Yelp.com Review - by Christian L.

3.0 of 5 stars. This place is literally 50 paces from my house so I've had the opportunity to eat here 3 times now. The cheese gnocci was too rich.

5.0 of 5 stars. I come here pretty often for dinner. Great spot to enjoy some home-cooked Italian food. It's not really about presentation here, more about tasty food. Order a beer or some wine and chill out. Once…

2.0 of 5 stars. I used to read reviews on Yelp where people would talk about how pasta is so much better in Italy and how they refused to eat pasta in the United States, and I didn't understand. I used to think,…

2.0 of 5 stars. Good food, but I've never had worse service in my life. No exaggeration. The waiter was blatantly rude. He didn't even try to be nice. I was so shocked, I just sat there and took it... and now I'm mad…

4.0 of 5 stars. Really a 3.5, but I had a great time there, so will round up to 4. The service was excellent, despite what others have said. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. I had the chicken ravioli with…

4.0 of 5 stars. THIS IS FOR BOTTEGA ON LARCHMONT Be advised, La Bottega closes fairly early and is BYO. Also be advised (on account of the fact that I want only to receive positive e-mail), no one except New Yorkers…

Yelp.com Review - by sara l.

2.0 of 5 stars. Here's the thing. Poor La Bottega loses major points (2 stars) because the service is so horrendously awful (twice). I mean, terrible. Both times I walked in, no one greeted me, for like, a LONG…

Hidden Gem

One of the best kept secrets in WLA, La Bottega is a casual Italian deli that has surprisingly good food at reasonable prices. Perhaps because it shares a kitchen with the upscale Il Grano next door, the...

My absolute favourite Italian place - a hidden jem of the Westside!!

My now-husband and I stopped in on a random Saturday night, planning on going to Dolores, which is right across the street, but, our curiousity drew us in. We didn't even realize there were two restaurants (Il...

Try La Bottega!

I actually haven't eaten in the restaurant, which I hear is nice, but have been very happy with the takeout I ordered! Flavorful pasta, a wonderful cheese plate, hearty soups - really good stuff.
