I could not fault anything at Bottega, the decor, atmosphere, service & especially the food. The duck was one of the best mains I have ever had after the beautiful stuffed zuccini flower for entre. Great wine list . Highly recommend this restaurant. More

This is my second favourite restaurant in Melbourne and good value for money, even if price range is upper range. I definitely plan on eating here again. More

To be fair I'd probably rate this as 3.5 out of five. We went mid week pre theatre and thought the service was good, a nice selection of food choices (I thought the goat was very good), and a reasonable wine list (including a good selection on half bottles). Thought the prices were more in line with what one would... More

We just stumbled into the Bottega, on bourke st, Melbourne as the Flower Drum around the corner was booked out. It seemed full but one table left so why not? The food, service and wine was all fantastic, much better than the 2 hat restaurant we'd been to a few months earlier. They say they specialise in Pasta but I... More

The restaurants and eatieries in this part of town vary in quality (and price) quite a lot. Bottega is at the dearer end but, if white napkins and great service matter to you as well as the food, this has ambience and good food to match. More

One of the best restaurants that my wife and I have been to. The service, food and atmosphere were excellent for our wedding anniversay dinner. Staff were extremely helpful and patient - especially when it came to ordering the wine as neither of us are experienced wine drinkers. Thoroughly recommend it. More

We had dinner here on a Saturday night, the restaurant was very busy and my only criticism of the place is that the tables are all very close to each other. However, the food is absolutely brilliant and the service we had was great too. Pacing of the arrival of food was good, we didn't feel rushed and likewise, didn't... More

Start with the service...we had 5 waiters serve us (1 took my coat and seated us, 2 took our drink/food order, 3 brought our drinks, 4 brought our entree, 5 brought our main), not one made conversation, eye contact, or had any care factor! Oh yeah other than the one that bought the hot plate and told us to be... More
