Belotti Bottega

We stopped by Belotti Bottega to look at their fresh pastas and authentic italian offerings. To our delight, we discovered they also prepare warm meals on-site, so we decided to stay and enjoy the experience. We ordered a couple of pasta dishes along with drinks and settled into their outdoor seating on a cool yet sunny winter afternoon. The service was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food? Absolutely authentic and rich in flavor. We tried the Agnolotti di Lidia and Casoncelli Bergamaschi, and both were outstanding. The pork shoulder and prosciutto in the Casoncelli were especially delicious, while the beef shank-stuffed pasta of the Agnolotti di Lidia left us with clean plates all around. Belotti Bottega is a gem for anyone craving genuine Italian flavors paired with warm hospitality. Highly recommended for a cozy yet elevated dining experience.

The best stop for a much needed pasta pick me up! You order pasta at the register and take a seat inside or outside. It’s a small, cozy place so only bring your besty.

The food is amazing here; some of the best pasta I've had. It's a small spot, and if you can snag a spot in the corner seating area the experience is very cozy (and you can see them making the stuffed pasta!). Highly recommend!

Been here twice and both times were excellent. Do yourself a favor and try the white truffle pasta… AMAZING!! Apparently it’s seasonal but you won’t be disappointed. Everything we’ve had has been great including the olives and meat and cheese tray appetizers.

Super tasty pasta options, brought it to work and told a customer about the place. Turns out their daughter goes all the time. Definitely plan to revisit!

Great place. Loved the dishes they served, loved the sauces, loved the flavors, the wines, and on and on. Sure I could share a few food photos, but given the selection of the dishes combined with the depth and complexity of the flavors would do this best Italian eatery in the Bay Area any sort of justice. You'll be amazed! Check it out!

A great selection of excellent pastas for both cooking at home or consuming fully prepared dishes done in their kitchen in less than 15 minutes. It’s best if you can drop in personally, although delivery apps are popular for here as well. The space is welcoming and you can watch various pasta being made for added fun. My only minor gripe is the lasagna is often a little salty and overdone on the top - we still eat it with gusto though. A great thing to have in the neighborhood.

I absolutely loved the food at Belotti. I haven’t been back in many years, but I’m going to have to make a monthly trip back after this meal. We went for an anniversary dinner and ordered 2 sides (Brussels sprouts and broccoli), bruschetta, and 2 pastas (pappardelle and ravioli). The Brussels missed the spot, but the pasta and other sides more than made up for it. I could not stop eating the broccoli. Despite our outdoor seating, heat lamps kept us warm and the staff was kind enough to check in often, with refills and propane checks. Can’t wait to come back for more.

Visited on a Tuesday afternoon with my best friend, and wow, what a treat! I'd give this place a solid 4.5/5, totally lives up to its Yelp rating. I ordered the Scarpinòcc de Par, which was delicious, filling, and satisfying. Fair warning: I'd recommend sharing this dish because it's quite rich and buttery, similar to gnocchi in terms of density and richness, though the pasta itself is completely different. The fresh sage is absolutely delightful, and the stuffed pasta pockets are filled with what tastes like a creamy cheese. Very yummy! Now for the star of the show: my friend ordered the Spaghetti Pomodoro e Burrata, and it was simply WOW! The thick spaghetti (I'm not sure of the exact name) was DELICIOUS, perfectly al dente and pure heaven for my taste buds. That fresh, creamy burrata was to die for, and I only had one bite! I already know what I'm ordering next time. What I especially appreciated was the smooth, creamy texture of the tomato sauce, almost like a tomato bisque, rather than the chunky tomato sauces I usually dislike. As someone who isn't typically a fan of tomatoes or spaghetti, this might be the ONE place where I can actually enjoy it!

I love it here!!!! I love the convenience of picking up fresh pasta and cooking it myself. They give you instructions too, so you know exactly how to cook the different noodles in case you're new to cooking! The staff is always super friendly, and they always recommend something based on your preference! They are so knowledgeable! I love this location because it is perfect for takeout and for a cute date night, since it is their smaller location. I would recommend trying their gnocchi dish or their seasonal squash ravioli dish with truffles! It's delicious!

