Very nice, upscale Italian atmosphere. We tried several dishes and everyone was pleased. A little on the pricey side, but worth the visit.

I do not often rave about restaurants… because most of them are, frankly, garbage…but BLU Grotto defies that standard.

Today I want to the Blue grotto with my wife and my daughter, I’ve been looking for a good authentic Italian restaurant. I believe I might have found one. My daughter had the clams with white sauce, my wife had old fashioned spaghetti and meatballs, and I had the eggplant parmesan with spaghetti. All were delicious all prepared correctly. The waitress was amazing and the owner was very gracious I’ll be coming back. Also I forgot to tell you the portions were very generous.

Wonderful food. This was our first dinner there and all four of us were extremely happy with our choices. The mussels in white sauce were the best we’ve ever had. Unbelievably tender. Our waitress was such a lovely and efficient young lady. We will definitely go back.

One of the predominate remarks we’ve heard about the PC/RW/NP/PG area is that the pizza and Italian are underwhelming. We have tried a handful of Italian restaurants when coming to visit our build. But when we heard everyone raving about this spot, we knew we had to visit.

This place is a gem! Best Italian food in the area. They make the best chicken marsala and lasagna I have ever tried. Good service and not too crowded. I will definitely be back again!!!

Phenomenal meal tonight on our first time trying this restaurant. I had a special of the day Tuscan chicken and it was a flavor explosion and almost too pretty to eat. Could only manage to eat half so I have leftovers to enjoy too. My husband and I shared a chocolate Bomba I think it was called for dessert. We enjoyed everything and can’t wait to go back. A total hidden gem.

First time we went, we had no issue because we were dressed up nice and was offered a table regardless of reservation, second time, I was not dressed up and let me tell you….If you aren’t dressed up , you are perhaps assumed poor and won’t be offered a seating regardless of them having tables available. Servers are nice but the manager is rude and unaccommodating.

My spouse and I went for Valentine’s Day. We had fun! I got the quail. I bit a couple bones but I probably won’t order that anywhere again. Our food was a little cold but not too bad. The brownie was amazing. Christine (our server) was excellent. 10/5 stars for Christine. The music was also wonderful. I think next time our experience will be better once we have that full menu. Looking forward to next time 🙂 thanks, The Ratliffs
