History
After a successful 22 year run at the Del Monte Shopping Center with their terrific All-American concept Elli's, now located in the Salinas Valley, the Ottone Restaurant Group began planning a new Garden Contemporary restaurant across from the Century Theatres.
Lalla Grill was born out of a desire to feature excellent, authentic foods with an international flair that could cater to the diverse audience at the mall.
The Ottone Restaurant Group worked with designers, architects and our award winning chefs to create a unique menu, an 18x30 foot wall that holds our selection of drinks and a decor that is fresh and inviting.
In 2008, the doors were opened to Lalla Grill, and we have been welcoming families, couples on a night out, celebrations, friends gathering for a drink after the movies, and guests to the Peninsula. Lalla Grill offers a one of a kind approach to great food, great service, and a great night out.
