Fernanda NagamatsuApril 6, 2014
Very bad service... And besides we had to pay 20% for it and to share a plate costs 4 dollars... Unbelievable!

They didnt honor the foursquare deal!

The 4-6pm half priced drinks Foursquare special is a sham. No one knew about it and the waiter refused to give it.
Harry WeberFebruary 5, 2011
deeelicious pancakes. 20% service charge included,so very fair pricing.
Ethan H.December 2, 2010
WATCH OUT! Built-in 20% "service charge" i.e. automatic tip. Don't leave a dime extra unless you think they really earned it. #TouristTrap
David CidMay 20, 2010
lunch special: rigatoni a la vodka + chicken marsala --> win.
Ava LuNovember 24, 2010

Great Ristretto!
Alice NgJanuary 11, 2016
$10 lunch (two full-size courses). Not a bad deal, but 20% gratuity is automatically included. Avoid steak entree--it's a cheap strip of skirt steak. Chicken Marsala is delicious.
Rebecca BainMarch 14, 2011
Grotta has a decent wine shop next door on mulberry

Beware of your bill! They charge you with a 20% of your total as a Service Charge. Food ok, but service is poor.
Christine FarisOctober 29, 2013
Really yummy vodka sauce. Wish they would've garnished with more Parm. A good place to have dinner.
