AMAZING! The pizza , the atmosphere, the workers I can’t believe I hadn’t been here and the prices are very reasonable. New taste buds were awaken w the chicken Bianca pizza , I refuse to get chicken on pizza because it’s frozen chicken and very weirdly texture but NOT HERE THIS CHICKEN THIS PIZZA WAS INCREDIBLE !!

Phenomenal. The service, environment, cocktails, all of it was absolutely amazing. The food is on another level. I didn’t think the next bite could be any better, the more things I tasted; the more I wanted to eat. It was absolutely mouthwatering. I wished I had better words. Houston is not always a fun trip with having treatment and medical appointments, but the Grotto was an excellent last minute decision. I will definitely be back!

My hubby and I celebrated our 30th anniversary at this restaurant. It was a great decision because we enjoyed every aspect of our dinner- our server was professional, the wine/drinks were excellent, and our food was simply delicious. It's not a place we can afford to go often, but definitely going back on special occasions 🥰.

It is so relaxing and beautiful restaurant. I love their seafood pizza, it is thin cut, so fresh and delicious. Price is not bad. I can hangout with my friends on the weekends here for fun. Recommended to everyone

We are still here eating! That’s how great this place is! Prices not as high as other local restaurants, food is excellent, drinks fantastic, service is amazing. Will absolutely return next time I’m in the neighborhood. I had the eggplant parm- tasted great!

My first time but won’t be my last . The food and service were impeccable . We had dinner reservations for 5:30 they were so on point from the moment we entered . Our waiter didn’t skip a beat from the moment he sat us at our table . They have a great nice happy hour with half price on cocktails, wine ,and small plates . Great menu we shared a dinner that’s how good their portions for dinner and appetizers . Highly recommend its beautiful … can’t wait to go back !

Great food. Recommend making reservations. Gluten free options such as pizza and pasta. The pizza and pasta was tasty. Just like everywhere, they could use more wait staff.

This place was such a gem! I ordered the short rib gnocchi, fritto misto, and peach bellini. All were delicious! The service and ambiance was also super great.
UPDATE: One year later and this place still puts a smile on my face as I’m sipping my bellini and enjoying all of the delicious flavors of my favorite meal :)

Casual dining with downtown style. Service, food and drinks were great. Walking distance from my hotel.

We had a nice meal at Grotto. Our food and drinks were solid but not next level especially compared to other options at a similar price range. The focaccia bread was a great appetizer and we enjoyed chopped salad and lobster bisque soup. The drinks we got were the gin and tonic and Italian Manhattan. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Grotto but feel there are better options in the respective price category.
Note- Grotto has valet parking for a fee.
