Great food selections and the wait staff was very attentive without being bothersome. A well-paced meal that we truly enjoyed. A return is in the works. The next-door market is also a fantastic place to shop.

I had the gluten free chicken parm and a wedge salad, everything was delicious. The chicken parm was crispy and just perfect. Gluten free cooking sometimes leaves you disappointed in the result. Not on this case, it was perfect !

We had a very nice time tonight. We tried an appetizer special which included fried mozzarella with heirloom tomatoes, crispy prosciutto and spinach leaves. The presentation was not what we expected but good. I had the eggplant parmigiana and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am a bit of snob when it comes to this dish and it did not disappoint. The other entree was chicken Saltimbocca. I did not try it and again the presentation is not what I am used to but was also enjoyed. We shared a dessert (can't remember the name) of cheesecake rolled in a cinnamon sugar tortilla with a side of vanilla ice cream. We polished it off. The best part of our meal was Dom our server. We were talking a lot. Dom was very attentive and friendly while leaving us to enjoy our time together. Highly recommend.

Botto's is consistently exceptional, from the classic Sunday Gravy to the more innovative specials. Last night was stellar, crab stuffed flounder with asparagus, butternut squash risotto with a brandy lobster sauce. They didn't overpower with the sauce, nor the squash, fish and crabmeat were excellent. We drive two hours to come to Botto's; we have never been disappointed.

Botto's is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant. All the food is fresh and flavorful. The menu is diverse and there are also daily specials. The service was excellent. Our server was Dominic. This is the second time that we have had Dom. We will be asking for him in the future. This young man is very knowledgeable, funny, friendly and was always there when we needed him. Desserts are homemade and delicious!

We thought the salads were a bit small in size for the cost. I mean really, how much does romaine cost? While the salads were tasty, the price was too high for the size. Also, the restaurant didn't have any decaffeinated tea bags for hot tea. How does this restaurant not offer decaffeinated teabags? The rest of the meal was delicious although a bit overpriced. Won't be back for a while based on the salad cost vs. size. What a rip off. I don't like being taken advantage of at rest where I am paying a high bill. Lastly, what Italian restaurant makes you buy a salad a-la carte? Salad is a staple with Italian meals, or so I thought.

Went for dinner with a group of 8, service & food were great, stayed until closing but no pressure to leave. A bit pricey $180 including appetizer, wine & dessert & tip for 2 but well worth it if you can afford it.

Our server, Patrick, was outstanding, one of the best servers I have ever met. He was super attentive and professional and helpful with suggestions for wine pairings and food choices. A terrific young man. A new, very high standard for server professionalism.

Our Server Dominick was simply outstanding. He was friendly, sincere, easy to engage, and attentive. He is a gem - I cannot state this strongly enough. Will you please tell him? He truly "made" our experience. Our food was delicious! My husband and I had not been to Botto's in many years (we moved away from the area for a time; we don't live close now but met good friends there who do live close by). In the years since we have been there, the dining area decor has been improved. It was very pretty! I would perhaps have liked dimmer lighting; that would have improved the ambiance. But truly, this was a good night!

We had a 7pm reservation. Had to wait 20 min. Then we waited 10 min for a server to come to the table. After seated we waited 15 min for a beer and an old fashioned. We were told the bar was backed up. Out server was very apologetic. The food we got was very good. 2 specials, very expensive!
The food was absolutely delicious. My husband had shrimp cocktail, minestrone soup and the lamb chops. I had the arugula salad and the chicken Saltimbocca. Everything tasted delicious. Our water was excellent. You can request him. His name is Brocolli Rob.
Outstanding service! Appetizers are a little pricey. Cocktails reasonable and well made. Highly recommend the eggplant parmigiana with linguini. Ravioli was very good but one of the two sausage pieces was dry. Desserts were good but not very good. The chocolate ganache cake was stale tasting on the outside. Overall- very good and I will go back.
There was no wait, we got seated right away. There were many great specials to choose from in addition to the menu. My husband got the halibut special with risotto, I got the chicken sorrento over penne. Bread and dipping oil/butter included as well. Will definitely go back!!

We had an excellent dinner. The food was outstanding and the service just as good. “Broccoli Rob” is an excellent waiter. We actually requested him. Everyone loved their appetizer, entree and dessert. We will definitely be back.

The food was absolutely delicious. The service that we had was absolutely outstanding. Broccoli Rob was our waiter, and he provided excellent service to us as always. We particularly love the booth that we get to sit in when we come there.
