OK - no idea why everyone doesn't rate this 5 stars. Classic friendly italian restaurant - owner roams the entire night making sure a busy restaurant is performing at EXCELLENT levels. all employees were friendly and funny and smiling - major plus these days. Hsd goat cheese brulee with fig compote (what is that??!?) that was over the top - subtle flavors and perfectly prepared. Bread was crispy and great! Butternnut squash ravioli was succulent with slight sweet and savory from sage. Cream sauce was additive but not overwhelming. The salsiccio pasta was savory with italian sausage and red sauce - full flavor and great contrasts. Told the waitress to pick the wine and the pinot grigio was outstanding with the pasta and the brulee. Friendly, attentive, great vibe, and great food. Will DEFINITELY be back for more. Make reservations and go to this place if you are in Phoenix / Glendale - you will not regret it! Pricing is very good, and food is over the top!

We decided to take a quick stop by this place before leaving Arizona to go back to NYC. Didn’t really expect much except for it to be a good Italian restaurant. Once we were seated we were served with fresh hot bread with butter. Little did I know that was just the start. We ordered fettuccine alfredo with chicken and meatball spaghetti, and let me tell you they were absolutely amazing. You could tell the pastas were fresh and the proteins were seasoned well too. If you are nearby and want to eat Italian food, I must recommend you this place!!

Bottegas is a delicious and authentic Italian restaurant. We’ve been here several times, and have never had a poor experience. Each time is memorable, with delicious pizza and pasta highlighting a wonderful experience. The staff are friendly and always welcoming, and deliver good vibes for the course of the meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant is perfect for a nice night out and a good conversation. The food is excellent. Tried the pasta for the first time today and it was absolutely fantastic. The pizzas are Naples style, fire roasted, and are amazing. A definite must have if you’re in the Valley.

Absolutely the best food around, with the most professional & friendly staff. Nick & Christine run a top notch team that simply provides the best food & service around. A definite 5 star place to dine!

I really wanted to like this place. No one was up front to seat, Waited up there for 3-5 minutes with no one greeting me, despite the fact multiple servers walked by, but they just ignored me. Bread was stale and rock hard. Atmosphere was very loud, restaurant is very small and tables are close together, was sat right next to a loud large party. Server greeted us right away which was good. But I think if you’re going to put pork in a dish, you need to disclose that on the menu, Brussels sprouts had bacon bits, and the description on the menu just said Parmesan and truffle oil. I wasn’t even expecting bacon to even be in there, so when I asked the server how are they cooked, she didn’t mention the bacon either. She just said cooked with truffle oil and Parmesan also. Had to always ask for a refill, server did not refill on her own. When she did refill she spilled the ice tea and it spilled over my phone and left a little puddle on the table. It wasn’t huge, it wasn’t the entire glass, but a spill is a spill. Then all she said was sorry (monotone, not genuine at all may I add) and then walked away. I thought she was getting us napkins so I waited to clean up but no, she just never came back, she was running food to a different table. That was unbelievable, and I tried my best to clean it up with my cloth napkin, but as you can expect, those napkins don’t absorb well. I had to take my phone case off and wipe it off as well,m since it was all sticky. That is crazy to me that a server spilled a drink and just decided to not help clean it up. Brussels were delicious, just wish I’d known about the bacon. Entree was average, there was absolutely no seasoning, just tasted bland. Wish the portion size was bigger also. Overall, I won’t be coming back, but again, I really wanted to like this place because the other servers/staff (not mine) seemed super nice and upbeat, the manager or owner was walking around and seemed friendly.

We went here last night my son goes to Midwestern so I wanted some place close. Great little spot/winebar. I always am one to read reviews in depth. We ordered 2 pizzas and a pasta everything was excellent. So happy we found this place all the way over from Gilbert! This will be our stop in when we go for visits at Midwestern in the evenings! Staff was really nice and attentive. I would highly recommend!

