Since 1978 La Grotta’s intimate fine dining has wowed Atlanta. Voted Best Italian Restaurant by Atlanta Magazine for 23 consecutive years, AAA Four Diamond Award for 13 years, and the Di Rona Award since inception. Complimentary valet parking. 2637 Peachtree Road NE Atlanta (404) 231-1368. PLAN A: Dining al fresco on the beautiful courtyard patio, and if inclement weather, PLAN B is indoors.
