Anybody who goes downtown must eat here.  We actually stay at the Golden Nugget in part because of this restaurant.  I was blown away to discover this is part of a chain. I find the food to be almost perfect everytime I come here.\n\nThe service and the setting are very good if not perfect. The food though is what steals the show at this restaurant. Every dish that you try explodes with flavor and freshness. I have been eating here for over 10 years and it is consistently 5 stars every time.\n\nThe grotto is not a good restaurant for downtown; it is easily one of the very best restaurants in all of Las Vegas.  They blow away most restaurants that are more than double the price. Get your Italian on and eat at this restaurant, you won't be disappointed.
