Située au coeur de la Petite Italie et à Laval, la Pizzeria Bottega est une entreprise de restauration familiale réputée. On y sert une grande variété de plats italiens allant de l’authentique pizza napolitaine à un choix de sfizi, tapas de style napolitain. Son four à bois importé directement de Naples cuit la pizza conformément à la tradition de sa région d’origine. Enfin, son personnel dévoué et engageant contribue à son ambiance chaleureuse et accueillant.
Bottega est décrite comme une adresse italienne authentique où la pizza au four à bois est souvent la vedette, avec une pâte légère et une sauce tomate maison, accompagnée d'arancini et de boulettes et de pizzas à garnitures généreuses. Le service est en général apprécié pour son efficacité et son accueil, mais des avis signalent du bruit, des tables trop proches et parfois des temps d'attente ou de pression pour libérer la table. Les prix et les portions varient selon les plats, avec certains commentaires sur des repas chers ou des portions plus petites que souhaitées, tandis que d'autres soulignent un rapport qualité-prix raisonnable pour l'expérience. Dans l'ensemble, Bottega est perçue comme une expérience italienne solide, avec une pizza au four à bois très appréciée, des entrées et desserts convaincants et un service qui peut être mémorable lorsque tout va bien.
Very good food & service. Solid wine & liquor selections & I appreciate the unique daily specials of pasta & pizza, definitely one of the best options in Laval
La meilleure pizza que j'ai mangée, la pâte au four traditionnel,la sauce & le fromage juste assez salé. Les aubergines & rapinis sont aussi succulentes ! Je parcours 30 min de voiture maintenant quand j'ai envie d'une vraie bonne pizza. Merci aussi pour votre service efficace & accueillant.
Nice atmosphere & very friendly staff. There is a wide selection of wines in a warm & cozy setup. The food however is average & no dish did stand out. There is a good selection of cocktails on the menu, the negroni was decent.
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.
