Grotta di Fuoco, which translates to Fire Cave, is an industrial, rustic space with subtle lighting, raw steel, reclaimed wood, and concrete finishes. Step inside, descend below street level, and enter our vision of a cave. As for the fire, our focal point is a wood burning oven right next to the bar. You can sit close enough to feel the warmth, hear the crackle, and smell the scent of food being cooked, all while being entranced by the open flame. While Long Beach is rocking during the summer with the beach, Boardwalk, events, and outdoor dining, winter is when Grotta heats up. Open year round, the off season is the perfect time for out of towners to come to the West End for an unforgettable meal. We hope to see you all soon!

This restaurant runs on time so don’t be late for your reservation. It is small and they run it perfectly Carley our waitress was very accommodating. Everybody at the restaurant was so nice. The food was unique and absolutely delicious. We all got fish and the fish was cooked to perfection. The flavors in the entrées were superb .The only downside for me was that the chairs were a little uncomfortable. We 100% will definitely be going back.
