Botte Bar

We live in the neighborhood and had been meaning to try this place and unfortunately were disappointed. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super friendly. He was from a different location just helping out for the night but was so nice. However, they were out of prosciutto which my boyfriend really wanted, the pasta 100% was not homemade (which is fine but don’t advertise that), my sparkling rose was flat (as was my boyfriends aperol spritz), the chocolate cake was cold on the middle, and the restaurant smelled kind of gross I couldn’t put my finger on it. The atmosphere was really nice other than the smell.

We visited Botte Bar for dinner while we were in the area. It's a cozy restaurant with a spacious bar and an incredibly friendly staff. The ambiance was unique, with music playing and a charming stack of old VHS movies available for patrons to play on a tiny tube TV at the bar. The food was reasonably priced and delicious. Although our dinner took longer than expected to arrive, the staff's excellent customer service shone through when they brought us two complimentary glasses of wine to apologize for the delay, even though we hadn't mentioned it. This was the best meal I had in the area.

I'm very disappointed. I ordered my food for delivery after working a 12 hour shift. Hoping to relax with a refreshing drink and meal. I received what I would've expect to be dinner however I received a lunch portion of food and an half filled cup. For the amount I paid I expect atleast utensils and a straw. Really wish I read the reviews first.

Ordered delivery. Came late. Never ordering from this place again. The portions are a rip-off. It’s way over priced. There are much better options in Astoria for the cost. And better taste as well. Adding photos of how outrageous it was. A To-go bowl of pasta that cost $30 and our garlic bread that was $8. Both were a joke.

Precoan bar in the heart of Astoria, Alejandro pleased us with his attitude, level of work and professionalism! Highly recommended

Delicious food & refreshing cocktails. I can’t wait to come back and try other items on the menu! I passed by so many times and only sat down and ate here recently. It has a nice ambience as well! Definitely would recommend to a friend.

My boyfriend and I are new to the area and been wanting to try this place for a long time. We ordered one of the pizzas and the rigatoni vodka and were so disappointed. The pizza was floppy and soft and lacked flavor and the pasta was definitely not homemade and tasted like ronzoni or store bought pasta. The cocktails were weak but tasty and the service was good for a Saturday night, but we will not be eating here again. I’ve never had a bad vodka sauce before and have to say this was a first for me. Also, the chicken we got tasted like 3 days old cut up chicken from a burnt cutlet. It was terrible. I’m not one to leave bad reviews, but this place needs work and we’re disappointed we spent money on food that was not up to par

Came here on a Friday night with my friend to have dinner and a couple drinks, we sat at the bar and the food was delicious. The service was impeccable and the drinks were amazing, definitely my new fav place. We were served by the bartender David who prepared for us some of his special drinks, the espresso martini was the best I ever had in my entire life, Salvatore was the server who helped us through the entire night, both of them so nice and polite

A social hotspot perfect for mingling and enjoying drinks. Food: Unfortunately, the culinary experience doesn't live up to the vibrant scene. The offerings are underwhelming with modest portion sizes. The pasta tended to be overcooked to the point of mushiness, and the sauce gave the impression of being pre-made rather than freshly prepared. However, it's worth noting that the beverages seem to be the main attraction here. Service: The service, albeit slow, can be attributed to the packed house, as there wasn't an empty seat to be found. Atmosphere: This bustling hub of social activity exudes a dim, intimate vibe with a touch of sophistication. An unexpected touch is the presence of a 13-inch tube TV playing Star Wars on VHS, adding a quirky, nostalgic element that feels somewhat misplaced.

Came on a busy chilly Friday.ate curbside heated outdoor dining still available. Service was very slow. 2 waiters and a bartender. I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere from the outside looking in. Definitely a busy street to eat a meal on the curb. When the heated shed was available I moved with my partner. Food: we tried 2 different Pasta dishes, they were ok. I will come back for drinks only. The "Made you blush " drink it was delicious and cute. It was lightly carbonated and sweet. Like a raspberry jolly rancher. I want one right now, yum!

