By Brooklyn standards, this place was very weak. The service was pretty sub par, the waiter needed to be flagged down for everything. The food was completely bland. It was edible but basically devoid of any seasoning. Definitely wouldn't recommend. There are a million better options in BK. read more

Perfect happy hour with mini burgers and cocktails. A good deal and great vibe and service.

wonderful service Anderson was great, he recommended the fried burata and the proscoutto and arugula pizzas was amazing, lets not talk about the salmone, amazing food and service . read more

Had a wonderful business meal and excellent service. This was our 4th time eating at Botte, and we will be back again next time we are in the area. The branzino main dish was especially delicious, and our server (from Italy) was great. read more

When nearby places are having long waits and no reservations, this was a great find. Sharped dressed servers greeted us immediately and welcomed us warmly. We ate late and still had great service. The specials sounded amazing, but once I saw the brick oven, I was down for pizza. Perfectly crispy crust with mushrooms and truffle oil on mozzarella. The flavors were so simple and perfectly balanced. I was sad when it was over. My wife had rigatoni with vodka sauce, and again- so balanced with great flavor. It was deeply rustic and delicious. The ingredients were clearly fresh and the prices were reasonable for good portions. Oh and the vibe inside was very nice. Warm, creative, inviting, cozy, without feeling like I was dining with the table next to me. When we're back in Brooklyn, we'll be back! read more

Came here for brunch a few weeks ago after searching for nice Italian near/around Downtown Brooklyn. Botte came up and I love trying new spots so some friends and family came here. What a treat! This place is such a hidden gem. It's not that easy to find this place. You can easily get to it by the many buses and trains that take you to Dekalb/Flatbush/Fulton, but it's a few blocks away from there. Kind of in the middle of no other businesses. Easy to miss! We were very warmly greeted by the lovely hostess. The decor screams so many things. It's classy, rustic, old-school...I know it sounds weird, but I get many vibes from it and that's not a bad thing! The bar is to the left and the white and black old-school tiles give it such a homey feeling. We had a reservation for 6 and we were seated promptly. We started with drinks. I had the Passione. That was Prosecco and Passion Fruit purée. That was so good and heavy on the Prosecco so I was feeling good! For an appetizer, I split the Bruschetta Fichi E Ricotta. It was caramelized figs, red wine reduction, and ricotta over toasted bread. So fresh and tasty! Everyone else at my table decided to get the pizzas. That seemed to be what all the patrons at this establishment were getting! I wasn't in the mood for pizza for brunch so I just go the vegetable omelet. Onions, peppers, mushrooms, and spinach. Came with fingerling potatoes and mixed greens. When the pizzas came out, my mom and I were so disappointed that we didn't get one! They looked AMAZING and my friends loved them. GREAT size for one person at a reasonable price. My omelet was only $15 and the drink was $10. You could get a pitcher of brunch drinks for only $32. For such a simple brunch item, my eggs were perfectly cooked and everything tasted off the charts! So satisfying. They don't have a dessert menu, but they do have dessert specials. I got the Pannacotta. Very good, not too heavy. I enjoyed it. I recommend everyone try Botte! Such attentive service, good food, and a great atmosphere with prices that won't break the bank. I'll be back! read more

They brought good bread to the table. I only wish it was warm but it was hood and the olive oil was great, very fruity. We ordered from. The restaurant week menu but also hot some additional appetizers. We started with a buratta and the beef carappcio (thinly diced raw beef). Both were delicious. The buratta was creamy, cold and fresh. The beef was very thinly sliced and melted away quickly. The only wish we had is that there was less greens or no greens on the items. They got in the way and were getting caught on our throats. The rice balls were crispy and very cheesy. They were lightly flavored and came with a tasty tangy red sauce. The calamari was very good as well. It was fried well and had a good chew. Both of these were from the restaurant week menu. By the time our mains arrived we were very full. I will say visually the chicken milanese looked better than the chicken parm. I didn't like how the mozerella looked on it. The milanese was also crispier. The appetizers were delicious and we ate very well. We took a bite of our mains but being full we went to dessert. Dessert was okay. The mouse was very decadent and was dark chocolate. It came with ice cream. The cannoli was fine but the cream was gritty which is normal for canoli. I definitely recommend this place and although we ordered from the restaurant week menu they were very generous with the portions they gave us. They didn't skimp on anything. Our waiter was great too. read more

