This is a very nice rustic Italian restaurant. Italian restaurant. It's brightly lit up with exposed brick walls. The food is very good. We had the kale salad and another salad which were both excellent. The pizzas are delicious and the wine is nicely priced they have a happy hour where you can get a glass of wine for eight dollars. The service was good but a little slow however they didn't have a large white staff. We will definitely make this one of our go to places. This is a great place for casual dinner with wonderful food. read more

Decided to walk over to this spot after trying to find a good Italian place near the hotel we were staying at. We are glad to find out there was no wait time and we were seated promptly.. The service was great and the drink options were amazing.. We ordered the calamari and bruschetta to start. I was originally going to go for the lasagna, but decided to go for the pasta instead.. it was pretty filling and delicious. They had a brick oven which allows for them to make fresh brick oven pizza, which I'm pretty sure it would taste amazing but we're already pretty filled for the pasta and appetizers to order a pizza.. it had an intimate setting and they're only a couple of other people eating there but overall the ambience was peaceful and relaxing and the lighting was just the right touch for a weekend date. read more

Botte is a whole vibe. Got the calamari and a fish dish -- both hit. Fresh, flavorful, no notes. Walking distance from my hotel, low-key spot, very Brooklyn energy. Simple. Solid. Cool without trying. read more

Nice Italian restaurant for a Friday night out with a friend. Food was not bad but not amazing. There are definitely better Italian restaurants in New York. It was honestly pretty pricy for $50+ for 2 dishes and 1 drink. We ordered Spaghetti alle vongole + shrimp which was nice and light with clams with not much sauce but flavor is there. The Pollo alla parmigiana was overwhelmingly tomatoey and that was all I could taste. The hibiscus drink was a little artificial and sweet. read more

Service and ambiance were both excellent. Appetizers (fried zucchini) was excellent. We ordered chicken parm and chicken Marsala as entrees. Marsala dish was tasty but a bit too salty. Overall, a very nice place for dinner! read more

Cute and big spot. Good for happy hour (not valid at low tables) the drinks were good and service was great as well. Kind servers- it did get a little hot though as it was open air concept and no AC at the time, but not unbearable. Salad, pasta, calamari and bruschetta was ordered. Everything was solid. read more

botte brooklyn is an italian restaurant located in downtown brooklyn. it was recommended by a friend who lives in the area. i caught up with two of my friends there around 3 pm, and we had a wonderful evening, we stayed for a few hours. it wasn't too busy, and we ordered appetizers, dinner, and a few desserts to share. for the appetizer, we had the fried rice balls, which had a nice crunch on the outside paired with a warm, cheesy interior. we also had the margherita pizza, which was honestly a pretty standard pizza. the sauce was flavorful, the mozzarella cheese was warm and melty, and the size was good for three people. then we tried the rigatoni with vodka sauce, which was superb: cooked al dente with a creamy sauce and a little bit of spice. for dessert, the pistachio and strawberry cheesecake, was honestly the star of the show. the fresh strawberry paired with the decadent cheesecake was unexpected. pricing was pretty standard for a new york city restaurant, and the ambience was incredible. it had an outdoorsy feel, decorated super cute inside, with plenty of seating. the staff was really nice and accommodating, which made the experience even better. there are bathrooms inside, and i was able to walk in without a reservation. overall, it was a really great experience, and i would totally come back. read more

Food was Bland to say the least. It taste like I was eating chef boardi from the can! I've had better chicken parm when I was in Jersey! No salt, season, ehhh... the Caesar salad was better than the actual meal so that says a lot. Our whole table took the food to go and left it on the curb! Not what I was expecting read more

This has to be one of the most poorly run restaurants when it comes to deliveries. I live 2 blocks away, yet they can't seem to figure out how to deliver an order, on multiple occasions. First time they mentioned not having delivery people and that I would have to come pick it up... Great guys, this is exactly why I've ordered this for DELIVERY! Ended up getting a refund and they never delivered. Fast forward a few months later I wanted to try them again. Time quoted for delivery is like 20-30 mins, fine. 40 mins come and I call them, say it's already on the way. After an hour still nothing so I call back, now it's no longer on the way and that I have to pick it up. Botte, get your act together. Delivering an order 2 blocks away shouldn't be some kind of impossible staff. If you're so incompetent in having your own staff to deliver orders then just let Doordash or Uber do it for you ffs. read more