I did a pickup order for lunch after seeing this spot on tik tok. I've never had handmade pasta, so I was dying to try it! This was so so so good!! The noodles were perfect and the sauce was so flavorful. I'm only giving 4 stars bc the burrata was a bit thick in some places. But the spots where the burrata was more thin, it worked perfectly with the pasta. I will def be back to try more things!!

Terrible service... I've been ordering takeout from this place for years and loved it up until now. I went into the restaurant to order directly from them while I was out shopping in the area. The woman working there came to the register, didn't even look at me or acknowledge me after a long wait and then walked away and stood in a corner. She looked up at me after I stared her down and told me to wait and went in the back and never came back. There were multiple employees just walking around as well, and I was acknowledged by none of them. When I decided to leave they immediately helped the white couple who were waiting behind me. Needless to say, they've lost my business for life. Incredibly disappointed.

Obviously this spot is a lil pricey, but it's for good reason. I got the agnolloti with ciabatta and a salad to share. The pasta was super high quality and fresh. The sauce it came in was also amazing to sop up with the bread. Absolutely worth it.

Really really appreciate this place and the care they take in making their pasta and sauces. When I'm in the neighborhood I'm always buying pasta to go with their sauces. I'm into bolagnase and lasagna, so that's usually what I hope for, but ive had their ravioli and other things and it's still amazing. Portions are like teenage girls sizes so I recommend you order extra or else it'll be like an appetizer. Legit pasta experience here!

If you don't mind the very small counter seating or the 2-3 outdoor tables on the sidewalk, you'll absolutely love the phenomenal hand-made pasta here. We've had several of the items off the menu and absolutely everything has been cooked perfectly al dente and was super delicious. There's no table service per se - they will bring your food out when it's ready, but water and wine is all self-serve, which is totally fine with me. Small wine list, but fairly expensive markups considering there's no service beyond opening the bottle and giving you glasses. This is a great spot for pasta and way less fussy than their sit down restaurant.

Handmade pasta made right in front of you. First time visiting Belotti Bottega today as a friend kept raving about it. We sat outside of the pasta shop and enjoyed the agnolotti di lidia and butter lettuce salad along with the panna cotta. Every bite was pure heaven. The staff were friendly and the ambiance on Piedmont Ave. was really relaxing. We found street parking across the street too on this beautiful, blazing Saturday. I can't wait to return!

A small, fast casual and delicious pasta shop! They serve up many types of fresh pastas and items for takeaways but also have a menu for dine in and take out that is much more extensive than I had expected. The menu includes about 10-15 pastas -- all amazing and fresh! I went with the tagliatelle al cinghiale and loved it. My cousins had a gnocchi and pappardelle that were equally great. There are only a few counter seats inside and small tables outside, but service is fast so tables are cleared quickly or takeaways seems like a good option. Can't wait to go back!

Some of the best pasta I've had. We ordered their Agnolotti and panna cotta and were amazed by both. Service was so friendly and sweet as well. We will absolutely be coming back!

I love this local shop where you can either get cooked food to go, for dine in, or buy it to cook at home. They have delicious homemade pastas, sauces, and salad dressing. Their selection of wine, beer, and non alcoholic beverages is also superb. I take my kids to watch them making the pasta while dining in sometimes. Other times, I buy things to go. The tagliatelle pasta only takes 3-4 minutes to cook so a busy mama such as myself can boil a pot of water and turn it off to buy fresh pasta, sauce, and salad dressing from Belotti Bottega. Pick up my kids and then boil the water quickly, cook the pasta, microwave or pan cook the sauce and add the fresh pasta and voila! A restaurant quality dinner is served! My kids LOVED the bolognese sauce with the tagliatelle. I always get the lemon salad dressing but the cinnamon one is also really good. The shop is always clean and easy to dine in if you can snag a seat. There are a few seats outside too.

