    this looked like Windex but was p good

    cute vibey place, kinda girly , totally happened upon it by accident service was rly good & ppl were attentive pink vodka sauce on both dishes was great - def burnt my tongue from how excited I was to eat everything (also forgot to lactaid in advance so that was a dangerous afternoon lol) both drinks could've done w more alcohol content imo the only thing con I'd say is that the bread was pretty dry :((

    What a bright and beautiful place this is to experience! We had the truffle fries, lobster ravioli, and branzino. All were delicious.

    Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken
    Candace L.

    Unfortunately, Bottega didn't quite live up to my expectations--but it was still a very good meal. We started by splitting the Caesar salad, which was delicious. It was a traditional Caesar done right with great flavor. We also ordered the calamari, and it was fried perfectly--light, crispy, and not greasy. The dipping sauces really complemented the dish and made it one of our favorites. For our entrées, I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo. The sauce was rich, creamy, and flavorful, but I was surprised it came with chicken thighs instead of chicken breast. The thighs were tender, but they felt kinda of rubbery and slimy even though they weren't, if that makes sense. They're also just not my preference in an Alfredo. My son ordered what I believe was the Vodka Rigatoni. The sauce was excellent with a nice kick, but he felt the pasta was cooked a little too al dente for his taste. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was outstanding--everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, it's definitely worth trying, but with all the buzz at Bottega, I expected to be a little more wowed. I'd still come back to try more of the menu, as the quality of the food, service, and overall experience made it a place I'd happily visit again.

    To kick off my birthday weekend, my dear friend came to the Bay to celebrate. I requested Italian food since I had been craving it for some time. I heard about Bottega from lots of people, and since we were in the Mission, I thought it would be fun to go! The ambiance is so cute here! Super casual yet lively. Love the little signs and all the pops of color. They have both indoor and outdoor dining spaces, so I wouldn't mind dining outdoors next time to bring my pup. The service was great! Super fun server we had, and I appreciated the complimentary birthday dessert. We decided to get a few items and drinks to share. We got the Calamari Fritti, Salmon Fettuccine, and Ribeye. The calamari was crispy and tasted as expected. The salmon was rich, savory, and creamy. The ribeye was flavorful and well-seasoned. I would recommend all of these items as they tasted good and we had leftovers. For lovers of Italian cuisine, Bottega in the Mission is worth a visit. If I were to be in the area, I wouldn't mind coming again! Find them off Valencia Street with street and garage parking nearby. So happy I got to celebrate my birthday here and be treated to a great meal by Terry K.

    It's always nice to come upon a good neighborhood Italian restaurant. Ever since Stelline closed in Hayes Valley back in 2015, I haven't settled on one particular place for Italian comfort food, but I can say this is a contender. It had been open for about five years before I finally gave it a try one recent afternoon. Gratefully they don't close between lunch and dinner like many restaurants, and I was here on an off-hour when only one other table was occupied. It's a casual spot and nicely furnished with just enough ambiance to avoid cliche. Even the faux-exposed brick was done modestly. The menu consisted of a robust cross-section of starters, fried foods, pasta plates, and pizzas. I decided to start with the $12 Insalata de Cesare, a predictable choice for me and a well executed one with crisp croutons, parmigiano shavings, and a garlic aioli that didn't overwhelm like many Caesar dressings (Photo 8). For my main, I ordered the $24 Trofie al Pesto & Butrara because I rarely see it offered on local menus. Trofie is a thin, twisted pasta I first had in the Cinque Terre, and it's usually tossed in pesto. They stayed true to the dish here with a generous serving but topped with a creamy ball of fresh burrata and accompanied with basil leaves and cherry tomatoes (Photo 10). It was delicious though I couldn't quite finish it. It was definitely worthy of a return visit. FOOD - 4 stars...the trofie dish reflected skill and generosity...the focaccia pieces were tasty (Photo 9) AMBIANCE - 4 stars...pleasant dining space with just enough Italian-style touches SERVICE - 3.5 stars...very efficient and polite TOTAL - 4 stars...satisfying Italian comfort food in a comfortable setting RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

    I don't know. I feel really bad about leaving this review, but I kind of feel a need to. The ambiance was nice. Clean, colorful and welcoming. The service was not bad. The host seated us right away. Our waiter was very quick and gave off a cold demeanor. The food...ugh, just was not good. The pizza lacked flavor. The fettuccine Alfredo pasta was so bland. 15 minutes in, I called the waiter to ask for some sauce to add some flavor. At that point, he should've checked in and asked if I liked the food, considering my plate was still full, but nothing. He brought me sauce (which he charged for) and it just didn't help make the pasta taste better. They offered us boxes, and when I said I didn't need one (yes my plate was still full) he still didn't ask how was the food? Is everything okay? Nothing. He quickly brought the check and walked away. I would totally understand if the restaurant was super busy and he was in a hurry to serve the other tables. But it was half empty, and the waiters were standing around. I don't know, once again I feel bad, but I felt like the owner needed to know about that's happening.

