Oh my god! This place is an unassuming put packs a flavor punch...we stopped in after hiking to grab water at Foodlion. We were enticed.by the Smells of magic wafting in the air... We've sent there twice and never been disappointed. Looking forward to going back next time we are passing through. read more

Stopped in and sat at the bar, the draft beer selection is solid, with enough variety for everyone. I ordered a pizza and it was terrific: nicely blistered crust but not burnt and still soft, fresh toppings, and balanced flavors. Service was very good across the board, and the bartender was prompt and attentive. read more

I have driven past this place every day on my work commute for 5 years and have never stopped, mostly bc of timing. However, tonight we were returning to town too late to make dinner at home and pulled in. So glad we did. The pastas each of us selected were very good. I've heard the pizza is great but we didn't try it this trip. Portions were excellent. The ambiance isn't super Italian themed, but who cares as long as the food is good. Tonight there was a young and casual wait staff, but their service was good. read more

If you aren't starving, consider sharing, the portions of pasta are humongous. The food is super tasty. I got the stuffed eggplant. I never thought about making a eggplant lasagna, but that is kind of what it resembled but with bread eggplant. Definitely hit the spot. The kids had pizza, they seemed to enjoy it. Highly recommend. read more

Wood Fired Oven - a plate of spaghetti and meatballs - Italian Near Me - Grottoes, Virginia

Consistently fantastic! I have visited this restaurant many times and the food is always served piping hot and delicious. Friendly, attentive service. read more

Very good food. House made pasta. Friendly staff. Highly recommend. Will definitely go back.

Their prices on line do not line up with their prices in the restaurant. Even someone took pictures of the menu and posted it on their pages. AND those prices aren't right. I have complained about hair being in the food. The delivery driver bringing her child on her delivers and running around in my flower bed. Was told by Management this would stop. Delivers have been over an hour +. With no compensation. When you order their always forgetting something that suppose to go with the order. You call and they will say will give it to you on your next order. Well, I guess I'm eating a dry salad or no bread with my pasta. I love their food. But damn their organization skills and management skills needs a lot of improvement. read more

Not the woodfired oven we enjoyed 5 years ago. Pizza is much thinner and crust not as thick. Servers are in no hurry to wait on you. Last 3 visits have not been pleasant. Wrong pizza, waited 40 minutes, Servers sarcastic and to top it off they charge you to use your debit/credit card. read more

Yes it's in a grocery store shopping strip but it's a Gem! We waited a few minutes for waitress but once she came over she apologized for the wait and was very attentive the rest of dinner. Massive amounts of food for very reasonable prices and it was fantastic. This restaurant is nothing fancy to look at but your belly will Thank you and lets be honest, that's all I'm looking for especially on a long road trip! So if you're in the area, swing on in and fill up. PS you will need a nap after! read more

The foods outstanding but the atmosphere is like dining in an Italian villa inside an old worn out shoe. I'd recommend as long as you're not choosing it for a special event such as an anniversary or date night. Although they can't seem to keep enough wait staff the waitstaff they have does an excellent job. read more

My family went to eat there. The waitress seated us but never asked us what we wanted to drink. We sat there for almost 20 minutes and the waitresses walked past us but never acknowledged us. A couple came in after us and the waitress took their order. Another couple came in and they sat them behind us and got them something to drink. We got up and walked out and nobody stopped us and asked why we were leaving. When I called to tell them about my experience, the guy that answered the phone hung up on me. When we got there they weren't that busy. I was very disappointed with the service. I won't go back. read more

Came in a little off cycle, and they were prepping for dinner. Service was a little slow and lacking But the pizza was good and at a very reasonable price read more

This place is incredible!! My family is in the area for vacation, staying at Massanutten Resort. We stopped by for lunch on the way to the Grand Caverns. We ordered the Chicken Shish Kabobs, Veggie Calzone, New Jersey Calzone, and a BLT. All meals were AMAZING, the service was fast and friendly, and the prices very reasonable. We have eaten at a half dozen restaurants in the Shenandoah Valley area and another four in DC on this trip. Wood Fired Oven was by far the best!! We wish we found this place earlier in our trip, but even still we will be back!! read more

Love this restaurant - everything I have ever ordered has been very delicious!! This restaurant has been around for several years and always has patrons at the tables- and you can eat at the bar if you want!! You won't be disappointed if you stop to have Italian food - that's for sure!! read more

Great food and even better prices! Got the chicken parm,comes with a salad and a side of spaghetti for $12.99! Hugh portions!

We were pleasantly surprised with this place. Looks like a hole in the wall from the outside, but the inside is nice. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Prices were great, especially with portion sizing. I had the fried flounder and fries, and my husband had the lasagna. Both were good. Not the best we've had, but great for the price and size. read more

ordered a calzone and a stromboli. they were EXACTLY the same. they both looked like a calzone. the calzone was supposed to have meat and the stromboli was supposed to have pepperoni. both came in the same calzone form with veggies and no meat. asked them to redo the order with the meat and they did, but apparently a stromboli to them is the exact same thing as a calzone. stromboli is supposed to be long with folded italian meats in jt. if their stromboli is basically the exact same thing as their calzone, why is it even labeled as two different things on the menu?? soooo disappointing. i wish i could find a good stromboli out here. the flavor was alright. read more

I have been here on multiple occasions with multiple people, and I can't say we have ever had a bad experience. Food is good, I've had anything from cheese fries to calzones all cooked and tasted great. Pricing is in line with others in the area. read more

Went here after visiting the grand caverns. Pizza was very good. Medium size was like a large in most other places.

My boyfriend and I were staying in Grottoes and it was recommended we try this restaurant. The food was great and the service was amazing! We ordered the Cheeseburger sub and Shrimp Alfredo fettuccine. Our waitress, Rebecca, was amazing! She was kind and patient with us and was fun to talk to! We were floored when the chef (the owner's son) came out to apologize for the wait for my pasta... but I probably waited one extra minute! It was no trouble at all, but we were amazed and heart-warmed by the chef for coming out to talk with us. We highly recommend this place-- good food AND good people! read more

Took the kids to Grand Caverns and followed Yelp reviewers here. Food was great! The small white pie fed three of us, huge Stromboli and homemade chunky marinara. Very friendly staff and quick service. read more

Don't waste your time. This place is low end food service at high end prices. I purchased the chicken finger appetizer. It cost 5.99 with out tax...It came with 5 small chicken fingers that were just reheated... the Stake cost $20 and is small and grisly. Its definitely not USDA restaurant grade stake. The fries are ok though Wood Fire Oven gets 2 out of 5 stars read more

Very nice no frills restaurant, good food and generous portions and fair prices. Had the Frutti Di Mare with linguine and wife had the grilled tilapia with vegetables. Attentive service. read more

Clean inside. A few beers on draft. Pizza was good, not anything amazing though. Service was cheerful but man, really slow. If we were locals we wouldn't return unless we had plenty of time to spend. read more

If you're ever in the Grottoes area, this is the best actual meal you'll find. DO NOT GO TO CIRO'S! Trust me. The atmosphere inside is pretty decent for the area it's located in; classic Italian restaurant. The pizza is decently good, good pasta dishes, good prices and the staff (the few times I've been there) were always okay. Nothing to complain about with this place. read more

Consistently good food and good service! Pizza, pasta dishes, sandwiches, burgers- whatever you order you can't go wrong. A true hidden gem in the town of Grottoes. read more

Great eatery. Top-notch, food outstanding and service is impeccable. Grottoes is a quaint little town.
