    We visit Restaurante Bottaio as part of our rotation when in the area. We choose the Lake Superior White Fish as the "go-to" entree since it is unique and always excellent. They continue to improve the dish with innovative ingredients that do not disappoint. The bread is always an excellent starter with their soup or salad. Traditional Italian entrees are very pleasing, but try the fish entrees first!