I ordered the grilled sweet sausage with broccoli rabe for $18. It came with one small sausage cut in half that was pressed like a flagel and hard as a rock. I never want to go there again. No bread served with dinner. They do the minimum. This was Tuesday June 9th 2026 @ 7:00'ish pm. read more

price - $60 including tax and tip food - 4/5 service - 3/5 ambiance - 4/5 overall, it was a good experience. the food was a bit on the pricier side cause of the neighborhood its in but the food was actually pretty good. i really liked their penne alla vodka since it was so flavorful. the margarita pizza was really thin however so it was definitely priced on the higher end. the service was okay since it took a while for the servers to take note of our table. the ambiance was really nice! it felt like i was in italy because of the old school interior design read more

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE SERVICE! Not only was the server gruff and unfriendly (-1 star)... 1) we ordered focaccia with our meal that never came but still appeared on the receipt... 2) we were never offered fresh cracked pepper or Parmesan cheese after our pastas came... 3) we were basically rushed out of the restaurant with a, "Just to let you know, we're closing in ten minutes." Not, "The kitchen is closing in ten minutes, do you want to order anything else?" 4) and we were never offered dessert. My dinner partner joked that it all went downhill when we didn't order drinks and exponentially increase our bill (and therefore the server's tip). But truthfully, it felt like THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! Not to mention, the server rushed to strip out of his uniform like he had somewhere to go immediately after his shift, only to sit at the bar on his phone and have other people give us our bill! And two pastas and a salad for $69 before tip? Yes, they were supposedly homemade, and yes, they were decent enough (3 stars), but the value just isn't there. Maybe that's just NYC/Brooklyn prices. Whatever the case may be, I will NEVER COME BACK HERE! Too many decent, overpriced, Italian restaurants in this city that actually have decent service. read more

I had high hopes for this place and was left with mixed feelings. Visually, the inside was beautiful and sets a nice ambiance! However, the service was cold and abrupt while the food was mediocre and over priced. The cacio e pepe, usually one of my favorites, was congealed and undercooked. The salmon meanwhile, was very overcooked. I'd love for this place to be better, or the prices to better reflect the quality. read more

Excellent find in Brooklyn very close to the Marriott. Cool relaxed vibe. Delicious food. We started with the arugula pear salad. Entrees were gnocchi and the orecchiette with sausage and broccoli. Finished with sambuca, coffee and espresso martinis. Elideth was spot on with her service and very friendly. Would definitely come back. read more

Came here for a nice brunch with my wife on a Sunday. We arrived around 1Pm and we were the only ones there. The people working there are all super friendly and nice (+1 star) The food is kinda average Italian food (3 stars). We started off with the truffle fries and were disappointed. I wish I had known that it was potato wedges because I wouldn't have gotten it. The wedges were tossed in truffle oil but I couldn't really taste the truffle the I think they forgot to salt the wedges The rice balls are really good. I was actually so pleasantly surprised. The outside is crispy and light. The inside had cheese and rice. Paired together with the sauce was really nice The chicken parm came out looking like a pizza. I'm so surprised on how they can get a piece of chicken to get to this width. Anyways, it tasted like chicken parm. It didn't blow me out of this world read more

I have been here a couple times recently and both times have been delightful! I have been here awhile ago and didn't have a great experience but I decided to try and I'm so glad I did! Wonderful service and the food is great! I wish they had ravioli though but hey! The spicy rigatoni, burrata, pizza everything! 10/10. Special shoutout to Nick who was our server on Christmas! Good times! read more

This was a very happy surprise! I wanted somewhere to go quickly and just sit at the bar. It was absolutely perfect for that. I pulled up a seat and had a great meal and great fun with the other girls at the bar. They recommended a couple of dishes and I settled on the chicken parm. It was exactly as it should be. Thin chicken with not too much breading and the spaghetti with it was awesome. It is a huge portion that could easily be shared. I couldn't finished 1/3 of it! That could be because I had started with the ceasar salad, which was probably one of the best I had ever had...real shaved parmesan and not too much dressing. Perfection! I ended up sitting there for a while and had a great pinot noir at a great price point. The bartender comped me a lemoncello shot for dessert, which was so sweet and tasted awesome! Great spot in Brooklyn for excellent food at a good price point! read more

