Serving the finest in Northern & Regional Italian Cuisine, La Grotta offers old world charm and friendly, first class service and is located in the heart of Buckhead. A local favorite since 1978, La Grotta has received Best of Atlanta Award from Atlanta magazine since the mid 1980’s, prestigious DiRONA and AAA Four Diamond Awards since the early 90's.


La Grotta is tucked away in the heart of the Buckhead residential district and overlooks the lush gardens of the condo courtyard in which it is located. La Grotta literally means "the cave" in Italian and was named such for its cavernous and warm setting. The La Grotta staff is also well known and regarded for its vast knowledge of its customers, the food, diverse knowledge of languages (our staff speaks Italian, Spanish, French & German) and attention to detail. The menu specializes in Northern Italian cuisine with seasonal changes to reflect freshness of ingredients with a focus on locally grown produce.

    Brett is the best server ever! The entire staff is really great. They even keep record of your previous orders which is so old school and makes for exceptional customer service. Favorite Italian in the city.

    La Grotta is easily our favorite restaurant and Atlanta's best kept secret. The service from the moment you reach valet and take the elevator ride down is THE BEST. We look forward to our bi-annual visits and can't wait to be back.

    Dinner here is always a special treat for my wife and I. We went last night for an early Valentine's Day celebration and the food and service was on point. We make a 45 minute drive to dine at LaGrotta and it's worth it.

    Love this place. Food and Service are consistently A+ but tables are packed in a little too tight and noise is high for table conversation. But will keep coming.

    La Grotta never disappoints. While the food is great, it is the service and pacing that makes the entire experience so wonderful. No pressure to order, no rushing you out after you’re done. Instead of just a meal, it becomes a wonderful event.

    I’ve lived in Atlanta and never knew La Gratta existed. What a wonderful experience we had; the food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the environment was lively and entertaining.
