Enjoyed our entrees as always. We did have a little problem with the bread. It is always hot, crispy and delicious but today it was cool, tough and dry, perhaps just reheated loaf, not fresh. We asked for a hot loaf, but were brought back about the same perhaps just zapped to heat. Hope that doesn't become the norm. Our waiter seemed a bit unhappy with us because of that, Will still return for wonderful food though.
This was our second visit to the restaurant. The first visit was excellent. This second time there was a distinct drop in the quality of the food. One dish was warm, at best, another ravioli dish was swimming in sauce and covered in a thick layer of cheese with very few, very small ravioli. Four cheese pasta dish was dry, not enough sauce to pasta ratio. The last dish was a prosciutto arugula pizza which was good. We had an appetizer of mushroom bruschetta. Strangely, the mushrooms...
We visit Restaurante Bottaio as part of our rotation when in the area. We choose the Lake Superior White Fish as the "go-to" entree since it is unique and always excellent. They continue to improve the dish with innovative ingredients that do not disappoint. The bread is always an excellent starter with their soup or salad. Traditional Italian entrees are very pleasing, but try the fish entrees first!
