The food and atmosphere were absolutely spectacular! The martini was so stout that I only needed one! The rabbit was indescribably delicious. And the chocolate dessert was incredible! Our server was very attentive, polite, and professional. I was highly impressed with the entire dining experience, and would love to return again one day when I travel back through! I would highly recommend this restaurant to others as well.

We started off with the bread service and it was so good. The Parmesan soufflé was next and I could have eaten 2 more of them, it was simply amazing. I got a fish dish and my wife got a risotto and they were both so delicious. We also got their famous “Orange Thing” and it’s such a refreshing treat!

Delicious food, great atmosphere, excellent service. We came here for a late Tuesday lunch and were not disappointed. We ordered the chicken scaloppine and salmon dishes. Both were perfectly presented with flavors that were well paired.

Situated on Highland Ave, Bottega reminded me why I love Birmingham. The food was great, service was awesome, and the staff was very knowledgeable about food and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The atmosphere is very art chic with a sprinkle of Southern charm. Recommended! Definitely sit on the patio if you can get a spot!

Used to go there for the parmesan soufflé bc it is the best and other dishes are great as well…! Their food, service and atmosphere are all top notch ♥️ Moved to different state a year ago so I can’t go here anymore but I miss their foods so much…Adding three pictures of parmesan soufflé..!!

Beautiful atmosphere inside and out. Great drinks . I tried a couple of different wines off their wine menu. They were all great . Our party had the salmon Flatbread and deviled eggs with caviar for appetizers, both were delicious. We had mac n cheese with chicken, Spaghetti carbonara, pesce del giorno and we all tasted eachothers. They were amazing. Ryan, our server was the best . We couldn’t have asked for a better dinner . I highly recommend.

I can find no faults with this establishment. Accordingly, I’m rating them with five stars. The staff is patient and highly professional. The space is very clean and pleasant. The food is (we had) is spectacular (lamb and rabbit dishes), with the exception of the choice of using a caper vinaigrette on the broccoli… (perhaps lemon and olive oil would pair better?). The deserts are inspired, especially the tiramisù. Note: One side is a Cafe (great for lunch). The other a formal dining room. I liked it so much we ate at both.
