Puts the Italian on the Plate and Not in Your Eyes and Ears

Sotan Life Overview

You won’t be seeing flags of green, white, and red or hear shouts of “Mamma-mia!” coming from mustachioed men in red-and-white stripped shirts at La Grolla, which puts the Italian on the plate and not in your eyes and ears. This Italian eatery is located in St. Paul’s Cathedral Hill neighborhood, where Sotans merrily clink glasses and add a little garlic to their day with fresh Italian cooking.

La Grolla, meaning “friendship cup,” hasn’t reached ridiculous popularity – yet – so it’s still possible to enjoy pasta and marinara with enough elbowroom to wipe your face when the occasion calls. A large patio is open during spring and summer months for Sotans to enjoy great Italian and a glass of wine outdoors, but dining inside is just as great. Authentic Italian awaits you at La Grolla, where jingoism is put aside and everyone is free to enjoy an excellent meal in peace without all the attitude.
