- The Corcoran GroupMay 27, 2011A lively Italian restaurant, especially in the back patio. Try the Asparagus Vinaigrette, Orecchiette with Boar Sausage or the Roast Rack of Lamb.

Carol ParkSeptember 19, 2012Solid food - boar skewers and lasagna - heavenly. Danny is friendly and accommodating and the rest of the staff - professional and accommodating. Had a small event here and it was perfection.
Serious EatsDecember 13, 2014Prosciutto and mozzarella has long been a favorite sandwich combo. But if you stop by here try the Prosciutto and Mascarpone. It will have you coming back for more! Read more

Fred WilsonJune 15, 2013Sit outside in the back garden in the summer. But you need to make a reservation to get a table outside
I KMarch 31, 2019The pastas are very good, so is the fillet mignon. Ask for olive oil and salt and pepper to dip your bread. Waiters are all cute white guys. I’m not mad at it.
Scott JacobsonOctober 21, 2014Fantastic italian restaurant. The food is reasonably priced and really delicious. Top notch service and a great atmosphere. Great space for small private parties as well.
JasonOctober 3, 2015Wonderfully cooked pasta dishes and surprisingly tasty appetizers. Eat out back when the weather is nice.
Nik NadolskiSeptember 20, 2013Gluten Free? Order the pan-seared tuna and you won't be disappointed watching your companions enjoy their incredible pastas.
Boon YapOctober 20, 2012The Calamari Fritti is sublime. Orecchiette is yummy. Order both - you will not regret either. Attentive waitstaff, and amazing martinis.
Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsOctober 1, 2013Dinner tip: Try the orecchiette with broccoli rabe and boar sausage, covered in shredded Tuscan pecorino cheese – simple, yet truly delicious Read more
Lou CarulliMay 28, 2014Overall great food. If you can't eat in they have a to go area next door with same food as well as addition menu items like sandwiches.
Kent Fine ArtAugust 23, 2012For a great selection of sandwiches, pastas and soups, grab a bite at Bottino's for takeaway / lunch and dinner. Great place also for some celeb art world spotting!- Serious EatsSeptember 16, 2013This two-part shop on Tenth Avenue does excellent sandwiches to go; we're particularly fond of anything with prosciutto.
BLOUIN ARTINFOOctober 2, 2012Bottino was a much-needed addition to the barren Chelsea dining landscape in 1996 when it opened in partnership with Barbara Gladstone, Matthew Marks, and Metro Pictures galleries. Read more
Chris DresslerJuly 27, 2018Cute place with great food. No AC on the day we were there, so sat sweating at the bar. Otherwise, good stuff.
Sumit BohraApril 13, 2018Affordable fine dining; tuscan-style service; high-quality Italian menu with great variety
Pace GalleryAugust 2, 2010Take it from those of us in Chelsea - Bottino is the place to go for a tasty, delicious lunch! Check out their garden in the back or get take-out and eat on the highline.
Claudia Panfil CrowderSeptember 18, 2013Highly recommend the filet mignon main and cheese plate for final course.
Karen PatrickApril 19, 2013Garden in the back is awesome. Almost as awesome as the grilled chicken salad.
Caroline GMay 16, 2012Being gluten sensitive makes pasta a non-starter usually but then have a gluten-free rice pasta. Score!
Gilt CityAugust 23, 2010In nice weather, you can’t beat the experience of sitting in Bottino’s luxuriant garden feasting on Tuscan fare.
Service is as good as the handmade sandwiches. Try the roastbeef on wheat. Olive oil on sandwich is top tier.
The Tiny TieRantJuly 12, 2014Not all that it's cracked up to be. The outside seating seemed like a good idea until the start of an unbearably loud saw going next door. Food was eh and waitress was argumentative. Save your $
Daniel BarnettJuly 19, 2015The place felt like a restaurant going out of business. Wait or didn't know what was floating our water. Food was tasteless and uninspired and obviously left under a heat lamp for far too long. Oy.
miles lennonAugust 25, 2013Unless you sit in the outdoor garden, it isn't worth it. Chicken entree was an 8 out of 10 though.
Michael G.August 15, 2015Was very underwhelmed. Certainly not worth the price. On a positive note, the server was friendly and the food came out super fast
Yigit UlucayAugust 29, 2015Food is delicious. I like the grilled salmon. Small garden at the back is really nice. However, we lost our phone here, and the personnel wasn't helpful at all when we asked about it.
- Rafael RojoDecember 29, 2014Muy buen servicio. La ensalada de pera con arúgula y el fetuccinni a'la arangosta excelente. La limonada muy buena pero otras bebidas son de máquina. La lasagna excelente. La orcchiata buena y ligera.
