Great late lunch at Grottos. We hadn’t been in a while. Had family in from out of town. Great place. Food was of excellent quality. Service was very good - professional wait staff. The mushroom gnocchi was phenomenal. Waiter offered the ladies $5 Bellinis. They loved them!

We were greeted at the front desk by the Manager who gratuitously took us to our table. Our waiter was very friendly and professional. Food was prepared as requested. This was truly a great experience. I highly recommend Grotto for any type of affair.

They were vacuuming the whole time during dinner service, the waiters were trying to pick up food in the middle of us eating even though we weren’t done at all, and it felt like we were completely rushed, even though it was empty. Food was decent, but I don’t think it was worth 60 bucks for two plates to be rushed out of there. Would not recommend.

We enjoyed having lunch at Grotto. We both had the Grotto salad, the chicken scallopini, and the wedding cake. Everything was delicious. Our server, Chris did an excellent job and provided outstanding customer service. As well, the manager is always personable, welcoming, and does an exceptional job.

We were in Houston for four nights on this trip and ate at Grotto for two of them. The food is delicious and the ambience is elegant and relaxing. It’s a pleasure to dine in a restaurant where the weight staff is properly trained, and genuinely cares about your dining experience. Best of all, management stops by every table to make sure that everything is perfect. It made our visit to Houston very special to spend to such enjoyable nights dining out at grotto.

We always enjoy our dining experience at Grotto. The service is excellent as well as the food. If there is or isn’t a reason to go I’ll always agree to have lunch or dinner at Grotto. Keep up the consistent great service and food. Something to take note of. We happened to have a late dinner last night and enjoyed watching the crew scrub that kitchen down from top to bottom. The care that goes into food safety and preparation is paramount and often overlooked by the patrons. Kudos to the management on making everything right
