Grotto Ristorante

The restaurant, cosy and located in Golden Nuggets, was almost empty so the 6 of us got a table immediately; once all dishes arrived at 8.45pm the waitress made us understand that the restaurant was about to close. But she didn’t say it before opening our second wine bottle so we didn’t want to rush for finishing our bottle. She stayed so close to us waiting for the bill to be paid. What a way to show you the exit door! We were all disappointed by the food anyway.

Great food and delicious, service was great I didn't leave anything after all 😅 It's worth the try for sure

The food at this restaurant is absolutely delicious, and the prices are quite reasonable. The hostess was incredibly friendly and charming. However, I was a bit disappointed with the wait staff as they seemed to lack attentiveness. Once they took our order, they never returned to check on us throughout the meal.

Had an exceptional dining experience at Grotto Ristorante inside the Golden Nugget! The strawberry cheesecake was the perfect balance of flavor, not too sweet, and absolutely delicious. The calamari was flavorful, and the chicken Alfredo didn't disappoint either. On top of the amazing food, the service was top-notch and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend!

Great place for Italian while in Fremont! Large portions and great variety... we had a little bit of everything! Nice wine list, as well. Staff was very friendly and accommodating to our large group. Highly recommend!

First Time here, came with my daughter, must say I am impressed. Our waiter Jose was so wonderful and very attentive. The food! Well, omg the food. Just GO....no words on the pizza! My Lord the pizza! 🤌🏻🙌🏻💯 Yes! Yes! Yes!

The hostess gave us a stare when we asked to be seated, which made us a bit uncomfortable. Maybe she didn't like our casual attire? Otherwise a pleasant visit. Nice atmosphere with beautiful decor. Friendly wait staff. Great pizza for a reasonable price. That's all we tried, so I can't comment on anything else except that the iced tea was good.

**updated 2/24/2020 The restaurant has been moved. It’s much smaller but the quality is still amazing. The only thing I have to complain about is that we had a party of 14 and everyone had their food as was eating 10 minutes before one of the kids (under 8) in our party received their chicken tenders. Not sure how it takes you longer for that then 13 adult meals but it happened. Other thing I would improve is having staff members (girl in a white coat with sleeve tattoos) should not reach across people eating to grab an empty plate in middle of dinner. Even with those minor hiccups I’m sure I’ll be back. It’s too good not to!! ** Original impression: The lasagna is to die for!!! The coffee is great and the service is attentive. Relaxed atmosphere and good location. We got to sit next to the pool and it was a wonderful donning experience.

"The grotto" as we like to call it, is a must on every visit to Las Vegas. For my meal on my latest visit, I had shrimp scampi. The flavors were excellent and the shrimp was cooked just right. The pasta was perfect with the slightly tangy sauce. The food is always fresh and consistent. The ambiance is quiet (even more so now that it was moved to a different section). The staff is friendly and helpful and the menu is not a crazy long novel so ordering is super easy. I love the grotto and will continue making it a must when I visit the area.

Night out of town at the Golden Nugget. Tired of feeding the slots, work up an appetite. In the mood for Italian. We decided on Grotto. Figured it would be chill and wanted some pasta. The ambiance is romantic, modern, and casual. Love the art of glass chandeliers. Our server was attentive and professional. Let's dive into the food::: Margarita Pizza::: It was great! Crunchy thin crust. Served on a pizza tray. Great presentation. Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo::: It was delicious. Noodles al dente. Creamy alfredo sauce. Pleasantly surprised! Portion was great. End up taking home leftovers. All and all, not a bad Italian option if you're looking for a quick bite at the golden nugget to satisfy your hunger.

This restaurant is hidden in the Golden Nugget Casino but definitely stands out in flavor. We have yet to try the fresh baked pizzas but the veal and chicken were full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The service was a bit slow but very friendly. You'll find yourself very comfortable in this setting wearing either casual or fancy clothing. There is a bar with sports on the suspended televisions or seated tables with candles.

While the service is not as great, I thought the friendliness of my servers made up for it. I believe they were understaffed when I visited, so I had to do a lot of waiting. I ordered the Bolognese and split it with my partner because we weren't too hungry. We also decided to order an extra meatball and it was a great decision as it was delicious and juicy. I appreciated that our server split up the meal into two separate plates! Would I come here again? Probably not. But it is a good spot to get a quick Italian fix.

