amazing white sauce)
Then move on to the soup ( Amazing Minestrone)
Then have the Chicken Carolina (Every bite melts in your mouth)
Or the Sea Bass Picatta( Soo good)
I Finnish it off with a White Chocolate Tartufo or a Cannoli.
Complete the meal with a nice bottle of wine in one of the tables that opens to the sidewalk and you have the perfect evening.
Not the cheapest place in the world. But one of my favorite restaurants in the world!
And if its baseball season, the only game on will be the Yankees so don't even ask to change the channel!
