Bottega Pizzeria is a renowned, family-run restaurant located in the heart of Little Italy and Laval. It boasts a wide-ranging pallet of traditional Italian dishes, extending from authentic Neapolitan pizza to a selection of sfizi, Neapolitan-style tapas. A wood-burning oven imported from Naples enriches their cuisine, thereby rendering it true to its native region. The welcoming atmosphere is populated by a dedicated, engaging staff.
Bottega receives praise for authentic Italian pizza with a wood fired crust and a varied menu that includes arancini, meatballs, pizzas and pastas, with many calling the margherita among the best. Service is frequently described as fast and friendly, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere for families and groups, though several reviews mention noise, close seating, or occasional slow service and rushed table turnover. Value and pricing draw mixed reactions, with some diners calling it reasonable for the experience and others finding certain dishes overpriced or portions small. Overall, Bottega is widely regarded as a standout Napolitano pizza spot in Montreal, delivering consistent quality and warm hospitality, while a minority of visits describe disappointments with billing, service pace, or specific dishes.
- Nourriture médiocre: pizza brulé & dur à couper avec très peu de garnitures. Pâtes aux champignons, fromage de chèvre & bouillon de veau (spécial du jour) qui ressemblaient plus à une soupe… aucun goût perceptible à part le bouillon de veau & portion très petite.
- Manque de transparence concernant les prix & plusieurs items en extra qui devraient être inclus considérant les prix élevés: Bière Peroni à 10$/verre (& non pinte) qui n'apparait pas sur le menu, calmars frits à 21$ en entrée qui viennent sans sauce (sauce tomate en extra pour 4$!!)
- Service très lent: Près de 2h pour recevoir notre nourriture.
- Prix très élevés considérant la qualité de la nourriture & la grosseur des portions.
Seul point positif: La musique d'ambience était bonne.
Pour avoir été en Italie, ce restaurant offre bel & bien des pizzas de style napolitaine, mais à 3 fois le prix & 10% de la qualité de ce qu'on retrouve là-bas.
Je ne comprends pas comment ce restaurant à des aussi bons reviews... Je n'y retournerai pas & je ne le recommende à personne basé sur l'expérience que j'ai eu.
Service: Party of 7, great service, waitresse was efficient & pleasant.
Food: good taste but lacked toppings. 26$ +tx+tip to eat dough. Disappointing, not returning for this reason.
All members of the party thought the same.
Cornelli pizzeria has delicious pizza with generous toppings (same price!).

Fabulous place to go & have a delicious pizza dinner. I had wanted to go for a long time & was pleasantly surprised. Our waitress was very inviting & made us feel at home with suggestions. We had 2 appetizers. The arancini's & the veal meatball. Both were perfectly done with care & delicious. The tomatoe sauce surrounding the meatbal is a delight We finished off with one of the wood burning pizzas. The ingredients used as first grade hence the delicious taste. A must redo.
Pizzeria niente di eccezionale, il servizio prevede che entri e mangi l apizza dove trrovi posto.
Un po' a chi prima arriva prima alloggia. Pizza alta al trancio
Nous avons commandé 3 pizza en livraison & à vrai dire nous n'avons pas été impressionné par la qualité…tous le monde autour de la table ont remarqué la même expérience.
Wasn't impressed. Calzone left a taste of creamy butter & bread. Crust was a solid 5/10. Atmosphere was nice. Service was good but what pizza place has no meat lover pizza. $10 for a cannoli. Meh.
Hi,
Went there with family over the weekend. Had a nice time, service was excellent, food was ok but prices are outrageous. 13$ for a bottle of sparkling water? 9$ to get a few slices of prosciutto on a pizza? Ridiculous! 14$ for a simple cannoli? gelato was subpa

The truffle & egg pizza was incredible. I also recommend the arancini. My only complaint is the pizza wasn't cut (maybe a French Canadian thing) & service was slooooow. We spent 90+ mins here for a lunch & were late getting back to the office.
Rushed service to clear us out for the next batch even though we had reserved.
The'complimentary' San Pellegrino offered at the start, is not free. The meatballs were good but the main dish of perogies in the same sauce as the meatballs, was tasteless. They stated it was gratine with parmigiana. It was mozzarella instead. The ravioli with a mushroom type sauce was pretty good but the portions are tiny. I think a safer bet is to get pizza rather than their pasta.
The tiramisu is always good here but the dessert ravioli is not sweet enough.
All in all we were pressured to hurry up & finish. We had our bread basket whisked away as I was reaching to have another slice.
Not cool.
Came here two years & the experience was great, but it wasn't on mothers day.