- delicious grilled shrimp - good spaghetti - a lot more packed than i would expect on a weekday lunch - service could be better - Caesar salad was good and large enough for two people - bread was nice and soft not warm they gave olive oil, no vinegar, no butter - roasted potatoes are good - salmon is decent read more

Great happy hour and service. Minus one start as they have a menu posted online that was slightly different than in person (getting actual lunch options) and yes, the food is solid albeit it didn't blow me away. Would I return - certainly! Go support and enjoy. read more

The food was absolutely impeccable and came very quick. The salad didn't come out before the mains so the manager gave us gelato and orangcello shots on the house (which was so not necessary). The staff is so kind, the vibe is so cute, feels like a vintage warehouse, full of antique italian posters. Will definitely be coming back here - great experience! read more

Came to Botte for a friends birthday celebration and we had an amazing time! First off, the environment is amazing. The bar and restaurant are soo cute, perfect for pictures in the dim wood ambience. There's even a coal oven in the back you can watch! All the servers were extremely friendly, patient and made sure you had a good time. Not a single drink or dish disappointed us! Some personal favorites were the fig bruschetta appetizer, broccoli rabe pasta and the "not for sale" cocktail! read more

Botte Brooklyn - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The food was average at best. Pasta was overcooked, sauce was OK but nothing to write home about. Pizza crust, just OK. The service was horrendous, however. One waiter was working the entire floor, at least 20 tables. It was 15 minutes before he visited the table for the first time and another 15 to get my drink. Food came out fast once ordered, but similar to other comments, no offer of parmesan for the pasta, no offer for drink refills, no offer for dessert. The interior of the space was nice/pleasant, but a straight view into the working area of the kitchen was unappealing at some seats. Being just steps away from Carroll Gardens, there are much better options nearby. Botte is in desperate need of a good floor manager. It's a solid Meh. read more

This is a good solid Italian restaurant. The lasagna is great and is made like a "pasticcio" with bechamel rather than cheese.

Delicious Pizza ! Calamari taste so fresh. The service is quick. Staff are kind and polite, very friendly. Inside the restaurant is very beautiful! If you were nearby check it out. Thanks for the service! read more

We dined here on our first night in Brooklyn a few weeks ago. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was attentive and friendly from our server and the owner. Food was great. We ordered: Rigatoni All'Amatriciana Margherita Pizza The house bread and focaccia with olive oil was yummy too. Drinks: I had a glass of Red wine and hubby had an Old Fashioned. Dessert: We finished up with pistachio gelato (made in-house) and a cannoli, plus an Espresso Martini. All in all a very enjoyable meal. read more

I Just had dinner there and everything was amazing. I live in the neighborhood and we were so sad that the previous place closed, but now we are very happy with the new addition. I was in a group of 4 and everyone loved their dishes! I had the Vegan Funghi pizza and I never had a vegan cheese that tasted so good! Perfectly melted and the combination of the mushrooms with truffle was spectacular. Service was amazing too! After dinner we sat at the bar and the bartender made me the best negroni I ever had. 10/10! read more

I first passed this place walking to another restaurant. I saw a lock on the door so I thought it was closed. However, the next time I passed by there was still a lock on the door but people were inside. So I dived in for a late dinner. Location wise it is close to the b54 and Long Island university (same street side) and just a hop & a skip from Dekalb. I did a long walk there after visiting a friend I barely looked at the menu before entering and was guided to a table to sit by myself. There were bar seats that I could use but decided against it. They gave me a standard menu but also a list of specials they had. I had a Lambrusco. But the rest of my meal was the specials, the spaghetti allá pescatora and the scallops with asparagus, Brussels sprouts and aioli. The spaghetti was highly recommended by my waiter since it was on the normal menu and was brought back due to popular demand. The scallops were just because I want scallops. If it wasn't for the specials I would have tried the carbonara (they use guanciale) or the spaghetti vongole The meals was good. The scallops were tendered and the pasta had the right amount of light tomato sauce as promised by the waiter with good amounts of seafood. I would definitely come back especially for happy hour since it came highly recommended and the brunch as well! I didn't know they were a semi chain either. It is great to learn of another restaurant! read more