You will find Grotto hidden at Golden Nugget in Downtown Vegas. If you're staying there, its existence will be obvious because you will walk right by it on your way to the casino, pool, or Fremont Street, but it's only open on the weekend. If you're not staying there, you might not know it exists. And if you're not staying there and you know it exists but it's a weekday, then you won't be eating there. Therefore, the stars must align for you to enjoy this fine cuisine. The service was excellent--even the manager came to check in on me. What a kind individual. And the waiter was on the ball. The food was also excellent. It felt like a true NY Italian meal. Even better than some NY Italian restaurants. The only Italian restaurant I'd put ahead of this one in Vegas is Lago at Bellagio, but I haven't tried them all yet. Regardless, it's a very simple formula. If you're Downtown and want quality Italian food, this is where you go.

The hostess gave us a stare when we asked to be seated, which made us a bit uncomfortable. Maybe she didn't like our casual attire? Otherwise a pleasant visit. Nice atmosphere with beautiful decor. Friendly wait staff. Great pizza for a reasonable price. That's all we tried, so I can't comment on anything else except that the iced tea was good.

Food, service and ambiance all 5 stars. We ordered the meatza pizza and a Come to go. It was late and I was starving. The pizza was ready so fast! We went up to our room and chowed down. I am from NY, so I am very picky about my pizza. It was delicious! The toppings were sublime. The picture I am posting is only part of a pizza because we had already devoured half of it. We will certainly be regulars here.

Got carry out pizza, the pizza was tasty. Ask for napkins though. Very greasy from all the great cheese.

The Grotto is not The Grotto. Miss the old Grotto and the thin flaky pizza as the dough is thicker now. Will not be my go to place anymore when I visit downtown Las Vegas.

Great food/service/prices are fair, nice setting in back of casino. A go to when downtown for pizza and wine.

This was such a great place when it was where Saltgrass is now at the Golden Nugget. Whoever decided on this switch really screwed up. The food is very mediocre now. We have been there 3 times after they moved and it has gotten progressively worse. I don't think it can survive. Bring back the old staff and move it back to Saltgrass. Why would you have 3 steak houses under one roof? The heavyset blond hostess has no personality to be seating people. The wait staff (older guy) seems combative and defensive of his slow pace and forgetfulness. We won't be back to Grotto unless there are major changes.

3 1/2 Stars: Wanted pasta so we made reservations on a Saturday. The restaurant was busy but there were a few tables open. Service was ok. We had to ask a few times for water. No one was actually walking around and filling glasses as needed. We had waved our server down. Food: Carbonara- There was a fried egg on it which I prefer a runny yolk to mix in the pasta. In addition I prefer pancetta which there were a few pieces but my dish was topped with bacon bits. Not the worse carbonara I've ever had and not the best either. Bolognese with Angel Hair pasta- this was delicious. Great balance of flavors. Restaurant was nice and clean but would only return for the complimentary bread (because of the olive oil dipping sauce) and Bolognese.

Feeling like Italian food? When you're in the Fremont area in Las Vegas, try Grotto's and make it one of your "Fremont Experience!" Location: So Grotto's was recommended to but it wasn't told to us that the restaurant was actually located inside the Golden Nugget. I recommend taking Uber or Lift if you're staying on the South Side of Vegas (on the Strip), so you don't have to worry about looking for parking. Food: I say this is a pretty good Italian food but I felt like the menu was very limited in choices of entrées. Ordered Pasta Verdura and Spaghetti Bolognese. The pasta was not actually pasta, it was actually zucchini pasta. It also had kale, carrots, roasted tomatoes, and asparagus topped Evoo sauce.. my spaghetti definitely had meat sauce. It did not look appetizing as looked like ground beef on top on noodles but it was tasty. We also had calamari and spinach/artichoke dip, Yumm!!! The bread they serve before the meal was the bomb! It was so flakey on the outside and soft and moist inside and it was serve warm. OMG!!! Our waiter was pretty funny and he was attentive. When we finally got our food he left us alone to enjoy it! I love that. Cause sometimes, it's too much when they come back too many times.

Cauliflower Pizza was a 4.... everything else was a 2. Thank goodness for Tom the server who saved the day. We were sat they came and brought waters then about 5 minutes later brought bread. 25 minutes passes servers are passing us up. We ate all the bread and waited.... and waited.... finally Tom approach the table. We ordered a Caesar Salad and soup and a Cauliflower Pepperoni Pizza. They did comp the pizza for the misunderstanding, but it really dampened the mood.