Absolutely incredible! Food is top notch, as well as the service. It's sophisticated but cozy, has the perfect balance. I love it ✨

So........ where do i start ? We had calamari for starter. About the size of the large curly fries at Arbys to give you a point of reference, however the calamari was also very good unlike the curly fries at Arby's. . Lightly breaded and not tough at all. Truly very good. Entree: I had the pasta carbonara and added chicken. My significant other had the butternut squash ravioli in butter that came in a deep plate. There was 5 fairly large ravioli, but the taste was beyond exquisite. My carbonara dish was also very good, although i wish it was a little bit more wet. By the time cheese was added when you say when, it became even more dry, but still excellent. She also had a glad of Chianti and she was very pleased with it. The service. Now, our waiter was extremely attentive. His name is Jason, and i would recommend anyone going to ask for him. Very knowledgeable of the menu, and got our meal perfectly. Dessert I had the Profiteroles,a little puff pastries filled with Chantilly and a chocolate mousse, that really was not a mousse at all and more like hot liquid chocolate, but still very very good. We also got a pizza to go, so we will find out what that is all about as a cold pizza. She had a ice cream with a shot of expresso that, too was excellent. Overall, it's a great place. Clean, black table cloth, little candles, a grate place for a nice dinner or date. Now, the part that nobody likes. 144.91 !!!!... With the tip we left, we walked out with 170 dollars. I don't know if you have been to the Eiffel tower restaurant in Vegas, but the atmosphere is very similar, except that the waiters here do not have a waiter for the waiter. Will we go back ? Absolutely. A bit pricey, but well worth the expense.

I go to Bottega Pizzeria Ristorante often. The pasta dishes and bread are my favorite! I even buy pizza dough balls so I can make pizza at home on the grill. It turns out fantastic. The service is excellent and I feel well taken care of every time I go. Last time there was a mix up with my bill and the owner, Nick, took care of it promptly. I will keep going back!

When I walked in the older lady at the front desk greeted me by saying did you place an order? Can I get your credit card for payment? Not hello, not welcome in, not hi. Such a bad attitude. At that moment, I wished I was walking in to place an order because I would've walked out. But I had already ordered online. We ordered two pizzas and requested they be crispy, per their menu you can request that. Neither came crispy. Both were medium size, one desert and the price was $56. We didn't even finish both pizzas. They were so undercooked. The price is always worth it when you don't have to deal with somebody's nasty attitude. The attitude never makes spending this much money for lunch worth it. Never again here

We decided to stop in for a Happy Hour. Against our better judgement, we decided to stay despite a crowded and really loud dining area. Our service was exceptional, as usual. We ordered house wine and a pizza, calamari, and grilled veggies from the Happy Hour menu. Our only disappointment was the pizza this time: really doughy. I remember loving the pizza here for it's chewy crust and light toppings; this one tasted very bland, just red sauce and regular mozzarella - my friend was hoping for more of a margherita-style pizza. If you come here you must - must - get the calamari as it's always swell (that was a typo but I love that word "swell"). We'll be back to continue to sample more menu items and enjoy their lovely patio after the weather comes to its senses.

We went to Bottega two nights in a row. I had the spaghetti and the artichoke appetizer. Both were excellent. We had a large party. We had pizza and the dough is excellent very light and airy. The kids pepperoni was too spicy for the kids so maybe skip that one if your kids are picky. We had to send that back. The second night I had the sea bass and fried calamari. Excellent choice. The house wine was a Sangiovese which was a nice option. My favorite part was the dessert. I had the cream puff (called something else) and it was by far a favorite! Service was good. Ambience was good. Nice fun spot for sure. And the bread and butter ! Yummy

I met some friends here for dinner. They come here frequent and love it. It has a nice upscale feel, but I felt a little cramped with 4 people at such a small table. I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan. It was listed under the pasta dishes so I thought there would be some spaghetti too, but nope. It was tasty, but about average. Honestly, the Eggplant Parmesan at Olive Garden is better. The portions here are a little smaller than I expected, but everything was good. Not my favorite, but good. There was a little bit of a communication issue with our servers. We really wanted to enjoy a little wine before our food and be expressed that to our server. However, our food came out immediately, and we hadn't even received the wine yet. This is the third Italian restaurant at this particular location and something tells me that it's not going to be the last...

BOMB pizza!!! The sauce, cheese and dough all together taste amazing. I usually like my pizza a little crispier but I didn't mind because it was delicious. This picture was before I devoured the whole thing lol WOOPS. Also the complimentary bread tastes great and fresh. Definitely trying the pasta next time! The server assisting us was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is a bit hard to find but is a total gem. I can tell that they do get busy so a reservation may be the way to go. Plenty of seating though, indoor and outdoor. Very nice restaurant. Highly recommend!

