Italian Restaurant Grotto Closes

Grotto’s back yard.

Eater reports that Grotto, the Italian restaurant at 100 Forsyth St., has closed.  Co-owners David Wiesner and Nicole Delacratz-Wiesner have apparently decided to focus their full attention on a new spot, Louie & Chan, which recently opened on Broome Street. Grotto opened in 2003, featuring a beautiful back yard.  You can check out the new spot’s Facebook page here.
