Went on 2/20 witha couple friends after seeing a show at the Opera House. Nice walk from Theatre Dist. (10-15 min) Nice location on Beacon Hill just past the State House.

had to have the duck here...yum more

Nice little spot in Beacon Hill. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed... They dont have a full bar menu so you can't be ordering the Girly Martini's. The gnocci/short rib dish was great but a bit salty and the duck was tasty. Belinis are a nice finish to the evening more

Wasn't the best service (someone got the wrong dessert, everything took FOREVER, etc.) but the food is FABULOUS. Get the beef tenderloin with risotto - it is AMAZING. The banana bread pudding w/caramel ice cream is really nice too! Great for romantic dates. more

We ate at Grotto during Restaurant Week (appetizer, entree, and dessert for $33). Great deal. The service was OK. Some of the servers were rather short with you and not trying to make your experience overly pleasant. The food was good, some dishes better than others. Appetizers: Cavatelle and fondue, both very good Entrees: Beef tenderloin with risotto was excellent.... more

Great food & wait staff! more

Such a sweet place. Quaint. Romantic. Food was fantastic! Service was great (it was a very slow night). more

Disappointed. We went during restaurant week & had an earlier reservation, so it wasn't that busy. We got stuck under the stairs, the food didn't come out hot and was just average. I had high hopes, but unfortunately don't plan to go back. more

cozy little italian place in beacon hill, who needs to go all the way to the north end in the middle of winter? more
