La Bottega - Vancouver

I was walking on Main St. looking for lunch and was faced with several viable options. A corner table on La Bottega's patio, which was in the shade, called to me as it was a warm, sunny day. I entered and was immediately greeted by extremely welcoming staff. As the table I was eyeing was being prepared for me, I must have been asked another three times if I'd yet been helped. Great attentiveness! I took my seat and placed my order: 1/2 Giuseppe sandwich and 1/2 smoked mushroom ravioli. It arrived in no time at all and was delicious. Everything about the experience was perfect. I highly recommend this place and am excited to return for dinner sometime.

I love Italian food. And finding great places that are authentic aren't that easy. This place was amazing!!!! The staff was courteous, attentative, and helpful. I love the layout of the whole restaraunt, and the decor. And the food was to die for. I am so happy we found this place. I will definately be coming back to try more dishes!!! I also love that they change their menu depending on what's in season, so I can look forward to trying new things when I come back again!

It’s a good thing I live an hour away or I’d die here with a mouth full of olives. Comfortable atmosphere, perfectly simple pasta, and the best Caesar I’ve ever had.

Very Good food and very good service. Love this place. Makes us feel like we are back in a little Italian neighborhood place, where the best Italian food is routine. Something that does exist here in the NW.

My wait staff Jen had a great wine suggestion for our meal. I particularly enjoyed the beef tips and house made gnocchi while my dinner partner had the mushroom ravioli. Always great service and food.
