Bottega Pizzeria Ristorante

Six of us met here for dinner. There was a little problem at first but the owner fixed it immediately and we all enjoyed a wonderful dinner perfectly prepared. Every dish was excellent but please consider trying the chicken pizzaiola, a large piece of parmesan crusted chicken covered with mozzarella cheese and served on a wooden platter as it is fantastic. Highly recommended.

This place is a classic family owned Italian restaurant serving authentic Italian dishes. 5 star food and 5 star service. Be aware the meals are made from scratch to order so give yourself some time to sit and enjoy freshly made Italian cuisine you don’t often find around the phoenix area. Don’t try to rush this. You won’t be sorry you did. Magnificent food.

Started off poorly when we checked in and were told the patio table we requested and were told "no problem" had already been reserved. Take inside was nice, but the atmosphere is a bit louder than we were hoping for on a date night. We ordered a bruschetta variety and it was super good. One of the flavors had a bit of a bite to it which I didn't care for, but my wife loved it and I loved the other 2 types so that worked out well. My wife ordered the eggplant parmesan and when it cane out, it was cold. They made another one and it came out piping hot. Unfortunately, their style is "skin on" which is not my wife's preference. The manager offered to replace with another meal, but my wife declined. My lasagna was great, but the pizza that I saw delivered to another table looked amazing. Service was friendly but a bit lacking in following up (not filing up water glasses often enough is a pet peeve of mine), but we agreed we will give them another try and I still give them a 4 out of 5 on this visit. UPDATED 10/2023: Didn't have a reservation, but fortunately we were able to get a table next to the kitchen so we could watch the pizza guys do their thing. Great seats! We ordered the bruschetta sampler again, but this time, we ordered a pizza to share. No regrets as it was delicious! We capped off our visit with the Nutella Calzone. Yummy! Upgraded my rating to 5 stars in all categories!

This was my first time here. My friend and I were looking for a place to eat and I did a search on the internet. The photos made me decide to come here. We didn't make reservations. Luckily we came after 3 pm. The atmosphere is elegant. The service was excellent. The food was fantastic. I felt very relaxed here. The food is pricey and the portions are small, but the food melt in my mouth. I tried a few Italian restaurant in the valley and so far this restaurant and another North of Icavecreek are the best I ever tried. The flavor of the meal isn't heavy. If money wasn't limited iI would go once a week .

You can’t go wrong with Bottega if you’re looking for a great date night spot or a cozy place to bring the family that has great food and wonderful cocktails. This place is a must try they will surely have you returning. Nick, the owner is a dear friend of mine, and if you need anything, he would be more than happy to recommend some great dishes.