Very small take out/dine in pasta place. Service is ok, took a while for my panna cotta to come out although it looked pre-packaged. Casoncelli: yummy! There's some depth of flavor of the pasta filling although they're very similar, and the pancetta is great--not too mush that it falls apart and not too chewy. Way better than the rabbit casoncelli from bellanico. 9/10 Tagliatelle: instant 10/10, lots of boar and wine was strong. Noodles cooked PERFECTLY. Sauce was immaculate. Good for ppl who like strong flavors. Got damn Panna Cotta: not a huge fan. Top layer tasted chewy and dried out. Raspberry sauce was too sweet, and I would have liked some variation in the dish overall (fresh fruit, mint, etc.). Not worth $9. 3/10

I miss Italy and was so happy to discover this place cuz it felt like I was in the Mercato! I wanted to order it all!!! The Agnolotti with beef sauce was lovely (5/5). The Cinghiale Ragu 3/5 which I bought separately. The lasagna 4/5. I bought the Casoncelli separately which were good (4/5). Wish we lived closer; I'd be there weekly.

Belotti Bottega on Piedmont Ave is the take-out version of Belotti Restaurante e Bottega on College Ave. That being said, there are some tables and chairs that you're welcome to use to dine-in as long as they're available - though you'll need to bus your own table (understandably), the staff will still bring you your food and some fresh bread and olive oil to snack on. There is absolutely ZERO difference in quality of food between the two locations, and I have been to both the restaurant and the bottega many many times to make this assessment (and also to just continue enjoying their incredible food). As I said in my review of the restaurant - don't let the price tag scare you off - this is quite simply the best Italian food I have had in California. As a vegetarian, my favorite (by a mile!) is the spaghetti pomodoro e burrata, but the pappardelle al funghi has a vegetarian option that is delightful and the pasta alla ligure was superb as well. Meat eaters I've gone with have also spoken highly about the agnolotti di Lidia and the gnocchi alla bolognese. Don't sleep on the lattuga salad either!

The best stop for a much needed pasta pick me up! You order pasta at the register and take a seat inside or a seat outside. It's a small, cozy place so only bring your besty.

I was expecting great things. I ordered the Pappardelle and Lattuga Salad. The fresh pasta was amazing. So tender. However, the dish was too salty for me. The salad was pretty bare and the dressing was really light, to the point that the salad was bland. I'd definitely come here for the fresh pasta and make something at with it at home.

Super cute family run bottega. Lots of lunch time hustle and bustle. Food was good, cocktails excellent and service prompt. I want to give it 5 stars but I think I'm going to have to go back and give a few other dishes a try first.

I am very late writing this review. This restaurant is superb. I cannot wait to go back. I am of Italian descent and I have spent time in Italy and I will say that this is some of the most authentic food I have had on this side of the pond. My friend who joined me for her birthday lunch was delighted. She is also Italian, and we both agreed that the food reminded us of Italy and we were already making plans to go back before we were even done eating. She had the gnocchi, which were like little pillow puffs -just the right amount of sauce, and it was a mouthful of heaven. I had the pasta with wild boar, and I was not at all disappointed. The last time I had that was in Italy and it reminded me of my trip. It was very, very good. Service was on point. They were very accommodating, even though we were late and we took a long time at the table.

Absolutely delicious pasta well-served in a small intimate neighborhood restaurant setting. When I booked the reservation for the 2 of us, (about 2 weeks in advance), I indicated that it was our 1st time dining here and that it was my wife's birthday. She ordered a dessert (Bunet Piedmontese), and they gave it to us for free! Also, I ordered a bottle of Amarone (my favorite Italian red wine), but it was out of stock, so they gave me the option to have an even nicer bottle of Amarone, for the same price (I quickly accepted the offer!) We'll definitely be back.

I've had my eyes on Belotti (Bottega, and Ristorante) for a while so I decided to stop by here for dinner last night before meeting up with some friends in the Piedmont area. I got there around 7 PM and the shop was mostly empty - it is very quaint and cozy with counter style seating throughout the restaurant. I think it can fit maybe 15 people tops - there was no outdoor seating I saw but I presume that is because it's winter and a little colder outside. Ordering is done at the counter at the front - I opted to dine in and for my meal I got myself a Peroni, an order of the Agnolotti, and an order of the Gnocchi Pomodoro. While I was waiting for my food, several people were coming in and out for takeout - you can tell this place is popular. With that in mind, I feel that this place is perfect for dining solo, or with a smaller group (2-3 people) My food was ready in about 15 minutes or so and I started to dig in. I have to say this place is on par with, if not better than, some great pasta shops in SF (notably the Italian Homemade Company and Pasta Supply Co). The agnolotti was extremely meaty - Meaty Filling, meaty sauce (I believe it is a beef reduction... and god damn is is savory). The filling was tender and the pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente which gave very nice mouth feel and bite. The Gnocchi Pomodoro was also excellent - the gnocchi themselves were a pillowy soft delight to eat and the sauce was a perfect balance of creamy and savory. All in all, this place definitely can trade blows with some of the best pasta shops here in the Bay. If you're looking for a quaint, homey style restaurant serving dishes well above its weight class this is the place to go. 5/5

Pasta here is always delicious. The salad as well just wish they would've gave more burrata cheese on the salad considering the price.

