    This restaurant is closed. I found out by arriving for my reservation to see a sign on the door that they are closed for good. I wish I would have been informed seeing as I was prepared to eat brunch and had to wander around looking for another place to eat in the area.

    This restaurant is closed. Please disconnect from open table. Showing up to closed doors was a bummer. Especially when we brought an out of town guest.

    We made the reservation via Open Table but when we got there it turned out that the restaurant had gone out of business. You need to remove it from the app.

    Bottega is closed permanently. You allowed us to make a reservation and we drove to the restaurant only to find it closed. It was one of our favorite restaurants and we are disappointed to see it close. Even more disappointed that Open Table would allow us to make a reservation at a closed restaurant and have us drive all that way to find we didn't have a place to eat dinner

    The service was very bad, slow and unkind. We ordered salad and bread, the bread came very late after we finished the salad. When we asked why is it taking so long the waitress said that it is baked on the spot, which is a complete lie, the bread was dry and old and not fresh. We had 1 guest that we ordered a Kosher dish for her from a Kosher catering and the restaurant did not like it at all and almost didn’t allow us to have this dish. I will never come back or recommend this restaurant!!!

    I came to SF for an interview which didn’t finish until very late and so I decided to grab a bite to eat here from the reviews and because I was in the mood for Italian food. I asked the waiter for a margarita pizza and the pesto ravioli with lemon cream sauce, and the waiter said “it would be too much food for one person”. That slightly put me off because I was planning on taking left overs anyway back to my hotel and maybe even having pizza for breakfast the next day but I wanted to try something new so I decided to just order the pesto ricotta ravioli with lemon cream sauce, which was superb! Perfect combination of the sauces and the ingredients! I left there happy and full.
