Fun & Inspiration

The "Little Grotto" is one of the fancier choices in town, the sort of place where the waiter prepares your fish for you and good Italian and French vintages supplement the local table wine. It has changed little since the days Ted Kennedy, the Gabor sisters, and Igor Stravinsky dined in the single room of tightly spaced tables under a stucco vaulted ceiling.

Wine flasks, photos of famous patrons, and a rose on every table complete the decor, while a dozen tourist tongues (mixed with some local dialect) and the clamor of the adjacent kitchen set the tone.

Agnolotti al pomodoro caprese (giant ravioli of cheese and ham topped with fresh baby tomatoes and torn basil) or risotto alla pescatora (rice infused with shellfish and tiny squid) make excellent first courses.

For secondo, you can order involtino alla Napoletana (veal roll stewed in tomatoes) or mozzarella in carrozza (fresh mozzarella on toast fried to a golden brown). But Al Grottino's strong suit is fresh fish; try it cooked all'acqua pazza.
