    First time at @botl in New Kensington- only 20 or so min from Fox Chapel area. The food and service…read morewas fantastic. I had a very good mojito and my husband had a rusty nail. We then split the Nico's salad. It had Agi tuna , pickles, cukes, candied walnuts, pickled egg , Kalamata and castelvetrano olives and grilled fingerling potatoes. Then we shared the mussels and for dessert Baklava key lime cheesecake from Sweet Tillies in New Ken.

    Stopped by botL for a quick lunch break. A restaurant this cool has absolutely no business being…read moretucked into the middle of a random neighborhood. It almost feels like you discovered something you weren't supposed to find. The menu is just as random as the location -- sandwiches, tacos, salads, and small plates. It sounds chaotic... but somehow it works. But at botL, the cacio e pepe is king. Yes, that cacio e pepe. The infamous Roman dish with so few ingredients that it has no right delivering this much flavor. It's simple food that exposes bad technique instantly... and botL absolutely nails it. They don't mess around either, even incorporating the hollowed-out cheese wheel. Sure, it might look a little showy... but when it tastes this good, who cares? I added the blackened shrimp and it was cooked to perfection. Perfect seasoning, perfect texture, perfect addition. Sometimes the best meals come from the most unexpected places... and botL fits that bill perfectly.
