This was our 2 nd time at La Botte; last time was about a year ago at the old location. This space is beautiful, inviting, and had live music. We were very disappointed last night. We only waited a couple of minutes before being seated but the rest of the night waited extended time; to order, get our meal, and then our check. After being seated I found a water left on the table that was left by one of the staff. My pasta dish was delicious however the Chicken Piccata was so tough you were able to cut it with the butter knife. We were never offered a dessert likely because the staff was so busy. We never saw our waitress until after we asked the other waiter to bring our bill because we had already waited for at least 15 minutes. I know they were busy but to not have any wait staff available to the patrons in the dining room isn’t acceptable. Another couple had to ask for their check too. The Bruschetta was how I remembered it and was the best thing we had. Please find a way to do better because it’s not often you find a good Southern Italian Restaurant.

Chicken Marsala was tasty but tough, only had a butter knife with difficulty cutting. I should have tried the Pizza which wasn’t on the menu. Bread was good.

New location, service is horrible. No hostess, not enough severs, slow service. Many guest were ignored. Won't go there again.

We had a great experience at this restaurant. Mandy was very friendly and knowledgeable about all of the food and wines they offer. The atmosphere was perfect to what a good Italian restaurant should be. The food was excellent. Francesca made us feel like family and left us wanting to come back soon. I highly recommend everyone in the area to check this place out.

Outstanding dinners at this charming, authentic family-run restaurant. As first-timers without reservations, we were greeted by three different staff, sat within 5 minutes, with good local wine poured within 5 more. Healthy portions of very rich pasta bolognese and meat ravioli and a huge salad. Oven fresh bread is a nice touch. Highly recommend.

We spent a good hour driving around Lompoc trying to find a good dinner spot -- glad we lucked into finding La Botte!
Very nice place, nice relaxed atmosphere and very attentive service all wrapped around some of best Italian we've had in a long time.
Wife, Daughter n I believe their Marinara is some of BEST Sauce we ever had! It goes GREAT with EVERYTHING!
If we're ever back in the Lompoc area, we will DEFINITELY visit La Botte Again!

Francesca catered our event in Solvang. Incredible food, professional service, on time, left venue clean , classy all the way.
If you're craving authentic Italian comfort food, look no further — this place is an absolute gem! I recently tried their Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo Pasta, and it was hands down one of the best I've ever had. I’ll definitely be coming back — next time with friends so they can fall in love with it too!

Waited for about seven minutes or anyone came to the front to even help me. They should consider investing in a door chat so you don’t have to yell it into the kitchen to give someone attention..
