Consistently good. Great, gracious service from Giovanni. Greek salad, carbonara, clam linguini were all good. Each year, La Bottega is always our first restaurant in Vail. You won’t be disappointed.

I ordered a Gorgonzola Crusted Filet, medium rare. Crusted being something that piqued my palette. I received a filet that was well done, and a glob of Gorgonzola cheese, with zero resemblance of “crusted”. If you’re going to charge your patrons if they miss their reservations, by all means, you should at a minimum ensure the quality is worth making this place a priority. I will have serious second thoughts before eating here again.

We were treated poorly by the hostess on our arrival. We were a party of 5 and held our reservation for $200. The hostess seated an earlier reservation at a loud table near a large party in and otherwise empty area. The guests asked to be moved. As she was seating them she said we can sit right away since WE can now have that table. We declined. Ultimately they sat us at table in the back of the restaurant that didn’t seem like it was included in the service for that night. Our server was good but the tone was set and we did not enjoy the experience.

The two pastas we had were not al dente. And they wet out in less than 10 min after we ordered (that means they were cooked before and this makes pasta sticky).
