Grotta Azzurra

About this business

With legends like Frank Sinatra and Robert De Niro having frequented this place, Grotta has always been one of the most popular Italian restaurants in the neighborhood. The 'Blue Grotto' disappeared for six years since its opening over a century ago, however it reopened with renewed vigor again to much fanfare. The multi-level eatery still retains some historic features like the marble and mosaic floors; and its vintage mahogany bar and wine cave stack about 1,600 bottles.

This place is amazing!!!! Some of the nicest people I’ve ever met at a restaurant! They really know their beer! I have not eaten here (yet) but do plan on it! I met Frank (I believe one of the managers?) and super nice guy. Next time my wife and I are back in NYC, we will definitely be coming back here!

Great little place! The interior is well done and spacious. We sat in the corner near the street and enjoyed people watching. The pizzas are thin, crisp and fresh. Prices are decent. Frank serenaded as we ate.

I have been eating there for 27 years. It is the only place I go in Little Italy. I now live in the Pittsburgh area, and have had at least 30+ friends come with me there over the years, and they all love it. At all levels (servers, cooks, etc), it is all done very well.
