Bottino

Had a great time on a last minute reservation. Casual and fancy ambiance. Service was excellent and friendly. Very timely. Had an overcharge on wine but they quickly fixed the issue. 1. Burrata - fresh and good mix of ingredients with fig and pear2. Chicken and duck liver - very smooth and comes with Concord grape jam which was delicious3. Steak - cooked perfectly medium as expected and not overly salted. Great steak quality. Comes with lots of mushrooms4. Squid ink pasta - with deshelled mussels which was lightly fishy tasting but delicious! 5. Chocolate pudding - very good and dark chocolate tasting6. Affogato - refreshing was to have a shot of espresso. Had it with amaro which they give plenty of and I liked it was separate.Good limited single glass wine listOverall a great time here and would gladly come again! Highly recommended!

This place was such a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting anything, I picked the restaurant based on location but it was perfect. It was easy to get a reservation. I had the fried artichokes, butter lettuce salad and the cappelletti with sunchoke, butternut squash and mascarpone. Everything was absolutely delicious. The waiters were very attentive. The place itself is beautiful, we sat insight and it was very comfortable and the noise volume was good. They even surprised my friend with a birthday cake, which I wasn't expecting. Would definitely come here again and try the outdoor seating.

Another NYC gem!Tucked away off of 10th Ave. but well worth the travel from the closest train station. Came with reservations and was quickly sat. Had the option to sit indoor or in their outdoor/covered garden. The ambiance was nice. Both wonderful options.The food was very good and service was top notch. Kim was our server and was magnificent. Very attentive and helpful. Ordered the deviled eggs as an app with the bread basket. Deviled eggs were "different" but pretty good but the pastas were the true highlight. Would have loved the bread to be toasted. Great date night spot and I'm sure a neighborhood gem!

Super cute restaurant with great food and service!We came here with a large group..the restaurant was able to accommodate us with advanced reservations. All 10 of us like our food.

I attended a 50-person event here, and it was a great experience. They did a great job of the flow between a ceremony and rearranging for sit-down dinner. The patio with the greenery around makes one feel like she is in a city forest. It truly feels like an escape from the city despite being in a great location.The food was great! We loved all the pass around items before the main meal as well as the dinner dishes. The steak was probably the winner at the table, and I was wild about the arugula salad. The waiters did a great job keeping our glasses full.I can't speak directly to the event planning experience since it was my friends' event, but they said it was overall really great and easy leading up to the event. Very memorable!

We dined here on a Saturday night after our son had selected this for his wedding reception next year. We found the staff to be incredibly helpful in planning the event. We also found the food to be incredible. We had a meal that lasted well over two hours, which was exactly what we needed to go over some details regarding the event. At no point will rushed, the staff was attentive when necessary and distant when we would have preferred them to be distant. We dined in their back patio, and found it to be lovely. Obviously, we will be coming back, but I would strongly suggest this as a worthy local place.

This is one of those restaurants that you may decide to pass on because the outside doesn't look so great. Don't be fooled, it's beautiful and spacious on the inside with a patio to boot. I was there for a corporate event, so the patio and back room were blocked out for us. We also had a limited menu choice. What I had was excellent. I had the Branzino entree, an Angels Envy neat, and a salad with blue cheese and pomegranate seeds. It is very warm and cozy, romantic, and welcoming. The staff is outstanding. Remember to tip well.

TLDR: An unassuming but delicious and beautiful Italian spot in Chelsea. The ambience of the restaurant was so unexpected with its twinkly lights and super spacious interior. The service was great, our waiter was able to recommend a delicious wine for the table. Of the appetizers- I recommend ordering the Burrata. It was so fresh and paired well with the prosciutto. The stars were definitely the pasta dishes, the sauce was emulsified and pasta itself cooked al dente.

Was here for the NYE late night package! Definitely not the normal situation with a pre fixe menu and a DJ. However, I need to give them a review and props for their great service.One of the partners were there to make sure everything went well that night and the waiter was super nice. It's a great option to have a delicious dinner and some upbeat music without doing one of those other big NYE events. Delicious lobster bisque and skirt steak! Plus more champagne than we needed!

Classy, delicious, expensive. The fried artichokes are a can't miss appetizer. The seared branzino was absolutely delicious. Nice wine list. Excellent service from the bar to our table. The heated outdoor patio made it possible to accommodate our health safety needs for a business dinner. So many dollar signs but that's how it is in New York. Not the most remarkable meal I've had here but very solid on the excellence level.