Visited Botte Brooklyn with a friend of mine during a weekend trip during my first time to New York, and I can say that I really enjoyed myself! It was highly recommended by the hotel that I stayed at and so I decided to stop by. For starters, I really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant with the warm lighting and it made me having sort of a homey good feeling which I really appreciate. The service was very well and the waiters and waitresses seem to really know their stuff. Now for the food... there were quite a bit of options but I felt like I wanted to go with an Italian classic, so I decided to go with the Carbonara. I'm normally a big fan of it, but unfortunately I'd have to say that it was just okay which was a little disappointing, but there's always an opportunity to come back and try other things on the menu. As for dessert I ended up getting one of my favorite desserts--Tiramisu--and my God was it heavenly. I'm disappointed that I didn't end up finishing it because of me stupidly deciding to mix wine and a Long Island ice tea, but I still savored it, and I'm glad I did. That Tiramisu really made my day I tell you, lol. Overall, I'll be back for sure. read more

Good service, quaint restaurant in a good downtown Brooklyn location. And always good food too. Nice pizzas and pastas.

Was looking for an Italian restaurant on short notice and was able to book a dinner reservation at Botte Brooklyn. Really glad we came here because we had a great experience! We had a large party so we ordered quite a bit. Had the burrata as starter, chicken parmigiana, rigatoni ai 4 formaggi, fettuccine alla bolognese, lasagna, fettuccine ai pesto, brazino, garlic bread, and spaghetti alla carbonara for entrées, and tiramisu for dessert. I really don't know where to focus on because honestly everything was great. If I had to pick some favorites, it would be the fettuccine alla bolognese, lasagna, fettucine ai pesto, and branzino. Thought the price was fair as well. Service was great here, no complaints. Very attentive service! Ambience is pretty comfortable. Had a nice brick aesthetic. Tables were spaced out and the place had high ceilings with roof windows. Overall, really enjoyed this visit to Botte Brooklyn. Definitely worth a visit! read more

On Doordash they sometimes have the 2 for 1 deal for pastas; got it and it was OK, though the portion sizes were a bit small.

On a Friday evening before catching a show a friend and I came to Botte to grab dinner. Botte stood out to us because of its exposed brick interior and large menu. Also, my friend is very picky about anything spicy so Italian it was. We arrived right on time for our reservation and was happy to find out that it was still happy hour. The restaurant's bar was pretty full and the main dining area was pretty empty. We were happy to see that the Happy Hour menu included espresso martini's, fried mozzarella and suppli (rice balls) so we started with that. The espresso martini was delicious and filled to the brim ... maybe even a little higher lol. Our waiter struggled to get it over to the table but did a much better job then I could ever. The fried mozzarella included 2 small squares, one of which the cheese had melted out of the breading and unfortunately when they got to us they were pretty cold, so no cheese :/ Either way the fried mozzarella lacked flavor. The suppli was by far the best and was piping hot when we received it, would definitely recommend this if you go. Onto the entrees, I got the spaghetti alla carbonara and my friend got spaghetti alla vodka with chicken. We both weren't too impressed with our dishes because they lacked flavor. The portion size however was the perfect amount. Also the additional chicken my friend got was the tiniest portion. We could barely find it amongst the pasta. The service overall was ok. We had to remind our waiter a couple of times about things they'd forgotten. Overall, while the interior is great for photo ops and the espresso martini was good, I don't think that I would come back to Botte. read more

Went with a group of 23 to have our carb dinner before the Brooklyn half marathon. The service was great and they did an amazing job accommodating out larger party. The food came out quickly and everyone said they enjoyed their food. The spaghetti was a bit too overcooked for me but still tasty. I added chicken and the service size was pretty small. The garlic bread was good but VERY garlicy. The truffle fries weren't the greatest as they just tasted like plain potatoes. Everyone else had pretty good feedback on their dishes. read more

