Bottega

On mange bien à Bottega !
Ma pizza aux anchois était bonne, la pâte et la garniture étaient vraiment à mon goût ! Le service a été super rapide, en moins de 10 minutes ma pizza a été servie et j’y étais un jeudi soir à 19h !
La carte des pizzas me donnaient envie et il y a 2 types de pizzas, celle avec ou sans sauce tomate. Il faudra tester les autres … :)
Pour le dessert j’ai pris un classique tiramisu mais que c’était bon, j’ai adoré la présentation avec 3 boules de tiramisu. On a l’impression de se faire servir 3 boules de glaces au premier abord, j’ai cru à une erreur au début :)
Au niveau des prix je trouve cela dans la normal, le service était très agréable et prévenant !
A refaire sans hésitation :)

Bön restaurent!
Nous y sommes aller le mardi soir et le restaurent était rempli! Le service est impeccable, l’ambiance chaleureuse. Nous avons commandé des calmars frits, qui étaient à la hauteur de nos attentes! Seul hic, les pizzas sans sauce, à mon avis, manquent de goût: pour ma part, pizza aux légumes grillés qui étaient plutôt éparses et peu goûteux, dommage.

I’ve been going to the Laval Bottega location for the better part of the last decade. A recent gathering of friends brought me to the ‘original location’ in beautiful Little Italy. I was excited to find out if this location offered the same quality of food or if there was a notable difference in any way.
The first thing I noticed was that this location is probably half the size of the Laval location. The décor is about the same and it promotes a warm and intimate environment, ideal for a date or special occasion with a significant other.
I went with their polpetta (meatball drenched in tomato sauce and Italian herbs), a marinara pizza as a main and for dessert their Nutella pizza!
The polpetta is so underappreciated I can’t help to recommend it to everyone I eat here with. Sure, the price-​tag of $ 4 per meatball is off-​putting but trust me… try it. It’s perfect and it will leave you wanting for more. In some ways it was so good it sometimes overshadows the main course for me. Thinking about it right now makes me drool…
I’d go here and order 5 of them and just leave a happy man.
I went with their marinara pizza and while it was good I will freely admit I was somewhat disappointed but it. I expect my pizza to maximize. the space in my plate with a perfect crust ratio and for some reason my pizza was somewhat deformed. It wasn’t round but more so leaf shaped? Furthermore, the crust was too thick which left me less tomato/​igredient goodness in the middle to enjoy. I enjoy the crust but I’d recommend better preparation.
For dessert we shared the Nutella pizza and it was sublime. Thankfully it was properly prepared being perfectly round with little crust to deal with.
Price-​tag is a little high but it’s worth it.
Overall I enjoyed it but I much prefer the Laval location for a variety of reasons.
Buon appetito!

Bön restaurant italien, nous y sommes allés un mardi soir et la salle était pleine, nous avons eu une place rapidement car nous étions que deux mais à partir du jeudi né comptez pas y aller si vous n’avez pas réservé.
Accueil courtois, dans ce beau décor à l’ambiance italienne.
Cuisine dans le fond du restaurant où nous pouvons voir les pizzaiolos préparer les pizzas et les plats.
À notre arrivée, le serveur nous propose les entrées du jour, Nous optons pour deux entrées différentes afin de goûter et le serveur nous propose même de partager.
Pour moi cannelloni aux deux viandes et carpaccio de veau sauce au thon pour mon mari. Un délice !
Ensuite nous avons eu les yeux plus gros que le ventre, car nous avons opté pour une pizza chacun (Margarita pour moi et une à base d’épinards pour mon mari). Alors que nous aurions pu opter pour une pizza à 2 et là encore ils nous apportent tout le nécessaire pour pouvoir partager la pizza.
Pizza délicieuse, pâte fine et garniture au top.
Rapport qualité prix correct, de bons produits
A Essayer

We are impressed with the atmosphere. The only positive comment we have about this place is that dishes are very affordable, or completely inexpensive.
For starters, we order a veal meatball with tomato sauce and a cannelloni alla bolongnese. Ok, veal meatball came out directly from the oven, very hot very tasty to start with. Cannelloni is average. Would not repeat this dish next time.
However, the crust was a thin crust but too soft, and doughy, feeling a bit too spongy/​chewy. The tomato sauce does not taste much. The toppings, very few eggplants and only ONE piece of basil in a 12-​inch pizza. The boccoccini cheese was alright. Nothing much i can say about.

