This was my third visit and the best so far! Food was super good. We had the zucchini and eggplant fritti, ceasar salad, risotto, gnocchi and Chicken pa and everything was very good.
Great service, and wife liked the risotto dish. My son and I added the meatballs to our meals, seemed a bit dry. Caesar salad was good as well as the desserts. Will try regular menu another time.

Absolutely beautiful presentations for all the dishes. Antipasto was very large and well worth the cost. House red and white were decent and reasonably priced. Our mains were stunningly plated, fresh, and very delicious. The desert was the most elegantly plated desert I have seen in the city and was incredible tasting. I also had a latte which was very nice with some hazelnut flavor. Will be back many many more times.

My appetizer ravioli was barely warm& our Asiago mashed potatoes were the same. We did tell our server who then brought us hot potatoes, not sure how this could have happened. Our food was very good.

Don't waste your money! They can't even make a simple ceasar salad. Food is terrible and overpriced for a “fine” dining restaurant. Would rather spend my money at the Keg or Giorg!

Chicken parmigiana was excellent and love that it's served with risotto rather than pasta! Short rib was very good however it was a small portion and would have loved to have more of it! Shrimp scampi was delicious as was the ravioli appetizer which had an amazing sauce! It could have been cooked a minute longer as it was not quite al denté - delicious flavour made up for that ? The service was excellent for a surprisingly busy Tuesday evening!!

Nice choice on the appetizers. We love the carpaccio. The meatballs were okay but I would prefer if they were made of veal or a beef pork veal combination would be better and you would get a more tender moist meatball imo. The Caesar Salad is very good. The tomato salad not great. Tomatoes should be grilled more to make them sweeter especially during the winter months when access to tasty tomatoes is impossible. I am glad that they have included a fish item on menu. The gnocchi are excellent as is the risotto. A daily pasta special would be a nice idea. The Canolli are exceptional!!! Wow!!

Appetizers were very good (bread and name? platter, Caesar salad was very good, entree's were very good (shrimp scampi ? and Lasagna were very good. Would definitely order again!
Great atmosphere, the calamari and ravioli apps were amazing! Dinner was good, but I would try a different dish next time...veal was good. Wine recommendation and desert was also good. I'll definitely go back.
This restaurant is wonderful! Always great friendly service. My husband and I have eaten here several times, never a bad entree. Always warm and delicious! It is a quiet and calm surroundings. We will continue to partake of this restaurant in the months to come.
Great meal and wine. Presentation of food was nice. No change to set up from last two restaurants in the same space. Magician entertainment going to each table was a plus. Waitress did attempt to charge double the price for the wine but immediately corrected it when alerted to the error.

Great food, service and atmosphere. The earl grey martini, ravioli and braised beef short ribs were all excellent.

It is a very comfortable welcoming environment. The menu has selections to appeal to absolutely anyone. The Beef Carpaccio was excellent. Nice to have it on the menu. The gnocchi were delicious and scrumptious. The Cannoli were show stopping! Wow! I only have one suggestion and that would be a fish of the day special.

We just had an amazing meal at the Grotto. There was not one thing to criticize. Taylor was wonderful. Her service was personable , courteous and highly informative. Loved her. It was a great evening and we will be back sooner than later.