    Walked in on a Saturday evening around 6 pm for an Italian craving. This place was recommended by a close friend so we decided to give it a try. We were sat immediately, the place was busy but they had a table indoor available as well as outdoor seating. The restaurant is quaint and has large windows so enough sunlight gets in, it's the perfect vibe for a quick no frills dinner. I wouldn't recommend for an intimidate date night here since the tables are so close together. Food: 3.5/5 We ordered the calamari fritti, pesto chicken pasta and pasta pink. I enjoy that they do a bread service with mushroom focaccia, that was probably the most memorable item. The pasta dishes were nothing crazy and tasted like we could make it at home. It didn't quite scratch that pasta itch for us but it was still okay. Calamari was just fried breading. Great portions Drinks: 4/5 We ordered three hugo spritzes and another drink I forgot the name of. Really great portion for your dime Overall: 3.5/5 Servers are very attentive and incredibly helpful. I would go again if I was in the neighborhood looking for a quick dinner, but there are better options for Italian in the city for sure

    Fries with Truffle Oil, Soup of the day and Chicken Parmesan
    Queenie H.

    Stopped by for dinner on a weekday (party of 2), loving every bits of it. Cozy decor (love the exposed brick wall, wood beams and hanging vines/floral), great vibe and yummy food. Everything was decently priced and huge portion. Our server (sorry I didn't catch your name) is very friendly and attentive, so is everyone working there. Love the warm smiles on all the staff. Loved everything we tried so far - Fries with truffle oil, Clam Chowder (soup of the day) and Chicken Parmesan. Portion was so big that we can still bring leftover home for supper. Reminded me of my trips to Italy. As soon we get on the ride home I immediately texted and shared this place with my best friend!! Definitely be coming back, can't wait to try their pasta and pizza next time.

    It's my second time dining here. The sun came up with wind breeze on a Monday afternoon. We ordered Brussel sprouts and two pastas. I think I loved the Brussel sprouts the most, the vinegar is the essence of this dish, and this one nailed it perfectly. The pastes were great, but somehow I feel salmon doesn't go well with pasta. The place is cute. When we sat outside, I felt my mood was even lighter. The people here are nice, efficient, and friendly.

    We came for dinner after attending my sister's sfsu graduation. She had made a reservation for Bottega, as other restaurants she had in mind were all booked; but this place seems to have really good reviews. Street parking is a bit difficult, but there are also parking garages nearby. There were many people waiting for a table when we arrived. The restaurant is small and it was a full house that night. We were seated in the upstairs dining area, but it was still very crowded. The tables and chairs were very close together and I don't think the people sitting behind us had space to get up, if they wanted to, since our chairs were touching back to back. There were some communication issues or confusion between the waiters. They didn't seem to know which meals belonged to which table. They were handing plates to the wrong tables and we even received some plates that didn't belong to us. It was a bit unprofessional, as they were dropping off plates to us, then having to take it back to a different table. They also had to check their tablets to see which plate belonged to which party. It was a bit chaotic. When we did receive our correct orders, our food was cold. The only plate that was piping hot was my sister's, which was the last to arrive and took the longest to come out. A few of us didn't enjoy our meal, as some of the pastas were lacking flavor. I however, enjoyed my mushroom ravioli with truffle cream sauce, but, it was cold when I received it. My sister was literally dipping her pasta in my sauce in order to enjoy her plate lol. I ordered vodka pasta to-go for my boyfriend and he also said that his dish lacked flavor. I tried it, and agreed with him. This experience was very underwhelming and did not live up to the reviews.

    Truffle risotto-YUM
    Amy W.

    Norcina is one of my fav Italian pizza spots in the city. Who knew it was related to Bottega. We were meeting friends and they suggested this spot, only when we arrived and looked at the menu did we realize they are same owners. This place seems a bit more expensive though, why is that? some of the drinks were $18+. Anyway - they have my fav Mozzarella en carozza. (translates to "mozzarella in a carriage"). It did used to be better (bigger) and slightly less breaded at Norcina - but still a winner. I ordered the pasta with the sausage and the peas, which is one of their most popular. DELISH! - Hubby got the truffle risotto, which was also good, I just cannot order risotto out anymore bc the Instantpot makes is so well - and for pennies compared to this place. The service was pretty uneven. They kinda wanna rush you through dinner (we asked our waiter to slow the dinner down the service of our apps and dinner - and he did - but he also slowed down our cocktail orders and silverware, etc...which is not what we meant.

