"Upper East Side’s loss is South Beach’s gain. This Italian sandwich spot moved from a walk-up window on 79th street to a brick and mortar on Ocean Drive. We’ve been to the previous location and will be making the drive to the beach for that n’duja panini. " - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo
"It’s not even a closure, just a relocation, but I’m bummed that Botta Street Food moved from its original walk-up just west of the 79th Street Causeway to a brick-and-mortar on South Beach — the original spot was super-convenient for grabbing a prosciutto or mortadella panini or one of their awesome breakfast sandwiches, and while I’m happy for their success I’ll miss that walk-up ease." - Olee Fowler
"N’duja, Salami, And Mozzarella Panini Alright, so I had two big Italian sandwiches this week and I will not apologize for that - especially because the n’duja, salami, and mozzarella panini from Botta is one heck of a sandwich. You’ll find this place on the west end of 79th Street Causeway, serving out of a little ventanita. They do pizza too, but their paninis make a great quick lunch or a to-go beach snack." - ryan pfeffer, carlos c olaechea
"I go to Botta Street Food for sandwiches and panini — reliable, straightforward sandwich fare that I reach for." - Olee Fowler
"Editor's note: Botta has moved to a new location in South Beach. We'll update this review after we've had a chance to visit. Botta is a casual walk-up window where you can get some really good Italian sandwiches, lasagna, or square slices of pizza. We like this place mostly for its sandwiches, especially the prosciutto crudo and n’duja panini - which are both wonderfully constructed with great ratios of meat and cheese. The pizza will do the trick too if it’s late and you’re hungry, but it needs a much crispier crust and some better toppings. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings" - Ryan Pfeffer
