Grotto Ristorante

A great restaurant experience. A nice dining experience. Prices are higher although I felt like the entrees were appropriate for the taste and quantity. The parking lot can get full as it is shared with retail stores. The servers are attentive and friendly. The location is clean inside and outside. There is a large bar inside and very open ending area. I’d recommend and will definitely be back. Note my rating system: 1 Star: I wouldn't recommend 2 Stars: Didn't hit my standards 3 Stars: Average (nothing special) 4 Stars: Above Average. Would recommend. Still looking for the 5 Star. 5 Stars: Top of their game. Great food. Great service. Would recommend and plan on returning.

Another great restaurant we love to visit. Every time we go, the food is always great, and the service is amazing. The staff is attentive, ensuring we have everything we need without being intrusive. The ambiance makes for a cozy and authentic Italian dining experience, perfect for a relaxed evening. There is only one time we had an issue with them, our card was charged twice as soon as we noticed the charges we contacted the manager and he immediately corrected the issue. It was an honest mistake. Whether we’re in the mood for classic pasta dishes or something a bit more unique, the menu never disappoints. We look forward to every visit!

10/10! A Houston classic for a reason. From the moment you step in, you feel like you’re in a little Italian trattoria—complete with charming decor and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu is full of classic Italian dishes, and from our experience each one was delicious. They give you bread to start which was delicious. The service was impeccable as well—friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Grotto has quickly become one of my favorite spots, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Italian food with a personal touch. Can’t wait to return!

Came here for with some friends to celebrate a birthday and we were received with excellent service. They were constantly checking on us, the food came out rather quickly, not to mention how tasty it was. I’ve had similar plates recently but the food here felt fresh and the environment was very relaxing.

This is the perfect place to enjoy authentic Neapolitan food! Mr. Crlerino provided exceptional service, making the experience even more memorable. Whether you're in the mood for pizza or pasta, you'll have a great time with delicious food and outstanding service. Highly recommend!

Foods are very delicious, we really like it. Service is also good but after desserts, the guy just gave the checks even we didn’t request it. Maybe I would’ve another drink or desserts as well, I don’t understand how he was so confident. Anyway, can be tried!

Food was amazing and Armando made sure we had an amazing dinner experience! Highly recommend!

Food is great with great ambiance and hospitality. Do try the chicken marsala, it's awesome!. It's not on the menu, but the chef prepared it on request!

Haven't been to Grotto in over 20 years so we decided to give it a try and it was overall an amazing dining experience. Service: 5 star. The wait staff made us feel pampered with the level of their service. Our waiter was always attentive and even though it was a busy Saturday night, we were never ignored. Food: 5 star amazing. Tomato Basil soup was the best we have ever tasted, ever! The appetizer bread was also fresh and tasty. We had the Veal Kickerillo (fantastic) and a Branzino dish with Primavera Fettucini. Kids had a margherita pizza, which was beautiful and tasty. Everything tasted divine. Finished off with a Strawberry Gelato which is house-made. Overall just a perfect dining experience! We will be back.

Arrived at Grotto to have an Anniversary lunch. Free parking and valet parking available. We were greeted by a friendly smiling host who asked how we were doing, asked how many years we were married and really set the mood for a GREAT lunch experience. The waitress asked what type of water we wanted and another person bought us a basket of yummy bread and olive oil with roasted garlic. We started with the fried calamari which was delicious. We then split a beautiful Italian salad and split the lasagne plate for our entree. The waitress bought us an anniversary dessert of chocolate cake which was a treat of delicious chocolate. And then another waiter bought us a small plate with Italian biscotti. The whole lunch was a beautiful and delicious experience. Thank you Grotto restaurant!! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Happpppy Hour! Yum yum! In the mood for some yummy food!!! The Ambiance: This place is super cute inside. Great for date night or a meet up amongst friends. They even have a party room and of course happy hour. Location: Nestled in a shopping center, this restaurant is located at Westheimer and 610 across from Hotel Derek! Parking: This restaurant has valet, so quite a few spots are blocked off. If you are lucky and come early enough you can get a great spot. The Food-Canenoli: This dish was presented very well. It came with one roll, but it was fairly large, definitely a sharable. It was stuffed with chicken and spinach. It was very flavorful; however, I am a texture girl and overall this dish is not my style because of that. I was thinking chunks of chicken and sautéed spinach. Instead, it was more of a mush consistency. Everything was blended in a food processor or blender. I couldn't finish it, but my friend loved it. This is a great way to use leftover chicken, not that it is leftover chicken... but still a great way to repurpose food. The Food- Meatzza: This pizza was a classic meat lovers. I went super safe on this one! The only think I would change is the meatballs. I'm not a fan of meatballs because of the texture. This was no different with it being sliced and placed on a pizza. The Food- Cookies: We received the cutest complementary cookies. These cookies were more like tea cakes. The Service: The service was great. Our Table Host was so attentive and had some great recommendations. They have a pretty good happy hour, so I may be back to give it another try!