Cocktails: 5/5 Weird service: 2/5 The Made Ya Blush is lush strawberry deliciousness that tastes too much like juice to be safe for your liver. And the Not for Sale is not that different, though it's decidedly stronger and fruitier. They're weird about whether you sit at the bar or at a table if you're just having drinks--even when it's 2:30pm in the afternoon and there's literally no one there. We had to argue to be able to remain at our table when they initially seated us at a table to begin with. They finally let us keep our table because, well, there was no one else at the restaurant then. No sh*t...? SMH

I came to botte bar and treated myself to a requisite 3 course meal! This is a spot for locals and you can tell! I will definitely be back. Food: I ordered the suppli - which is essentially an arancini! It's al dente but very good and extremely filling. It also has a spiciness to it which is great. Then I had the gnocchi as my main and the portion size is huge and it is super flavorful! It melts in your mouth. I would love to try some of the other pastas. For dessert, I had the chocolate lava cake which was perfection. It was steaming on the inside which was so lovely. Ambience: I love the vibe of this place. It's cozy and upscale at the same time. I sat at the bar, which was amazing! Service: really amazing service! Price: I came here during happy hour and the apps are almost half off. The app is normally $14 but I paid $8. The pastas are each about $20. The desserts are $9 each! Reasonably priced and good portion sizes

If I could put no stars I would. I ordered a pasta and it was sooooo watery. I couldn't finish it bc it was just a puddle half way through. But the worst part was the power went out during a heat wave. This caused a longer wait for our food. We were sitting all sticky the entire time. AND THEN we asked for the check twice and only on the second time they told us cash only bc the power went out. So we said we have no cash and they told us to go to the deli pay the $5 service charge on the atm so I can pay the bill. My poor husband had to walk in this 99 degree weather to the chase blocks away. We asked for a discount and they gave us a BULL SHIT answer. But hey they gave us a $12 bottle of rose so it's all good (sarcasm). We understand it's out of your hands but not our fault and something should have been done for not just us but all customers. EDIT: my friend just said the bread was stale

If you're looking for a little cozy spot in Astoria with delicious quality Italian food, this is it! Came here on a Saturday evening and reserved for two but honestly for two people, reservations are probably not necessary (still make one just in case). We chose to sit outside since they had a nice outdoor area set up and it was perfect. Also loved that they had music playing too. Ordered the grandma's meatballs as an appetizer and then shared the Pizza Diavola and Rigatoni ai 4 Formaggi with truffle oil. Meatballs were a 10/10. Flavorful, warm and sauce was perfection. The pizza was also amazing! I really loved the rigatoni but then at one point found the truffle oil to be a bit overwhelming. It was still really good and I could have finished the whole plate had I not been too full. I will definitely be back!

What we ordered: Fried Zucchini, Spaghetti Carbonara, Chicken Parmesan (with vodka sauce), garlic toast w/ marinara side, and the lava cake for dessert. I love the service, the ambiance, and the food! Only wish they had served a bit more sauce on the fried zucchini and with the marinara / garlic toast breads side. Maybe the chicken in the chicken park could also get a crunchier crust to it. Fresh Parmesan and red pepper flakes offered with the pasta dishes, it was pretty filling! Our server was awesome, very attentive and I would love to come here again.

I have been here twice so far with my partner, and always had a good time. The outside seating in the summertime is pretty nice. We ordered a tagliere (cold cuts), burrata, bruschette, and some kinds of pasta within the two times we've gone and loved everything so far. The guy that serves us is Italian and remembers us already! He's quick and attentive. I will continue coming here

Been one of my go to bars over the last couple of years. Great for a first date with or just to enjoy a great conversation. Make sure to ask about the Zofi! Great story behind it and a tasty drink after a hard day.

Food is amazing service is spectacular the price is nyc. If it was more affordable it would get five stars strongly recommended just bring your American Express black card.

I've never even heard of this place until my friend suggested it to me. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It's not a big place, so reservations should be made. It's definitely not for those who have more than 4 people in their party. They only have one gender less bathroom, too, so be wary of that. I did glance at the menu online prior to heading to the restaurant. They did have a drink menu, but I didn't see any mocktails. However, we did ask, and they had one which was strawberry flavored. It was a bit too sweet, so I probably wouldn't order that again. I eyed the Diavola pizza which I chose as it had tomatoes, marinara, chili, spicy salami, and mozzarella. It didn't really look good, but it was delicious. We also ordered the carpacci. The first one in that section is Carpaccio di Polpo - thinly sliced Octopus in lemon dressing, and that's what I got for the table. I didn't like it too much as I hardly tasted or saw the Octopus. I tasted a cold salad and some ice chips. It was strange. I didn't like the pasta that was ordered either. Cacio e pepe was ordered, and in it was spaghetti with cheese and black pepper. The flavoring wasn't what I expected, I had to add a lot of red pepper flakes to this dish. Last but not least, we ordered the tiramisu. It was good! I'm not sure I would go back as there are so many Italian places in Queens and in Astoria.

