La Grotta
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.

My favorite restaurant in Atlanta by far!!
Amazing meal. No sign of corona virus here!! Packed at 8:30 tonight. Everything was great except the service was awful.
Awesome food!
Amazing !!!! Not too much else to say.
Loved the food and the service, highly recommend.
The best Italian food in Atlanta. Service was impeccable. We celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday, and they treated her like Royalty. This is as good as it gets in Atlanta for both food and service.
I have to say that the food was absolutely delicious! A bit pricey but nonetheless, delicious! The wait staff was wonderful and very attentive except towards the end of the meal when the place got busier. I had to flag the waiter down to bring us the check. I would have wanted the tables to be spaced out a bit further than they were. During our meal, which was a joyous occasion, there was a lady who was obviously not happy with how things were going at her job and we got to experience it like we were at her work with her. She was just loud, obnoxious, and rude.
I am not one to write reviews unless it was memorable in either direction. It was my second time at La Grotta. Tony was our server - he made us feel very welcomed. Professional, funny and intuitively attentive without ever making us feel rushed or ignored. He made a work dinner a special night. The food was incredible too. If you ever wanted to try quail, this is the place to do it. It was cooked to perfection and the sauce .... oh the sauce!
Pretty great, except the clams which they removed from the bill. Otherwise it was a great meal and experience.
Food is excellent with good portion size.
Myvwife and I celebrated our 35th anniversary at La Gtotta and it was a wonderful experience. Great food, superb service and warm atmosphere is a winning combination.
Excellent wine . Great food and service. Room was a little loud, but a lot of happy folks tend to make some noise. Would go again.
The food was amazing.
Consistent, classic, always a notch above in all arenas!
Impeccable dining experience.
Everything was excellent. This is a must place to dine
Wonderful
I have a difficult time picking an entree
Always a favorite! Never disappoints!
Everything was amazing! I’ll admit that the outside does look like a retirement home lol but once you make it inside, it was lovely. The food was A++
A great restaurant! Fantastic meal, excellent wait staff, friendly manager. Really a to notch experience. Highly recommended.
The service was quite good; the ambiance very nice; however, the food was really much below what it shoujd be for a fine, expensive restaurant
Great for a special occasion!
We dined here for a friend’s birthday. It was easy to make the reservation and multiple times were available on the day that I chose. We were greeted prompted by valet when we arrived (it’s complimentary). Once inside, we were greeted by the host who wished my friend a “Happy birthday” along with each staff who we encountered. The service was great! Food & drinks were excellent.
Hello
To be Honest.. Very Very Disappointing .
They could not get us out fast enough for the next seating ... not even to talk ... Faster than The Fastest CHINESE Restaurant... all my party annoyed ... we went to another location afterward to have a post dinner chat !
La Grotta is always a classic, delicious dining experience. Second to none in Atlanta.
La Grotta is absolutely fabulous, as always! I love this restaurant, and their exquisite service, and authentic food.
AMAZING!! As always!! The staff and food are just wonderful!
Date night before Valentine’s Day. The male server with glasses talks entirely too long to each guest. The only reason I’m aware of this is because he was louder than everyone in the restaurant
La Grotta is our favorite "special occasion" restaurant. Everything about it from the service to the food is outstanding. We look forward to our next dinner which will probably be my wife's birthday next month!
Wonderful!
As always, the service and food at La Grotta were top notch. We were seated immediately upon arrival. Our waiter was quick to share with us all the specials. We enjoyed the beef carpaccio and mussels before having our main courses. It was my wife’s birthday and so when our dessert order came out she had a candle in her dessert and they brought us complementary champagne. An incredible and unforgettable experience. If you are looking for authentic Italian cuisine in a cozy environment you cannot pick a better place.
Fantastic food and great unique venue in the basement. It’s very loud and close proximity to others, so know going in you will be yelling your conversation with all the other guests however the venue and quality of the food was fantastic.
I didn’t understand why we had two waiter changes, the first was world class incredible with great suggestions. The 2nd was below average with a poor personality and no time for suggestions. Guess they do tables by teams, which takes away from the experience in my opinion. Would rather wait for quality but to each their own, the place is crazy busy and I’ll be back.
Tip: you can request the truffle pasta as an appetizer, it’s fantastic.
We love La Grotta! The first time we went, we did not know what to expect because it is located below a condo/apartment. However, once stepping off the elevator, we were pleasantly surprised. The food and service are outstanding and they are extremely accommodating to provide offerings that are not necessarily in the menu! We will always eat at least once at La Grotta every time we are in Atlanta!
Amazing food and the best service!!
Exquisite dining experience. The food and service were phenomenal. Fresh made pasta -no additional explanation required .
Our favorite restaurant in Atlanta. Food was wonderful and the service as always was exceptional. Can’t wait to go again.
Best restaurant in Atlanta by day. Service is perfect. Food is awesome. Great vibe. We went for our anniversary but we will be back for day to day celebrations.
My only rec is you have to eat here, if you dont - you are missing out!
So great. We will definitely go back
Server incorrectly brought out the pasta before the steak vs being brought out together. They tried multiple times to remove my plate with pasta still on it. Drunk guests kept singing songs ruining everyone’s time. Drunk guest picked up my dates purse and placed it on the table.
Celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday. Great food, great service, great time! Thank you!
