    First they overbook or can’t keep up in kitchen. 7pm reservation. Seated at 7:45. Appetizer came out quick. Didn’t eat dinner till 8:45. Main courses were excellent. Caesar Yuck! Minestrone soup. Very average. Bruschetta good. Had 2 pasta dish’s. Family liked a lot. Veal Chop was excellent. Service was excellent. I will go back but will make 5:00 reservations so I can get out at reasonable time. Don’t like going to bed and still being full.

    Really good. However, the noise level is off putting. If measures are done to mitigate the noise, it would be a better experience.

    First time at this restaurant and the food was amazing. Our server and the rest of the staff was very attentive, the hostess was friendly and the ambiance welcoming. My only negative would be the noise level. It was incredibly loud. I plan to visit again, but am thinking maybe a little earlier might be a better option as there would be fewer customers and the noise level might not be as bad.

    Bottaio's is my parents' favorite restaurant, so naturally, we went for my mom's birthday lol. As always, great service, amazing warm bread, and delicious pasta. My mom always gets the linguini with mushrooms, and my dad gets linguine with calamari. I opted for the homemade raviolis in a creamy walnut sauce, and it was delicious! I also appreciate that our server sang happy birthday ☺️

    My husband and I decided to try Bottaio for his birthday yesterday. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. Our server was very friendly and helped me pick a phenomenal dessert. I had the spaghetti bolognese, which was very authentic and had great flavors. My husband had the veal chop, which was mammoth! I typically am not a fan of veal, but I must say I took a bite, and it tasted just like a wonderful juicy steak. We had the tiramisu which was pure perfection, along with an Italian apple cake with a scoop of gelato. My husband also had a chocolate martini, and I don’t know what the heck they put into it, but it was honestly the best one I’ve had at any restaurant. I highly recommend Bottaio, and am so glad we decided to try something new.
