ordered a margherita & the dough was quite good but the mozzarella tasted cheap & salty, rendered a lot of fat… tasted homemade in a bad way. but their hazelnut gelato was lovely! very creamy, smooth & not too sweet. biscotti was stale. i think the place is a bit overhyped & too expensive for what it is but the staff is very friendly.

This is amazingly well done Neapolitan pizza. & the place provides a great area for families to dine in. The servers are particularly impressive, adjusting themselves to each group, making them dynamic & efficient. This made my time & others experiences really nice. However it does get quite cramped & loud, though this make the service even more impressive.

I got the Margherita, supposedly it goes through a double fermentation, & you could tell. The dough had very impressive airyness in the crust, while having a firm gluten structure but still being extremely chewy. Maybe all places should do this. The centre was a little soggy though not nearly the worst, & the spotting on the crust with the char is some of the best, & the spotting underneath is also extremely good. The San marzanoes were very abundant & were a little too sweet (not sure of brand used) but still helped a lot with acidic balance. The abundance in the centre may have added sogginess a bit. One of the best parts of the is pizza is how warm it was served, with some of the freshest fior Di latte, & also very creamy for fior. Pairs well with the abundant sauce. Aromatics from Basil were lacking however. This is very close to the traditional style just done really well. Overall 9.3/10.

This is a great place for families especially but servers are able to cater to anyone very well. If you want traditional Neapolitan pizza done really well this is an amazing spot, & you can tell the servers & chef care about the quality, visibly checking it after making which is really cool. Beware it gets pretty busy though.

Service was ok but I don't get these places, all you eat is dough! A tiny blob of sauce, a feeble excuse for cheese & a basil leaf torn up in three pieces. That will be 30$ please. The profit margin from selling pizza with nothing on it must be great. Everyone from our group agreed the food tasted fine going down but was problematic the next day on the way out to say it nicely.

First visit to Bottega, & it was disappointing. The pizza was one of the worst I've had. Paper-thin, soggy dough, drowned in too much acidic tomato sauce. Calamari were okay, dessert felt like leftover holiday cake. Service was just as bad, forgetful waiter, no water refills, no bread. Won't be coming back. 🤷🏻?♀?

Great place for a night out. Beautiful outdoor terrace. Me my girlfriend had 2 entrées. The Fried Calamari was amazing & so was the Polpette(meatball). As a main course we both had a pizza. The pizzas were really good. The only disappointment was the pizza dough was soft & very chewy. Considering it was cooked in a wood burning oven we were expecting a crispy crust, light & airy. Still worth a visit.

It's a bit loud, but the food is good. Pizza dough is a bit salty. I felt bad because our waitress coming to take our payment had an open pant zipper. It wasn't just open but busting open. I know the food is filling, but I think it would be wise to enforce a dress code that emulated that class & style of the food & drink. I'm just saying.

Impeccable service, nice atmosphere & quality ingredients. We had the best salad & the stuffed pizza of the day. The dough was crispy on the outside & soft on the inside, which just the right amount of wood fire toastiness. The flavor was well balanced & delicious. Good selection of wines & digestifs.

Good Italian restaurant, food is fresh & tasty. Pizzas are made in a wood oven, with a fresh dough respecting the neapolitan style. Some items are overpriced for the quantity though (calamari with an extra for the tomato sauce). Overall it was a good experience, including the service & atmosphere.