Wow - I loved this place. A super cute, reasonably priced, yummy place tucked into the Golden Nugget. We came around 9PM on a Saturday night and we're seated right away. We had a pizza and two orders of the pollo Parmesan. The bread that comes with the meal was warm, and well-cooked. The perfect starter! Honestly, the food was delicious. The pollo Parmesan was very fresh and had the right hints of both garlic and basil. Definitely would want to come back - service and food were awesome!

We took a family vacation to Las Vegas. One night, me and my dad decided to check out downtown Las Vegas together. Now this is not a review on Fremont Street, but wow, that place is crazy. I was hungry. I looked around and all I saw were more hotels. But by now, I've realized, everything to do in Vegas is in a hotel. So we walked around, walking in and out of hotels looking for food. No, I didn't use Yelp to guide me this time. However, I was not disappointed. We ventured through a hotel and saw that there was this little Italian restaurant. I'm always down for Italian, so I convinced my dad that we should eat here. We walked in and were greeted and seated immediately. We sat and began looking over the menu. It was dark in there. Dad had to pull out his phone's flashlight to read the menu. I ordered the rigatoni with meatballs. I liked my selection. It was pretty basic, but that's how I like to eat. The meatballs were crumbly, I guess you could say. My dad said that's from bread crumbs they use within the meatballs. Fancy. As we were finishing up our meal, we saw the table next to us had the dessert cart next to it, and they were being told their options. We listened in and decided we must get dessert. I get my sweet tooth from dad. I ordered the chocolate cheesecake with Oreo crust. It was definitely the best part of my meal. Yum. They had tons of dessert options, so whatever your preference, I'm sure you'll find something to satisfy your sweet tooth as well. Overall, I had a great experience dining out with dad here. The food was good. The service was on point. They had a wide variety of entrees and desserts to choose from. I would recommend this place to others in the area!

Highly recommend!!! I try to avoid restaurants at the hotel or casino I stay at. They seem to be generally overpriced, of lower quality, and less ambiance. Grotto was very good, prices were surprisingly reasonable (cheap for Vegas), and atmosphere was great. Waiter was superb. Potions huge and delicious! My wife and I each got a house salad and split a lasagna. We couldn't eat it all. Waiter brought it out on two plates and was certain he misunderstood that ordered just one to split, but they split it in the kitchen for us before serving. Again, huge portion! Order to share unless you're just a huge eater.

Grotto Ristorante is inside the Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas. It is a weird place, a throwback to "old" Vegas. It feels like it's a place where "everybody knows your name," so it is quaint and old school. The seating is either inside the restaurant proper (more likely at night), or in a limbo state of a hallway lounge (which is not as bad as it sounds) during the day, for lunch. The hallway lounge area has carpet, comfortable vinyl seats, and faces the hotel pool. It is orange and beige and very surreal. Squinting up at it near the window in the restaurant, you feel almost that you are in a cruise ship. It's fun! It's odd. The vibe is very 80-year old golfers, but SO uncool, it's inverted hip. You can't beat the lunch deal. $15 for 2 courses! The first course we selected was the DELICIOUS tomato soup with basil and dill. Yum, yum, and yum. The second course I got was the Scallopine with spinach. (Not on the menu, but an adaptation because I divulged to the very nice waiter that I was on a "keto" meal plan. Ordinarily, this dish comes with a side of mouthwatering pasta--I know, because I saw a nearby dining neighbor get it, and I resisted the urge to grab a fistful of spaghetti and run back to my table). My lunch partner ordered the lasagna, and I was seriously fighting food envy, and cursing keto. It looked boss! And by the way she was devouring it, (albeit politely, no elbows on the table), I KNEW it was good, without her having to say so (though she did). The portions were generous, and both of us had to take doggy bags. Now this is not my normal food foray. It's not hipster bro, trendy, foodie fabulous, exotic epicurean, or deep comfort food. It was perfect to open my eyes and broaden my downtown horizons. The hostess and our server were excellent. But the whole experience was a little weird, almost like I was having a lunch at a quality nursing home cafeteria with a very excellent chef. And you know what...? I think I like it.