One of my favorite restaurants in Astoria. The food has never disappointed and always left me super satisfied. Portions are a good size, appetizers are perfect for groups of 2 or 3 each. The service is always prompt, and staff is always easy to call over. The people that work here always seem like they like to be there, and that adds an additional layer of comfortability for the guests. Restaurant is perfect for a date night or group dinners. Restaurant is small and intimate.

Always surprised this place doesn't get more mentions - one of my favorite places to eat out in Astoria. Cozy vibes, great drinks and delicious food.

3 stars. +1 for not sitting indoor parties right next to each other if empty tables were available. We made a reservation for 8:15, and we're seated almost immediately despite coming a few minutes late. Small little place, the indoor area was pretty cold, and the windows were open to the outside so the ac and the breeze outside were all kicking in. The lighting in the table is intimate. Dim lighting, small lamp bright enough to read the menu but not bright enough to see the stains on your bf's shirt. We got the carbonara, gnocchi alla sorrentina with chicken, and the Pomodoro bruschetta. I found the portion size to be quite small for $18 entrées. After finishing the appetizer and the entrée, I felt mildly(?) full and I'm petite! The size of carbonara was like a double ice cream scoop, easily devour-able. Strong flavors in both entrees. We liked the bruschetta! Toasted and extra crunchy, with a side of bread (not toasted). The sangria was alright, I liked it - more on the sour side and not too strong. The tables were pretty small, I felt like I was going to knock the pitcher of water over and there was barely enough room to put anything more than 1 dish on the table. The bellboy/waiters kept coming by to take our dishes away (almost immediately) once we finished. Food did feel like it took some time to come, but it was super hot when it arrived. A party of 2 came in around 8:50pm-ish and they didn't make reservations. They were easily able to grab a spot, many tables open.

Saturday brunch in Astoria, can always find the right spot whether it is bottomless or a simple pitcher with some amazing pizza. Bought their pulsed deal as they seemed to have great reviews and can always have a great Italian brunch. We love the personal size pizza with the morning passion pitcher, it was delicious. The place is authentically Italian, and felt the homey vibe for someone whose been to Italy. Service was great as well with an authentic Italian behind the bar The delt was worth it as a first time trying the place and would definitely love to visit their other location for try their charcuterie board!

My daughter and I were looking for a new place to try in Astoria; I had a craving for oysters--so Yelp led the way. At first glance, the place is very cozy and intimate--probably not best for bigger parties/groups. I ordered 1/2 dozen oysters and the small meat and cheese board to start. The presentation on both dishes are nice but the graze board could've been accompanied by more bread (2 pieces of bread doesn't seem to be a great ration to the cheese and meat) and would been complimented by either a fruit jam or a grainy mustard. The oysters seemed to be shucked earlier in the day but were not horrid. The drink "better than the alternative" was crafted well; I enjoyed it. My daughter had chicken parm but with vodka sauce which was delightful.. she nearly licked the plate clean! My Alfredo was simple yet satisfying, although the rigatoni had a little more chew than al dente should be. My daughter kindly asked that our server put a candle in my dessert. He came out and joined her to sing happy birthday for me Both our desserts were delectable. We left with no to go boxes and quite thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the service.

I don't understand how this place has so many good reviews.. maybe they've gone through recent changes or perhaps we were just unlucky and went on an "off" night. While I don't usually like to leave bad reviews, the pizza we were served was such a joke that I couldn't let it go unmentioned. To be fair - our beets salad was fine, and while we didn't get drinks, other people's cocktails looked great. But back to the pizza - in NYC (and Astoria!) where there is no shortage of amazing pizza options - I don't understand how they could continue to serve what they did today and retain these reviews. I hope they ran out of flour or something, and that would explain it (?), because what we had seemed like a frozen dough/crust with some tomato sauce and cheap mozzarella thrown on top. I wish I took a picture. Fwiw - it was so unexpected that I had to check previous reviews after and saw what looks like a solid (fresh bread/crust) pizza in photos from a year ago. That was not the case today. Maybe I'd go back, if only to prove that this was a one-off. Reviews of their pastas seem great, so maybe we should've ordered that. Actually no - in this economy, my money is better spent at the several other solid Italian options in the neighborhood.

