In 2015 my parents stepped back from the restaurant and I took over! I am extremely proud of everything they have done and only hope i can continue the success they have created. None of it would be possible without the amazing staff.
Augusto has worked at La Grotta for over 25 years, coming from a highly trained background in food service, Simone brings Italian flair from Rome, Richard (or Ricardo) has also been here for over 25 years as our head chef and general story teller.You will still see my Papa Alfonso working in the kitchen as well as my 'mamina' Anita and my wife Bev serving.

What a find! My partner and I stumbled upon this place but accident and were pleasantly surprised! The food really is delicious and the portions are good sizes, especially the pizza. Only downside is the atmosphere could be a little better, perhaps play some nice music in the background rather than just silence and listening to other people’s conversations. Other than this fabulous and lovely staff.

They advertise their restaurant as being “the winner of the best pizza award” but unfortunately I have to disagree with that. I just didn’t enjoy the vegetarian pizza that I ordered. It’s so lacking in flavour that I didn’t finish my pizza. I think they should re-visit their vegetarian menu and include more fresh ingredients? I might come back to try their pastas but certainly not the pizzas! Service was excellent though.
