About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
  • Lively
Located in Hawthorne"s historic Degray house, Bottagra Restaurant opened its doors in early 2008. What was once used as an encampment for General Lafayette's troops during the Revolutionary War has been transformed into a modern, elegant restaurant with the feel and charm of a Tuscan villa. Chef-Owners Robert Vicari and Carlo Carbonaro have fused their extensive restaurant experience together to offer a variety of dishes hailing from both the northern and southern regions of Italy. Offering a full bar and extensive wine list, as well as private rooms, Bottagra
is a diners' dream for gatherings both large and small.

    Food was absolutely delicious. Be sure to make reservations as I can see it must get very crowded.

    They had the Frank Sinatra live singer. It was very loud, but the gentleman was excellent. Unfortunately, while he was singing, you couldn’t even talk to the person next to you without yelling. I realize that I am hoarse now. This type of performance and music is probably more intended as like a concert setting rather than background while eating. Food was very good as expected, and the service was quite good as they were attentive, and there was no rushing despite a near full house crowd. I most likely will return. Especially if there are two of us and maybe even considering eating at the bar on live music night to be away from the loudness