We came here tonight because I had a memory of bread from 5 years ago. Good thing I did, because it was awesome. Imagine warm, soft on the inside, slightly crunchy on the outside bread, dipped in an olive oil marinated with basil, garlic, and red peppers. As you scoop up some of the fresh basil still in the oil you will thank me. My oldest son got the 12oz New York steak special. It came with Alfredo, and asparagus. (Also comes with bleu cheese on top but he declined it). He practically licked the plate clean, and raves about the steak the whole time. My younger son got the Alfredo, and devoured every bite. My husband got the salmon with shrimp and said it was very good. The salmon cane skin one, which he loves, and the skin was still crispy. I got spaghetti, which was fine, but not as good as my bread. My son finished it off with their dark chocolate cake, which smelled like heaven, and from the look all over his face, tasted like it too

Friday night is my fiances, and I date night. Decided to go somewhere a little different, so we went downtown to The Golden Nugget. There were many beautiful looking restaurants to choose from. My guy loves Italian, so we chose The Grotto. The first thing we noticed walking up was the romantic setting and beautiful light fixtures. The host up front Cindy was very gracious and kind. I loved her red glasses matched the red and orange of the light fixtures we liked! I had a delicious red wine to start. Bread was soft hot and yummy! Jose was our waiter. He was amazing. Great customer service with a smile. He kept us with fresh hot bread. My favorite. My guy had the Sausage and Peppers Pizza. He said it was one of the best pizzas he ever had. And he is not particularly easy to please, so I was extremely impressed! I had the Pollo Francese. Ahhhmazing! Perfectly crispy chicken in a delightful lemon cream sauce. I was especially impressed with the management. A beautiful lady by the name of Brianna came to our table several times to check on us and make sure our food and service were on point. I noticed her making a stop at every table to make sure all customers were pleased. She was also jumping in to help her employees wherever needed, such as getting tables cleaned quickly and moving in the next set of guests. As a previous restaurant owner, I can tell she is definitely keeping the ball rolling! It is a prime example of good management. I am very grateful for our wonderful experience. We go out to a lot of places, and this is not the usual experience. Thanks to the whole staff and Brianna for making this one to remember. Keep up the good work!

I had been at the Golden Nugget pool all day and was craving carbs. I noticed this Italian resturant from the pool and thought perfect. The reviews were decent and the menu looked good. I was greeted and sat down promptly. My waitress was very friendly and gave me some good suggestions on which shows to see. The 1st experience of this place was going good. She brought me out some warm bread and some oil that had garlic and herbs in it. It was delicious. I thought things were promising. I decided to order the Mahi with shrimp, asparagus and instead of the potatoes I asked to sub them for angel hair pasta, which they did with no issue. The fish was cooked well and wasent dry and the shrimp was not over cooked. The reason for the lower rating is the sauce that smothered it. It was a weird tomato sauce that I feel really ruined the dish for me. The sauce and my taste buds didnt agree. I would have preferred the dish without it. If you order ask for the sauce on the side instead. Then you can be the judge.

Service was great! I like to talk and the server was willing to engage and gave a great conversation. The bolognese rigatoni was delicious! Definitely a must place to eat when staying at the Golden Nugget!

Service was amazing- couldn't have been more fun and helpful. Food was excellent- pizza, pasta and amazing bread. All the way in the back of Golden Nugget- worth it!

This restaurant is nicely located overlooking the main casino in the Golden Nugget. It's a great venue to eat & drink from the comfort of the bar while strengthening your resolve to return to the blood bath that is casino gambling. The bar service was very good. They met or exceeded our standards for beer, wine, and cocktails. They also made some really good craft cocktails that my life partner swilled with reckless abandon. We enjoyed the meatballs, thin crust pizzas, and stuffed mushrooms at the bar. We wouldn't rave about our dinners in the restaurant one evening, though, but we got fed. Service was always efficient & good natured. This isn't a restaurant to go out of your way to visit, but if you're staying at the Golden Nugget, I think you'll find yourself here having a good time before returning to the adventures to be experienced in the casino. 3.5 Yelp stars!

Excellent food and service! I had the chicken with lemon butter sauce, artichoke hearts and mushrooms. Delicious. Open late on weekends too

The service was very good, but to be honest, the food was not. The salad was decent, but both of our entrees came out lukewarm, and the red sauce was oddly sweet. The lasagna was buried under a mountain of mozzarella cheese, and the noodles were mushy. We were both scraping the cheese off of our entrees because there was so much of it. Not sure if they were having an off day, but for those prices I expect better quality? We ended up taking most of the food to go (and giving it away) and had a late night snack elsewhere to make up for the dinner.

