After a month or two of deliberation on where to eat for my birthday dinner, we finally decided on La Grotta to celebrate Saturday evening. Richmond has an extensive Italian food scene that includes handmade pasta and traditional fare at many of the local restaurants. In that regard, it is tough to stand out. La Grotta Ristorante, in our opinion, is the best Italian restaurant and one of the best overall restaurants in RVA. To start, we ordered dirty martinis which came out perfectly. Briny from the olive juice, 3 blue cheese stuff olives skewered, and well mixed to create a perfect balance. We also had old fashioned’s which were perfectly crafted by the bartender. Reasonably priced for an upscale restaurant. Bread baskets came out regularly and flowing with homemade focaccia, Italian bread, and it also included breadsticks. The showstopper here was that Calabrian chili pepper oil that was served with the bread. You could drink it by the bucket full. For appetizers we ordered the snail
First time (Dec 20th 2021) for me to try deer meat and escargots. They were so great! The nicest thing was a gentleman sit near us in the bar (we all didn’t reserve tables) paid our desert without telling us! (Thank you so much if you by any chance see this review! ) Richmond has lots of nice people! Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: No Takeout: No Delivery: No … More
This is one of our very favorite restaurants in Richmond! Our server, Marco was excellent, friendly and attentive, even though the restaurant was completely full. The food is always fresh and flavorful. We had wine with dinner and ended with a scrumptious dessert and delicious espresso martini. Cannot wait to go back! (mouth is watering!)
