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.
Reviews describe Bottega as a true slice of Italy in Montreal, with authentic flavors and a wood fired oven that gives a distinctive crust and texture. The pizzas and calzones are repeatedly highlighted as standout items, with the margherita and the calzone often described as exceptional or the best. Arancini, gnocchi, meatballs and daily pastas are frequently praised for their quality and freshness. Service is described as attentive and knowledgeable in many visits, though a few experiences note inconsistency or rudeness and slower service. The atmosphere is often called cozy, vibrant, and authentic, sometimes lively to the point of being loud or crowded, especially on weekends. Prices are sometimes seen as high, but quality and ingredients are said to justify the cost, with some calls for more salads or pasta options. Many reviewers consider Bottega a must visit and some call it the best pizza in Montreal, though a minority point to occasional service or value concerns.
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 !!!)
I had an amazing dinner tonight at Bottega, renowned for its Italian cuisine, & it did not disappoint! The pasta with gamberetto was simply divine, perfectly cooked with rich, fresh flavors. The ambiance was warm & inviting, & the staff were attentive & friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're craving authentic Italian dishes or looking for a cozy dinner spot, Bottega is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

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..
Incredible customer service by Mike & the whole team! Food portions are excellent, well seasoned, served hot with fresh ingredients. The whole staff is extremely knowledgeable & tend to our needs throughout our meal!
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.
