La Bottega is a long time favorite for our family. We make sure to eat here every time we visit Vail and everything we order is delicious! From classics like a carbonara and pepperoni pizza to more specialty plates like rabbit or muscles, they have it all! We had a wonderful Apres meal today after skiing.

Great Italian good. Probably the best in Vail. La Bottega should definitely be on your restaurant list when visiting Vail. Early reservations are a requirement.

The fig bruschetta we chose was disappointing and didn’t seem like the description - salad was good and the tagliatelle with shrimp was excellent.

The waitress we had was not as hospitable as we have had in the past with you. We eat there every year twice a/ our first night and last night, not rude just not very overly nice as we are accustomed to - food was great as always!
