Good place. My mussels were just okay, but my partner’s pasta was very good. My cocktail was also good. The polenta fries are a find, and I can see myself walking in for a glass of wine and a side of polenta fries at the bar. Will def try more Food at this place. GO!
Not everything is exactly the way that you prefer, but clearly there's somebody preparing food with skills. Some of the dishes are innovative, fresh, and memorable. Others are just good.
The sidewalk seating on a nice evening is always a plus too.
Always amazing food, owner/chef Andrew is the best of the best.....
The place never disappoints!!!!!
Highly recommend it
1st time visiting and it didn't disappoint! My apologies for not taking pictures of the cocktails but they were amazing and the bartender 🙌 I still have to go back and try their brick oven pizza as I saw it being freshly made to order and looked amazing. We just have a few apps and they were amazing check the pics! Overall 5 stars from the staff to food/drinks
We drove an hour to try this place and it was SO worth it. We ordered a ton of food and everything came out in a timely manner. Staff was super friendly, especially our waitress Marie! Everything was incredible but the pizza and gnocchi stood out to me the most. It was some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had! I’ve been to Italy twice and this pizza was by far better than the pizza I had there. You must eat here!!
The service was excellent, the food was fresh & satisfying. This was my first time going and really enjoyed the food. I didn't try the meatballs because it had nuts in them, but the gnocchi was divine and drinks were smooth.
Love the place. My favorite place for pasta, any kind of fish, pizza. The meat balls just something. Last Saturday we wanted pizza so bad they we're sold out still found a spot for me and the kids. Every time we come to Long Beach it's the only one place we have dinner.
Extremely impressed. Octopus, clam pie, eggplant parm, lobster ravioli, lemon and shrimp linguine. All extremely flavorful. Good wine list, perfect atmosphere. Would love to come back.
One of my favorite restaurants. Pizza is amazing 👏 staff is always super nice and the food is never disappointing
We enjoyed the meal. Typically we don’t order dessert but we tried the tiramisu. It was ok but my comparison was went I was in Rome. We did really enjoy the dinner. Thank you !
Absolutely perfect. Food, drinks, ambience are all 10/10. One of the best spots you’ll find on the West End.
Grotta di Fuoco has charm, good service, and great food. The table arrangements were nice and spaced for social distancing. The added partitions are tasteful and unobtrusive. The menu doesn't have too many choices, the problem is they all sound too delicious. I was particularly pleased with the venison ragu special, meaty sauce over perfectly cooked pasta. Would love to have it again. Also, the cocktails were great. The Mezcal Negroni, a wonderful spin off the classic Negroni. Mezcal is one of my favorite spirits and this is a new favorite drink. I can't wait to come back and try more off the menu.
OMG. Andrew does a fantastic job with his dishes. The staff is fantastic. Irene has been out waitress twice now and we love her and everyone else taking care of us during our time. Nom nom nommy!!!
Great pizza/ pasta so on, nice bar good staff
Impeccable service and warm ambience. delicious and AUTHENTIC Italian comfort dishes. This place is a gem!
