DECADENT CUISINE. SUBTERRANEAN SETTING. Occupying an inconspicuous, subterranean spot on the back side of Beacon Hill, Grotto has earned itself high praise with imaginative, contemporary Italian cuisine. The dining room's exposed brick walls covered with

This small friendly restaurent feels like a neighborhood place. Four of us arrived on a rainy Thursday nite, with reservations, and had a short wait. However, the food and the friendly waiter were worth it. The menu is varied and encourages you to build your own 3 or 4 course dinner which is your own prix fix menu. This restaurant is near the base of Beacon hill on the back side of the Massachusetts state house and is a quiet refuge from the general hustle and bustle of Boston's North End. However, the food is as good as anything in the North End.

We went to the Brookline location for a special birthday celebration and enjoyed our experience very much. The ambiance is very nice and the service was outstanding. We decided on the 3 course dinner and was not disappointed. Some of us ordered the French onion soup and others ordered the salad to start. Both were delicious. The next course we ordered the duck and the salmon. Both were outstanding. I had never tried duck before so thought this would be the place to do so. I am so glad I did as I now know delicious it is. The last course was dessert and we ordered the assortment which consisted of a small chocolate mousse, crème Brule, and a small cake. Great way to top off a great meal. The server was great, very accommodating and attentive. I look forward to returning for another outstanding meal.

So excited when I discovered this European Style Bakery in Cambridge, persuading all my friend group to came in and tasted everything. We filled two boxes of delicious desserts, cakes, breads...however I could not believe when their manager denied to sell or give me a sample of the little bread used for their salads. It was NOT acceptable. I shared my experience with the Tatteâs Beacon Hill team which kindly offered the tiny roll for sampling (I was just curious, it was nothing special).Special location and pastries deserve a sweet managers.

We booked this restaurant for our 35 th anniversary. First off I will not complain about the food or the service both were good. But listen up folks. I read others reviews and I ignored them. Shouldnât have. This was the worst romantic dinner I have ever had. First of all this is a restaurant thatâs better for groups of 4. The two tops are on top of each other. I read that in others reviews but on top is exactement !!!!! We had a two top next to a 3 top on the left and a two top on the right and another table for two exactly 2 inches from us. We asked if they would not seat that as there were 7 2 tops at front empty. Nope we got a young Asian couple dressed down. Which means gym shorts and a hoodie and a t shirt and shorts next to us. Speaking loud the whole meal. NOTE. At the front door is a sign posted. Appropriate dress only. They were not Worthless sign since they donât enforce it It ruined our anniversary dinner Next another dinner here noted how dark it was As the evening progressed I could literally not see my meal and had to use my I phone to cut my duck. Not joking not making it up Go somewhere else for romantic meal. Again the food was good. The service was good. The restaurant is pretty for parties over 4 unless you like practically sitting on Other diners laps and eating in the dark

We were looking forward to trying this restaurant based on their many enthusiastic reviews regarding ambiance and food. Our experience was mostly disappointing. The Saturday we had lunch there was quiet and pleasantly well attended. We were greeted cheerfully and seated at a table next to the window. Due to a beam that extends into the interior, the table was a bit awkward to sit at, though we worked around that by moving the table quite close to the wall banquette. We were given water and menus promptly. We ordered our lunch choices and were brought a basket of warm bread and very soft butter.I ordered a green salad with vinaigrette, having overlooked that my sandwich would have that as a side along with French fries. Not a big problem - if I had enjoyed the salad. Alas the vinaigrette was oddly thick and bland and completely coated the large serving of baby romaine.The salad was garnished with flavorless tomato slices. We waited quite a while for our main course. My sandwich of pâté with cornichons was bland, with an oddly spongey texture (maybe defrosted?) It was not pâté-like; neither creamy nor rough. The identical salad was on the side, which I left untouched. French fries were good. My husband enjoyed his calves liver, the accompanying mashed potatoes were nothing special. Half a carafe of decent rose was delivered cool, not chilled.

This is not a restaurant, it's a gastronomical destination, prepare your palate for a feast, your emotions for a party, your mind to discover new and wonderful things that you never imagined. Travel by Uber, there is no place to park, enjoy creative libations and then call Uber again.
