La Grotta On Main Italian Restaurant

Bad Service ruined our Night

Our dinner night was ruined when the server/owner Frank asked us on how we like their food. I politely indicated the combination of Mussel and Mushroom in the Risotto that I order wasn't the best of my likeing. Unpleasantly supprised, he responded with a very disrespectful and rude response: "THIS IS ITALIAN RISOTTO!!! NOT CHINESE RISOTTO!!!". We love italian food, we go to italian restaurant alot, we are confident that we have a good understand what "italian" risotto is. We were just very disappointed on "LA Grotto's" attitude toward customers' feedback. We know we definitely will NOT go back again!!

excellent. wish there is more fine dining restaurants in Greater Toronto area. we should phase out and over time outlaw all fast food restaurants. will visit again

Impressed

I went to La Grotta on unionville main st. and was very impressed. The food was fantastic. I would definitly go back. Great selection from menu.

Wouldn't accept Groupon

I've lived on Main St and have tried every other restaurant in the neighborhood. There was a Groupon for this restaurant so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to check it out. First the food - I had the fettuccine and my husband the risotto. We both enjoyed our entrees and the lovely warm bread at the beginning. Dessert was a different story. I'm a serious creme brulee connoisseur and found their version very eggy and custardy - than creamy and there wasn't a sugar crust!? My husband ordered the brownie with ice cream, which was equally disappointing. There wasn't any chocolate sauce, the brownie seemed old and the ice cream was horrible. Service is another story. They were quite friendly, however Incredibly Slow to check up on us and to take plates away/give us the bill. To top it off we were told that they wouldn't accept the Groupon on my iphone App (even though their Groupon CLEARLY states - to use just bring up on App and there's no mention of not accepting the mobile version anywhere).

Amazing!

I went there for my mother's 50th birthday party and had an amazing time. The food and the service were very good and the owner was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Portabello mushrooms, Veal Parmesan, and a Creme Brulee from the Price Fixe menu and it was well worth it. I will return again very soon!