Bonne pizza dans un beau cadre dans la Petite-​Italie. Jeudi 20h30, restaurant rempli + terrasse extérieure remplie, heureusement que j’avais réservé via une application de réservation. Beau cadre intérieur, ambiance italienne sympa dans la Petite Italie. En entrée, salade d’endive 10 $, légère, plat principal, pizza Diavola 15 $, une des meilleures pizzas sur feu de bois que j’ai mangé. Prix corrects. Service ok. Client satisfait, j’y retournerai sûrement.

S*cks! Way over priced for what u get… Don’t like the vibe & ambiance. Why people here pretend to be something they are not??? No way I shall be back.

Anyone that knows real pizza will agree that this place serves the best Napolitan pizza in Montréal. The dough and crust is simply spectacular.

Usually this place is great
But the second time I visited it was my last
Ordered a Margareta pizza with a side of olives.
Both me and my wife got food poisoning (some virus), ended up in the hospital.
Thanks guys

Good pizza, great service! Went at 9, place was full and yet we received our dishes within minutes of ordering them. Staff was attentive all evening. Would go back anytime!

not sure what the fuss is about here. the pizza was average at best and overpriced, especially considering this place is right in little italy where there’s an abundance of napoletan style pizza.
the service was careless — servers were scarce and indifferent, and didn’t know the wine list at all. we had a booking for a table, and were crushed into the bar with too many others.
i like casual places, but for the price we paid i was pretty unimpressed.

Quand ce resto a ouvert je né me gênais pas pour dire qu’ils avaient la meilleure pizza en ville. A la fois delicate pour sa pâte mais généreuse en garniture fraîche et recherchée. J’y retourne dernièrement avec des amies et sans dire que c’était mauvais, je n’ai pas retrouvée la satisfaction de jadis. J’ai mangé les boulettes de veau en entrée, bonnes sans plus et ma pizza était de pâte mouillée et pauvre en garniture. Tellement de choix maintenant que ce né sera plus un endroit que je vais conseiller. Par contre les prix sont raisonnables.

Great pizza, fresh ingredients, charming wait staff, comfortable multicultural family vibe. Super wine list, hip décor. Just go.

I have been here twice and twice I was salivating for «the best pizza in town» and twice I have left disappointed.
The first time, I ordered the pepperoni pizza. It’s about a 10″, scare on the cheese side of things. The wood-​oven crust, which I had been looking forward to the most, failed to impress me. Yes, it is a good crust, but I feel I have had better elsewhere.
The second time, I had a calzone, sort of pizza roll (think glorified pizza pocket). I am sure there are excellent calzones out there, just not at this place. Just
Overall, the pizzas are very artisanal and feel authentic. The service is so-​so; water did not get refilled, it takes a long time to be seated or to get acknowledged, and you are hushed out if you are done.
The ambiance is nice, good for a romantic date. The tables are too close to each other however and we often found ourselves almost in the conversation of our neighbours.

The pizza was better than the apps but nothing special. Had the meatball, arachini, arugula salad, all lacked something that would make it special. Service was good. Been twice, both times I left feeling meh.

If you’re looking for a high quality «single serve» pizza like you get on the streets of Rome, this is a place for you!
We very much enjoyed the food and the friendly. «young professional» service.
Felt like it was on the ‘fringe’ of Little Italy; you didn’t feel like you were in the middle of a touristy restaurant zone.

The experience here at bottega was great ! The wine, the cannoli dessert, most delicious the ravioli appetizer (only available on certain days) and the classic margharita pizza was very good. Me and a few of my friends went there for a birthday celebration about 1 month ago and we all were happy with service, food and of coarse wine selection.

