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.

My family & I came here on Thanksgiving. I work at a nearby hospital and made a dinner reservation between shifts so I could see my family. We made a reservation for 8:15pm prior, so the establishment knew to anticipate hours of closing. We were told from the moment we were seated that he had to be order and be out soon because they were closing. They told us this three times. We were rushed to place our order and selected only entrees, so we wouldn't hold anyone up. When we got the entrees, we were asked if we wanted dessert. We declined. Unfortunately, our entire Thanksgiving dinner was only 45 minutes and that is how my family spent the holiday before going our separate ways for the night. The food was okay. I wouldn't recommend this establishment on any day, but especially on a day that has sentimental value.

The turkey dinner was a thanksgiving day special. Not on the menus. Our waiter read the special’s but I didn’t hear stuffing with the turkey dinner so I Specifically said id like stuffing. He took my order and it came to the table and did not come with stuffing. I didn’t say anything but I really wanted a nice stuffing with the turkey. it’s an Italian restaurant so I recommend staying with Italian food My guests all said they enjoyed their meals. The ambiance was great. I’ll go back for Italian food next time.

We both had the special Thanksgiving Turkey entree. It was very ample with both light and dark meat. The Brussel Sprouts were well prepared and tasty. Cannot say the same for the sweet potatoes. But overall a good value for an enjoyable meal.

The pasta was over cooked. And their special seafood pasta had small portion of pasta in it. The wine menu was not provided and didn’t match the price of the only Prosecco on the wine list in their website. Was jacked up by another 50%. Don’t bother with the dessert. Lime pie and Apple strudel; puny portion and dry. Store bought would have been better. Which goes to say.
