Sad to see this place go, but I hope the owner has a wonderful next stage in life. Definitely a date place here in a fairly hidden subterranean spot. The food tends to be a vary but a bit heavy. The short-rib gnocchi was excellent, with pillow-y gnoc

There's something about walking down a few steps into a restaurant that makes you feel like you're about to join a secret. Grotto has lived under Bowdoin Street for over two decades, a cozy little den of Italian comfort carved into the base

Perhaps a review is no longer needed as the place is closing soon; nonetheless, the food was excellent, with intense flavors and outstanding texture. I particularly liked the strong presence of garlic and rosemary, although it was not as appealing to
Delicious Pasta and Great Atmosphere”
Had a lovely dinner at Grotto during our time in Boston. We had the chicken parmigiana pasta and the pasta bolognese — both were full of flavor and really satisfying. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the service was friendly, and prices felt
One of my favorite spots in Boston.
Been coming here for more than 10 years. Love this place, the service, the menu, the vibe, it's all excellent. My only quarrel is that the prices have skyrocketed the last few years. Still worth it!
3.5 stars. Tucked into the basement level of a Beacon Hill
3.5 stars. Tucked into the basement level of a Beacon Hill neighborhood, this place is definitely one for dim lighting. We went for Dine Out Boston, however prices are not really that different from their usual multi-course prix fixe menu and did not

Wow! Small cozy and special! This Italian hot spot is definitely worth visiting. So good we didn't even take pictures. Great value, good sized portions and most importantly the servers and staff were on top of everything!
Incredible food! Great service, atmosphere was very
Incredible food! Great service, atmosphere was very romantic they really knew what they were doing. The Cod in Parchment was absolutely decadent. Definitely come here for date night or girls night! Wouldn't recommend any other place in Boston fo
Everything about this restaurant is great! Highly
Everything about this restaurant is great! Highly recommended. Awesome food, service, ambiance. Also, not as crazy as the North End
Truly one of the best restaurants I've been to having lived
Truly one of the best restaurants I've been to having lived in Boston for ten years. Everything was sensational and the staff & ambiance top notch as well. Cozy, romantic, not too loud. And the food.... Woah. The garlic soup, short rib gn
Excellent food and service.
We had a very enjoyable dinner. The venue is small and intimate. Very fun!
Dining experience out the window
I was in the restaurant industry for a decade bw 2000-2010. It was all about customer service, timing the meals properly and the dining experience. I was front and back of the house. I let it slide that this place did all bottled cocktails?? Bc I w
Worth a try
We needed a last minute reservation for a larger party and there was not much available in the North End so we decided to try this place on Beacon Hill. It's in a basement so don't be surprised when you arrive. I had the scallops and they w
Check your bill!!
Food was good. Service was not. I was overcharged. And it took stuff forever to make an adjustment. After 20 mins of waiting they brought exactly the same bill. Hoping I won’t notice??? Finally after another 10 mins it was corrected.
Best Bolognese Pasta Dish
Best bolognese dish I have ever had. My young son and I were able to get a table on a Sunday night without reservations. Even though I visited the Italian North End several times Grotto on Beacon Hill was the best restaurant of the trip. It is small
Great find
Had an early dinner here after looking round for somewhere with a menu that we liked the look of. Lovely ambience and friendly staff. Delicious scallops and apparently an excellent steak!
Lovely Dine-out week meal at Grotto! My friend and I split
Lovely Dine-out week meal at Grotto! My friend and I split the beet and goat cheese spinach salad and the sweet potato ravioli (sans bacon), both of which were phenomal! I almost got too full eating both of these. For my main, I had the mushroom riso

Went here for a date night and was a great setting for it! Got the duck confit (tasty and relatively cheap as an appetizer), the cozze mussels (whatever they put in the sauce was DIVINE, I wish I knew how to make it like that), the bolognese, and the
It is always great to.
Grotto is tucked into our neighborhood, and in my opinion one of the best Italian restaurants in the city.
Really nice date night dinner spot.
My wife booked it for my birthday and in short, the food was fantastic and the service spot on. Like a lot of restaurants in Boston, it's in the basement of a brownstone (so it felt) but the atmosphere inside is cozy enough and we were comfortable.
This place is such a hidden gem with warm and cozy vibes
This place is such a hidden gem with warm and cozy vibes all around. Glad the cavatelle is a primi dish, if it were an entree...things would get out of hand because the only thing wrong with it, is that it's too good. Moved onto the bolognese (some o
Hidden gem of Boston.
The mood is sexy, mature and elegant. The food is absolutely delicious and perfect every single time. And the staff is very knowledgeable and considerate. This is one of my go to places since I live close by and it's better than any north end restaur

