    Jeremy was a great server. We were celebrating our daughter's 21st birthday. The food was great, and he was able to suggest wines that went accompanied our meals well. Thanks, again.

    One of us had a seafood crepe and the other had veal medallions. The flavors were rich and wonderful. We highly recommend La Grotta.

    Outstanding food and service above and beyond!! Jeremy is the best waiter I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. He expertly prepared cocktails for all in our party and effectively entertained us while informing on menu and specials. He seemed more of a trusted friend than a waiter. I can strongly recommend La Grotta for both food and outstanding service!

    Very nice but they should not have guests box their own leftovers in styrofoam boxes at the table.

    Fabulous experience. I have multiple allergies and they were incredibly helpful to ensure my dinner was safe. The gluten free pasta is superb, wine list expansive, service attentive and delightful.
