Hungry Pot is really good and punches above its weight class in an Asian food desert. Make no…read moremistake, this is not an authentic kbbq experience (if you couldn't tell by the hot pot + seafood boil combo) but when you're craving grilled meats drenched in sauce this is the place to go. The key is to focus your ordering, go for the ribeye(inconsistent), finger ribs, hungry pot pork belly, and the marinated short rib. Do not waste stomach space on anything else especially the seafood offerings. Get some rice, lettuce leafs, some sauce and clear out the rest of your schedule for afterwards. The service is great. They bring the meats out with no delay, grill changes are frequent, and they do a good job bussing your table. The ambience is interesting especially if you're sitting next to one of the blue LED bars.

In general it's not as good as the one in Danbury, less selection and all the meat don't have any…read moretaste, very disappointed. Food very very bland.... Same to the Crab legs overcooked and tasteless. Not many seafood selection for bbq/hotpot. Pineapple very sour, looks not ripe yet. We had hotpot and bbq. There's always missing items especially the meat, not giving much veggies for you very small bunch (few strings watercress) for 5 pp(seriously!) then I figured regardless you add 1 or 5 they give you same amount, long wait too. We just end up feelin " begging for food" because you have to keep ordering to get some food to show up, unlike the experience we had in Danbury. I'd rather drive over there to have a better attentive meal. It's so obvious they failed to performe like a buffet especially there's comparison i had in Danbury and harsdale, NY and New Jersey locations. Service is slow even in a weekday. The person cleaning the table is doing good job, other than that, no one comes over unless we ask for it. Honestly in Danbury they keep coming over to either change the gril (so it doesn't get all the char)l or adding soup because they dry up quickly in small pot and no missing items. And also someone cares your experience.... It was also a birthday celebration night. Unfortunately the overall experience is not pleasant, food quality is below the standard. Hope they can improve as i do appreciate they are in the area.

The 20 oz porter steak was cooked perfectly. All sides were great. Creamed spinach delicious. 16 oz bone in strip was also cooked very well. My son loved his linguini carbonara. Waitress Tina was awesome. Polite, warm, and knowledgeable. Service was top notch. We ordered grilled shrimp on top of the steaks for the add ons. They were delicious but my father n law and I agreed that the portions should've been a but more. My wife loves mushrooms and she enjoyed it, but also said some of them were a bit watery. I can see why so many people have recommended this fine restaurant. We will definitely be back !

David, our friendly, knowledgeable host and waiter, made suggestions and we each ordered a salad and the Rigatoni Bolognese. The portions were perfect, not outrageously large, but enough to bring some home for another meal.

The bolognese was absolutely delicious and as good as any bolognese offered at an Italian eatery in Boston's North End.

We arrived around 6pm, to a fairly empty dining room. When we left, the room had filled out more. Can easily see this place be hopping on the weekend. Waitress was really nice! Recommend Bottega to everyone. We will definitely be back.

Let's start with what they do right. The place has that classic Italian restaurant feel cozy, welcoming, and clearly built for family-style dining. You can tell right away why people like it. Service tends to be friendly, portions are solid, and it checks that "comfort food" box. But The BEAST isn't here for vibes alone... helpful definitely, but we're here for the food. And this is where things level out. The dishes especially staples like chicken parm come out looking the part, but flavor-wise? It's a little one-dimensional. The sauce leans heavy and slightly flat, lacking that bright, fresh tomato punch you want in a strong Italian kitchen. It fills you up, sure but it doesn't leave a lasting impression. There's also a bit of that "quantity over precision" feel. Big portions are great, but when you're sitting at a 4.7-star reputation, expectations jump and this doesn't quite match that level of execution.