90th Birthday Party with 30 guest. The wait service was amazing. We ordered from full menu and food was hot and delicious, great job kitchen. Wonderful time for us all. Thank you.

Had a nice lunch at Grotto the last time we were in town. We were meeting my junior high school classmates for lunch. Our flight got in a little before lunchtime so we made our way to Downtown soon after retrieving our rental car. Grotto is located inside the Golden Nugget Casino & Hotel. I'm very familiar with the Nugget having stayed there in the past but had never dined at Grotto. One of our classmates is a Vegas local and suggested dining there. It was definitely a good call. We ordered calamari for our table and I went with the grilled chicken panini minus the mozzarella. It also came with roma tomatoes and mayo. The sandwich was very good. The grilled chicken was tasty and not dry. The chicken was also cut into pieces and I was real happy with it. The waffle fries the panini came with were very good. I really liked them. Nicely seasoned and went well with the panini. Good sandwich. I would get again in the future. The plate came with a small bowl of ketchup for dipping the waffle fries. I liked that. Other entrees ordered at our table were the portabello panini, pizza and pasta bolognese. Everyone was very happy with their individual orders. The calamari was great. It came with marinara dipping sauce and lemon to squeeze accordingly. Great appetizer. Service was good. Water for everyone. A moscow mule. sodas... All brought to our table with a smile. Manager on duty was very personable and we enjoyed our meal at Grotto for sure. Definitely a place to check out when at or around the Nugget.

I enjoyed the LaSagna and the Tiramisu. Oh my goodness, very delicious. You could taste every ingred in the lasagna. The very first bite of the tiramisu, I was in love. ENJOY!!!

Food wonderful. Pasta, pizza, bread so good (couldn't stop eating it) Service great!

I had a BOLOGNESE and it was great! I didn't know casino hotel can serve this kinda food!

I visited on a hot Saturday afternoon for 1:45 PM late lunch. My friend was fiending for Fettuccine Alfredo and we were in the Downtown area for the day. Service: 2/5 Our waitress tried her best, but didn't keep the drinks and water filled on a very hot day. For lunch they sat us across in a dining area across the walkway of the main dining room which was very warm because of the glass walls right by the pool. The food came out timely but we had to find her on numerous occasions for drinks and to eventually close out the bill. Food: 3/5 The calamari portion was large and very good, Tasty and cooked perfectly. My rigatoni was very good. The sauce and the pasta were great and complimented each other well. My friend ordered the chicken fettuccine alfredo and she added shrimp to the dish. The shrimp and the chicken were fine but the sauce and the pasta were average at best. The sauce didn't have enough cheese and the pasta seemed liked something you could buy at the grocery store and unfortunately didn't meet our expectations. The Cheesecake topped with strawberry sauce was excellent. Big slice and was the perfect amount of creaminess for a cheesecake. Value: 3/5 The lunch chicken fettuccine alfredo was $16 and adding shrimp was an additional $9.95. If the sauce and pasta were better, I might be ok with this as they gave good portions of shrimp and chicken. The Rigatoni at $18 was fine but I've had better for similar pricing. With so many great Italian food options in Las Vegas, they're falling a little short in terms of what you pay for vs what you receive. Tito's and Tonics were $10.50 a drink here. Ambiance: 3/5 The Main dining room looked nice, but they sat all but two parties in the area across the way by the pool. I'm sure it's a different ambiance in the dining room at night but I'm rating on sitting in the hotter area by the glass walls overlooking the pool. Summary: I feel like this is one of those restaurants where their best performance comes out in the evening. If I'm in the area for an evening and I'm feeling Italian food, I'm willing to see how the dinner experience is as compared to their average mid-afternoon lunch. Italian food downtown as in life, timing is crucial sometimes. Enjoy... =)

The food was amazing it was really good and the portions are pretty big. The service is great the server was really nice and gave the best service I've ever received. Briana was very welcoming and very friendly.

This place is great. The food is delicious, but unfortunately they are only open 2 days of the week. I had their lasagne and it was delicious. Ooey gooey and cheesy!!. Kids had pizza which is hard to mess up. Alsp very tasty. Wife had the seafood medley pasta which was also spot on. Cant wait to go back!!

