Bottega Americano

We held a private corporate event here last night and had a great time! The location was convenient, plus the Bottega Americano staff was fabulous and very accommodating with all of our requests!

Really awesome brunch items. I've been here twice and got the braised shortrib hash which is ridiculous! It's a little pricey but it's worth it because the food is top notch. Great bar and the staff is incredibly friendly

Always a great spot...great menu favorites and new options to boot. Drink service can be a bit slow for groups but food already yummy.

You can't go wrong with any of the food items on the menu. Each bite is rich with flavor, one after the other until you realize you've finished your plate. The pricing is fair for 2. I plan on revisiting very soon.

I threw a small party for my mother at this restaurant. They accommodated us with everything we needed. It was a 5 course meal and every meal was absolutely satisfying. I love their food. The proportion serving is not over done or too little that you don't get full. They have real authentic Italian food. Every time I go here I try out different food and none of the meals has disappointed me. You can't go wrong with whatever is on the menu, so it's been hard to find out which one is my favorite meal. The location is convenient, if you are in the gas lamp or the stadium area (Downtown San Diego). Inside is very clean and decorated very well. I love how they have a To-Go meal in the front, very convenient. I take all my business meeting here as well. The set up is very versatile. You can dress down or up for any occasion.

Great service and wine list. The food was good. We had a group and shared everything family style. We started with the Woodfired Shrimp and the Baked Humboldt Fog Goat Cheese. Both were good. We then moved on the the Chopped Salad which was excellent, but I also really like chopped salads. For the entrees we had two pasta dishes. Both were good, but not great. We also had a Smoked Ricotta pizza. It was a little spicy for one person at our table but I thought it was the best of the entrees.

The place was very busy, which is always a good sign. So we took a seat at the Pizza bar, which turned out to be the best seat in the house. The Pizza Chef was like watching an artist in action. The Kitchen and wait staff were attentive and also acted like well tuned engine. Needless to say, the food was also delicious and presented like a five star restaurant. I only wish we were in town longer or could have discovered this place sooner. So I have to ask, why are you continuing to read this, just go and enjoy.

We had dinner here for New Year's Eve. I had the pizza and meatballs and all the desserts. Everything was delicious. The ambiance really set the tone for a wonderful evening. The decor is beautiful, with this old Italian yet modern feel. You have to visit the restaurant to understand. They passed out Happy New Years hats and tiaras which just added to the experience.
