About this restaurant

  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Serving the finest in Northern & Regional Italian Cuisine, La Grotta offers old world charm and friendly, first class service and is located in the heart of Buckhead. A local favorite since 1978, La Grotta has received Best of Atlanta Award from Atlanta magazine since the mid 1980’s, prestigious DiRONA and AAA Four Diamond Awards since the early 90's.


La Grotta is tucked away in the heart of the Buckhead residential district and overlooks the lush gardens of the condo courtyard in which it is located. La Grotta literally means "the cave" in Italian and was named such for its cavernous and warm setting. The La Grotta staff is also well known and regarded for its vast knowledge of its customers, the food, diverse knowledge of languages (our staff speaks Italian, Spanish, French & German) and attention to detail. The menu specializes in Northern Italian cuisine with seasonal changes to reflect freshness of ingredients with a focus on locally grown produce.

    My wife and I (date night) had yet another great meal at La Grotta. It always delivers. The mussels were a fantastic appetizer and our mains and desserts were also top notch, as always. Good cocktails and wine. Great service - an all around fabulous meal. Thank you!

    My friend and I absolutely loved the experience and ambience of La Grotta. Tripp, in particular, was absolutely incredible! This was our first time dining here and we enjoyed the food a great deal. The only downfall was that our waiter, (we can’t remember his name) wasn’t attentive at all . We felt looked over the entire night from start to finish. We watched him give attention to other diners and we were perplexed as to why we hadn’t received that same courtesy. We had to as the manager and Tripp multiple times for assistance because he was gone for extended periods of time. However, we still will return. We are hoping to have a better experience with the next waiter we encounter at La Grotta.
