Reviews for Grotto Ristorante in Galveston, TX
We went for an event which came with a free app with entree purchase. The place was empty & they told us there were reservations... so wr could only sit at the bar. That was fine, but strange. Especially, if you have an event going on you would think theywould save room for those. The restaurant probably didn't start getting busy until 45 minutes later which we were tabbingout. Regardless, our bartender ROCKED it serving us & making all the drinks in her own! Food was delicious. I had the braisedpork ragu with pappardelle pasta. It was so rich & the portion was large. I took the rest home & had it for lunch the next day.My friends both got the pollo milagnese salad which they enjoyed. The meatball appetizer was also good. It is pricey, but willdefinitely return for ther Sunday dinner special. They do have a decent happy hour which I forgot to take a picture of. Read more
AMAZING! Really great experience! Starting with the ambience, lighting, music, such a romantic experience. The food was... outstanding as well. We had snapper in two variations and both dishes were great. I’ve ordered a red sangria for myself and itwas sooo good. Talking about a desert- SOO GOOD! (I feel like I’ve used those words before already ????), but for real , wehad a cheesecake and their signature dessert - yummy! Service was top notch! Our huge compliments to this beautiful place andpersonnel. We’ll definitely come back next time we are in Galveston. Read more
We came here for a birthday dinner for a friend. The chicken Bianca pizza was so good! Everyone loved their dishes and we all... said we would be back. The peach Bellini was also good. There were some pretty spots by the hotel pool to take picture before orafter dinner as well. Read more
First time visiting Galveston, I promised my family we will all go out for a very nice dinner one evening. This shows up on yelp... and boy was I impressed. The entrées are between 20 to 30 each dish. But it is definitely worth it. I ordered a crabcake whichwas out of this world. My Husband ordered a shrimp pasta and he absolutely loved it. My three little kids hors d’oeuvre apepperoni pizza and it was amazing. Not to mention the bloody Mary is delicious! Finally all waitress is amazing she was patientand professional, water overall great experience. Read more
By far the best Italian dinner we have ever had. The environment was very warm with some great Dean Martin on the speakers. The... service was impeccable with a very friendly waiter who helped explain everything and offer us anything we could imagine. TheMozzarella Padella appetizer was fantastic which was quickly followed by the best veal parmigiana that I could imagine. Thegirlfriend took one bite of her gluten free Linguine Pescatore and said “this is the best thing I’ve ever had”. The mixeddrinks and wine were unbeatable also. We were blown away by this restaurant tucked away in our resort. We would love to comeback. Read more

We had a delicious dinner for two. Carlos was our server and he was excellent. I loved the fried artichokes and my chicken Luis.... I will definitely be back! Even the bread to start was delightful! The hotel was decorated for Christmas as an added bonus andit was gorgeous! Read more
Food was so so. Calamari was a bit chewy and lacked flavor. Margarita pizza was good but also nothing great about it. Atmosphere... is good and staff was great. Bread and olive oil dip was probably the best item we had. Read more
