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.
Wow wow wow !!! de très loin , la meilleure pizza four a bois que j'ai mangée !! Moi & ma fille avons adoré!! J'espère que vous allez garder la constance... normalement je change uniquement quand le cuisinier effectue une erreur dans la cuisson ou le goût de ma pizza , sinon , si je reçois tjrs ma pizza comme les 2 derniere fois que je suis venue , je vais être longtemps votre client! excellent service de l'ensemble du personnel! Bravo !! Je trouve sincèrement la disposition des chaises un peu bizzare!? la 1ere fois on m'a assie dans un coin de resto & la 2e fois face au four a pizza ...lol !!! mais bon !! j'ai trouvé la pizza tellement bonne que j'étais hypnotisé!! ahh j'allais oublier , les arrancinis sont SUBLIMES!!!!!! woooooww !!!
The service was slow & when the food arrived, the pizza crust & bottom were pretty burned for everyone on the table. One of the pizzas was overly salty. Also, the server upsold us on water. Definitely didn't expect this quality of food from the reviews. The ambiance was nice though, but it's the first & last time we go there.

La Pizzeria Bottega est restaurant que je recommande fortement pour plusieurs raisons : 1. La nourriture & la boisson : Ne vous limitez pas seulement aux pizzas ! Les entrées sont tout autant délicieuses & remplies de saveur. La carte de vins est très complète & ils ont un vin abordable un peu "passe-partout" (Voir la photo). 2. Ambiance parfaite : Même lorsque le restaurant est plein, il est possible de se parler facilement sans avoir à augmenter le ton. La clientèle est respecteuse des autres clients. 3. Le services est également très bon. Notre serveuse était visiblement très contente d'être là & nous recommandait de très bon choix de repas. 4. Prix : Maintenant les prix dans les restaurants peuvent être très dispendieux pour cette qualité de nourriture, mais à la Bottega la facture total est assez raisonnable. Pour un dîner ou une soirée en couple ou en famille, je vous recommande la Bottega !
I've been a regular for well over a decade, & I can not gush about this place more than I do. Great pizzas, the menu is amazing. The staff have never let me down. Lovely place to have a meal for a variety of reasons. 100% recommend.
First, such a great ambiance with a beautiful terrace & music.. Secondly, the pizzas are simply delicious. I made a slight request & the manager dealt with it with so much class & generosity; the service was simply impeccable.

Buratta salad, arancini & margarita pizza were very good. Pizza is large enough to split between 2 especially when ordering an appetizer. Pistachio Gelato was delicious but pricey for gelato ($10 a scoop). Only complaint was that the 6 of us were seated next to the entrance & the waiters kept on bumping our chairs when moving behind us to get to other tables. The restaurant wasn't full & the table in front of us would have been a better placement since it remained empty all night.
Les entrées du chef étaient excellentes, les pizzas délicieuses & les desserts à la hauteur de nos attentes, deux petits bémols, vin au verre trop dispendieux pour la quantité & la coquille du canoli était rassis & ils nous l'ont chargé quand même 🙄 belle expérience malgré tout
Les entrées sont délicieuses mais les pizza ne goûtent pas grand chose. La vege presque pas de légumes... donc ça goute la pâtes sauces tomate. Décevant.
Top 3 pizza in the large Montreal area . If I can be picky, dough was good but was missing a bit of air ( crust was full instead of being filled with large air bubble in true neapolitan style) , sauce lacked a hint of salt but I ate it all . Tiramisu was 12$ & was meh , no coffee flavor at all , the ladyfinger were like cake pieces . My friend had the homemade gelato & he was raving about it. Would go back for the excellent pizza but would not take the tiramisu ever again.
So delicious! 2 couples & we shared 4 entrees & a pizza. Amazing pear bruschetta, asparagus plate to die for, authentic tasting bolognese sauce with rotini & the 4th was succulent lamb chops & a truffle pizza omg to finish off ! We shared 2 desserts but we were already full. I should go more often, it has been a few years. The chef knows what he is doing! what an artist.
Great place for a distinguished ambiance. Very good wood oven backed pizzas overall, Dont recommend the Tiramisu. Will come back to try other desserts,
