Grotto Downtown Houston

We had small plates and the salad, mussels and meatballs were very tasty. Drinks were well made: aperol spritz and sangria. Would like to come again for dinner. Very good service considering there was an Astros game and concert in the neighborhood.

I made this reservation a month ago anticipating high volume. We were seated at a table at the kitchen entrance AND the waiters' screen station. My party did not appreciate being in the middle of the swirl of crazed waiters.

Noise level was up but we were there for an Astros game so no big deal. Service was great, fast, attentive. Was there also for an anniversary which they acknowledged. Food value was great and food tasted fantastic. Highly recommend.

Had a very nice visit. I often entertain clients at Astros games... Grotto Downtown is a great spot to get drinks and food before or after the game.

My husband and I, along with our friends, stayed at the Marriott Marquis and decided to dine at an Italian restaurant. The Grotto ended up being a fantastic choice for our evening out. The menu offered a variety of intriguing dishes, so we decided to start by sharing some appetizers and then ordered four different entrees. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted delicious, especially when paired with a lovely Italian wine. We highly recommend saving some room for dessert. Our server, Louis, was very knowledgeable and provided excellent service. Both Louis and the food at The Grotto deserve a 5-star rating.
