Grotto Boston Reviews from The Last Year
Great find
Had an early dinner here after looking round for somewhere with a menu that we liked the look of. Lovely ambience and friendly staff. Delicious scallops and apparently an excellent steak!
Lovely Dine-out week meal at Grotto! My friend and I split
Lovely Dine-out week meal at Grotto! My friend and I split the beet and goat cheese spinach salad and the sweet potato ravioli (sans bacon), both of which were phenomal! I almost got too full eating both of these. For my main, I had the mushroom risotto, which was also good and came with a sizable portion, so I ended up taking some home. We paired our meals with glasses of house Chianti ($12). To finish, we split the tiramisu and chocolate cake, both of which were delicious. Can't wait to come back!
Went here for a date night and was a great setting for it!
Went here for a date night and was a great setting for it! Got the duck confit (tasty and relatively cheap as an appetizer), the cozze mussels (whatever they put in the sauce was DIVINE, I wish I knew how to make it like that), the bolognese, and the spaghetti and meatballs (similar dishes in a sense, both flavorful with the spaghetti being more herby and light tasting while the bolognese was a richer and very tasty entree). Both pastas were much larger portions than we had expected, and we happily packed up any leftovers for another meal. Overall a great experience and would go there again! Also, they have 5$ off any appetizer, entree, and dessert combo as a bonus.
It is always great to.
Grotto is tucked into our neighborhood, and in my opinion one of the best Italian restaurants in the city.
Really nice date night dinner spot.
My wife booked it for my birthday and in short, the food was fantastic and the service spot on. Like a lot of restaurants in Boston, it's in the basement of a brownstone (so it felt) but the atmosphere inside is cozy enough and we were comfortable. We started with the cavatelle which was awesome (recommended by our waiter). Then we split the salmon and chicken parm. Salmon was very good but the chicken parm was very different.. it sat in a sweeter sauce and was smothered in parmesan. Was amazing and I would order again.
This place is such a hidden gem with warm and cozy vibes
This place is such a hidden gem with warm and cozy vibes all around. Glad the cavatelle is a primi dish, if it were an entree...things would get out of hand because the only thing wrong with it, is that it's too good. Moved onto the bolognese (some of the finest in the city) and short rib gnocchi. Everything was well prepared and we appreciated the thoughtful touch of having heated plates for warm dishes, and cold plates for the dessert.
Hidden gem of Boston.
The mood is sexy, mature and elegant. The food is absolutely delicious and perfect every single time. And the staff is very knowledgeable and considerate. This is one of my go to places since I live close by and it's better than any north end restaurant I've been to.
Beware: Ask questions about the price of their so-called
Beware: Ask questions about the price of their so-called "pre-fix" menu before ordering. They seem to have printed the menu in the most confusing way possible in order to trick you into thinking that the pre-fix menu is an all-inclusive fixed price, but in reality you're paying full price for each course. I even asked the waiter for clarification and he acted coy, which should've been a sign for me to keep asking questions, but I didn't, and then my friend and I ended up paying double what we expected.
The atmosphere in in a basement.
Very tight seating. The food was very good. The portions are small for the price but very high quality . The service is outstanding very accommodating. I would recommend this restaurant as a win win restaurant
Love the food but I always ask for leftovers and they never
Love the food but I always ask for leftovers and they never get returned???? Are the servers just eating the leftovers in the back?? Because that is gross
Outstanding food and service.
We ate here Thursday night. I had the short rib gnocchi and my wife had the risotto. We both agreed to come back after we left.
Our Grotto Experience
Grotto is located on a lower level in a building on Bowdoin St., just in the rear of the State House. It is an intimate dining room in the front, with exposed brick walls. The entrance is below a half flight of stairs- one needs to be careful at this entrance due to their not being a landing at the entrance. Despite the size, tables are well spaced and comfortable. We split the house salad, with copious portions of mixed salad greens and nicely dressed. We then ordered the gnocchi with short ribs, and also "carne", a beef tenderloin with parmesan risotto. The tenderloin was perfectly prepared, the dish ringed with a flavorful sauce, and the risotto with a nice creamy texture. The gnocchi were tender and the short ribs tender and flavorful. We split a tiramisu, served up in a tall dish, with lady fingers and mascarpone cheese- a fresh delight. Wines by the glass included genuine Italian regional wines. Be aware that the portions are quite ample and can be split- especially the gnocchi and the pasta dishes. The excellent, professional service included splitting the salad into two separate plates- a welcome touch. We'll return.
Grotto - Highly Recommend it!
A cute and quaint Italian restaurant in Boston in which we highly recommend! We were travelling to Boston as a group of 15 from out-of-town and Mallery was more than accommodating to seat our party. Despite being at 2 tables, the meals all came out at the same time so we felt like we were treated as one group. Our server Obi, was attentive, had a great sense of humour and was pleasant to deal with. Do not miss eating at Grotto if you are visiting Boston!
Cute little French & Italian inspired restaurant.
A cute little restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Great Italian & French inspired menu. Good selection of wines etc… can’t fault the service either! Would 100% recommend.
Well kept secret in Boston!
Grotto, which mean cavern…If You are just passing by you might not stop but please do…wow it’s really a hidden jewel. Very good food, excellent service (Obe) and reasonable price. Limited but good wine selection mostly Italian of course. Try the Chicken Parmesan , what a nice surprise!
Mice for dinner???
We booked this restaurant because it was close to the hotel. I had a nice spinach salad but the raviolis were under cooked and the sauce overcooked. The chicken Parmesan was dry….furthermore mice were running around! Do not recommend this place!
Great
Really enjoyed the food, service, and the decor. This is a must visit location when you're in the area. Hope to visit again real soon.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