We love a handmade, small biz, fresh pasta shop that sells entrees, sauces, or noodles a la carte! Like what many of the yelpers stated--Belotti is def a good takeout spot, less so a dine-in space due to limited seating. I love me some thicc azz noods, so the pappardelle was the apple of my eye. You can order online to pickup. The menu is extensive, from gnocchi to tagliatelle and agnolotti. I love a good mushroom/funghi pasta, so the pappardelle was the easy choice. Oof that beef reduction was so hearty, flavorful, and deliciously savory. The flavors were slightly more salty than I'm used to, but I ate every last slurp up! Prices are on the higher side for takeout pasta, but don't forget that these are fresh handmade noodles so you're paying for the quality and effort that goes into your meal! I walked here, so I couldn't tell you how parking is during dinnertime. BUT it is on Piedmont so good luck with street parking, is all I can say. They don't have outdoor seating, and very limited like barstool type seating for maybe 10 people max? Many people ordered online then came to pick up, myself included. If you're looking for a heart-warming, delicious Italian pasta to enjoy at home with a delicious bottle of wine, go to Belotti Bottega! Plus, the sweet gal working the front so kindly gave my pup a piece of their veal. VEAL. That's the good stuff. High quality ingredients, flavor, and service!

We ordered agnolotti as a treat. They were very delicious, pasta was tender, brown butter sauce was heavenly, I still might not get them again because the texture and taste of the filling resembled minced pot roast. Lattuga salad was pleasant but I wish the lettuce leaves weren't completely whole. We also tried the baby kale salad and especially enjoyed the candied nuts.

**BEST PASTA IN THE BAY AREA ALERT** A coworker of mine from Italy recommended Belotti Bottega and I did not disappoint. The pictures do not do it justice. Best Lasagna I've ever had. The Pappardelle, the Casoncelli Bergamaschi, and the Agnolotti Di Lidia were phenomenal as well! Great service too. Highly recommend!

Authentic italian food with great food and service. Definitely a must. Also, recommend to make reservations.

I love this place! My husband and I just came back from a trip to Italy and I think the pasta here is just as good! Recently we came and had the burrata salad, gnocchi and agnolotti. The burrata salad was good though the to-go order was a little light on the dressing with just a tiny container for the whole salad. The gnocchi and agnolotti were both unctuous, hearty and perfectly seasoned. In the past I've had their various other pasta dishes and they are always delicious!

Some of you may remember I wrote a raving review for Belotti. (I dream of the agnolotti) Last week we decided to order from Belotti Bottega. For comparison, three of us ordered exactly what we had before. It was just as good. If you're on Piedmont in Oakland or ordering from the comfort of your couch, choose Belotti Bottega!! Or its partner.

Fantastic and creative pasta dishes that are just as good as the sit down restaurant on College Ave but in a quick service setting. Great for a casual lunch or if you want something to go to finish preparing at home.

I highly recommend this place. It's in the heart of Piedmont, quaint and casual spot. They have a few spots inside the shop to eat and some outdoor tables too. You can buy fresh made pasta as well. The food is amazing and authentic and yummy!

Okay let me tell you that this place is amazing! Not only the food but the service was superb! I love the cozy vibe that the place gives but be mindful that indoor has a few tables only so it can get crowded and loud but don't worry they have plenty of space outside in the patio as well. You have to make a reservation ahead of time if you're coming here on a busy day. My friends and I ordered salad, tagliatelle and papardelle. They were all delicious! My tagliatelle was delicious but I do have a very sensitive buds and the meat which was a wild boar has a unique taste so if you have sensitive buds, this might not be the option for you. The host was mindful and took it to consideration of the experience I had which was very kind of her. On the other hand, the papardelle was delicious and the best pasta I've had thus far.

