Bottega Pizzeria is a renowned, family-run restaurant located in the heart of Little Italy and Laval. It boasts a wide range 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.
Overall, reviews describe Bottega as an authentic Italian spot in Montreal with standout pizza and calzone, delicious arancini and gnocchi, and a warm, lively atmosphere. Service is frequently praised for being attentive and knowledgeable, with several staff members earning enthusiastic mentions and wine pairings enhancing the meals, though a few visits note inconsistent service and higher prices. The wood fired oven contributes a distinctive flavor and texture that many find authentic, while a minority feel the dough can be soft or heavy and some evenings can be noisy. Taken together, Bottega is viewed as a top choice for Italian dining in Montreal, delivering flavorful dishes and a welcoming vibe.
One of the best pizzas i ever had. Bottega is consistent when it comes to their quality & service. I've been going on & off for more 10 years & they are always great.
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.

Pizza exceptionnelle... pâte croustillante, légère, goûteuse, chaleureuse,... Si vous passez par Montréal, la Bottega est une évidence incontournable.... la pizza est un nuage de bonheur! (Ah oui, & puis les calamars frîts faits maison........ sans hésitation !!!)
Very nice pizza, had the diavola & a white pizza. We also had the sasizza with rapini which we liked, one star minus because its overpriced in my opinion, but I can imagine importation prices are a pain..
Remove Trunchetto from your menu with haste!! There was single piece of ham covering only half the piece of bread. Almost no cheese. No sauce. 1 vegetable, 1 thin slice of ham. For the price of a Pizza.

Je ne comprends pas que ce soit aussi bien noté. Nous avons commandé des pizzas, ce n'était pas du tout à la hauteur d'une bonne pizzeria. Le personnel était sympathique, mais je n'ai pas apprécié qu'on me laisse attendre 10 minutes à la porte alors que j'avais réservé & que le restaurant était à moitié vide.
The pizza was excellent, & the service was attentive, making for an enjoyable dining experience. However, the acoustics of the restaurant were a significant drawback. It was so noisy that we had to shout to hold a conversation, which was quite unpleasant.
Les pizzas étaient plutôt bonnes! La croute de l'une d'entre elles un peu brûlée mais sinon très bonne. Le service était décevant. On a eu beaucoup de difficulté à attirer l'attention des serveurs pour avoir du vin/cocktail.
Très bonne adresse de pizza. Croûte très mince, excellente & garniture originale. Cadre très agréable & le service est impeccable. Ce n'était pas ma première fois & ça ne sera pas la dernière non plus!
An average Italian restaurant to me, which was very good but also nothing special. The focaccia & oil was great & the gnocchi was decent too, but I didn't think the meatballs were special. I liked the pizzas we got & the calzone was neat to order but they felt a little forgettable. Broccoli on a pizza was a bit unnecessary. The basil ice cream was very memorable & mint-y in a refreshing way.
We had so much fun here! Our wait staff was lovely & kind! The food was top notch & satisfied all of our desires for dinner. I highly recommend the pizza & the tiramisu! We would go back here in a heartbeat.
Le lieu est très bruyant. Pour la cuisine ... j'ai mangé une pâte à pizza pas mal cramée avec quelques tomates cerises basiques & de la roquette. J'ai dû prendre un dessert pour être comblée.
