About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for business meals
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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Antonio Abizanda

From the OpenTable editors: Open since 1978, this family-owned, AAA Four Diamond restaurant has been serving up refined Northern Italian dishes in one of Atlanta’s most romantic spaces. Enjoy exquisite pastas like pappardelle with lobster and classic mains like a marinated lamb chop with mint pesto in the intimate dining room with rustic brick walls or on the lush outdoor courtyard.

    La Grotta is a special experience. The service is exceptional, the wine list is terrific, and the food is incredible. The mussels in curry sauce is a must have and you will want extra bread to dip into the sauce. Whether you try seafood, fowl, or beef, you will not be disappointed. The lobster pasta is rich and buttery. The duck breast with cherry sauce delivers a warm contrast of sweet and savory. The tiramisu and coffee to cap the meal was a perfect way to end the meal.

    An Atlanta staple. Located in an old apartment on Peachtree, practically hidden, but worth finding.
