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.
We just ate here this evening. We took a chance they would have room without a reservation. We sat at the bar & we were not disappointed. The woman who seated us was very attentive. The pasta was amazing! I had gnocchi & my dinner companion ordered puttanesca. Everything was super. The pino grigio, the pasta , the focaccia (for the sauce of course), so fresh snd light. We ended up ordering a pizza to go for lunch tomorrow. Thank you again, can't wait to come back!
If you're looking for one of the best bona fide Italian pizzas in Montreal, then look no further as this is THE place! Simply amazing pizzas... succulent, mouthwatering, lip-smacking, scrumptious, delicious, delectable, ... I'm missing more adjectives here =) Love it! It's rather expensive though, so, maybe once every few months?! 😅 Don't forget the wine 🍷
Meilleur restaurant de pizza italienne à Montréal. C'est la seule "vraie" pizza italienne qui se respecte avec une pâte excellente & des saveurs typiques d'Italie. Les ingrédients sont frais & gouteux. Je recommande à tous.

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.
Évidemment le classique de la Bottega, c'est la pizza, mais les plats (entrées, pâtes, viandes) sont quant à moi ce qui rend l'institution si unique. Des plats simples, avec des ingrédients de qualité & une parfait exécution. On ne se tanne jamais!
Delicious pizza & pasta dishes. The waiters are very kind & the overall environment of the restaurant is great; welcoming & cozy. Will definitely be coming back soon. Also, ask for the chili sauce if you get a pizza, it’s extremely flavourful & adds a ton of flavour to your dish.
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.
Très bel établissement dans un quartier sympa
Le service est bien fait professionnel compétent & aimable.
La cuisine est excellente bien préparée & bien présentée & les pizzas au feu de bois.
Belle carte des vins ( un peu chers cependant ).
Un excellent restaurant italien que je recommande
L’ambiance était ce dimanche soir un peu bruyante c’est le seul bémol
