About La Bottega
La Bottega or in English, “The Store”, was founded by Marisa and Giuseppe Ruta on March 2003. Their love for Italian cuisines made them open this restaurant in Long Island.
As of today, this restaurant has 14 different locations. They were featured in many newspapers and is well known for their Panini.
La Bottega Review
This restaurant provides outdoor seating aside from their well-decorated and attractive interior. They also provide customers with a cozy and home-like ambiance.
With all the Italian dishes they have to offer, La Bottega has a unique way on how their food is served. Their presentation of food makes it very appetizing and attractive. On top of that, you can actually taste each ingredient in your dish because they don’t drown it with sauces or cream; instead, they let the natural flavors come out which is something that you rarely see in other restaurants these days.
What’s Good? Their Paninis are definitely what people come back for! They are made fresh when ordered so expect to wait there’s huge
La Bottega serves great food and is considered a “go-to” restaurant for those craving for Italian food. Their wide range of delectable food choices also has reasonable prices.
Recommended menu items are their famous Panini, salad, bruschetta, and gelato. They also have gluten-free and vegetarian options and provide catering services. For drinks, their espresso and cappuccino are must-tries!
They have excellent customer service and waiters/waitresses are very attentive and always make sure you’re comfortable and content while dining in the restaurant. They also provide takeout and deliveries.
What’s Bad? Despite having a wide selection of food, their menu doesn’t offer much variety which might be a drawback for customers who want to try different dishes.
The Verdict It has been several years since this Italian cuisine restaurant started operating but it continued with its quality service, great food presentation, and fast customer service.
Will I go back to La Bottega?
Yes, I will go back for their delicious Panini. Good food and service at affordable prices! What else does one need in a restaurant?
