Grotta Azzurra In Merate

Mediocre pizza, inattentive service

Good pizza, thin and well cooked

Very good pizzeria. The fish is also delicious for Brianza. The service could be improved in terms of friendliness/warmth from the waiters.

I've known this restaurant for a long time, and it's always satisfied me with the excellent quality of its products. Last time, however, due to kitchen issues (which can happen), the service was terrible... but the criticism isn't so much for the fact that our appetizer arrived halfway and the rest after the main course, all taking an hour... but for the poor service management by the waiter (not a young man, but a man with a lot of experience behind him), who, with his sarcasm and lack of patience, was anything but professional (from our table, the biggest criticism was the timing). It's a shame; a little more humility would have been enough, which the owner, in turn, displayed, demonstrating the professionalism her subordinate sorely lacked. Otherwise, the price is worth the quality of the products served... the fish is excellent, as are the pizzas.

The seafood pizza is really good, the service is fast, and the prices are fair. Recommended, but call to reserve; it's always busy.

The pizza is delicious. Highly recommended. I don't know about the other dishes, but the pizza is definitely worth trying. The service is quite fast and attentive. There were seven of us on Sunday evening, and since it was quite busy, we had to wait a bit before ordering. In the summer, the tables are outside, under umbrellas. There are also tables inside. The atmosphere is perhaps a bit crowded with tables and furniture. They also offer takeout. We'll be back.

Exceeded expectations. Delicious pizzas❤️

Not bad, great food and service. Lovely outdoor setting...

Very good, the pizzas were very good with good products. A huge choice on the menu, very kind and smiling servers. We had the downside of only being able to pay cash so I just hope it was really a TPE breakdown and not a scam.

We've been there several times. The pizza and food are excellent. But the service is a bit lacking. There's a lot of staff going around the tables, but only a couple of them are able to take orders. The wait for the main courses, especially for dessert, is very long. Simona and Giorgia
