We had a bottle of wine for dinner which was very good. Our appetizers were truly delicious ! We had the bruschetta ( three different kinds: zucchini , eggplant , broccoli rabe). Our favorite was the zucchini. We also had the parmigiana alla chef (I think that's what it was called). It was like eggplant parmigiana to us, very tasty! For dinner we had risotto and steak. Prices were very reasonable. Overall it was a wonderful night and we got to eat outside :)

The whole place seemed disorganized. The prices are exhorbitant. We regularly eat at restaurants in San Francisco at home and these prices were even higher than we encounter in sf.

We came here with a large group and had the entire back of the grotto to ourselves. Service and food were amazing here and major points scored for the location.

The ambiance is pleasant, the venue is conveniently located, and the food is exceptional! Thinking back over my meal, the dish that stands out most in my memory isn't an entrée, it's a side dish. The chips they make here are excellent; wonderfully well fried, very crispy, and totally delicious :-) There's also an extensive and affordable wine list; you're bound to find something wonderful if you take the time to look.

Don't know why all the low ratings on Trip Advisor as they're all Italian but I loved this place. At first, wait staff was a little hurried and you could see frustration on their face as our order wasn't fluid. I like to take my time and understand the menu. So, I eventually went up to the counter and broke the language barrier but pointing to what I wanted with the aid of Google translator. In the end they recommended the Italian beef. Salads were great as well as the fries. Other cool thing was the camera in the kitchen so you could watch the chef. My wife raved about the pizza but my steak was so large I didn't go near it.