It was a really nice set up. Seating of around 50 centered around a bar. I was very happy they had parking in a lot. The restaurant is located right next to a cvs. Food was pretty good! They had a lot of different options. The service was fantastic and attentive. They gave my party extra crab legs and calamari. I can see it being a good date spot.

I've been to The Grotto for several celebratory occasions, including one where the host rented out both of their party rooms. The restaurant has a great, family-friendly vibe with decent food, but nothing really stands out as memorable. I did enjoy the complimentary bread, Lobster Bisque, and Caesar Salad-- though, those are pretty standard starters that should never miss the mark...

The customer service here was top notch from the valet parking attendant to the wait staff. Let me just say, the bread that they give you to start with is off the chain amazing. You get some plain ones but the bread roast with the garlic taste on it, is phenomenal. Wow! We couldn't get enough. We the. Started with calamari. It was so good. Fresh and crunchy. You get more then enough for 4 people. It was so good. We loved it. Then two of us got the chicken Cesar salad and it was huge. I couldn't get over how pretty it was and it tasted as good as it looked. One of us got the meat flatbread pizza and it was so tasty and fresh. Then one of us got the lunch lasagna and wow! It looked so nice and handmade. It tasted so perfect and lots of cheese. Our waiter checked on us constantly and made sure we had plenty of drinks and refreshed the bread basket non stop. So dang good! I highly recommend this beautiful Italian gem. I really enjoyed everything and it was a great place for a nice lunch!!

Food was.... Italian, but as an afterthought. My friend and I came for Houston Restaurant Week and every dish was a miss. I think the best item was the cheese bread at the beginning, but even that was a bit stale. First, the gnocchi was just alright. Not enough lobster to balance out the very starchy gnocchi. Second, the primavera pasta entree. Incredibly bland. I appreciate that they subbed grilled shrimp for me, but the dish itself had no flavor. Finally, "homemade" cherry gelato. Very very very very sweet and tastes artificial. I took one bite and put the spoon down. Interior was outdated and smells like mildew. This place needs a major upgrade, both inside and outside the kitchen.

I haven't been to the Galleria Grotto in years but had the pleasure of visiting for a work lunch. It was great! Nice welcome with valet opening doors, greeting and great service. We had two types of bread with the seasoned olive oil. The little salad was perfect with a light vinaigrette and a little cheese. The entrees were penne pasta and chicken Francese with veggies and potatoes. The chicken was pounded with an artichoke and mushroom topping. Everything was delicious and filling. The chocolate cake was worth the calories. And, unlike the new La Griglia, they provide the tasty tri-colored cookies and biscotti at the end at no charge. And there's plenty of free parking with a security guard watching the lot.

We are such fans of Grotto and every time our meal is delicious . Service is 5 star and love the ambiance . Last night , went last minute and the place was pretty empty. The hostess put us right by a very noisy large table of 20 when the entire restaurant was pretty empty. Ordered some of our favorites . The awesome complimentary seasoned bread sticks were tonight just burnt crusts of pizza with no flavor . Our dishes with chicken were so disgusting and chicken was inedible . Like it had been flashed defrosted . Could not even chew it . The only good thing was the house salad. When they brought our biscotti , it was so hard, you could break a tooth . No upsetting and we did not want to insult our very nice waiter , however doubtful we will ever go back . Guess most hoping it was just a glitch . But will never be the person to recommend Grottos.

Such an amazing experience! Food tastes authentic and flavorful. Service is super polite and fast. The inside is very beautiful with an artistic wallpaper. The lighting is comfortable as well. Great for a dinner with company. (They give complementary cookies that are amazing!)

