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.
Reviews for Bottega consistently praise authentic Italian cooking, especially the wood-fired pizzas, with many describing the atmosphere as inviting and the service as friendly and attentive, while dishes like arancini, gnocchi, meatballs, calamari and salads receive praise for flavor and freshness; some diners note that pizza toppings can be sparse or the portions small, prices can feel high, and a few visits were affected by noise, pacing or slow service during peak times, though most experiences highlight a delicious overall meal and a special, comforting Italian dining vibe.
I've been to so many restaurants in Laval & Montreal & I can confidently say it was the best experience I've ever had. You can literally go there on your worst day & leave with the biggest smile!!

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

Did not appreciate how the woman received us at the door. Indifferent & had an attitude. Too a long time to get served. Waiter was very polite. Food was excellent. Yet, need to work on the customer service area.
We were a big group of 22. Nittaya looked after all the pre-arrangements & was very helpful during the planning process. When it came to the dinner served family-style, the staff was amazing. They allowed us to eat at our own pace. We never felt rushed or bothered during what felt like a big family meal. Speaking of the meal, the food was wonderful. Served hot & fresh, the set menu was tasty & perfectly portioned. All guests left remarking on a great meal & feeling satisfied. I left feeling the same way but also feeling good about very little waste. Thank you Nittaya & staff for giving my friend an awesome retirement dinner 😊
Wow. This is a real authentic Italian place.
From Napoli to Canada.
Loved every item we ordered. It takes you to a trip to Naples..
Not the western way of doing Italian food, but the real Italian way of doing Italian food.
The staff are very welcoming & helpful. The place is need. The price is ok.
Such a wonderful experience
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.
