• Italian • Long Beach

Booked 12 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!

Ambience was good. It was smaller than I expected. The ackee and saltfish with plantains was very tasty - I loved it! My friend has their chicken soup which she loved and it looked very tasty as well. I wasn't a fan of their curry chicken, but my friend had the salmon. I should have had that instead. My only complaint was the music. It was too loud. The music choice was great, just too loud. I was literally screaming so that my friend could hear me. The spicy mango margarita is a must try.