Beware: Ask questions about the price of their so-called "pre-fix" menu before ordering. They seem to have printed the menu in the most confusing way possible in order to trick you into thinking that the pre-fix menu is an all-inclusive fix
The atmosphere in in a basement.
Very tight seating. The food was very good. The portions are small for the price but very high quality . The service is outstanding very accommodating. I would recommend this restaurant as a win win restaurant
Outstanding food and service.
We ate here Thursday night. I had the short rib gnocchi and my wife had the risotto. We both agreed to come back after we left.
Love the food but I always ask for leftovers and they never
Love the food but I always ask for leftovers and they never get returned???? Are the servers just eating the leftovers in the back?? Because that is gross
Our Grotto Experience
Grotto is located on a lower level in a building on Bowdoin St., just in the rear of the State House. It is an intimate dining room in the front, with exposed brick walls. The entrance is below a half flight of stairs- one needs to be careful at th
Grotto - Highly Recommend it!
A cute and quaint Italian restaurant in Boston in which we highly recommend! We were travelling to Boston as a group of 15 from out-of-town and Mallery was more than accommodating to seat our party. Despite being at 2 tables, the meals all came out a
Cute little French & Italian inspired restaurant.
A cute little restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Great Italian & French inspired menu. Good selection of wines etc… can’t fault the service either! Would 100% recommend.
Well kept secret in Boston!
Grotto, which mean cavern…If You are just passing by you might not stop but please do…wow it’s really a hidden jewel. Very good food, excellent service (Obe) and reasonable price. Limited but good wine selection mostly Italian of course. Try th
Great
Really enjoyed the food, service, and the decor. This is a must visit location when you're in the area. Hope to visit again real soon.
Mice for dinner???
We booked this restaurant because it was close to the hotel. I had a nice spinach salad but the raviolis were under cooked and the sauce overcooked. The chicken Parmesan was dry….furthermore mice were running around! Do not recommend this place!
Look down or you’ll miss it!
Great food and great service. We had the tenderloin and beef Wellington. Both were very good. It’s a small restaurant so a reservation would be a good idea.
Great Cozy Italian Restaurant
Nice cozy Italian restaurant on Beacon Hill. Service was spot on. We were there about 6pm before any rush so we had lots of attention. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. The brick wall, booth, ambiance is wonderful. Don't come here if mob
As wonderful as I remembered
I frequented the Grotto over a decade ago when I spent more time in Boston. I enjoy the steps down into the dining room and found the dining room largely unchanged. The service was very efficient and pleasant. Our food was wonderful. I came to the

Stel, Peter heeft een geweldige ochtend en besluit zijn drie vrienden mee te nemen naar Grotto Boston om 18:00 uur diezelfde dag.
Hij controleert de website van het restaurant en ziet dat er geen reserveringen beschikbaar zijn. Vervolgens bekijkt hij de Grotto Boston pagina op AppointmentTrader, maar ontdekt dat er ook geen aanbiedingen van andere gebruikers zijn.
Daar komt het door de community aangedreven biedproces van pas.
Peter kan een bod plaatsen op AppointmentTrader. Dit bod dient als beloning voor ieder communitylid dat helpt om de reservering te regelen. AT stuurt dan notificaties naar ervaren gebruikers die mogelijk kunnen helpen.
Stapsgewijs Proces
1.) Beloning Instellen (Bod)
* AppointmentTrader gebruikt historische data om een redelijk beloningsbedrag aan te bevelen voor het regelen van een reservering – stel, $100.
* Peter wil er graag heen, dus verhoogt hij het bod (de beloning) naar $200.
* Op dit punt bestaat de reservering nog niet.
2.) Een Communitygebruiker Neemt het Bod Op
* PerceptiveWash44, een ervaren AT-gebruiker, heeft veel succes met het regelen van reserveringen en ontvangt weinig terugbetalingsverzoeken. Zij ontvangen een melding van Peter’s bod van $200.
* PerceptiveWash44 neemt het bod op, wat betekent dat zij nu gaan proberen de reservering te regelen.
* Peter kan nu met PerceptiveWash44 overleggen als hij vragen heeft terwijl PerceptiveWash44 het bod probeert te vervullen.
3.) De Reservering Vinden
* PerceptiveWash44 gebruikt nu hun contacten bij Grotto Boston om de tafel te regelen.
* Als het lukt om de tafel voor vier om 18:00 uur te bemachtigen, krijgt Peter een bevestiging dat de reservering geslaagd is.
* Als PerceptiveWash44 de reservering niet kan regelen, gaat het bod terug in de pool zodat een andere gebruiker het kan proberen.
4.) Betaling & Bescherming
* Zodra de reservering is geregeld, ontvangt PerceptiveWash44 de $200 beloning, die wordt bijgeschreven op het AT-saldo van PerceptiveWash44. Gebruikers beheren hun eigen saldo en kunnen laten uitbetalen via opties zoals bankoverschrijving, PayPal of Zelle.
* Peter kan nu genieten van het diner met zijn vrienden bij Grotto Boston!
* Zoals bij alle transacties op AT worden geschillen en no-show kosten afgehandeld via het community-gedreven resolutiesysteem van het platform. Gebruikers met een sterke reputatie worden gestimuleerd om biedingen succesvol te vervullen, en communityleden kunnen problemen melden om het vertrouwen in de marktplaats te waarborgen.
