Best darn Gelato this side of Italy and that Carmel Pecan Bar will knock your socks off . Best dessert bar I have ever had. The arugula salad was outstanding, , please no seed oils like Canola-Soybean Olive oil only

A pretty good Italian restaurant in Old Town. The service is friendly and they have lots of seating outside as well. I got the Seafood Pasta and it was a good portion with a good mixture of squid, shrimp and mussels. The atmosphere is comforting and lively. They also make their own olive oils and wines too which is pretty cool. Overall a solid pick in Old Town Temecula and would visit again!

Not so sure about this place. Yes, wine is ok. Space is weird, inside was cold outside was cold. Little heaters don't do much. Service was a bit inconsistent and condescending. Misti Misti is a ton of meats, cheese, but only 2 bits of bread. The cheese was so bland. Italy has better cheese offerings. The Bolognese was so so so salty and not great. Maybe the pizza is good but we didn't get it because they were out of gluten free crust. I don't know, maybe you'll like it. People didn't seem very excited. A little expensive for what it is.

Ordered Ricotta pancake, the taste was overall okay but for $17 I thought I’d at least get a little stack of pancakes, it was a singular regular size pancake with berries and powdered sugar. My husband ordered bottega Benny at $23 and it was mediocre at best. The eggs were hard boiled nowhere near poached eggs, additionally the menu noted it came with prosciutto and what I saw and tasted was regular ham smothered in pesto sauce that frankly wasn’t great either. Came with 3 fingerling potatoes… service wise all waitresses were nice and welcoming was slightly annoyed to receive our coffee in to go cups because there were no dine in cups left (we saw the pile of coffee cups on the bar waiting to be washed) other plates coming out looked good so keep in mind if you are looking to try the menu items we ordered because we felt extremely disappointed for the price we paid.

We came for a birthday celebration. Our waiter I’m so sorry to not remember his name but he was a gentle man with a beard on duty 7:30-9:30 pm on 1/2/2026. He offered amazing recommendations. He made us feel like we were in a fine dining restaurant.
The food was spectacular we felt like we were in Sicily. We tried the pizza and a pasta dish as well as a insalata. We will be returning.

My friends and I went to Bottega Italia a couple of days after Christmas to celebrate the holidays together. The restaurant itself was SO cute and decorated so nice and the food was delicious. We had Eden as our server and honestly, she made the experience *chef's kisses*. She was on top of it, super nice, made some great recommendations, and took a cute picture for us (: We will def be going back!

We just finished our wonderful dinner experience at Bottega... from start to finish it was amazing. The hostess Kayla was very accommodating and sweet. We were then greeted by our very knowledgeable server Bonnie who told us about the specials that were abundant. We had an excellent charcuterie board and tuna for apps and special pizzas and pastas. Ben did a great job keeping our table clean and always had a smile and great upbeat attitude. He was there with bread and water! Mark then served us some delicious gelato We will be back! Thank u

The food is genuinely high quality. The pizza we ordered was delicious and didn’t feel heavy at all—very much like real, authentic Italian pizza. My friend ordered a few off-menu dishes that were offered that day, and they were excellent. The service was attentive and professional. The location is amazing, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. Absolutely deserves a 5-star rating.

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!
