Incredible Pizza proper authentic Italian taste. Bought me back to having amazing pizzas in the city of Napoli. Fantastic customer service very friendly and attended to our needs. I had the Mozarella in Carroza, followed by the Laviano Pizza with Skinny fries which was so succulent and tasty.

Great food, especially the steaks (2 for 40 including a drink each). Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. Very children friendly too which is lovely.

We went to Bottegino's recently for my son's birthday. I called ahead to book a table for lunch, and I'm very glad I did. I was surprised it was so busy in there for a lunchtime, but they do have a good lunchtime offer menu. I was also very surprised (and relieved) to see so many families in there, as it meant I could relax about my baby disturbing people if she was too noisy. The atmosphere was buzzing and it was a lovely experience. You can tell that it's got a good reputation by how popular it is. The food was lovely. I had the fungi tartara and my husband had prawn cocktail - both delicious. For main my husband had a pizza (which can be boxed to take home if you're not capable of eating it in one sitting ), I had the carbonara and my son had the kids chicken and chips. We were all so stuffed after, that there was no room for pudding unfortunately. However, as it was a special occasion, they made it really special for my boy by putting a candle in some ice cream and singing happy birthday to him. He was delighted. What was really nice was that the day after we went, we had a follow up call from the restaurant to ask how our meal was. Customer service on point! We will return!

Went for a birthday lunch on a Monday. Restaurant has very reasonable lunch deals so was expecting a small portion but it was more than full size and we couldn't finish it all. The staff were happy to box up the leftovers for us. Very friendly staff, nice food and nice surroundings. Paid the bill and mentioned we were out for a birthday and the next thing we knew the waiter appeared with a bowl of ice cream with a candle in it and they sang happy Birthday to my daughter. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

I have been going to this Italian for 10 years and the food has never changed, always high quality traditional Italian food at reasonable prices! My favourites are the penne alla matriciana and pizza laviano! This place can get busy and the servers can be abrupt at these times or hard to get someone’s attention if you’re in the outside section but overall the staff have always been a credit to bottaginos! I will always keep coming back here as it’s my fave Italian!

Service here is quick and efficient! Very friendly staff, who are well experienced and brilliantly trained! Lovely atmosphere, nice lighting and lively music at a decent volume.... But not overpowering, so you can still have great conversation! Perfect balance really! Greeted on arrival, as soon as we walked through the door, very accommodating for anything you need while you're here! The food was great, decent flavour and well presented! Delivered to the table piping hot! I was so hungry I forgot to take photos, oops! Great portion sizes, we had to take the rest home in takeaway boxes! I had been wanting to try this place for a very long time, as my friends rate it rather highly! Was definitely not disappointed! Prices are very reasonable too!

The Sunday Lunch deal at Botteginos is truly amazing, with the food being of extremely good quality and for a very reasonable price. Staff are always friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great. I am hoping this deal is kept going in 2025, as we look forward to attending many more Sunday specials there.

I must say a massive thank you to all Bottegino’s staff for today. They managed to accommodate a group of over 30 people with patience, kindness, excellent service and really tasty food. From booking with them to delivering the food to the table it was all excellent and I cannot fault a thing. Portions were huge and food was very tasty, so thank you all again.
