| - After finishing our shopping much earlier than we had anticipated, we ended up an hour early for our reservation at Grotto. They were very happy to accommodate us, even though they were quite busy, which we really appreciated! The interior is small, rustic and cozy - perfect for a wine bar! Our food was really spectacular - we had a meatball appetizer that we both agreed were the best meatballs we had ever tasted!
What disappoints me slightly about this place, is that the menu isn't that large and they were out of the two items I was really interested in. That's ok, it happens. It's hard to predict how many people are going to order something in a given night.
But, for a wine bar, the wine list was ALSO really small. We were given a list of maybe 8 whites and 5 reds - no mention of half bottles, full bottles, flights. Then, they were out of one of those selections! Come on! Most restaurants around town have more impressive wine lists and they don't call themselves wine bars! The two wines that I had were good - but nothing out of the ordinary that I couldn't pick up at the grocery store.
Go here because it's charming and romantic, the service is great and the food is very tasty. Don't go here for the wine - unless you like paying the same price for a single glass as you could for an entire bottle.
