Blue Grotto

In May the crew met at Blue Grotto.  As always, Josh and I arrived early and before everyone.

















While we waited for others to arrive we admired how cute and modern the restaurant was.  We sat upstairs in a private little area, where we could overlook the bar area.


When the group arrived we all started the process of ordering drinks. I started by ordering a glass of Sauvignon Blanc Carmenere.  There were a variety of appetizers ordered, including: Smoked Salmon, Cheese Platter and Spinach Artichoke Dip. I am not a huge fan of smoked salmon. however I did try it and it was pretty good for what it was. The cheese platter and artichoke dip were both delicious! We then ordered our food.  I was torn between ordering the gnocchi or a pizza.  I decided to go ahead and go with a pizza, since this was a pizza place.  I was glad I didn't get my heart set on the gnocchi because come to find out, they didn't have it that night?  I was torn between what pizza to order, but I finally decided on the Meatball Pizza.  We waited for a bit for the food to come, but when it came we dove in!  My meatball pizza was, okay. I don't know what I was expecting, but it was a little different then what I got.  To me, it didn't have any special taste to it.


















I ended up trying a piece of everyones pizzas.  I tried: Cheese, Prosciutto and Fig, Bacon & Jalapeño, Quattro Stagioni,  and Salsiccia.  My favorite in order were: Bacon & Jalapeño, Salsiccia, Cheese, Meatball, Prosciutto and Fig and Quattro Stagioni.  The Bacon & Jalapeño was great. It had a ton of flavor and great tastes.

I ordered another glass of wine, this time going with the Riesling.  Being able to go over and get Foo's after dinner made this place even better! :) I give Blue Grotto a 3.5/5.
