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.

Why they're an Icon

    Amazing good. It is kind of strange to get into because it is inside an apartment building but uniquely cool. Service is amazing.

    Always a great experience at this Atlanta institution (since 1978). I had the Veal Piccata (off menu - ask the waiter) which was excellent. Service is second to none. Make reservations way in advance!!!

    The meal at La Grotta was one of the finest meals that we’ve had in recent memory. From the soup to the panna cotta and coffee, everything was perfection. I recommend this establishment without hesitation or qualification.
