Grotto Boston

Was in Boston for 1 night and made a great choice booking the cozy Grotto for dinner. We decided to do family style so we could try as many dishes as possible and we were not disappointed. The bolognese and gnocchi were outstanding, a slight cut above the tagliatelle with shrimp. The Brussels sprouts with bacon were very good as well, because … well, bacon improves everything. Also had the mushrooms, which were fine, but I’d say try a different vegetable. The meatballs were excellent, and I’d say save some bread to lap up the delicious sauce they came in, because it’s very tasty. We ordered 2 beef wellingtons and the Brick chicken for proteins. I was more partial to the chicken over mashed potatoes, as I thought the beef was a tad dry. However my friends loved the beef, so it was a split decision 2/1 in favor of the beef. We ordered the tiramisu and a banana pudding type dessert which were both tasty and finished the meal perfectly. They have a good wine selection, im obsessed with piedmont reds & I had a bunch to choose from, so I was excited. But there’s def wine for all palates, in a great price range $50+ - $100. Service was excellent and the food came out quickly. We really enjoyed our dinner here & to be honest, I’m from NYC so im stuck up about Italian food, but I really liked Grotto and would recommend it for a dinner out, whether with family or on a date.
