    Our party of four enjoyed an excellent lunch at Bottega. Menu options were well-executed, ranging from salads and baked clams to pasta specials, chicken scarpariello, and a lovely Vernaccia di San Gimignano. We also enjoyed an off-the-menu Capellini Aglio Olio. Service was attentive and timely. A good choice in the vicinity of the hospital district.

    Good food, service. Virtually empty. Summer? If you're in the area, worth a try.

    We went for lunch after medical appointments in the neighborhood. We were super early for our reservation but there was plenty of room. The unchanged special was a good deal with appetizer, entree and dessert. I had the avacado salad to start which was massive…and so tasty. Entree chosen was the salmon, again a large portion and perfectly prepared. There were roasted potatoes and mixed vegetables on the side. Dessert was vanilla gelato…so good on a hot day. A lovely dry rose complemented the food. Service was excellent…. Really nice time

    This is a great restaurant to go with family, friends, or your lover. Favorites for me are fabulous pasta with shrimp, veal dishes, salads, and fish. Great deserts, reasonably priced wine and drinks with unbelievable service; they pay attention to all details and very accommodating. Highly recommend.