We have gone here a few times before, and it's been decent, but today was truly bad. We got a pizza and the pappardelle. The pizza was okay, but looked like a masterpiece when sitting next to the pasta we got. The pappardelle was truly one of the most gross things to be served to us in years. The pasta was chewy, the sauce was just slop, I can't tell you how bad the experience was overall. I've included a picture -- does this look appetizing to you? Bottega is coming off the rotation. EDIT: To address the owner, I would not say it's the customer's obligation to say a dish is terrible. A good restaurant will have trained staff to notice and offer to make things right proactively when it is blatantly obvious that a dish went untouched and frankly looked terrible. It's not the customer's responsibility to point out every problem especially when the signs are, uh, clear.

Very nice clean restaurant. They have a lovely patio area with heaters for cold weather and plenty of shade covers to protect you from the heat and sun. I was excited to see they had gluten free pasta and pizza. However those options are for those who avoid gluten by choice like, not due to a sensitivity or allergy. If you are celiac avoid. The pizza is cooked, and cut with the other pizzas. Not on any sort of tray. I thought it would be okay to shoot for the gluten free pasta meals. I was warned that many patrons with gluten sensitivities or allergies have had reactions to the pasta. Gluten free options here, just not celiac, sensitivity, or allergy friendly.

I'm so happy we finally came to try this place! Everything was very delicious! Our waitress was very nice, super calm and inviting space. I can imagine it gets pretty busy for dinner time, we went for lunch. This is short and simple, it was great, you should try it. You're welcome!

BUYER BEWARE - AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! We came here to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday, and it turned into a complete nightmare. First off, the food was absolute garbage - it smelled rancid, tasted like it had been reheated from last week's trash, and somehow they had the nerve to charge $75 per person. I wouldn't feed this slop to a stray dog. Honestly, McDonald's would've been a major upgrade - and that's not even a joke. To make things worse, we brought our own custom cake, only to be told after the fact that it would be an extra $3.50 per person just to serve it. No heads-up. No class. And when we asked for something to cut it with? Nothing. Just more attitude. Now for the real horror show: the owner himself. This guy is unhinged. As I was removing a tablecloth at the end of the night, he stormed over, got in my face, and told me not to remove the table cloth like that. I asked him why not and he starting getting in my face asking if there was a problem?!? After telling him he needs to back up and move on he started screaming and cussing at me in italian. - claiming I needed to "respect" him. After he left - My father in laws asked me what happened- when I explained what had happened, he walked by and said "You're still running your mouth?" Like he wanted to fight me! Let that sink in: the owner of the restaurant tried to start a fight with a paying customer at a birthday party. This man is completely unprofessional, unstable, and clearly unfit to run a lemonade stand, let alone a restaurant. It's no wonder the place was COMPLETELY empty on a Saturday night. With food that tastes like it came from a dumpster and an owner who behaves like he came from the streets, it's honestly a miracle this place is still in business. The staff looked visibly miserable - like they were afraid to speak or make eye contact. I can't even imagine what kind of toxic environment they're working in if this is how the owner treats his guests. Do yourself a favor and stay far, far away. Unless you enjoy being verbally assaulted and paying fine-dining prices for rotting leftovers, go literally anywhere else. I wouldn't give that food to my worst enemy. EDIT: Look at all the other 1 stars reviews! They literally echo exactly what I said above. Hahaha- Please show the cameras and Audio. I thrive on litigation. We have 5 different attorneys on retainer. I would bankrupt you. Maybe you should still to bridal showers. Obviously you know nothing about the first amendment. You would just show the world how embarrassing you are. Never once swore and continually asked you to leave me alone. I walked away several times and you continually to get into my face. Should you continue to threaten me? I will warn you. I will subpoena the video cameras in your restaurant. After we file a lawsuit for assault. You have no idea who you're talking to or the extent in which I'm willing to take this to the fullest extent of the law. We will literally bankrupt you with Attorney fees. I will call every local news outlet and let them know of my experience with you. I would try lately. I know you think you're a Mr. tough guy, but you're literally a nobody and I think you should just go back to organizing weddings.

