Nicole was an absolute wonderful server. As a General Manager who’s been in the industry for over 16 years, she is definitely an asset to your operations. Very attentive and extremely friendly. As always the food was wonderful, the butternut squash/ravioli/scallop dish was an amazing special. Kudos to the Chef who created the dish!

Had my birthday dinner here last night and it was absolutely wonderful! The hostess informed us there would be a small wait (we didn’t have a reservation), so we went to the bar for a drink. The hostess came up to us with an update that our table would be ready soon, and came back up to us when it was ready! I appreciated her follow up! She was so sweet; I don’t believe I got her name but she was hostess the night of 10/21. :) The bartender worked with speed and was very kind!
The food AND service was amazing! I had the gnocchi, which was delicious, and everything my friends had looked so good, we all raved about the food! Have to say a big thank you to Logan, our server! He was hilarious and made the night even more enjoyable and memorable. Thanks for the unforgettable birthday evening, Bottega Italia!

Bartender said the espresso martini was the best in Old Town. I didn’t believe him, but I was wrong! Great food and even better service from Logan!

The food was amazing, tje service was beyond amazing. I honestly don't remember when the wait staff was more attentive and accommodating. Simply perfection! Cassie, the manager was so passionate about the place and her customers it was truly inspiring. I don't live in the area, but I will consider coming back just to have a meal here. Positively the best!

I ordered the pizza with prosciutto. It was thinly sliced ham. See pic. I could not believe it. They sliced it so thin maybe so people couldn't notice. But prosciutto is super thin, and I'm Italian. The barrata... it looked beautiful... but it was so balsamic, sugary, I couldn't even finish it .The gelato was not creamy. Kind of a watered down taste rather than a cream taste compared to other gelatos I've had.

Pretty disappointed by the service and food. We were seated outside and felt pretty neglected, as it took a long time for the waitress to order our drinks and food. The buffalo and maiale appetizer was disappointing, as there was barely any buffalo cheese. It was $23 for a few slices of prosciutto, a little bit of cheese, 3 slices of melon and 2 pieces of bread. Would not come here again.
When purchasing coffee from this cafe, we were neglected service and the customers behind us were prioritized their service. After confronting the worker and the manager, they stated that they are busy, but I saw that instead of serving us, they decided to serve the people behind us, and when after they finished she still didn't get back to our order which was just two cups of coffee. Therefore, I decided to let them know and their response was that they're busy. I understand but this can be taken care of more professionally. Therefore, I don't recommend visiting this cafe.

Always delicious! As someone that cooks quite a bit, it’s clear that the ingredients at Bottega Italia are of the utmost quality.
The cannoli is to die for.

First I must say, I miss the pistachio cake. While our meal, dessert, and wine were amazing tonight, (thank you to our server for the recommendations), I was extremely disappointed with the owner feeling the need to publicly discipline his employees. When dining out, we are not only paying for the meal, but also the experience. This was not a good one for us, especially being our anniversary dinner. I made eye contact with the owner while he disciplined this poor girl, so he was clearly aware that customers noticed, but he continued. Props to her because she handled it professionally. I just wish he could have done the same for her. Whether he disciplined her privately or not, his approach is definitely hostile and not a comfortable work environment, and I don’t even work there. Nobody deserves that kind of treatment. On a positive note, Stefanie was an amazing server. Maria was tending to us as well, & both ladies were great! The food was incredible. It’s a tough position because I want to support well deserving employees, but I don’t want to support a business that treats their employees the way they were treated in front of us tonight. Enter at your own risk, but I’d say tip well because they deserve more.

Really really good food! Best calzone I’ve had to date. The wine was really good too. I had the Malbec. Gluten free pasta and pizza options. Sitting outside and watching the activity go by in Temecula is a good way to spend a meal. The bathrooms are clean and cute! The only thing that was odd is that there wasn’t any house water? We could have purchased still or sparkling but tap was not available. That didn’t ruin the experience though, the food was worth it. And all of the servers were wonderful!
