At La Grotta Buckhead, the clientele dine in an upscale yet cozy atmosphere. The décor highlights plush banquettes and romantic brick archways. The Peachtree patio transports guests to a private garden oasis complete with fountains and lush greenscapes. La Grotta is a family owned and operated business. In addition to many waitstaff who have been around for 30+ years, Chef Antonio Abizanda has perfected his Northern Italian cuisine at La Grotta since 1978. Partner Christian Favalli was hanging coats in the coat room in 1978 and is now the face of the business. He can be found buzzing around the dining room most evenings making memories with guests, old and new.
