What a beautiful atmosphere with delicious food. The entire property is fully decorated for Christmas and it couldn't be more beautiful. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive from the hostess to the waiter to the bar tender, they could not have been nicer. We were lucky enough to meet and speak with the owner. He took the time to give us a tour and tell us all about this beautiful display. Can't wait to go back and check out some of the fun Thursday nights he told us about. Excellent spot, so glad we found it.
The ambiance and food was awesome, the restaurant is alot bigger then you see in the photos the waiter and servers where also great!
Food at Bottagra's is always outstanding and this time was no exception. Drinks were interesting and plentiful. Everything was Christmas themed and the place is decorated wildly for Christmas. If you're a fan of Two and a Half Men and have seen the episode "Christmas Village of the Damned" you'll know exactly what the place looks like! And if you're not familiar with it, find it on YouTube. Our table shared some appetizers (teriyaki Calamari, Mussels and Burrata. All were excellent and large enough to share among six people. Dinners were varied - one person had the seared tuna, another had salmon, someone had veal parm and another had shrimp scampi. The only slight disappointment was the shrimp scampi - not enough garlic! LOL! Usually a very heavy garlic infused dish, but this interpretation was very light on the garlic. Other than that, no real complaints and everyone had a great time. Wait staff and bar staff were quick and very professional. All in all - a great time.
Service was stupendous food was excellent drinks were perfectly themed. Overall a spectacular experience. Have been trying to get in for a year and we finally were able to get a reservation. Highly recommended for the ambiance the food and overall service. Kudos Bottagra !
Cocktails were good (great Negroni!). Food was very good: Clams oreganata, shrimp scampi and veal Milanese were all like Grandma used to make. Waiter was attentive and we were not rushed. Decor was already Christmas (11/14 huh?😳🤣) and so was the music. Noise level was a little loud. Overall a good experience.
Superb! And so pretty already for the holidays! Thanks Andrea and Angela for always making me feel at home!
Was a fun wonderful time for my milestone birthday and girls' night out. Def recommend for a party vibe. Food was excellent.
Fun evening with live music and lively people in the outdoor grotto. Perfect for a date night!
Elegant, classic restaurant with a lovely outdoor setting. Our waiter was excellent and very attentive. Food was delicious! We had the escarole and bean soup, best ever, seafood salad was fresh and flavorful and the Mahi Mahi was generous and delicious. We had a wonderful time.
We are regular customers of this fine restaurant since it 1st opened. We sat outside on the beautiful night and ran into good friends there - who we then sat with. Our bartender / waiter was excellent and the food and drink was outstanding as usual.

Excellent food and ambiance (minus a unusual screaming kid) which was why I frequent Bottogra bec this establishment isn't one where you have to endure that. However there is always those people that have to bring loud kids to a fine establishment where they don't belong. That being said everything else was wonderful. Advice to Bottogra, look into enhancing your appetizers a bit more as you need a wider selection. But overall everything was fantastic.
Our steaks were prepared EXACTLY how we ordered it, everything from apps to dinner were exquisite! 10/10 for taste, presentation and ambiance! We ordered the Pomtini and the Sangria and we couldn't decide which was better. Everyone was very hospitable and accommodating, our servers recommendations were perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better date night!
Our waiter, Connor, was fantastic! He was so friendly and attentive. The food was phenomenal, and I will be back because there are many other items on the menu I would like to try. Specials list was pretty long.
They were very accommodating and allowed substitutions and additions to the meals we had. The grilled octopus was cooked to perfection. The meal portions are big and we wound up taking some home. Highly recommended
Great experience for the Friday night soiree. Great entertainment and service. Food is a bit overpriced but the drinks are great.