I think I’m becoming a regular at Bottega. There are times when I go twice a week; for good reason though. They make the best authentic Italian pizzas in MTL, along with other traditional Italian dishes. I personally believe their pizzas are the closest thing to the real deal that you could find.
I recently traveled to Naples and ate at the world renown «Da Michele’s». Upon my return I went to Bottega to compare pizzas.
I must say, it doesn’t taste exactly like the pizza in Naples, but it comes pretty friggin’ close! For that, I must give Bottega a huge shout out for representing the beauty and simplicity in Italian cuisine.
When I order, I usually get the classic margarita pizza. You could never go wrong with that. It’s the original and it’s the best! However, if you’re not in the mood for pizza, there’s a variety of pasta dishes to order as well.
They serve very good gelato too. Their hazelnut and pistachio flavours are killer!
Don’t forget to wash down your meal with a delicious shot of chilled limoncello!
It’s not that expensive. You could eat great for 20 $.
Enjoy ;)

Bottega is located on Zotique in the Little Italy neighborhood. I’ll be honest, I was planning to go to Pizzeria Napoletana, but the lineup was huge so me and my friend ended up here. Bottega has a very interesting food menu & a big wine list. One of the things I liked is they have zucchini flowers on the menu (Seasonal of course). We tried the Arancini. Wasn’t a big fan. It was too dry. The pizza was good but not as good as magpie. There’s something about the tomato sauce at magpie that makes their pizza’s special. Sorry Bottega, you are #2 when it comes to pizza. I’d pick pizza at Magpie anyday .
Food: Good
Service :Fast
Ambiance: Casual
Worth the price: Yes

Horrible experience at bottega — told the staff we are leaving and the waitress said ‘perfect’. Stay away — they do not deserve your business.

Pizza is nothing like Italy… It feels like a poorly cooked pancake batter. (Very difficult to digest!)
However, the appetizers are truly excellent and so is the gelato. Staff is nice and polite!

The food in Bottega is really good and the pizza has unique flavour. Zucchini flowers for appetizer — what a treat!

I’m a bit surprised this pizza place is so well reviewed. I much prefer Magpie than Bottega. I went there maybe few months ago and it was not memorable at all.
It was busy and the vibe was cool but I won’t go back for the pizza!

This has got to be my favourite pizza in Montréal. They are just like what you find in Italy and the service is very good. If you want to start with an appetizer then the meatballs are an excellent choice as is the melanzane (eggplant). I usually get the pizza Siciliana which has eggplant on it or the Margherita and I highly recommend them both. For dessert the tiramisu is always tasty.
You’ll need to reserve for this place because it is ALWAYS packed. I’ve been loads of times and they are always busy everytime I go.

La meilleure pizza que j’ai mangée dans ma vie! Je me ferais faire un t-​shirt pour en faire la promo tellement c’est bon… Une grande épicurienne m’a dit qu’elle n’avait rien goûté de tel depuis son voyage à Naples.
Mes coups de coeur: L’arancino (croquette de riz farcie au proscuitto) et la polpetta en entrée et la margherita comme plat principal. Ils ont toujours des plats du jour (off menu) à proposer. Évidemment, il faut essayer le gelato maison pour dessert. Pistaches, pistaches, pistaches…
Simple, frais, pas trop salé. Personnel accueillant, sympathique et efficace. Réservez quelques jours à l’avance (surtout si vous voulez y aller la fin de semaine).
Terrasse sur le trottoir (pour les amateurs de «manger dehors»). Stationnement à l’arrière.

WOW!!! meilleure pizza à Montréal by far!!! Quel délice :) J’ai pris la Margherita, simple et excellent. Super service et ambiance.
Le gelato comme dessert au basilic!!! incroyable, celui à la noisette était aussi très bon.
J’y retournerais, c’est sûr!

J’ai aimé à un point que je vais y retourner de temps en temps. C’est juste un peu trop éclairé à mon goût personnel, mais ça c’est chacun ses goûts.
Mais quand la nourriture est excellente, j’y retourne. :-)
Les meilleurs calmars frits que j’ai mangé à Montréal. Leurs pizzas sont superbes.
C’est un restaurant de quartier, avec beaucoup de réguliers, mais aussi un restaurant qu’on va se déplacer pour y aller.
Le service est très bon, voir excellent.

Best pizza crust ever!
We went here cuz my bf was in the mood for pizza, and he asked me do you know any good pizza place, DO I? hahaha.
Found this place a few years back, aside from pizza they also have the best gnocchi in town, I believe it’s the same folks from the now closed Il Mulino restaurant.
The pizzas are fresh and the crust is perfectly crispy while retaining a mild chewy texture. The toppings are simple and fresh.
The bread is fresh and amazing, sadly, it is only served with olive oil and no balsamic vinegar :(
4 stars overall, but 5 stars for pizza and gnocchi
