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.
Belle variété de Vins d'importation privée. Je n'avais jamais goûté à un riesling italien & j'ai été très agréablement surprise! Tout était délicieux entrées (calamars frits, salades de tomates, mozzarella di buffala & basilic) en passant par les plats principaux (pizza & pâtes), au dessert (gelato maison à la pistache! Le.meilleur que j'ai goûté depuis longtemps !). Le service était impeccable & l'ambiance agréable. Il y avait également des familles avec de jeunes enfants dans le restaurant & ce n'était pas trop bruyant ni écho.

I usually stick to the margherita pizza. The one here is pretty good. I'd give it a 7.5/10. It had been a while since I had been here. I was very disappointed with my meatball order. Although it's good, for $8 per meatball, it's way too much. The size of the meatball is half of what it used to be. I'll never order that again as I don't like to be ripped off. Calamari are ok but not the juiciest you've ever had. Gnocchi are good but the large portion could be bigger. I thought they made a mistake when they brought it to the table.The Mrs had the specialty pizza which had different types of cheese & truffle. We both did not like it. It's also way overpriced. It was something like $34. Service was good.
Nothing to rave home about. Dough was very gummy. The pizza had a lot of crust & barely any toppings, so basically you're eating just dough; same for the calzone, barely stuffed with any ingredients. The radicchio salad had 4 small pieces of radicchio & the rest was spinach, not really a radicchio salad more of a spinach salad. The flourless chocolate cake was not fresh.
Bottega Pizzeria never disappoints. Been going since they opened. Even though I try other Pizzarias, for me, Bottega is the best Napolitano Piizza in Montreal.
Je recherchais un restaurant italien qui fait sa pizza selon les étapes authentiques avec des ingrédients naturels & je n'ai pas été déçu! La pâte est incroyable & la sauce tomate maison est fraichement faite sur place! Le service était vraiment bon & rapide. L'ambiance est un peu bruyante.

Service impeccable !
Bonne ambiance même si un peu bruyant.
Cocktails délicieux.
Toutefois, selon nos goûts alimentaires, nos plats n'ont pas été des coups de coeur. (Goût, saveur, texture). Pizza au four à bois toujours gagnante pour plusieurs :)
How do I not start with the end. It was one of the best desserts I have ever had. A moist dense zucchini & almond pound cake covered in mascarpone & a strawberry compote garnished with a mint leaf. To die for. Authentic Italian oven baked pizzas with few other dishes & specials that change regularly. This place never disappoints. Ever. They should also run a school for training hospitality staff because they make you feel like you are the only guest in the house when it is busy, & it is always busy here. They all know the menu well because they can answer any question about a dish in a way that will help you make a choice you will love. Well done.
Très bon restaurant! Service bien, mais la distance entre les tables est peu importante donc un peu difficile de discuter. Cuisine délicieuse, mais les prix un peu élevés en ce qui concerne l'entrée. Je recommande les calamars frits bien que l'entrée était très coûteuse par rapport à la quantité. De plus, la sauce tomate aurait dû être incluse dans l'entrée de calmars. Mention spéciale aux couteaux qui sont de très bonnes qualités & qui coupent très bien, ainsi qu'aux pizzas délicieuses. En terme de dessert, le tiramisu & le sorbet aux framboises sont d'excellents choix. Ne choisissez pas les gnocchis toutefois qui sont accompagnés d'une sauce légèrement acide. Pour terminer, les pains sont incroyables, ainsi que l'huile qui les accompagne!

The team works great, getting expensive for pizza & appies. The lamb lollipops being bit ridiculous & charging for tomatoe sauce for the calamari.........
Succulent, without exaggeration one of the best pizzas I've had in my life. Excellent recommendation from our waitress for the pizza of the day, with an eggplant base. Bread is so good too. Will definitely come back & recommend to friends. Thanks for the entire excellent experience
Très belle découverte à Laval. La nourriture est vraiment très bonne, le service est quand même bon & l'ambiance du restaurant est sympa. Petit bémol sur l'accueil lors de l'arrivée & sur les prix qui sont selon moi légèrement trop élevés pour ce que l'on y mange/boit (pizza & vin dans mon cas). Je recommande cette pizzeria :)

Spent over 100cad as a solo business dinner. Noisy, slow service with an attitude... As a solo Patron I was ignored a lot when needing help. Pizza is exceptionally good & true Neapolitan grade. Good salad but.... Mediocre desserts: cheap Tiramisu (where is the mascarpone?) what can I say mine is better! Sad Pistachio gelato, great consistency but taste just like sugar, & I was given a sad attitude from the Kitchen when I sent it back. Anyway, I would go back but will stay away from the desserts.
Super découverte! Nous voulions y manger sur place mais beaucoup trop de monde & de bruit. Une ambiance familiale avec les tables façon cantine, il y a vraiment cette ambiance de partage. Cela explique ca réussite. Du coup nous avons pris a emporter. Très bon accueil, sourire de l hôtesse & un service tres rapide. Nous avons pris la Quattro Formaggi ,Tartufo Nero & la Diavola toutes délicieuses. Ca fait tellement plaisir de manger de vrai pizza italienne! Ce sont l une des meilleurs pizza que j ai mange. Je reviendrai... surement dans pas longtemps :)
✔️ Restaurante grande, muy ruidoso y por la noche con poca iluminacion en las mesas del centro, no se veia la carta 👩🏼💼 La camarera demasiado amable, vino cinco veces inecesariamente sin que la llamáramos. Supongo que buscando los ansiados tips. 🍕 La masa gruesa, dura y quemada. 👎 Muy poco cantidad de ingredientes. 👎 No te recomiendo pedirtela sin tomate, por favor. ✔️ Un italiano le tiraria la pizza a la cabeza al 🧑🍳 que está en el horno con la pala.
