content: My coworker and I were in Scottsdale for a conference and didn't want to stay at the mixer that night so we went to Old Scottsdale to look for a restaurant to eat.\n\nItalian Grotto was dark and crowded...it must be good.\n\nThe restaurant had a great garlic smell to it...I know why. It's the delicious garlic toast! The garlic toast had real diced chunks of garlic on top of the grilled bread! SO freaking awesome.\n\nThe Caesar salad was also the bomb because they add in anchovies...yum! \n\nOur server was great too...bubbly and energetic. \n\nWhat I didn't like too much about this place is the lack of pasta options. It was mainly ravioli, cannelloni, and lasagna.