After a long day at the Mob Museum we decided to walk to Fremont st. And get us something to eat. Walking into the Golden Nugget we found this restaurant located right next to the casino that looked promising. The restaurant wasn't busy at first so we were sat right away. I was surprised that I couldn't smell smoke since the casino was right next door. Staff was quick to greet us and bring bread with a sauce dish with olive oils and chopped garlic; very tasty but it would have been nice to have a bigger dish for the olive oil since all we got was olive oil bread since the garlic was at the very bottom. We ordered the Bruschetta and it was so yummy. (Sorry guys I took no pictures; I was so hungry we just dug into the food) and then came the food... presentation was beautiful and matched the taste. We decided to share all meals. I chose the lasagna $18-mine was the favorite of everyone. My sister chose the Chicken Marsala $21- I truly enjoyed this one, I'm not a fan of mushrooms but everything mixed very well that you didn't have that potent mushroom taste. My mother chose the Chicken Parmigiana $21- also very tasty, the marinara sauce was delicious. The food was so good I really paid no attention to the service but now that I think about it food was out quickly and staff worked as a team to clear empty dishes and refill if needed. I will definitely come back here again the next chance o get.

Every time we stay at the golden nugget, we have to eat here. They moved from the casino floor to the Carson tower across from Star Bucks. Tonight we started zucchini crisps. Don't get me wrong , it was good. But I would have enjoyed it more of it thicker pieces. But it is called zucchini crisps. So you get is described as. My entree was the salmon solento. Substituted the pea risotto for capellini pasta. It was be every flavorful. It tasted like piccata with a hint of tomatoes. The big chunks of crab was the icing on the cakes.

If I can give this place a 0 stars I would . We went to dinner on a Saturday night . Mind you the restaurant wasn't packed at all . We were seated immediately but it took our waiter forever to even get our drink orders . We ONLY ORDERED WATER ! That took 20 minutes and the water was disgusting. Our waiter was handling everyone else but us . I ordered the pasta and my friend ordered the pizza . When I say no flavor ! I've never been more disappointed in a high scale restaurant. I would not recommend.

If the service wasn't TERRIBLE, Grotto would have gotten 4 stars because the food was delicious, but I am holding a grudge because of the service. Located in the Golden Nugget on Fremont Street in DTLV, it is an upper-scale Italian restaurant. I got the chicken parm, which was disproportionate with the pasta to chicken ratio...you'll be able to see in the attached picture. There is legit one scoop of pasta and a chicken the size of my head. It was still v good despite this. Also got the calamari and lobster bisque for appetizers, also tasty. But now for the airing of grievances: I had to probably wait 20 minutes after the rest of my party's food came with no apology from the wait staff for my meal. The service all around sucked, if I'm being frank. Our water glasses were always empty. The waitress forgot to bring out the lobster bisque soup, so we got it after dinner was served - isn't soup the appetizer (???!!!) Took forever for our cocktails and not once did they check up on us. It was a Friday night, so I would give them the benefit of the doubt if it was busy, but it wasn't...we were a party of 6 and ordered over $300 worth of food and beverages and got the worst service ever. We will not be back here and I would advise you to chose a different place if you are in the area visiting.

Today decided this was a needed food adventure. The Grotto is a Michelin recommended restaurant, so that being said it was a must. The restaurant is situated across from the pool, so if your seating is in that area, your able to watch the shark tank as you feast. There is lots of table seating, an extensive wine rack plus modern art on the walls. Very nice atmosphere. Today we took advantage of their $15.00 (2) course menu, plus dessert, and hot tea ( which comes in a box for you to select ) We ordered the Lasagne Forno, Tomato soup ,Rotisserie Chicken, Caesar salad, Lime Gelato, and Strawberry Cassatta ( their signature dessert) The food was wonderful in taste, I especially loved the Cassatta you can taste the almond in every bite. Our server was very personable and accommodating. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal and would recommend. Location is The Golden Nugget- parking is garage, street, or lots.

My boyfriend and I went here for lunch and took advantage of the 2 course meal for $15. I had the Italian grotto salad and scallopini with chicken grotto. Both items were extremely delicious. I especially liked the portion size of the main meal as it was just the right amount to feel like I didn't overindulge. The chicken with mushrooms and lemon garlic sauce was was so flavorful. I also had the tropical sunset which I loved as I enjoy sweet drinks. My boyfriend had the tomato basil soup and lasagna dish and loved every bit of both. We both cleaned our plate leaving nothing behind. Waiter and service was excellent. I highly recommend.

