The ambience is very nice and the service was good, but the food was expensive and uninteresting. There was no “wow”. We had drinks, appetizers, and entrees.

I ordered take out. I will say the food is ok. It’s just way too expensive!! This calzone was $20 and it’s the size of my hand, it was good though. I also ordered some sort of garlic parmesan wings and got plain wings that were so dry and tough and with the sauce on the side. The sauce was nasty, it tasted like nothing but plain greasy butter. I also got a slice of cheese cake for $12. It was so small and the crust was soggy. Pretty disappointed.

We came here for dinner for the first time on Friday. We had a great time from start to finish. The wait staff was amazing and our waitress Mariana, was so helpful. She was able to give us suggestions on what to eat. She honestly made the whole meal even better.

It was a great experience- service was good, our food was not rushed. The atmosphere was very cozy.
Our waitress in the main dining room was outstanding. The cheese pizza and white sangria was great but unfortunately, the chicken parm was overcooked; we had a hard time cutting it with a knife. The side linguine was ok. They comped us for one entree but we didn't expect this at all. It was really kind. The pizza is definitely a reason to go back.
Love each trip to Bottega. Happy hour?? 10/10. I’ve been 2x. Liam, the manager & bartender, and Dan, the bartender, were amazing. Definitely coming back
We love it here. Great Coctails (Dan the bartender is amazing). Nice outdoor seating area to watch the sunset. Their pink shrimp, basil prosciutto pizza is our favorite!
The bartender is great, makes great drinks and she’s very friendly, makes your night even better. Give her a raise!!
Our experience at Bottega was very nice. Our waiter was extremely attentive and engaging. My friends chose to share both a salad and the GOAT pizza, which they both loved. I had the shrimp scampi, and it was perfectly prepared. The amount of garlic was just right, and the shrimp were fresh and tasty. The Lavendar lemonade was wonderful for a hot day and the shot of vodka added just enough delight. We will definitely return.
Our brunch experience was a major disappointment from start to finish. We booked a 4 person reservation and planned to enjoy the $39 3-course brunch with bottomless drinks (as advertised on the website), however we were informed upon arrival that the dessert course had been removed. Since no one in our party was drinking, we asked to substitute dessert instead, but were only offered two cannolis for four people. The service was incredibly slow and disorganized: coffees took 25 minutes to arrive, one person’s first course never came due to a mix-up, and the replacement took another 20 minutes which was long after the rest of us had finished eating.
Things only got worse from there. We waited nearly an hour for our main course with no updates or refills, while a large group of 15 seated after us was fully served, finished, and paid the bill before we received our meals. Our server never checked in, refilled water, or asked about additional drinks, and the food itself was average at best. Between the false advertising, long waits, and inattentive service, this brunch was a complete letdown. We won’t be returning and can’t recommend it.

Great atmosphere inside. Don't let the drab exterior fool you. We've been here multiple times. Food/drink is not only good, but reasonably priced. Waitstaff was helpful. We are very picky eaters and my wife and I both really enjoyed eating here.
New to the area and stumbled on this place. WOW! Awesome food all around and great service. No one rushed us too. We had a variety of appetizers followed by a Margherita pizza. We plan on being regulars.
Loved our server Lara she was so bubbly and funny .I was obsessed with the sweet corn risotto she recommended definitely a top 5 for me. Also loved the drink made to order it was YUMMYYYY
We did not get to try this restaurant. We went there for Social Hour and were told there are no seats at the bar ( there were several open tables in the bar area ) so sorry you can’t have Social Hour ( there’s a special menu ). Very disappointing. I have never experienced this anywhere and we go out often. Bad customer service. Would not go here again.
Excellent meal, drinks and overall experience. 2 pizzas and a chicken parm dinner were ordered and everything was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend Bottega.
