Previously this was my go to and their outdoor setup is great but my food literally had no taste. I ordered the chicken scarpariello which had a few small pieces of tasteless chicken and hard potatoes that I couldn’t get my fork into. Even after salting it still no taste. The dip they serve with the bread however was delicious. Overall though Very disappointed!

Everything about Bottega is great - the lovely staff, romantic yet not stuffy atmosphere, the food, the wine. I love this place. It’s great for a date, girls night, business meeting, big groups or small. Food is delicious and they have a great wine list. Vibe is quiet and classy. They have both indoor and outdoor (covered sidewalk) seating.

We had a great table (Ruth's favorite - by request!) and so the noise from the young crowd in the back corner didn't bother us (and was only temporary anyway). But the best was the food. Hmm! Great service as well. Everything was almost perfect!

food good, service good, but, for the price, you'd like "bigger" portions....serving bread after sitting down, a nice touch since you don't see that much anymore at other places, and it's somewhat understandable...overall, a nice time, and, also, salt and pepper on the table, "hard to believe", since you don't see that much anymore as well...would we come back?...yes, for the bread aznd salt and pepper of course!...(just kidding there)....

Saying this place is a scam would be an understatement. Let’s forget about how they don’t tell you the actual price with their “ made up list”, what makes it even better is their average at-best meals! Incredible how the owner is still in business. Thank you for showing me where not to dine.

The service was great! The wait staff were very attentive, answered all our questions about the menu, but unfortunately the majority of the food was not good. The meat tasted old & stale like it had been sitting for too long. Definitely not worth the money spent.