Looking for something a little more upscale while staying or visiting the Fremont Experience/Street? Well this is the place for you. The Grotto is located inside of the Golden Nugget and is a little hidden. You have to actually go through the whole casino and walk towards the pool with the sharks in the large tank. Service is wonderful, the food was alright and prices are a little higher then you would get a say Olive Garden and such. I was with a largish group, but that was no problem for them as they were able to get some tables together quickly. Joan, our waiter, was very attentive and could answer any question you could have about the menu including her awesome suggestion of the waffle fries for the kids in our group. I ordered the homemade roasted chicken ravioli which came with soft polenta, mascarpone, roasted red pepper cream & herbed velouté. What half of that means? I have no clue, but it was not too shabby. Before my meal was brought out we were served some warm bread with oil. It was bread, it was good, no complaints there. As far as the raviolis... I was expecting multiple small ravioli's, but it is really just one big ravioli. The flavors went well together and created a nice warm meal on a cold Vegas day. Overall it was not too bad, would I go back? Maybe if I was in the mood for non-fast food and or I wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Fremont Experience.

I'm part of the laundry select club .. This is one of there restaurant We were waiting for a while before the hostess acknowledged us she sat 2 couples that's got here after us Then she was very rude and made a comment about the happy hour I don't drink Made me feel like she didn't want us to eat here We got seated Order there chicken lunch plate It was a hot plate but chicken was cold and flavorless potatoes sucked I wouldn't recommend this place if you are Hispanic I feel she was a racist

Very happy we "stumbled" on this spot. We left the Mob Museum hungry and a quick yelp search for dinner brought this place up. The food was great as was the service! Definitely get the stuffed mushrooms! Pizza are large enough to share Stuffed mushrooms, fettuccini alfredo, a margarita pizza and one beer =$51

Just okay for what we had. First the positive and then the negative on this place.... Clean, friendly staff, decent choices on menu, not a dive, nice pizza oven and the Chicken Parmigiana was good 8/10 my pasta dish Paglia E Fieno Con Pollo really lacked flavor and didn't have much prosciutto at all , but was filling 6/10. The Bruschetta was great except the bread was not toasted very well and was limp beyond the outside crust. Would I come here again or try a new spot??? I'll be trying a new spot before I come back. Idk maybe it was an off day for the chef

Pizza bland, over dressed salad. Water was good. Waiter was nice. Both else to say about this place. Maybe should try pasta

Pizza Dough raw. Raw. Restaurant not at all busy.Pretty disappointing. No taste. Expensive water of time and $

Had dinner here ordered Pepperoni Pizza the waiter was most gracious and the pizza was outstanding. Very authentic and delicious had Red Sangria with our meal that topped it off. Most Definitely Recommend The Grotto!

Nice place located at the golden nugget. First off, we had to ask if someone was running the table after being seated for over 5 minutes with no service. Host was pleasant and friendly and kicked it off for us. We just happened to make it for happy hour. $10 pizzas! Score! Considering they're almost $20 on the regular, I'd much rather pay the less. Meat pizza and pepperoni were the choices. They were good. Thin crust, plenty of toppings. I probably could've eaten a whole pizza by myself-so, they're not huge or anything. My mom ordered a $20 bowl of chicken Alfredo. The portion was snack size it was laughable. Pictures weren't taken because, I forgot AND Hands clean, no touching of the phones! Ha! It really was not worth the price. It was bland too y'all! For the price of the food and the very limited menu, the only thing I'd go for is happy hour pizzas!!

This was a great find near Fremont Street. All of the nicer "sit down" restaurants were booked solid and require a reservation. There seems to be a big gap between the really cheap fast casual type places and the actual fancy sit down places. Fortunately, there's Grotto to fill the gap perfectly. Six of us were looking for a place to eat with no reservation and we couldn't get in most places until late. Someone recommended we try the Grotto and we were able to sit at a high-top near the bar after only a 15 minute wait. It was perfect. The pizza is really good. I was surprised at how good the salads were and the service was really excellent. I agree with the comments about the Venetian dessert, it's worth saving room for. Overall, this is a great place for a nice casual sit down meal in the otherwise crazy world of Fremont / Nugget. I was really glad we ate here