Great place for a last minute reservation for a birthday dinner. Called and grabbed a 6:30 spot on a Saturday night. Surprised how busy it was even though we snagged a same day table. Service was fantastic. Our water glasses were always full. Bread basket was filled with delicious choices to munch on while we chatted and waited for the main entrees. The olive oil and herbs are perfect for dipping. The snapper mugnaia was delicious. The snapper cooked with lemons, mushrooms and capers was so good. Served with garlic sautéed spinach and carrots, it was a great seafood choice. For pasta, my family had a penne with marinara and the pappardelle alla campagnola. Chicken, mushrooms, peas and mozzarella in a suga rosa sauce. Yum! Love the biscotti and Italian flag colored cookies. Nice to get a complimentary slice of chocolate birthday cake. Candle included. Able to use a Landry's Select birthday rewards coupon. Make sure to tip on the pre-rewards cost. Parking was easy. They also have a banquet room available for larger groups or meetings. May come back for happy hour with half priced pizzas and appetizers.

This might be the best pasta I've ever had, and I've been to Italy multiple times. I came in a Sunday evening and had a reservation for 2. Our table was in the back corner and the decor left a bit to be desired. They bring an assorted bread basket with a yummy seasoned olive oil. My friend started with the lobster bisque which I did not like but she did. I had the Pescatore and asked for it with a garlic wine sauce and I personally think that's the only way they should serve it. It had a healthy helping of all the seafood and was sooooo good! They also give you a rainbow cookie and biscotti at the end of your meal. The service was attentive and prices reasonable. I'll be back!

Came here for a birthday celebration and the place was bustling! We made a reservation so we didn't have to wait long thankfully, because, again, lots going on in the restaurant. We sat and were greeted almost immediately with our server who jumped in and asked what we wanted, no intro to who he was or welcoming us to the restaurant. I asked his name and he gave it, and then I let him know we hadn't yet had a moment to look at the menu, if he could come back in just a few mins. Well a few mins was more like ten or so, but we waited patiently. When he finally returned, we gave him our full order because we didn't know how long it would take for him to return. The drinks took quite a while to come out, and food came out not too long after. Drinks and food was phenomenal! You could tell there's a lot of love put into the food. The dough for the pizza is made fresh, we were able to see the pizza oven from our table and every pizza that came out looked beyond amazing! The pasta I had was super delicious, a little spicy, and had a creamy vodka sauce and grilled chicken! It was just enough for me! The service is why I'm giving 4 stars, I'd almost want to do 3 but the food makes up the difference. We waited over 30 mins to get our checks, and that for me is something I really don't care for. I never want to be held hostage to a table bc I'm unable to leave when I want. I would happily go back to this place for the food, because every item on the menu looks amazing and watching all the food come out shows there's LOTS more to try!

Omg. Love service en food my attendant server Teodoro Quevedo Always server executives and staff members never know when the food is ready and service will always love server know him fir many years executive service

I would give this place a 2.5 if I could. Given the size of our group (16), the food came out quickly. The pasta on others' dishes was overcooked, the arancini balls in the picture I posted was not crispy and was very oily. The lobster gnocchi didn't have strong flvors and barely had lobster in it as well. My favorite bites of my meal for HRW was the bread, the green beans, and the fruit on the fruit tart. Came here for a friend's birthday dinner but would not come back on my own. Good vibes, capable of sitting large groups, and free parking - which are pluses!

I hadn't been to Grotto in a year and really missed it. I love the bolognese and lasagna here and out of 20 good bolognese I have had, this one here makes my top 5 in any order for sure along with ones from Tony's, Il Bracco, Candelari's and Romano's Mac Grill. I ordered the Angel Hair/Capellini Bolognese tonight and it was very well prepared, soft, moist and very delicious. The noodles were very tender, flavorful and thin. The meat gravy was juicy but not soupy. It was very well-seasoned, savory, hearty and very tasty. You can tell when a pasta is really good when some grated cheese is just a plus, not needed, which is why I asked for just some on the side of the bowl. So, why the 4 stars instead of 5 ? My order was taken quickly since I knew exactly what I wanted, but my server never once came back n checked on me. If I am paying for dine-in, I should be checked with at least one time after my meal is brought to my table. The busboy luckily refilled my iced tea a couple times though.

Hosted a wonderful dinner with friends. Service and food were excellent. Good and friendly staff and delicious food.

It was our first time and the last one as well. We were a party of 15. We had the most rude set of servers. Barely went our table to check on what we needed. For the first time EVER, my husband had to refill his wine cup because the servers never cared. The food was not bad but not the best to make us go back to eat there again. We paid almost $80 dollars of required gratuity for the most awful service. Horrible experience!

