Blu Grotto Ristorante

It’s evident in all of their dishes, and especially their Happy Hour specials that won’t break the bank! Come out from 3:30pm – 6:30pm Wednesday through Friday for your choice of small plates including a Kale and Romaine Caesar Salad, Parmesean Edamame, or Garlic Shrimp for $8 each.
