Bottega Angelina

I had my daughter's 18th birthday at Bottega Angelina and had such a beautiful experience. The manager, Amar, was very kind and thoughtful and the service was amazing. We ordered a cake to be served and it was the best red velvet cake I have ever had! Everyone loved their meals and my daughter had such a special birthday! I recommend this restaurant if you want yummy food, good service, a fun vibe and a stress-free evening! Thank you for such a special night!

We stopped by Bottega Angelina between lunch and dinner and sat at the bar. The bartender was great--helpful and friendly but not overbearing.The Tagliolini al Caviale was incredible--house-made pasta topped with Beluga caviar and a lemony sauce. I've been craving it every day since. We started with oysters and the Mozzarella and Melon, and since we couldn't decide between the regular focaccia and the Focaccia alle Cipolle, we got both. The onion focaccia was especially good.For drinks, we had the Giovanotto, one of their specialty cocktails with mezcal and passion fruit, and the bartender recommended a pear and ginger cocktail, which was also great. We also had an Aperol Spritz and one of their beers--everything was excellent.My husband got the Hamachi Crudo and loved it. The flavors were super fresh, with citrus and a little spice. Had dessert and coffee and everything was good, cute coffee mugs and I liked that the dessert was a reasonable size not giant.This was our third time here, and it's been great every time. We also used to go to their Los Olivos location all the time when we lived there. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

Nice place with a great view. The service is solid. The food is good with quality ingredients. Having been there for dinner, lunch, and a special occasion in the private room in the back, I'd recommend this place for lunch. The salads are really meant for a single person. The sandwich and pizza we shared sitting at the bar was good. The Branzino I had at dinner was cooked well, you're going to need to order a side or two with this. The standout is the calamari and shrimp appetizer. Definitely order this.

I was excited to try this restaurant. I had heard good things from my family. Its situated on a hill with a spectacular view of the ocean. The restaurant itself is very upscale and contemporary. There is a little shop in the front with lots of gelato. The bar itself is pretty large and the dining area is very open. You can sit outside as well. Service was great. We were seated quickly and our waitress was very nice and was always checking on us.I wish I could have given this restaurant a 5 but the food brings it down to a 3. The food isn't bad by any means. We ordered the Breaded Chicken, Marinara Pizza(no cheese! Great for those with lactose issues), and Fettucine Bolognese. For the price point I was expecting better. As others have said, their dishes need more seasoning, flavor, etc. The chicken was good but bland. The pizza sauce was good but the crust is very overwhelming(I didn't mind the thinness). The Bolognese wasn't anything special either. The menu makes the dishes sound out of this world but they just aren't. In conclusion, it seems like they don't know what they want this place to be. Upscale with ordinary food? It's like they are trying to force it to justify the price point with the view. Using extremely elegant and fantastical words to describe dishes that are more ordinary doesn't cut it. Go here for the view, drinks and apps. If you want good Italian food, there are much better places.

This is our second visit. I did not post our first visit from 2022 here, but I am adding a screenshot of what I posted on FB. I recall having the best wagyu sandwich for lunch and pistachio gelato. I was craving for Napoletana Pizza the other night and Bottega Angelina answered! Ambiance is always amazing! I'm still in awe of how a once tiny restaurant was able to elevate to the establishment they are today.Love their little Italian shop in front with goodies from Italy. Love the service, ambiance and food!Kudos to having consistent taste and service!

Really enjoyed my Sunday lunch here.We were the only customers here around 1pm but people started trickling in thereafter.Live pianist was playing and he was good. You can make reservations for outside patio on Reesy online. I think outside seating is preferred but with live music I think either are great. Enjoyed my coffee, lasagna, and tried the branzino--all of which was great. Service and view were great and I see myself coming back for dinner sometime.

Overall, this was a pretty underwhelming experience. The $16 soup was small and lacked excitement, and the $22 meatballs didn't stand out. The linguine alle vongole was disappointing with sandy clams and a strange odor with the pasta being so plain, but the staff was very understanding and quickly took it back. On a brighter note, the pizza was actually quite good, with a nice, crispy crust. Unfortunately, we ordered focaccia but realized after we left that it never made it to our table.

So we are just getting back from dinner and looked more closely at my bill because as I was thinking the amount I paid was quite a lot for 4 people and my jaw dropped. At dinner tonight we ordered a bottle of 2019 Silver Oak Cab. After a long wait, this guy comes up and says I'm sorry but we are out of Silver Oak but this wine Covert is the same price. Mind you the Sliver Oak was $125. When I looked at my receipt I was charged $245!! What a scam!!Review edit - I received a call from the GM who explained the error and was amazing about it. I really do appreciate great customer service and will definitely be back. The food really is incredible.

Bottega Angelina was a bucketlist location for me for quite some time. My girlfriends kept telling me "how have you not been there yet, its literally across the street?" Well, thanks to the Magic of Yelp and Fate , Im now a new regular! I came here earlier this week and wanted to return again for a birthday dinner tonight. Everyone on the team was awesome. We arrived at 5:30pm, with reservations, and were warmly greeted by the manager. When i mentioned this was my second time in the same week, he smiled. The ambiance is on point. This time, i was seated at a window seat with large couch/chaise next to the live music playing and i loved it! Soo comfortable. Almost immediately, the acoustic guitar player was playing and it was perfection!! We ordered the DIAVOLA PIZZE: $26mozzarella di bufala, spicy salami, San Marzano DOP tomato, basil, EOO.Risotto Aragosta allo Zafferano $50.00Grilled lobster tail, over risotto with saffron butter and parmigiano romanoFOCACCIA 1/2 and 1/2 $91/2 freshly made rosemary focaccia and sweet onion ,maldon focaccia, maldon salt, with oil and vinegar.Drinks: me: Torroco #4. Everything was perfect. The lobster with the saffron butter and risotto honestly: chefs kiss! Best choice! The Pizza was also excellent! Kimberly remembered me from my previous visit and was super kind to say hello. She is a gem! Love her aura and her positive vibe! I forgot my servers name, but he was also amazing! Service 10/10.Food: 10/10Drink: 10/10 The electric guitarist came over and spoke to my table and serenaded me. It was a great personal touch. 10/10!The sweetest moment for me: for my bday they surprised me with a chocolate ball, that had gold flakes on it, and a spoon. I was told to break it and see whats inside: inside was italian chocolate squares individually wrapped and delicious! I had to nibble on the chocolate ball after i broke into pieces and loved that too. After dinner we went to the mercato and couldn't resist buying some cannoli's and other goodies to go. I will review those on another post. Thank you Bottega Angelina for another great experience. Looking forward to being a regular and attending all the other events you have at your venue. Especially Happy hour and $27 club.

To start white wine selection missing Riesling and white zinadel. Margarita below standard. Calamari below standard 2 shrimps were good. Sauce was good leftover from pasta but tasty.Some of the pizzas were uncooked. Server was excellent. Too bad the food didn't meet the standard. Jazzi piano excellent as well.The view doesn't improve the quality/taste of food. Too bad, good location.$$$ over priced.