All I need to say is, I will definitely be back. The ambience the service the food I can't say enough great things about the place. Lively patio with excellent acoustic music also is a nice touch. The price for what you get is on point, and the fact that the pasta is made fresh is even better. This is a great date spot or even to gather with your family. I hear they have a really good lunch special as well so that's my next trip I'll be making. Don't miss this one.

This place was amazing. We had tried to make reservations at another Italian restaurant, however for a party of 12 they would not take our reservation without sending an email. When we called here, they were more than happy to accommodate us. When we arrived, they sat promptly. Our waiter promptly asked if we would like water brought his bread and butter. Our waiter Omar was fantastic. Very aging, always smiling and kept on top of our drinks. The food was fantastic with 12 people. I think we almost tried everything on the menu and we were all more than satisfied with what we had ordered. The atmosphere is very energetic, but could also be romantic. We will definitely be back here next time we are in Arizona.

My wife and I had dinner a few weeks ago and I promised myself that I needed to review this lovely Italian restaurant. We came on a Saturday and no surprise, it was quite busy. The hostess, later known as the spouse of the chef/owner, offered to sit us at the bar. We ordered the grilled artichoke, small meatballs, Carbonara and a gluten-free pizza. I would say the grilled artichoke was good, but small and probably not worth the $15. That was probably the worst part. The Carbonara was very good with homemade pasta. It even had Guanciale which is "old school". They easily could have substituted pancetta and most folks wouldn't notice. But the fatty, rich flavor of the Pork Cheek was awesome. The meatball appetizer was also very good. They say small meatballs but they were more medium sized. Lastly and the best part, my wife had the gluten-free pizza. We usually ask the cooks to "burn" or cook well done the crust since most gluten-free crusts are rather soggy if not cooked enough. Well to my surprise the crust was not over done, but not soggy. We later found out that the crust is homemade and not the "Udis" crap most places use. I highly recommend this little Italian gem. You can tell the owners really give a sh$^t about their food.

My husband and I met relatives here for my birthday dinner. We had eaten here before but it was the first time for the others. The food we ordered was vey good. The appetizers and main course came to us in a timely manner. After our main course we were given dessert menus which we chose a couple of items from. Before we had even received our dessert an associate who seemed to be in charge presented us with our bill. We were enjoying ourselves but this made us feel as though they wanted us to hurry and vacate the table. We were enjoying our experience but this put a real damper on our evening.

Last year, my husband and I were visiting and we decided to eat at Bottega. Food was excellent. We decided to drive over 6 hours to eat here again. We were very disappointed. He ordered the chicken piccata. The chicken was dry and over cooked. I must say our waiter was friendly.

We were just looking for a tasty pizza so we decided to come in after seeing some advertising. Our server was Isabella. She did a fantastic job the entire evening. She even made me some special Gorgonzola sauce for my pizza crust. The manager Ou, stopped by several times to make sure everything was OK. Overall, the service was exceptional and the staff did a tremendous job, they all deserve praise!

I was there last Saturday to celebrate my birthday. We had I believe his name was Jason and a trainee. I had to ask for my drink to be refilled. The price we paid for our meals was ridiculous compared to the food we received. I ordered a drink that never came. Then we ordered dessert. My guest got the happy birthday candle and cake. I got my husband's dessert and he got mine. Then when we told the waiter it wasn't the guests birthday he grabbed the candle and tossed it across the table into the tiny bowl in front of me and it fell over and fizzled out. What a joke. My birthday was ruined!!! Thanks for nothing. I would give them zero stars if possible!

Okay first and foremost I'd like to start with how sweet the bartender is. We really enjoyed our first stay at the bar with her. We both ordered appetizers (eggplant parmigiana and carpaccio) and some drinks. The red wine was tasty and the special cocktails as well. What I found really interesting is that they have their own pizza oven which is really hard to see as a customer these days or just to get. We are definitely coming back for some Pizza. My eggplant parmigiana was tasty! The carpaccio was okay. I would be super excited if they put Vitello tonnato on their menu. Oh and the serve warm bread with butter on the side which we really enjoyed. The restaurant itself is very romantic and they have friendly staff.