I ordered food via Uber Eats, so my experience is through that process. Got Spaghetti alla Vodka and Cacio e Pepe spaghetti. For $20 each, I was shocked by the portions. Both pastas were just slightly overcooked for me. Vodka sauce was mid at best. No character, no punch of flavor from either a robust tomato or some acidity from the vodka. It was just- there and pink. Cacio e Pepe was horrible to me. No burst of pepper flavor, no complexity from the cheese- in fact, it has almost an unsavory flavor to me. I couldn't bring myself to eat it, $20 thrown away. I called to ask for extra Parmesan from the restaurant, and the woman who answered the phone was very nice and accommodating.

I ordered take out from Botte and it was amazing! Reminded me of food I have eaten in Italy. My meal was ready quickly and when I went to pick up my order, I loved the inside of the restaurant. Can't wait to eat there soon.

My friend and I visited here just this evening! When I arrived I didn't know how tight it was. The place is small but looking at some of the pictures, the food looked absolutely delicious! When we arrived, we sat outside and the waiter immediately took our orders. We were both HUNGRY so we knew what we wanted. I ordered the Caesar salad and the rigatoni vodka. The food was absolutely delicious and it was the PERFECT PORTION! This is definitely a great place to go in Astoria! I would love to go again and try some more items off of the menu!

Delicious authentic Italian pasta. Had multiple appetizers and pasta dishes and they were all amazing. Highly recommend the carbonara and the cacao e Pepe fries. Also very reasonably priced!

Went for my birthday to the Astoria location. Quaint, nice vibe and everyone was so nice. AMAZING FOOD! I've never seen the type of bruschetta they have... Delicious! Oh and the Spaghetti alla Carbonara... out of this world!!!

Best happy hour. Amazing staff that will a always go the extra mile. I don't get here often but every time I do I am always impressed. The happy hour espresso martini is the best way to kickoff the weekend. The reduced price food menu still provides a hearty amount of food. The dinner there is also epic, perfect atmosphere for a fist date or a friend hang for a Friday happy hour!

Small restaurant with a big menu and great service. We got espresso martinis, the fried mozz as an appetizer, and the rigatoni vodka with crumbled sausage for our meals. The rigatoni portion was much smaller than we wanted but the quality and taste were superb. 4/5 due to value - a little pricey for the small portion, but might come back since the quality was great.

Love this place! They have so many delicious pasta options -- the best cacio e pepe you'll find in my opinion, so simple and perfectly made. Also great for cocktails or wine! I love their You're My Boy Blue cocktail with Aquafaba. Such a unique sub for egg white I haven't seen offered at other places. Excellent tiramisu ;) The cherry on top is the friendly and awesome service here! Thank you! This is a good spot to take someone from out of town. I love strolling down Broadway or towards Socrates Park after a delicious pasta dish and cocktail here.

Botte Bar is the cutest neighborhood gem and if I lived in Astoria I'd definitely be a regular. I was in New York for a week and ate here 3 times, so I pretty much am a regular. Everything I had was excellent: handmade pasta, salad, octopus, dessert. It came highly recommended from my cousin Jimmy, who actually is a regular and lives around the corner. Alejandro took great care of us. See you next time!

Had a great time at Botte bar for my cousins 18th birthday. The food was rich, tasty, and fresh. I told the waiter that it was my cousins birthday and they stopped all the music and blasted happy birthday on the speakers. It was so nice of them! We even got a free dessert. The wait staff was kind and the place was packed. Outdoor seating is pretty warm if you can't get a spot inside.

no happy hour even tho in their site it said there was food is avg at best , staff just stares at u cause their not busy at all ....

Botte Bar serves some of the best Pastas in Astoria at a resonable price. With the price of dining out it was nice to see a moderate orice menu with good delicious food

Something went wrong! Used to be a favorite spot. Went for dinner on Tuesday and it wasn't good. The romaine in my Caesar salad wasn't good. My margarita pizza didn't cut it either. Crust was not good. No basil on the pie. So mediocre and out of character for this spot. What happened!!!!

Rude staff. Over salted food, overcooked. They're inconsistent. Over so it with the salad dressing

Stopped here for drinks after work one night and can't believe I've just walked past this place for years. The drinks were good, and the food was phenomenal. Multiple bruschetta options for starters - we had the pomodoro - and weren't disappointed. We got a few pastas and the cacio e pepe fries - and everything was out of this world good. Will definitely be back - and regularly - and look forward to trying the rest of the menu of this hidden gem.