Grotto's upscale vibes has made it one of the more popular Italian options near the Galleria, which is no small feat for one of the city's most active hoods. Part of Inspired by the old world Italian vibes, I liken the chain (#1) to be a fancier version of Olive Garden with food that hits average at best. While I think the ones in Vegas and AC get the most shine (#2), I don't think anyone goes to a Grotto without first noticing the decor. There's a bit of a California feel on the outside, complete with semi-contemporary undertones, high ceilings, and a nice outdoor patio. Parking isn't an issue, but that's to be expected. The food is a little underwhelming, at least for me. I'm always on the search for anything a la vodka and their penne a la vodka ($20) was solid but didn't merit the $20 price point. The pappardelle bolognese ($21) was on point, but the portion left a little bit to be desired. Anything vongole ($22) is a treat, but the linguine version was a tad on the blander side. Pizzas are a hard sell for me (#3) and the ones here are no exception. I like the margherita ($18) as a starting off point, but I felt the chewiness of the dough and the semi-rawness of the sliced tomatoes. The meatzza ($20) is more or less the same, except the disappointing crust is more tolerable with masquerading (and piling) of the various meats (sausage, pancetta, pepperoni, meatballs). A cauliflower crust is available for an extra $3. The other entrees are not much better. Their salmon griglia ($30) was probably the dish I enjoyed most, followed by the sea bass ($39). I was very disappointed with the veal parm ($28) but I had a feeling given how everything else has tasted so far. Hats go off to the staff for being excellent all around. They are courteous, polite, and patient. I also appreciate the complimentary biscotti at the end of the meal and think they were probably the highlight of my experiences here. Lastly, I think the 10% takeout fee is kind of ridiculous. I'm not sure if this was something implemented prior to the pandemic, but I would generally recommend for people to consider dining in over takeout. It's an ideal place for a lunch / dinner date and a reasonably laid back experience overall. ____________ (#1) Landry's Hospitality. Based here in good ol Houston. (#2) Literally and figuratively. (#3) At least here in Texas.

While when I was there This place was packed I waited for such a long time to get my order From the minute I walked in till I got my order placed A total solid 40 mins really ..... The food was ok The server was nice but not a huge fan of the greeting girls And the manager lack of manner and not educated enough I love their paintings on the wall Also the decor really Italy kind of vibe But other than that I can only see a bunch of hard working old people And very uneducated young manager Kind of hard to put together the whole picture

I came to this location on my birthday for dinner. We made a reservation at the Westheimer location but it was on a Wednesday, so it wasn't super crowded. The food was really delicious, the drinks were great, and even the bread and oil they brought to the table was delicious. I'd definitely come back. Our service was great too, and I appreciated how they sang the Happy Birthday song. 10/10 recommend

Rigatoni Contadina. It is a marinara dish. I substituted the sausage for mushrooms. The presentation was beautiful. I noticed that the marinara seemed overcooked (burnt a little) and it needed salt. It is also filling and a great size but I don't think I would order it again.

I think that the chopped salad is the best in Houston. Their menu is great as it has a wide range of pasta's and fish.

We tried the lobster bisque and although the flavor was good, we did have to ask them to warm it up because it was lukewarm. You could tell they microwaved the bisque.. the bowl was super hot, do they really not have hot soup? It's lobster! Please do yourself a favor and don't order the "Amatriciana"... my goodness gracious.. they don't believe in salting the water when they cook the pasta and the sauce tasted like it was literally canned San Marzano tomatoes with no added flavor. It was the most flavorless plate of pasta I've ever had and they didn't even put the pancetta. Pretty disappointed. Not going back.

Houston Restaurant Weeks was delectable! Came to Grotto with group of friends for Labor day weekend. Mussels as a starter paired with Foccacia bread is a go to. My server definitely helped with my wine preference. Coming back with family.

This was an awesome experience with a great atmosphere and delicious food. The service was excellent. Will definitely return to try other dishes!!

Always perfectly prepared, seasoned, and delicious food at Grotto. Homemade pasta melts in your mouth and bread so soft to dip in olive oil pesto-- Bravo Grotto! Florentino our waiter served us with a smile and kept my water glass full. Highly recommend this Houston favorite.