Another followup visit to Bottega. This time for lunch. Highly recommend the fig pear Brie bruschetta and the grilled chicken strawberry salad. Omar, our Server is definitely the one to ask for by name. Very personable, fun and knowledgeable. If you want a solid bottle of wine to go with your meal, I recommend the Cavicchioli Lambrusco. Nick, Chris, and the entire "family" will make your dining experience relaxing and enjoyable

We enjoyed a cozy and delicious meal while visiting our daughter at ASU. We didn't have reservations, but we were greeted with a smile. We split the meatballs, caprese salad; the meatballs were flavorful and the fresh mozzarella was creamy. We also split pizza and Cesar salad. The pizza crust was thin, crisp and tasty, delicious toppings. The salad dressing was a bit bland, but the pizza and service made up for it. We enjoyed the warm and intimate atmosphere. Bottega was a wonderful surprise.

We enjoyed our meal here! The fresh focaccia bread was great. Drinking here is wayyy more expensive than it needs to be & the pasta dish seemed over priced for what it was. Pizza was great though, we recommend. Missed a cream sauce in the pasta. Would go back for the great live music.

Excellent Italian fine dining experience this evening @bottegapizzeriaristorante in Glendale, AZ! My daughter and I were looking for a good dinner after a doctor's appointment nearby and this spot had good @yelp reviews. It is now our favorite Italian spot. Half of the reason we had such a good experience was our server, Giovanni, who is winner of Server of the Year in our book. We arrived right before dinner rush and were seated right away without a reservation. The tables have cloth tablecloths and real candles. A live musician arrived and started to perform half way through our meal. This is an excellent spot for a romantic meal. Though this is a very nice establishment, we were welcomed in casual attire. When my daughter mentioned to Giovanni that she was worried coming in paint-covered work clothes, he instantly put her at ease and said underneath his own uniform his body was covered in paint. He had us laughing all evening. We needed some coffee and were brought a very good cappuccino and Latte Macchiato from a few doors down. Giovanni recommended that the polenta starter would go well with the pizza my daughter ordered so we tried that and it was so delicious! We were served a complimentary fresh rosemary bread basket and butter as well. We ordered: - Cappuccino - Latte Macchiato - Polenta (Happy Hour Small Bites Menu) - Pesto & Truffle Pizza Bianca: fior di latte, pesto, mushroom, arugula, truffle oil - Branzino (Mediterranean Sea Bass): grilled Mediterranean sea bass, mashed potatoes (My Brazino came with some spinach steamed perfectly with sliced fresh garlic and two large grilled asparagus atop the fish instead of potatoes) My Branzino was cooked to perfection and tasted so mildly sweet and amazing with just some fresh lemon. My daughter was impressed with her pizza, especially the freshness of the dough and ingredients she could taste so well. She loved the presentation of her latte macchiato as much as the drink itself. What a pleasant dining experience!

Came around 7 on a Friday night, and it was pretty busy so we sat at the bar. Parking was plentiful and easy to find. The vibes were great. They had live music that fit the atmosphere. Inside is dimly lit, cozy, and just nice. Workers were all super friendly and attentive. We got the bottega pizza, carbonara, and fritta misto. My fave was the bottega pizza!! It was so flavorful and had good texture. The carbonara was on the blander side. Also was interesting that it used short pasta instead of pasta noodles. A customer next to me said it looked like mac and cheese with bacon . The sauce that came with the appetizer was good and spicy. Also they give free bread and butter!!

This place is a whole experience! Great atmosphere with live music on Saturday night. Wonderful service from each person that attended our table. Food was overall good and you could tell it was fresh/hot. Not the best pizza I've ever had, but definitely top 10. Give this place a try!

Food was much better than I expected. My 6 yr got spaghetti. He said it was good but wasn't his favorite. The pizza was delicious. Service was great. Although I believe our sever was quite literal. I showed her a picture of the chicken piccata that didn't have noodles. But I thought it came with it. Even though the chicken was thinner than bacon lol it was still tasty. The ambiance was chilled and they had live music outside. Quite nice.

Such a good find! The waiter, Giovanni, was amazing. He recommended a red wine as well as their special dessert for the night, both were delicious. It was a really cute date night spot with low light interior and a really cool pizza oven at the front. Food came out fairly fast, and the pizza was great. The Caesar salad was a bit lacking in flavor, but the special dessert for the night more than made up for it. Will be going back!

