Grotto is probably impossible to find unless your looking. But if you do find it you will be pleased. For once It's a real italian joint without all the tourist attractions like alfredo sauce or pizza. The main dining room is long and narrow and gives me the feeling of being on an ocean liner with all the port holes and the underwater breathing apparatus on the walls. Its not cheesy at all, very classical and comfortable decor. Now I ate hear with a big group and found it surprising that it was empty but fortunately for us we had no trouble getting a table in the better of two dining rooms. There is supposed to be outside dining but in December I would have to drink a gallon of antifreeze to sit outside while dining. The menu was reasonable priced as was the wine list. Everything was italian. There were so many items on the menu I wanted to try I felt like a frat-boy at the playboy mansion. I ended up getting the pumpkin gnocci which I believe to be the best gnocci I have ever eaten. I followed with a duck special that was delicious. The best part was the dessert. They have the holy grail of Tiramisu and it was so good my face melted off. I loved this place and I recommend everyone try it!
