Overview

So, picture this: you’re strolling down Bourke St, and suddenly, there it is—Bottega Restaurant. It’s got this chic New York vibe, and you just know it’s not your average Italian joint. Seriously, from the moment you step in, you’re hit with this classy yet cozy atmosphere. Leather booths, timber tables—perfect for a romantic dinner or just a good catch-up with mates.

Now, let’s talk about the food. Axel Archenti in the kitchen is whipping up modern Italian dishes that’ll make your tastebuds do a happy dance. Think gorgeous plates, like Wagyu carpaccio and scallops that look almost too good to eat—almost! And don’t get me started on the wine list. Sommelier Ben Knight has crafted a selection that’s like a love letter to regional Australian wines, plus the best of Italian varieties. Talk about a match made in heaven!

But hey, not everything’s roses. A few diners mentioned that portion sizes can be a tad on the small side for the price. Yikes, I get it. If you’re paying for fine dining, you want to leave feeling stuffed, right? One person even felt their risotto tasted, um, bland—a bummer for sure.

Still, plenty of folks rave about Bottega being a solid choice pre-theatre, making it a popular spot for quick but delightful meals. Open Tuesdays through Saturdays, they put a lot of emphasis on customer service too. Reservations are a must, especially if you want to snag a prominent booth for that special occasion.

Wrapping it up, Bottega is not just a restaurant; it’s an experience. A blend of fantastic food, low-key elegance, and vibrant energy that keeps everyone coming back for more. So, if you find yourself in Melbourne, do yourself a favor and check it out! You might just find your new favorite spot.
