Valentine's Day
Claudius II, Emperor of Rome in the 3rd century, had a simple plan to take over the world. Claudius was having trouble with his plan, because he believed that married men just didnt want to fight as much as single men. So, Claudius decided to ban marriage. However, couples continued to fall in love, and one priest named Valentine decided to continue marrying these love birds. Valentine's lack of support to Claudius' marriage ban was soon well known, and the Emperor had Valentine imprisoned. The soon to be saint Valentine was ordered to be killed for his unlawful marriage acts, but his history lives on today on February the 14th. Grotto will be honoring St. Valentine with a 3 course prix-fixe menu for 42 dollars per person. Please call Grotto at 617-227-3434 to make a reservation. Marliave will also be open on Valentine's Day and serving their regular menu.
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Grotto's spaghetti, meatballs, and insanely fabulous tomato sauce has been a signature dish on our mneu since we opened at 37 Bowdoin St, on Beacon Hill over 6 years ago. The three large house prepared meatballs and the slightly smoke tomato sauce with toothsome spaghetti has been a pasta fix for residents of the Hill and diners since Grotto's early days. The imported San Marzano tomatoes, garlic, herbs and pancetta help create the insanely fabulous sauce which one of our early patrons named. Grotto is now offering our spaghetti and meatballs for $12.95 during dinner service every Sunday through Wednesday night. This special price will continue through March 10th, 201 except for Valentine's Day. Please call 617-277-3434 to reserve a table for dinner.
