• Italian • Long Beach

Booked 22 times today

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!

Grotto never disappoints. I find the food great; something for everyone. Cocktail choices very acceptable and reasonable priced. The pizza is the best of the best. Total bill I find very moderate for what we had. We had a small pizza as an appetizer and a shrimp main course and a main course pasta and three alcoholic drinks and one soft drink. A little noisy but a wonderful dinner

Outstanding overall! Pros: Food was excellent (Yardbird was OMG, filet mignon sandwich was delish!), our server was great (don’t remember her name), and as an author, the ambiance was *chef’s kiss* fun! Cons: Wish it weren’t so loud, but it is what it is. And the wedge salad was meh - too much dressing and while it wasn’t bad, just didn’t love. But great restaurant and really great food!
