Bottega in Birmingham, AL, is the kind of restaurant that makes you feel fancy without needing a tuxedo or a trust fund. Walking in, you’re greeted by an elegant, timeless space — white tablecloths, soft lighting, and that faint aroma of something deliciously Italian roasting in the oven. The Café side is more relaxed, perfect if you’re in the mood for wood-fired pizza and a lively vibe, while the Dining Room feels like a culinary theater where every dish is the star.
Finally had a chance to try this restaurant out since reading about it I a magazine. Waitress and food were exceptional. Had a special request at end of meal for the soup of the day to go, I wanted it strained for any solids due to friend having major surgery in the am and is on a liquid diet. Waited came back and said the manager and chef said no because they wanted their presentation not to be compromised. Mind you this is a to go order. Here is my problem, on the menu...
Elegant surroundings with more than a bit too much arrogance and pretense.
Not exactly a Michelin Star candidate though the waitstaff seemingly would disagree. Whether they truly have a clue or not is debatable.
We love fine food. And, there were dishes that approached the level at our visit, although not all.
On a positive, the wine list is impressive and complementary to the menu.
