If you're looking beyond the North End for authentic Italian cuisine, Grotto is a hidden Beacon Hill gem worth seeking out. Nestled below street level on Bowdoin Street, the restaurant offers delicious Primi, Secondi and Dolce courses at moderate prices. Step down into a romantic, dimly lit setting featuring exposed brick, sheer draped curtains and rich Italian artwork. Prix fixe dinners and an a la carte menu are available seven nights a week. This is a hot spot for dinner on weekends and reservations are recommended.
