Been in the same location for years and years serving consistent Italian fare. It has a nice cozy atmosphere with genuine service. The food is old school Italian with an emphasis on good quality food in a romantic setting. As the name implies, it is indeed down-under in location. The winenlist is adequate if not exciting. All in all, worth... more

My wife and I are restaurateurs and we truly enjoy finding other fine restaurants in which to dine. We were so very excited about LaGrotta, although we had heard from some locals that it didn't always live up to the "hype." Nonetheless, we made reservations and forged onward--expecting a fun evening. We had already heard that it was in a... more

How La Grotta eked out an existence in a bomb shelter is a true testament to its straightforward, well-executed Italian cuisine, knowledgeable staff and the fact that there is nothing else to do in Atlanta (Aquarium, Coke (a-Cola) Museum, and the Underground…need I continue).

Stay in Buckhead was made more enjoyable all because of this gem of a place. Recommends the beef carpaccio with black trufle dressing, the goat cheese with spinach salad. Ordered the ravioloni con caprino and we shared the grilled salmon with pasta and saffron shrimp sauce. They were delicious. more

My husband and I recently returned from a visit to the Atlanta area and had noted La Grotta Italian Restaurant in Buckhead as a good place to visit for dinner. We are so happy that we did. The restaurant is actually located on the bottom floor of an apartment building, so upon our arrival we were not sure if we... more

The procutto di parma with grilled pears is the best appetiser in Atlanta. The best dessert is Tartufo. It is not on the dessert menu. You have to know to ask for it. It is ice cream dipped in hard chocolate. This is our go to restaurant for special occasions. more

Cozy atmosphere with great food and service more
