  • 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.

    I had scallops over risotto, excellent, my wife had branzino which she said was a bit overdone/dry for her preference. The server offered to bring something else, free dessert, etc. The service there is worth going, and the food overall is very very good, we sat on the patio in July and it was pleasant. My wife thinks it's the best restaurant experience in the city.

    Food is exceptional. Had a weird experience with service where we had 2 different servers alternating for orders, and I had to walk up to the host and get them to find someone to bring my check after waiting for 20 minutes.

    From the moment we arrived the staff was attentive and friendly. Our special occasion, our anniversary, was honored throughout the evening by staff and we felt well taken care of. The wine selection was fantastic and the meal was delicious. We will be returning.