    Mezzemaniche Boscaiola w/ pink sauce & Gnocchi w/ pesto sauce
    Vickie N.

    We ordered takeout from here after seeing all the great reviews and photos, and I was genuinely excited to try it. Unfortunately, the food ended up being pretty underwhelming for us. I started with the pesto gnocchi, which is usually one of my favorite pasta dishes. However, this version lacked flavor and tasted quite bland. I found myself adding extra cheese and salt just to bring out more taste. Even after that, we only ended up eating about 25% of the dish. For me, this one was a 3/10. We also ordered the Mezzemaniche Boscaiola in pink sauce, which was definitely the stronger of the two dishes. The sauce itself was flavorful, and I appreciated the variety of ingredients, including the onions, peas, sausage, and mushrooms. In fact, I found myself enjoying the vegetables more than the pasta itself. My main issue was that the sausage flavor seemed to overpower the sauce and gave it an off taste. It reminded me of the flavor you get when freshly grilled meat is mixed directly into a sauce--it dominated the dish more than I would have liked. I'd rate this one around a 6/10. That said, there were some positives. The pasta was cooked very well--both the rigatoni and gnocchi had great texture and weren't overcooked or too firm. The food was also still hot when we got it, and the sauces held up impressively during transport. Nothing separated or became oily, which is something that can easily happen with takeout pasta. While I can appreciate the quality of the preparation and packaging, the flavors just weren't a match for my taste. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning, but I wish the restaurant continued success

    Are you open today?

    Yes, we are! Till 11 pm

    Hi Ginny, Yes! the restaurant inside has a lot of seating/tables including a large rectangular shaped one that appears to accommodate approximately 12 to 16 people.

    They do it's in one of those outdoor wooden patios.

    No fees

    Gluten free crust?

    I'm fairly certain the answer is yes.

    Can you accommodate large groups for special occasions or events?

    they have an upstairs room for large parties. We had about 18 people up there I think. You'll need to inquire about the minimum spend, I think it varies based on the night of the week

    Nope

    YES!

    Yes

    Is there indoor seating for a group of 10?

    They can for sure combine tables. I would suggest you call them to make this adjustment.

    Hi is there seating for 10 people?

    Yes for outside as I've dined outside for a large group. Unclear about large groups for indoor dining.

    Do you offer any gluten free options for pasta/pizza?

    I don't know

    Do you need proof of vaccination?

    No, nobody asked for ours but they also have outdoor seating options.

    Are you vegan friendly?

    Not vegan friendly (at least that I know of)

    How big are the pizzas? Is it personal size or share with a group?

    Our pizza was enough for 5 people to have 1 slice, plus 2 extra.

    How big are the portions? Enough to split with a friend?

    Good sized portions! Depending on your appetite, I'd say portions are big enough to split.

Amelia recommended one pasta dish per person in the party, to share family style (which ended up working well for us, since we also got three appetizers, and finished the meal with a small amount of yummy leftovers for tomorrow) so that's what we did, along with the starters... We got the "big juicy meatballs with tomato and pancetta," which were incredible; the bread was delicious and certainly is not just a side to the amazing (definitely juicy) herbed tender meatballs. I'd definitely get this again, along with the grilled zucchini with worm salt and mint, which was so flavorful and tasty. We also got the smokey romano beans with fire roasted tomato, which was also really good but just keep in mind the emphasis on the smokey flavor! It wasn't my cup of tea but that's for sure a personal thing. For pastas, I'd rank them in this order: 1. our favorite was today's lasagna du jour, which was mushroom! So delicious, with a crispy cheesy crust, soft tender interior, and an almost caramelized tomato sauce accompanying. 2. Reginette with pork sugo (meat sauce) and spicy turnip greens was next, which had wonderful flavor with the tomato-based sauce and pieces of pork but if you like it slightly softer texture it might not be for you (same with the fusilli; the go-to preparation is aldente!). 3. Fusilli alla vodka with tomato, calabrian chili, cream, basil, and added garlic butter shrimps; this one's sauce felt a little underwhelming and more watery than creamy, and I'm just now realizing that although the menu said four garlic butter shrimp (an extra $7), we only got three. I think I'd come back for the lasagna and/or to buy the pasta from their expansive stock, cook it a bit longer, and serve it covered in a decadent creamy sauce.