We were headed to Belotti to have a sit down, retirement lunch for a colleague. Whoops... it was a deli with stools at a counter for eat in. We walked around, but my colleague wanted pasta and that was the best spot for a pasta lunch. We pulled some stool's together and sat by the window, which worked perfectly. The lasagna was amazing and two colleagues ordered the Agnolotti di Lidia, we also had the Belotti Aperitivo - which was this amazing mixed platter of meats and cheeses - true Italian antipasti style. Lastly, we had the Battuta - beef tartare and a couple of gorgeous salads that were really too pretty to eat! The food was fabulous and the plating even better. Truly outstanding for a place that considers themselves a deli.

Authentic, delicious pasta! As good as I experienced during a recent trip to Italy! Limited seating and worth it! Highly recommend.

First time here. I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious Bigoli al Sugo D'Anatea - (thick) Bigoli pasta, all parts of the duck sugo, orange zest, Grana Padano D.O.P. (cheese). My friend enjoyed Scarpinocc de Carr - vegetarian traditional Bergamo style stuffed pasta, Grana Padano D.O.P., spices, parsley, garlic, brown butter, sage. This is primarily a pasta shop, with many customers taking home the fresh pasta and sauces made here. Luckily, we were able to enjoy the fresh, hot, yummy pasta at the shop (on two of the eight stools) while also watching the pastas being made! The staff was helpful, friendly and efficient! We'll be back again for sure!

I am obsessed with this place. I love that it makes fine italian dining more accessible to the masses via a very casual eatery setting. You'll still pay upwards of $15+ per pasta dish, but they are filling and use super high quality ingredients. Sister restaurant to Belotti Ristorante E Bottega but doesn't need an advance res. Belotti Bottega offers a variety of fresh pasta dishes. Pasta is made in-house fresh daily. The pasta is served with a side of bread to sop up the rest of your pasta sauce. The space is very small, with only a few stools lining the perimeter of the dining room. You can place an order online for pick-up. Alternatively, you can order at the register there. As I mentioned, the place is small, so you may have to wait outside and wait for some table space to open up. Fortunately, a group of 4 happened to finish up around the time our food was out, and we were able to secure a spot to eat. So far, we have tried the Spaghetti pomodoro e burrata, the lasagna, and the agnolotti (stuffed pasta) and the panna cotta. All were amazing. I loved each pasta, but spaghetti more than agnolotti... although the agnolotti I did takeout, and I wonder if it would taste better on site. Additionally, I've ordered their 8oz basil pesto and uncooked bigoli venti to go and make another day. With regard to pesto... a little goes a long way! The instructions do say to use within a week of defrosting so if you don't plan to eat that much pesto, I would try to separate out generous tablespoons of sauce to freeze, and thaw portions at a time. We did end up adding a little bit of salt to the pesto when we made it at home for addl flavor but it is up too preference! Finally, the service here is always great. The woman who works the cash wrap is super friendly and welcoming.

Loved the pasta we got at BB. The Papardelle was my favorite of what we tried. It's an incredibly rich dish. A fun calorie splurge.

pasta and salads wonderful, limited seating inside but there is seating outside. Service excellent. They sell their pasta raw too. The flavors were amazing!

Incredibly good pasta. Incredibly helpful staff. The woman who worked here today was the best. She let me take home a few individual pieces of four different pastas. She also gave me clear, quick instructions, which she also included on the box. All four stuffed pastas: vegetarian! Thank you for this. All stuffed with a different assortment of deliciousness. Out of the four pastas, one I would purchase, again, for a full dish was the Scarpinòcc.

I love the atmosphere of walking i to this quaint pasta shop. They have hand made pasta on display. They have a wide selection of pasta dishes, drinks, and dessert. The dishes are unctuous and light, perfect for a casual pop in. When the staff is not assisting you up front, they can be seen preparing fresh pasta all day round. This place is a must. I will be here every weekend.

This is such a great spot! Even when we moved a little farther away, we still fold Belotti Bottega into our eat out rotation. The tagliatelle and lasagne are always good and service is great!

We've been Belotti patrons and huge fans since they opened. Our recent dinner was the first disappointing. Food was great as usual but the server was awful, and made the dinner less than a great experience. We'll be back but if that pompous guy comes to our table again we'll just leave.

