We recently celebrated a birthday with friends at The Grove, and once again, it was the perfect…read morechoice. We are regulars here and one of the reasons we keep coming back is simply how we are treated. Luis and his wife Jenn, the owners, are incredibly gracious hosts and have always made us feel more like family than customers. They also really know their wine, and that has become one of our favorite parts of going to The Grove. From our very first visits, they somehow remembered what we liked. We've gotten to the point where we don't even ask for a wine list anymore. We just tell them to choose for us, and they hit a home run every single time. This particular night was extra special because our friends drove almost an hour to join us for the birthday celebration and had never been to The Grove before. Of course, when you rave about a restaurant and convince friends to drive that far, you're secretly hoping it lives up to everything you've told them. It absolutely did. We started by sharing several appetizers, including the calamari and mozzarella bread, and then everyone went in different directions for dinner. We had veal Marsala, veal Parmesan, a shrimp Caesar salad and mushroom risotto for our vegetarian friend. Every single person at the table loved their meal. Then came dessert, which may have been my favorite part of the entire night. Along with a variety of desserts, we had these wonderful little Italian pastries, and Luis and Jenn suggested a particular dessert wine and told us to dip the pastries into it. I would NEVER have thought to do that. It sounded a little unusual, but we trusted them -- and it ended up being the surprise star of the night. Absolutely delicious. We finished with espresso, more wine and great conversation with Luis, Jenn and their wonderful team. Nobody was rushing us out the door. We were simply able to sit, laugh and enjoy the end of a really special birthday evening. Best of all, our friends were incredibly impressed and completely understood why we love this place so much. Five stars all day, every day from us. The Grove has never disappointed us, and there is something pretty special about having a restaurant where you walk through the door and genuinely feel like they're happy to see you.

Great crisp and crust, a bit to much tomato sauce for our liking but still great pie. I had the linguine with clams in a white. Great taste, al dente. But way to much olive oil . But lots of clams. Pasta fagioli was on point. Meatball apps were great. Good sauce. Eggplant app was very good also. But the star of the show was the cannoli was like gramma used to make. Not sweet, just simply fresh and good. When I go back and we will being we live in Hobe. I am hoping they can tweak a few things. If not I will still go. Thank Lara for service of and beyond

I was…read moretold I had the duck but, honestly it obviously didn't leave an impression one way or the other. Why I had duck at an Italian restaurant is beyond me. Clearly it was not the dish to try. However, that was not the experience I had with my most recent visit. The Ambiance The ambiance is a cross between your typical Italian restaurant with wallpaper scenes of Italy and a sports bar with photos of baseball players (predominantly my team, the Yankees) and a Tom Brady wall when he was with the Buccaneers. There's high-top tables and bar seating in the bar area and a large dining area in the dining area. The Service Efficiency with a smile would be the best way to describe the service. It seemed like everyone had a job and each person filled that job to perfection. Tables were cleaned as soon as they were messed, dishes were cleared as soon as they were done, drinks were refilled immediately all with a smile and the utmost of courtesy. As a restauranteur, I must say I have never seen such efficiency and professional courtesy all in one package. The Food If you like big dishes, one's that provide enough leftovers for a week, you'll love this place. If you like fantastic Italian food, this is the place for you, if you enjoy a great dessert, you'll find one right here. For our appetizer, we shared the Calamari. It had a crispy crust and a uniquely chewy, yet tender interior. My lovely bride chose the Chicken Piccata over a bed of Angel Hair Spaghetti. The chicken was oh so tender with just the right lemon in the sauce to add a bit of zest. I chose the eggplant parm with rigatoni and sweet Italian sausage. The eggplant, although a bit thicker than I like, was covered in a crispy layer of melted mozzarella cheese. The eggplant was tender and tastefully finished with a nicely seasoned breading. The entire dish was amply topped with a robust marinara sauce. The accompanying rigatoni was a bit too thin for me but was cooked Al Dente to perfection. For dessert, we chose the tiramisu and peanut butter pie. Both were excellent with the tiramisu featuring just the right blend of coffee and cream. The peanut butter pie was oh so creamy and finished with a sprinkling of chocolate. Both were a fitting way to end a great dining experience. The bottom line The bottom line as always with my reviews is my "customer so what" ... would I come back? I'm sure you know the answer based on my above review. Although pretty expensive for an Italian restaurant... $150.00 for a party of two, the size of the dishes is big enough to provide leftovers for another two dinners, I definitely would return and if you haven't been there, it's definitely worth the trip.

The House Special is truly a "work of art", loaded with peppers, onions, black peppers, sausage. The sauce on both pies convinced me it's homemade sauce, and the crust on the Staten Island pie was crispy and chewy - the hallmark of a genuine NY pie. The ambiance was nostalgically-nothing-fancy-simple -chairs-&-tables. I just wanted to stay there and soak in the feeling of simpler days. The steady flow of customers I saw, while waiting for the House Special, was evidence that many people in the area know how good the food in this hidden gem is. To the people working hard behind the counter - GRAZIA!! The work you do every day brings a comfort to each household who take your food home to the dinner table to share with their family and friends. Can't wait to try your calzones and subs!!