Great spot for an intimate date night. Our waiter and bartender were great! The pasta was absolutely delicious, the drinks were amazing too! Will be returning!

This gem in Astoria must be experienced. In a small, cozy space they deliver exquisite food and a great selection of wine. With their expanded outdoor space it has become a go-to spot. The seafood pasta special with a glass of full-bodied Chianti (MONTE PULCIANO) was amazing. Their desserts are heavenly...even if you think you are too full to eat another bite - order a dessert!!

I've been wanting to try this place for a while as they look so cozy, welcoming and filled with people. I don't usually write reviews but we were very disappointed. - Oysters weren't fresh, seemed like they were refrigerated after being opened and covered with pepper and herbs. I've never seen that before and prefer to eat oysters with nothing on them. - Chicken Parmesan wasn't good either. My friend said he can make a better one at home. Arugula salad was supposed to have blue cheese but it wasn't included. - The wine choices weren't great either (surprisingly for an Italian place). We had zero satisfaction from the experience. This is a first out of all the local spots around. Bar scene is probably why people come here.

Still love this place when in the mood for great Italian. The shrimp here is cooked absolutely perfectly. Portions are small for the price, but the quality is great.

My absolute favorite pasta in NYC. We have been here several times and the pasta is always hot fresh and delicious. They also make a great Negroni spagliato!

This place is cozy, friendly and welcoming. While waiting outside for friends, the Uruguayan waiter opened the door with a beckoning smile and playfully asked me to step inside and have a seat at the bar at least! I opted to wait for my friends, but it was hard to resist that hospitality. The bar holds about ten seats comfortably, with an area off the bar that can seat four. The restaurant side holds about 5-6 tables with mixed booth and chair seats. The corners of the booth is where anyone with sense would want to sit. However, the place is small and it would be hard to fit a group larger than five without calling ahead. We tried an assortment of dishes: Carpaccio de pulpo - The octopus was so thin it was almost air, which is on point for an appetizer. Light and refreshing. Avocado e Salmon bruschetta - one of my favorite. Their crusty, delicious bread paired excellently and was still warm. A must. Meatball appetizer - Meatballs were light and fluffy but didn't taste full of filler. Sauce was nice. Only came with three balls. Fettuccine with shrimp and pesto - the pesto was a little watery for my taste and could have used more garlic and pepper. The fresh pasta was delicious and had bite. Worth trying. Ravioli - very simple, rustic dish that came with about five ravioli. A good choice if looking for a small meal. Panna cotta - another favorite! This was light, fruity and full of flavor that danced on my tongue. A must. Tiramisu - definitely rich and packed with caffeine. Good for sharing but proceed with caution if you plan to go to bed soon after. They had a risotto special and a tagliatelle pasta with meat sauce that I didn't try but heard were good. We all gawked at a chicken breast special that another patron ordered so do take a look at the specials board and their happy hour deals. Our Uruguayan waiter was totally happy to answer all of my questions and gave great recommendations, but I'm sure whichever waiter you get will be just as nice. The food portions were adequate but not enough for sharing. Keep that in mind if you like to share dishes or if you plan on arriving famished. The old fashioned I ordered came with rye, bitters, a sweet slice of orange and a classic cherry. It was delicious, smooth and strong. I didn't use the restrooms so I cannot comment on that. I would return if I found myself in the area.

Cozy little Italian eatery. Amazing cosy little bar that could even be classed as a romantic place for a first date. I was here for dinner tonight with a new friend. The food and red wine are excellent. Order octopus with lemon potatoes, a glass of red wine or sangria topped with a dessert tiramisu and you have the perfect meal. This place is a must if you are in the neighborhood.

Servers just stand around and stare .... There is no happy hour which sucks .... Food is cold and below avg.... Sigh I was very disappointed

Been here a few times and the food is good but the experience on April 29 evening was terrible. Limited staff but zero communication on how long it would take to get food. Each order took 30min to an HOUR. A charcuterie board does not take 30 min to make at 6pm! People walked out because of the wait for food and the number of times we were told it's coming soon was ludicrous. Nothing was done to appease the group and we spent over way too much money for a terrible experience. The waiter said there were 2 trainees working on a Friday night. TO THE OWNER/MANAGER: why are trainees working on a weekend night?!! Where was any manager overseeing what was going on? If you're trying to expand to multiple locations maybe make sure the quality doesn't go downhill at your original location first. I'll try this place again next month but not a great sign of things to come if this is the business model.

