Bottega est largement reconnu pour ses pizzas authentiques cuites au feu de bois et ses ingrédients italiens de grande qualité, transportant souvent ses convives en Italie grâce à une approche culinaire traditionnelle. De nombreux clients louent le service attentionné et professionnel, soulignant une atmosphère accueillante qui convient aussi bien aux groupes qu'aux occasions spéciales. Bien que la nourriture, incluant les arancinis et les polpettes, reçoive des éloges fréquents, certains clients expriment des réserves concernant le niveau sonore, la taille des portions par rapport aux prix, ainsi que des contraintes liées au temps accordé à table ou à la vitesse du service. Malgré des avis partagés sur le rapport qualité-prix et la climatisation, le consensus général souligne une expérience mémorable définie par une passion authentique et une cuisine excellente.
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
a very good restaurant. napolitan pizza is excellent. best in montreal. the daily specials are always very interesting & delicious. both locations are excellent.
Restaurant spécial le proprio a fait venir de l'Italie les tuiles de son four à bois je crois que c est de Napoli. Situé dans le milieu du resto les pizzas qui sortent de ce four sont justes differentes. Il faut les goûter pour comprendre. Moi c est pizza tomates double basilic mmmm mmmm mmmm & un bon vin rouge. L ambiance à des allures européennes. On se sent bien ! Allez y !
A wonderful meal in a timely manner--Italian food done right.
Entrees consisted of a plate of calamari & prosciutto with burrata. The calamari was well portioned, fresh & well seasoned; the tomato sauce that came with it was light & flavourful--absolutely excellent. The prosciutto & burrata was also delightful; it had chew with no sinew.
Our main course consisted of two pizzas: one with burrata, tomato sauce & basal, the other with rapini, sausage, & mozzarella. Both were cooked to perfection; the usual error of overloading the bottom of the pizza with flour to avoid sticking in the oven was not present--the chefs clearly know what they are doing! Crust was light, crispy on the outside, & had a good, flakey chew. Flavours were very much on point, & well salted. The rapini & sausage pizza was on the dry side as there was no sauce, but olive oil was provided & ameliorated the dish.
The desserts consisted of a meringue & an ice cream; I found the ice-cream to be slightly underwhelming--it was somewhat solid when I was expecting a soft & light texture, though the flavours were certainly there. The meringue, on the other hand, was out of this world. Light, sweet, & well portioned.
One other note: I ordered an espresso (as I often do) & was blown away by the quality. At every other restaurant I have ever dined, the espresso is always burnt & watered down. Though it was somewhat thin, & the "schiuma" not quite formed, the coffee itself was sweet, & slightly bitter, as it should be. While not the best espresso in the city (you will need to suffer an Italian bar for one of those), this was far an away the best espresso I have ever had at a restaurant. I ordered a second to be sure I was not mistaken, & was not disappointed!
Overall, with tax & tip, our bill came to just over 200$--well worth the money.
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!
