Grotto Downtown

Southern Italian restaurant · Downtown

"Grotto brings a taste of Naples to the heart of Downtown. This Southern Italian gem is celebrated for its warm ambiance and traditional dishes, from eggplant Parmigiana to Neapolitan pizzas. A dozen small plates, including arancini and calamari fritto complement its selection of comforting pastas, including its classic bolognese and garganelli with grilled shrimp." - Marcy de Luna
