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.

    Was amazed at how crowded you were that late on a Tuesday night. All of the staff - including bartender; hostess & Jorge our server, were so friendly! I needed some help with a knee scooter and they were so helpful. This was a special 85th birthday celebration for a dear friend of mine. Thanks for everything! 🌺

    La Grotta is such a wonderful restaurant with amazing service and incredibly delicious food. We started with the two chilled bufala mozzarella appetizers which were so fresh and so unbelievable. We could have eaten two more of these dishes, they were that good. I ordered the appetizer special Linguine al Vongale and it was quite good but I would prefer it without the Calabrian spicy sausage. My daughter and I both ordered the veal scallopini dishes, one with lemon sauce and one with mushrooms, and they were phenomenal. so tender and delicious. My husband ordered the Penne Bolognese and the portion was HUGE and unbelievably good. I could not stop taking a bite from his meal. My son ordered the gnocchi which was tender and fluffy. It was prepared in a more northern Italy manner with some definite germanic/swiss flavors. We loved our meal and the panna cotta was out of this wold.
