About this business
Editorial fromBlue Grotto is one of the many Italian restaurants covering Federal Hill like grated Parmesan on red sauce. Around since 1980, it has its act down pat---but knows how to mix it up as well. Chef Kory Ferrier delivers the old standbys like…

AWFUL – Well I certainly would not recommend this place on a chilly night. The moment we walked into the restaurant we were told by the woman "standing gaurd" it was against policy to hold onto our coats. They must be checked. The dinner left a lot to be desired the veal was tough and the steaks looked like boiled kangeroo chops and tasted it like it too. The wait staff did all they could do to try to convince our dinner party it was in fact beef. Our waiter was rude the only nice part of the evening was our bus boy who alwa... read more
Business response:
I took over this restaurant in August of 2006, and I assure you that there is no longer a woman standing guard. We do not require our guests to check their coats, or require anything from our guests for that matter. I would love for you to look at our new website and menu at www.bluegrottorestaurant.com, hopefully it will be obvious how many things are different now than the last time you were here. We would love the opportunity to show you the "new" Blue Grotto. Mike
Mixed Feelings – I've eaten here a couple of times and am still not convinced the food is worth the price. Neither is the environment. The first time, my friend and I were seated in a corner table that smelled as if they'd had a water leak over there. The meal was decent, but not excellent. The second time I dined at the Grotto, we had a better table and meal as well. Maybe I'm a little too hard on this place because I've eaten at other Fed Hill restaurants which I consider excellent. Just a note for any vegetarians, some di... read more

We can certainly fix your mixed feelings. I took over the restaurant in August of 2006, and have made many changes that you would be happy with. Also, my mother is a vegatarian, there are plenty of choices. All dishes that do not mention meat have no chicken stock in them at all. we hope to see you again. Mike
Pretty good food - traditional – Very conservative traditional food - very tasty. Have tried three Federal hill resaurants since moving here and have been very pleased with all three. Grotto is pricey but nice to take your parents to or grandparents to. Not a hot spot for the younger crowd or a date for a younger couple. Heavy, buttery, thick, but very tasty.
Business response:
But you would love us even more now. Prices here are still below when I took over in August of 2006, and we have plenty of traditional and creative italian food. We hope to see you again. Mike