It's so lovely when you go back to a place you used to haunt and it's still just as good, just as lovely, just as wonderful. These are the BEST peach bellini (without the bubbles) in Houston. Fight me. They are; I said it. I had the chicken & spinach cannelloni with a side of the same great, fresh, tender crisp green beans that I remember. My Love had the ravioli in vodka sauce. Perfection. Plus the sizes of the lunch portions were great for those of us who are eating less.

This restaurant was very disappointing. I came with a party of 7 on a Friday night and the service and food was subpar FOOD: -Vongole: I was really excited about this dish because I typically like simple sauces and clam. This was incredibly underwhelming and way too greasy. They somehow made this with too much butter but yet lacking in a lot of taste. -Pear Carpaccio Salad: typically when I order pear carpaccio salad, I'd expect a pear salad with carpaccio slices. However, they said that it was just pear cut up in slices like it would carpaccio (?) so I went ahead and added salmon. The salad itself was $14 but the additional salmon was an additional $14! I was so disappointed because the salmon itself was tasteless and so small. SERVICE: The service was incredibly slow. We had to flag down multiple waiters to get our bill. CLEANLINESS: This restaurant was very clean and our table was constant being cleaned. AMBIENCE: This restaurant was designed with south Italian murals and decor. It's definitely cute but a bit outdated. It wasn't a big deal but it felt like an Olive Garden.

We decided And planned to go to dinner on Sat and 6pm. But we also wanted an upscale Italian meal. We like Carrabbas and also Macaroni Grille so we were told that Grottos was also very good. Checked out the menu on their website and saw a lot of choices from pasta to seafood and in between. We also decided to use their website to make a reservation for 6:15pm and they use open table and it worked perfect. Arrived at location and the parking lot is a shared lot with some spaces assigned to each business but some where closed so maybe once closed the assigned spots can be used, not sure just guessing. But we found parking in open spots without any issue and Walking up to Grottos has a lot of curb appeal and fancy cars parked out front which gives a bit of upscale feel but this is also the galleria area, so. Once inside the place looked great and has a lot of painting and decorations. Very very nice looking. we arrived at 5:45pm. But did not have to wait, they greeted us right away and took us to our table. Service was great as they had plenty of staff from waiters to buss staff. We were greeted promptly and told the specials and our order was taken shortly after. I ordered the Pescatore and my date ordered the ravioli allá vodka both dishes were awesome with great portions and flavors. Both are a must try!! We will be back for sure.... Side note they are owned and part of the Landry's loyalty program. So if you are a member your rewards can be used and also points gained.

Came by for happy hour on a Wednesday. This was my first time here and probably will be my last. Never been a fan of Italian food but I thought the pizza would at least be decent, but it wasn't. The happy hour menu is impressive (if you like this type of food) but I wasn't feeling it. The wait staff were also decent. I wasn't taken by much there, not the ambiance, food or service. Good thing is they have parking so you don't have to valet.

My three stars are for the service and the service only this place has fantastic service the wait staff was well coordinated and helpful and attentive, as far as the food I'm Italian and the only example I can give is Olive Garden has this establishment beat by a long run. It was a graduation party table of 8, we mainly ordered pizzas, Alfredo pasta and soup and salads the best part about the food was the ceaser salad :( they forgot my mother in laws pizza the food didn't have any flavor very bland which is not Italian food the pizza was barely cooked :( the noodles were not fully cooked my son the pizza lover said "is this pizza?" Kind of disappointed in the food but the restaurant was pretty and the staff was A+ I hope they take this review and work on their food! Because this place would be a hit if they worked on their menu! Overall we did have a good time

What a great place! Excellent food, terrific service, nice atmosphere. What more could you ask? Oh -- good prices. We had the rigatoni and the Italian salad, both of which were excellent. Our waiter, Cliff, is a real pro -- friendly, efficient, no pressure. We'll ask for him next time. We've found our Italian restaurant.

My husband and I are in town for the Houston/WV game and decided to try last night. I ordered the grilled salmon with spinach & grilled veggies with linguini. My husband had a penne vodka pasta dish. The food was delicious, the service was IMPECCABLE..DEFINITELY was worth the price. Good portion sizes too! Also the restaurant is beautiful and had great ambiance.

