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.

Always have a welcoming experience at Grotta Azzurra. Host and staff go out of their way to give you more than just a meal. Guests receive a welcome like no other on Mulberry Street and leave with memories captured in pictures with the host. Visitors coming to NYC will find “respect” rather than “entitlement” will create the best experience. Pretty much applies to anywhere you go but it will make your dining experience here second to none. The menu is well populated with traditional and American-Italian offerings. I have nev... read more