So much yum!! I recommend making a reservation; even on weekdays they fill up so quickly! We sat outdoors just off of College Ave and were surprised we could see with just the street light ambiance. It was a great night outdoors, and we were comforted by the heat of a few heat lamps. We ordered four dishes which was just a little too much for two people. One starter (salami and cheese board--the small is quite large!), one salad, and two pasta dishes (rabbit tagliatelle and mushroom pasta- can't remember what type!). Everything was delicious! Service was excellent! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Delicious pasta, great Italian sodas, especially the chinotto. We really enjoy the salads here to. This is a solid neighborhood fresh pasta shop.

So fresh and so good ! I definitely recommend and eat in person if you can. Everyone is so friendly and I haven't had pasta this good in so long!

As we walked by this place caught our eye as they were making the pasta. So we stopped in to check it out. As we walked in you can tell that it is a personal vibe and they are handing making everything. The prices are fair I see and the service is great.

I had a chance to try out Belotti Bottega this afternoon for lunch and it is hands down the best pasta I've had in the East Bay. Between my wife and I, we ordered the casoncelli, the agnolotti, and the battuta as an appetizer. This is the first time I've ever had casoncelli pasta and it won't be the last: this is definitely my new favorite type of pasta. Sorry pappardelle! The dough to filling ratio was perfect, and I loved how well-balanced the dish was. From the menu, it felt like the dish would eat very heavy because of the meat filling, pancetta, and butter sage, but this was not the case. The agnolotti dish did not disappoint either, though if I could only order one pasta dish again, it would have to be the casoncelli. I think next time around, I would skip on the battuta as I found it to be a little under-seasoned. The beef was fresh, but overall, the dish was not a standout compared to the incredible pastas I tried out. I can't wait to try out Belotti Bottega again.

Their pasta is fresh and delicious. Pre-covid, have also dined at their restaurant on College Ave. so expected the same quality & taste. Came on a weeknight to get some filled pasta to cook at home. Regarding amount, they recommend around a two-third pound of pasta for 2 people, 1 meal. I ordered about a one-third pound each of 3 kinds of filled pastas (the Agnolotti with minced beef shank, Casoncelli with minced prosciutto, & the Scarpinocc with cheese/bread crumbs) along with a large (12 oz) container of the duck sugo, and a Tiramisu. Everything tasted perfect. Even the water used to boil the pasta was tasty, and did not go to waste.

This review is for the delivery service. Food was good, but the salad was much bigger than the pasta portion. Also, if they used different containers it would help keep the pasta warm as ours was cold. Parmesean was an extra charge. We ordered a bottle of wine and was told by the driver it was substituted from what we ordered. Shouldn't they have checked with us if we still wanted it? Had tirimisu and Panna cotta which were good. Overall good, just felt they were cost cutting on the pasta portion.

I found out about this gem on Yelp. I ordered the Spaghetti pomodoro e burrata. Amazing. I mean, the freshness of the pasta cooked to Al dente, the sauce was so fresh and so delicious with great flavor, the burrata on top was the icing to the cake. Everything came together so well in this dish. I can't even describe the deliciousness of it but can say that with each bite, my eyes were rolling back. It was $19. Which in my opinion, was very worth it. If I could afford to eat that good everyday, I would get this meal every single day. My fiancé ordered the Casoncelli Bergamaschi. He liked it a lot. It was so good we order more for dinner. Fiancé changed up his to the Pappardelli. He loved that one so much more. His meal was $19. We finished our meals with Panna Cota and Tiramisu, & amazing! Everything was just so good. Parking lot is in the back and shared with other businesses. This restaurant is a tiny one and is not group friendly unless your group is 3 people and below. They sell sauces frozen separately & they sell their fresh pasta as well. They also sell Italian truffles for $700/lb.!! I spoke with the woman at the register and she told me everything is authentic and imported from Italy and the recipes are family recipes. Yes, I'll go back as much as I can & I recommend this to everybody.

I will go out of my way to get food from here. I love their spaghetti pomodoro. I highly highly recommend this place and their dine in location as well. You can dine in here, but it's not very good. Not really a decent seating as it's much more for take out.
