La Grotta is one of the oldest restaurant operations in the Atlanta area, opening its first location in 1978. It opened this Dunwoody location at Ravinia in 1993 and operates a second in Buckhead at 2637 Peachtree Road.
La Grotta Ravinia is located in the lower level of the Crowne Plaza Hotel Atlanta Perimeter. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer the 175-seat dining room a tree-filled view onto the wooded park and fountains behind the hotel. Head chef Michael Connolly is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York. The restaurant serves traditional dishes from northern Italy, including steak, veal, pasta, seafood and a daily chef's choice risotto. Entrees cost between $16 and $35, with the majority costing less than $25. For all pasta dishes, the kitchen can substitute whole wheat linguine for regular pasta.
