  • 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.

    We chose La Grotta for our anniversary dinner, and we were delighted with our choice! Located on the terrace level of an older condominium building on Peachtree Street, La Grotta is an unassuming Atlanta dining destination. Once inside the restaurant, you will be warmly greeted by a well-trained staff. The dining room is an open space with tables and banquettes. There is additional outdoor seating in a lovely courtyard. We had requested, and received, one of the lovely banquettes which faces the dining room and terrace. Our waiter, Jamal, was attentive and informative. Everything we ate was delicious….a wonderful 3 cheese truffled pasta appetizer (they will serve an appetizer size of any pasta dish), a crisp Caesar salad (we shared one order which they split and plated separately), and we each ordered an entree….scallops for me and veal Parmesan for my husband. La Grotta’s famous tiramisu was the perfect finale! Loved our dinner in “Northern Italy”. Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

    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.
