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.
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.
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!
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 :)
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.
Great place for a distinguished ambiance. Very good wood oven backed pizzas overall, Dont recommend the Tiramisu. Will come back to try other desserts,
I was pleasantly surprised with the service, the food & the ambiance of this place! We were warmly welcomed by the hostess upon arrival who took our coats & hung them herself. We then got a place at the bar because there was no table available. I usually do not like high chair but these were supper comfortable (we stayed here about 3 hours). Then despite the restaurant being so busy, we were greeted right away by our waitress Genevieve who was super welcoming. They gave us a complimentary bread for starter & it was delicious with olive oil that you can add to taste. We order 2 entrees & a pizza, the entrees got delivered together & almost as soon as we were done we got our pizza. Perhaps the BEST PIZZA IN TOWN! everything about it tasted delicious even the crust!. We finished off with a coffee & dessert. The whole time we were there the service was impeccable! I remember dropping my napkin & I didn't even notice until someone from the staff handed me a new one after picking mine from the floor! I absolutely wowed by this place! It felt like being in a high end restaurant. 100% recommend
Some extraordinary pizzas & this is coming from a pizza lover! The trufle pizza is definitely worth a try but the winner for sure was the margarita with the San Marzano tomato, great service as well. The eggplant app is highly recommended as well Lastly due to the floor setup with too many tables the servers have a tough time navigating at times, highly suggest losing one or two tables

The service was very good , I had gnocchi & they were delicious , I can tell they were homemade & the tomato sauce was one of the best I ever had. Pizza was good too , although I prefer it more on the crunchy side , the ingredients are top & the wood oven did the rest. Recommended.
Amazing place, lovely atmosphere & fantastic service. Food was freshly made, good portions for the price. Waiting staff was super friendly & very informative. We took the recommended entrees of the day, calamari, Capriciosse & Provola pizza. Peach dessert was amazing. Definitely recommend, will visit again!