The wine list was written in 1991 and has yet to be updated. If you want a decent selection at a reasonable mark-up, you came to the wrong place. I'm including a photo of their by the glass selections as to shame them into changing course. None of these bottles retail for more than $17. And they taste like it. Service is typically prompt and courteous. Food is generally well-prepared, although the veal was greasy. The pizza is floppy and not to current standards. Definition of resting on the proverbial laurels. See below comments from the customer service department. I wrote this review and their response, rather than to comment - was to post a link so I can 'give them feedback.' I already did. See above.

Absolutely delicious and great service too! My two friends and I ate here just before the very first Rockets basketball game of this season. The portions are big enough for two women to split. My friend and I split a salad and an entree too! The chicken Marsala is REALLY GOOD!!

Lunch date with hubby at Grotto Ristorante today. Weekday business lunch $25 comes with three course, soup or salad, entree, and slice of cake. The food was awesome and service super good! Will bring more friends... they have party rooms for gatherings!

Been here several times before but this time we stopped by just for their chocolate cake for dessert. We had a picture of our daughter who passed away on the table and Cliff our waiter inquired about her. We told him about her and how it would have been her 30th birthday and our 31st anniversary. We ordered two cakes and he brought them out with candles and well wishes written in chocolate one saying, "Happy Birthday" and the other "Happy Anniversary". That was such a thoughtful and much appreciated kind gesture. He also shared a personal story about his late mother. We really enjoyed our visit and it was a lovely way to end our evening.

Disappointing. Gazpacho was terrible. No tomato flavor, watery and doused in soggy watermelon. The mozzarella in the caprese starter was thick and not soft, like it had been cut from an institutional log. The salmon was good but soaked in lots of sauce. One person in our party said the lasagna was good. Another person in our party asked for a list of spirits (specifically tequila) no less than six times. One never arrived and ultimately the waiter went to the bar and showed up at the table (during dessert) with three bottles in his arms to show us what they had. It was so odd and just really not what I remembered from this once-great restaurant.

I would give 5 stars across the board for ambiance, staff, cleanliness, and food. We had the Ravioli Alla Vodka and the Pasta Grotto for our meals, and split the Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert. It was all some of the best food we've had ever. Will definitely go back.

I went around 6 weeks ago man my wife had the lasagna that left me and my wife running to the toilet that night. I had three management employees from grottos reach out to me and said they will make everything right. The third time which was 3 weeks ago they asked for my email and haven't heard anything back since then the main lady Ana was the first one

Had a great time with friends celebrating a graduation. Staff was great, accommodating and friendly.

The Chilean sea bass was delicious but the rice that comes with it had a funky aftertaste so I couldn't eat it. The caprese salad and the pear salad was pretty good. The strawberry cassata cake is the BEST. Service was wonderful too. Plenty of parking and valet.

One of the bartenders came to our table and accused me of not paying for my drink at the bar, saying "we have a martini that is unaccounted for and that gentleman over there said he paid for his so it must be yours." I explained to him that I stayed behind and tabbed out with the female bartender before being seated at the table. He demanded I show him the receipt which I left in the book. I told him that, and that I can pull up my credit card statement, but that he should really check back there for the receipt with my name on it and the other bartender before coming up with accusations. He left and went to chat with her, looked through some receipts. Never came back to apologize but continued to stalk our table the entire night. Very unprofessional and rude. Would not recommend.

I'm very happy server always visit for Teodro Quevedo ,him always love him know my food My drink at time very happy I'm recommend server at time birthday's And food is good , him make my plate salad I'm don't need menu Love thank you Grottos

I live almost 2 hours away and come to Houston for appointments. My car battery died in the middle of the parking lot outside of Grotto. Not only did the valet, Pedro jump start my car for 30 minutes, but the waiters, Ricardo welcomed me in with a glass of wine and amazing bread to calm my nerves. The staff is absolutely amazing. Very attentive to me and they definitely know how to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. I'm currently drinking my wine and looking at the relaxing fireplace to calm me down while I wait for a tow truck. Must come back to try the food. I'm sure it's amazing.

Authentic Italian Restaurant, with great food and ambience! Got the pizza, soup & dessert. They have a separate dessert menu. Worth dining in when visiting Houston!

While I absolutely love Grotto and their staff, I will never dine there again. While spent 1 hour today at Grotto, my car was broken into right out in front of the valet while a police office stood watch. Thieves smashed out my back window of my rental car. They got my tote, with jewelry, iPad, Bose, all my medication, prescription glasses, all my phone cords, and many other personal items. I was informed later by local friends that there have not only been breakins at Grotto, but a murder. Stay away from anything in the Galleria.
