    @ShanaDanekari & I hung out here tonight & had a great time. The food looked great; although we only had a cheese platter if we would definitely go back for dinner or drinks! :-)

    Love the polenta. The patio is a great place to hang out. Really comfy couches and a huge fireplace. FUN!

    Michael Chiarello has put together an amazing menu and wonderfully welcoming staff. However the $25 corkage fee is borderline absurd.

    The Spaghetti Sophia Loren, may be the best thing I have ever ate.

    If you're lucky you'll catch a glance of Chiarello working the room. Try the polenta under glass- a must!

    Try the burratta. One taste of this creamy whipped mozzarella burrata will transport you to cheese heaven!

    Truffle fries are an absolute must! The bread and parmesan dip they serve on the table is like crack. Luckily, they sell it in the shop across from the restaurant.

    The Pecorino cheese pudding with crispy soft-boiled egg & forno roasted rapini is as rich as it gets. The crispy texture of the crispy soft boiled egg is perfect. Read more

    Toss up between the grilled octopus and polenta under glass. Either way order a quartino of wine to share with your neighbor.

    Duck confit is magnifique! Also try their polenta. The way they make it is truly unique. They're also well-known for their gnocchi

    There's table seating for 40 around a patio, warmed by fireplaces, that wraps around two sides of the handsome restaurant.

    Before or after your fabulous meal at Bottega come taste our wines at Cornerstone Cellars - we're a 3 minute walk south just across from the post office. Foursquare visitors taste 2 for the price! Read more

    Staff was friendly. Food is decent, but portions were small for the price we paid. We went for lunch, so there were flies inside the restaurant; not a pleasing site.

    Horrific attitude at the door with a confirmed reservation for 9. We stood at the hostess' station for 10 minutes without any information. Complained to manager right away, nearly walked out the door.