Enjoyed dinner with friends after work while on business trip. Food was above average; pizza's were freshly made and seasoned well. I didn't care for the pasta as it was prepared al dente and was really hard; not soft enough for me and the flavor was bland. The pizzas were really good as well as the calamari & shrimp appetizer with their homemade red sauce. If I lived in Phoenix I would definitely go back and try another choice of pasta since the waitress said they make it in house. The flavors of the pizza peaked my palate to try more items. So if you live in this area you might want to try them out. The ambiance was really nice and they had live music by local artist I would assume that we enjoyed dining on the patio. They also have a really cool indoor/outdoor bar with blue lights under the bar.

We have pulled in their parking lot and left because there was no place to park. I was able to make a reservation the other night. We have really been wanting to dine here. My husband is Italian and we love all Italian food. They have a very nice waiting area. We were seated right away at a cozy little table. The place was packed on a weeknight. That tells you a lot. We ordered The bruschetta classic and our pizza half how he likes it and half for me. That was literally enough to fill us up. Our server was awesome! I tried to get a reservation during July 4th weekend, but they are booked now for 7 days out. We will definitely be back. Thank you Bottega! Friends are coming with us next time.

Hands down one of my favorite go to spots when I want great food and drinks. I frequent this establishment a couple of times a month for every celebration or when in need of a wine and board night with friends. If you are in need of an escape, I highly recommend dining here to experience all great things Italian.

Incredible pizza just like from Italy. We have had some great experiences here and met great new friends. Actually stopped going because the blond host is not friendly at all. Pretty sure she is the owners wife. A shame. She should stay home.

We recently had dinner here with friends and the food was fairly good but they had 3 ceiling fans going over the tables and it was very annoying. We were all a little chilly but what was worse was that our food immediately got cold. We asked the waitress about it and she said they couldn't turn them down, they would have to shut them off and they wouldn't do that. We spoke to the manager on the way out and she absolutely didn't want to hear about it and just turned away from us. We have all frequented Bottega from time to time but we very turned off from going back.

The owner was incredibly rude--didn't greet us and acted hostile toward my brother without reason. Only found out later he was the owner. As for the food, it tasted like reheated frozen meals--cheap noodles and chicken you'd find at Walmart. Also salmon was mushy in the middle--clearly low quality and borderline raw. Definitely not coming back.

I'm so happy I finally tried Bottega! I enjoyed the Napoli pizza so much that I went back two days later! The crust is perfect, the sauce is delicious and simple, and service was on point for both dine in and take out. I like that they take website orders and the pizza quality holds up well for takeout.

Holy smokes what a hidden gem!!!!! This is where you come for date night This is where you come when you want a real Italian pizza This is where you come when you want some home cooked pasta This is where you come when you want some fresh baked bread The service here is A1 You're gonna feel right at home the moment you take a bite of the food here amazing I would make sure to get the pizza extra crispy, especially if you're eating inside of the restaurant if you're eating at home and you're taking it to go you can get it normal because then you can pop it in the oven and heat it up and that works perfect too. That's just a little pro tip.

Traditional Italian food is elevated here and the service is fair. The atmosphere is romantic. Great place for a date

We loved this restaurant. The specials were delicious, our service was fantastic and we could hear each other have a conversation. Lots of traditional Italian dishes and some specials. Wine list was great and they have a bar. I'd go back.

We've eaten at Bottega previously and enjoyed the food. Last night was no different with a couples of exceptions. We ordered the polenta with Gorgonzola & the roasted veggies for appetizers. The polenta was tasteless & very gritty, Gorgonzola may have missed the plate; absent as far as we could tell. The roasted vegetables were thin, limp strips of zucchini and eggplant. Little to no seasoning. I wouldn't order either appetizer again. We ordered the truffle, mushroom pizza (delicious!!), & the branzino with mashed potatoes. The fish was very good but the potatoes were barely seasoned if at all. Our table also ordered the seafood tagliatelle & the cabonara. Both were good. Service was poor. One server to 5-6 tables of 6 or more. It took 45 for my husband to receive his glass of wine although the rest of our table received drinks within 30 minutes. Dinner came after 1 hour or more after ordered.