If I had only had drinks here, my review would've been 5 stars. The bartender was absolutely lovely and his drinks were really well made. Unfortunately, I ordered the medium charcuterie board for $19. It had 6 slices of salami and 6 small pieces of cheese. The meats and cheese tasted like boars head deli products. There were no pieces of bread, or jams/honey. I wish I had taken a picture of the plate. I was absolutely starving, so I ate it, and didn't feel comfortable telling our server that it was an unacceptable dish (especially after I cleaned the plate.) I would still recommend this spot for drinks, but I would most definitely skip the food.

Cute place with really friendly staff. The service is impeccable. My friend and I tried to limoncello spritzer which was a good but strong cocktail. One thing to note is that Suppli is similar to Arancini if that's what you're looking for as an appetizer. The pasta was portioned well and delicious, I definitely had a food baby after eating here.

Food is pretty good and the service was excellent. Quaint ambience and great for solo dining.

I came two times with my partner and we sat outside. We ordered the same thing ( $20 pasta with a cocktail). Service 8/10. Food 8/10.

TIME AFTER TIME HIDDEN GEM! As to service OUTSTANDING! As to ambiance just perfect. Date night, GNO, to just grabbing a drink, bites, and dinner. As to food you will not go wrong. The menu well PROMISE will not go wrong. I fine in my personal opinion. The menu is everything they do best. Simplicity at its utmost finest. 1. Grandma Meatballs 2. Octopus Carpaccio 3. Carbonara For my fellow Wine lovers My all time favorite is the Montepulciano!!! I get it by the bottle each time.

This place seems to be thriving even amidst the pandemic, which is great! There's plenty of outdoor space to snag a spot on the sidewalk or the street. We were for sure impressed with the food. I had a delightful order of cacio e pepe, a dish that is really entirely dependent on the quality of the pasta and ingredients, as it's such a simple preparation. It's done right here: al dente pasta, a plethora of fresh cracked pepper, creamy cheese. My fiancé had the baby cod livornese with potatoes, served with a fresh sauce of tomatoes, capers, and olives. This wouldn't normally be my dish of choice as I'm not an olives person, but I had a few non-olive bites and enjoyed them very much. I'm not quite as sold on the drinks. I started with a montepulciano, which was reasonably priced at $9 and served its purpose as a table wine. I was significantly less satisfied with the Viola Negroni (gin, elderflower liqueur, dry vermouth). Too much elderflower was used, making for an unbalanced drink. Ultimately, it tasted too floral and certainly nothing like a Negroni. I don't mean to say anything negative during COVID times, when I know a lot of places are struggling, and to be clear, this is a positive review! I know we'll be back, and I'm looking forward to trying another drink next time that might be more up my alley.

Amazing home style Italian food! Pros: - Amazing pasta we got the gnocchi and tagiatelle, both were scrumptious! - their sauce and pasta are both definitely fresh/home made style - friendly wait staff - their outdoor set up has heaters (this review is during the pandemic) - they make strong cocktails, our aperol spritz hit hard - reasonable priced food/drinks for the area Cons: - Parking is definitely a challenge near by - their bathroom is tiny

The eggplant was delicious. The broccoli rabe could be less cooked, overall tasty and not chewy. Fettuccine with pesto could be cooked more al dente. Meatballs were good. Not over worked and flavored well. The sauce, a trace tart could benefit from some personalization but good. Cauli bites so good, great seasoning and light. All hot, good sized portions and well priced. I'd suggest they offer half plates on their pastas as they are heavy for summer. Love the montelpuciano, smoky with dark fruits. Thanks guys for being open.

First time at Botte Bar this Saturday night around 8:30. Waited 5 min for a table. Amazing waiter and service overall. The inside is much smaller than I expected, but they have a cute tented outside area as well. Everything was delicious from the appetizers to the entrees to the desserts and the cocktails. I didn't get pics of our drinks, but we tried the Violent Femme and Your My Boy Blue. Both great but if I had to choose one? I'd go for the blue one again! I also had some Sauvignon blanc which was great as well. Definitely can't wait to go back. I'm daydreaming of the roasted red pepper & feta bruschetta and the cacio e pepe as I type this....