Botte is such a fun quirky italian restaurant. I first want to put out that this restaurant has amazing service! The manager Vinny is so kind, attentive, and fun! He constantly check on us and told us a little bit about the history of Botte which was so nice to hear! Now. For the food! Appetizers were out of this world! We got the Calamari and the Salmon Tartare! Both were so delicious and filling. For our mains I got the Margherita pizza, my friends got the fettuccine al pesto and pasta alla vodka. I thought my pizza was okay. I think I didn't like the crust that they used and cheese, but it was alright! My friend loved the fettuccine al pesto! She thought it was savory and well cooked. For the Pasta alla vodka it was also really good, but a little salty. For dessert we got the teramisu and a cannoli. Teramisu was fantastic and moist! I've never had a cannoli, so I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't a big fan of it, but I think it's because I didn't like the texture of the filling. Overall a really good place! I'll definitely be back to try out some of the pasta, but I do recommend you to come and visit this location! read more

Walked in, and the hostess was very kind and able to rearrange some reservations to fit us, party of 3, for dinner. My impression upon walking is that this restaurant was very fun and could be a great date spot! Our waiter was fine but clearly overwhelmed that night. It was a busy restaurant with only 2, maybe 3 waiters/waitresses working. My biggest feedback was that the food was very salty. All of our appetizers and actual dishes were very salty making it hard to eat. When we mentioned that to our waiter, he just disregarded our concerns and said that's how it's supposed to be, which was surprising. Furthermore, the foccia appeared more like a pita bread than a focaccia. Very thin, tough, and with lots of oregano; not fluffy at all. For the price that we paid, the food was fine but I was hoping for better read more

Botte Brooklyn was a great new find! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with a beautiful space with high ceilings and cute decor. I'm a vegetarian, and felt there were plenty of options to choose from. For appetizers, we ordered the Bruschetta with figs and ricotta and a red wine reduction - it was pretty good but I wish the ricotta had a little more flavor. The complimentary bread they gave with the main course was so tasty, especially the tomato paste-oil mixture they gave on the side!! The portions for the main course were reasonable for the prices. We ordered the Capricciosia without ham and replaced the olives with onions - flavor of the pizza was great and the crust held well without being too oily either! We also got the rigatoni alla vodka with truffle and burrata - the truffle was sliced tableside which was really special, and the dish was overall very tasty! The service was great, our waiter was attentive and on top of things! He gave us good recommendations for our food and explained everything well! I can definitely see myself coming back to this restaurant! read more

We had our holiday party here, which was a great space for a medium sized party. I think we had around 100 people. Maybe fewer. They had a lot of food options. The bruschetta al pomodoro and burrata were very good. The pinzino was not bad also. I just wasn't the biggest fan of the Polpette Della Nonna. They were the saltiest meatballs I've had in my entire life. I couldn't finish one. Maybe they accidentally over salted them that evening. I don't think the pastas or pizzas were anything to write home about but it could be because of the portion size. It may be tastier when made per serving and not per huge party. read more

The food was pretty good . We ordered chicken parmesan, salmon, & a strawberry margarita. The only reason I took a star down was because the mash potatoes that came with the salmon was cold, like it was sitting on the counter. Also wasn't a huge deal, but on the menu it had single chicken Parmesan for $28 and for 2 people $48. They ended up giving us 4 single chicken parmesans, even though we ordered for 2 people for $48. I guess we would have like to be notified by the waiter that we were getting 4 single orders before the bill was given. read more

My boss took me out to lunch for a "new employee" lunch to Botte Brooklyn so you can imagine how weird it was for me to take a picture of my plate for this review but she understood the assignment! It wasn't too busy at lunch time probably because it was on a weekday. I really enjoyed my food. I knew I wanted something creamy but couldn't decide on what to get so my waiter suggested the Rigatoni Al 4 Formaggi which tasted really good. I wish there was more of a serving though. My waiter was really nice and kinda cute lol I also fancied the decor inside as well. The location itself is very convenient to get to and easily accessible by train. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for a lowkey spot for good Italian food. read more

We ordered the caprese & beets salad, eggplant rolls, fried cheese mozzarella, meatballs, lasagna, chicken parmigiana and rigatoni vodka pasta. Everything was so fresh, tasty and delicious. The food was freshly made and well seasoned. We had an excellent experience with great customer service. The waiter was attentive and prompt with service. We enjoyed our dinner and everything was an excellent experience. We didn't order any desserts, because we brought our own birthday cake. I will definitely return again.
