La Grotta Ristorante
About the Business
La Grotta Ristorante, located at 529 East Broad Street in Richmond, Virginia, has been delighting guests with exquisite Northern Italian cuisine since 1994. Owner-Chef Antonio Capece showcases his talent and passion for fine dining through beautifully presented dishes in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant, which translates to "The Cave", offers a unique dining experience resembling a wine cellar, with the option to dine in the actual wine cellar room for a more intimate setting.
In addition to lunch and dinner service, La Grotta is also well-equipped to host special events such as wedding rehearsal dinners and corporate gatherings. Owner-Chef Antonio and his manager-wife Andrea work closely with guests to ensure a memorable and personalized experience in the charming wine cellar or other dining rooms.
Antonio Capece's culinary journey began in Potenza, Italy, where he honed his skills at a young age before moving to the United States in 1981. After successful stints at top Italian restaurants in Washington, DC, Antonio and his business partner Carlo Gaione established their first venture, Amici™ Ristorante, in Richmond's Carytown district. Following the success of Amici™, La Grotta was opened in the historic Shockoe Slip area to cater to a growing customer base.
With a focus on quality and personalized service, La Grotta continues to be a favorite among locals and tourists alike, with Antonio and Carlo overseeing operations to ensure a consistent and exceptional dining experience for all patrons.

"A double date night brought us to La Grotta. The service was spectacular. Our waiter was knowledgeable and witty, giving us laughs along with choices. All the meals were delicious and the desserts were remarkable. La Grotta is a good choice when looking for a nice dinner in a sparkling atmosphere."
"I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant! Our server was amazing, the food was incredible, and the ambiance was perfect. Will definitely be back."
"Five of us were dining & we all agreed the service & the atmosphere were great but the food was sub-par...especially for a restaurant of its supposed caliber. I really wish I had something nice to say about the food. (Oh, the presentation was decent.) Normally, we give restaurants a second chance. However, we won't go back because for us, it's a lot of money to spend on palate flat food. Besides the photos of the 5 entree's & 5 desserts, we also had the frog legs & the snails on mushrooms. We've lived all over the U.S. & visited many European countries a few times to include Italy. None of the food reminded us of Italy. Food should transport you to a destination. Our flight did not take off."
"came here to celebrate my birthday with a group of friends and the night was just perfect. derrick was the most perfect server i could’ve asked for!! both professional, yet personable, he set the most amazing mood for the evening. food wise, everything was delicious, and you could tell that they make a lot of things from scratch. the sauce on the filet wasn’t my favorite, but i still enjoyed it. i also tried the salmon, which was so yummy, and the pastas could’ve been a little more tender for my personal taste, but my friends thought they were good! all my friends were raving about their food. the strawberry cake was also perfect and the night overall was absolutely lovely."