I'd say the score is closer to 3.5 but I rounded up to 4 because I would go back. Went on a Thursday night and was seated immediately which was nice. The waiter was energetic and welcoming, checking in on us multiple times throughout the meal. The suppli were not hot when we got them, definitely some cold spots toward the center but not bad flavor wise. The pasta did arrive at a good temperature and was not too salty and good enough to eat as a regular weeknight meal. Overall I'm happy this spot opened as an easy weeknight restaurant spot. read more

this restaurant is super conveniently located in downtown brooklyn and has a charming exterior that matches a fun and moody interior. the fare offers some italian staples that i was surprised to find outside of italy (and little italy, i suppose). i would highly recommend the supplì, which i found pretty authentic (i am a bit biased, but supplì are basically rome's improvement on arancini). my friend and i both got the orecchiette, which was good, although my sauce was a bit watery. read more

We went to this restaurant because it was walking distance from the hotel where we were staying. We went in not knowing exactly what to expect & were we AMAZED! We walked in & were immediately seated. Service was attentative. We had the truffle fries, fried calamari, ceasar salad, a pasta dish (forgot what it was called) & a calzone. Everything we ordered was fresh & delicious! I wish we had room for dessert. Next time I'm in the area, I will definitely go back to this restaurant! read more

Really did not enjoy my carbonara from here - it was actually inedible. When it arrived, the sauce had already congealed and all the noodles were clumped together. It totally lacked flavor and most of the 99% of the bacon was just pieces of fat. Would deff skip. read more

The vibes are cute & what you would expect for this location. The bolognese was tasty, but nothing extra special in my opinion.

After walking down the entire Brooklyn bridge, I worked up a major appetite, and wanted to try my very first New York Italian restaurant. Botte was the first I came across, and I think the angels of Brooklyn led me here! I walked in to such a smooth, welcoming and interesting environment. We were greeted and seated immediately. We lucked up and came during restaurant week, so got a 3 course meal for a great deal. I ordered a glass of pino to start. My appetizer was a Cesar salad that was oh so fresh! I demolished it because I needed calories after that work out. My entree was FETTUCCINE ALLA BOLOGNESE. Just thinking about it makes me hungry again! . I felt like I was actually eating in Italy! Our waiter, Ruben was super nice and very knowledgeable on the menu. I appreciated how the manager also came to the table to check on us, and made sure we were enjoying our experience. To say this was my first taste of Italian food in New York, it was well worth the wait. Oh, and before I end this, make sure you get the tiramisu for desert. I think I scarfed mine down in 2.6 seconds! Lol read more

I'll start with a positive- if only having the cocktails, I would give 4 stars. We stopped for restaurant week. My table had calamari which was ok but the salad and bruschetta was bland. Dinners included: 2 chicken dishes (one bone dry and one soggy) and the salmon. Salmon was ok. For dessert, we all had tiramisu. Basically lady fingers and whipped cream. Not good. Not really tiramisu. Service was fine. read more

What a fabulous Italian restaurant! Here's what we ordered: ~Just take the ferry- Hudson bourbon, Contratto bitter, amaro montenegro, martelletti sweet vermouth ~Not for sale- zaya reserva rum, Orange juice, agave, lemon, sparkling rose. A yummy, fruity cocktail! ~Grandmas meatballs-homemade beef meatballs with tomato sauce; You know we had to get that parmesan piled on!! ~Burrata with prosciutto de Parma-You can already tell I'm obsessed with burrata by now. I loved smearing it on the fresh bread ~NY strip medium rare with fries and garlic mushrooms; The steak was so juicy, had wonderful grill marks, and was cooked to perfection. Also, those were some of the best fries I have EVER had. ~Carbonera with shrimp-spaghetti pasta with guanciale, eggs, black pepper and pecorino; It was so rich and cheesy!! ~Cannoli ~Coccole con Nutella-one of the best desserts I've had! Bite-sized pieces of fried dough covered in chocolate, powdered sugar, and fresh strawberries; IT IS A MUST ORDER!! Thank you to Botte Brooklyn this extraordinary meal. I am still dreaming about that Nutella dessert! read more
