    Scoop of pistachio gelato
    Amanda J.

    Cute Italian restaurant with a welcoming vibe. I'd love to come back to try their full food menu. We stopped by just for dessert this time, and the service was on point. I ordered a scoop of the pistachio gelato. The flavor was really good, but it melted pretty quickly. Overall, a nice experience and I'd definitely return to try more.

    I love pasta so this place is enjoyable, overall. Cute little spot with variety of options. My husband and I ordered an appetizer, entrees, and gelato. A lot of food, an entree alone would've been enough. It's at the edge of Old Town Temecula with outdoor seating. Staff was friendly and patient. Calamari and Bruschetta were so good and the gelato was excellent. Seafood pasta and Sangria were ok, carbonara was a bit bland for my taste. Would recommend if you're craving Italian food in Temecula.

    Tiramisu and Coffeeeee!

    Super busy Friday night! Just popped in with my family who's in front out of town. We just grabbed some coffee and desserts. This was a "walk up to the barista" night. We did not dine in. The barista was super nice especially with a line behind us! Also, I noticed the barista washing her hands in between making drinks or when she just needed to during her process. Just a big THANK YOU!! It goes a long way especially when people are immune compromised.

    Saturday dinner with family, we decided on a nice Italian restaurant in downtown Temecula. Inside and outside seat available, wait staff a pleasure to work with. The meals were all prepared extremely well and everything tasted great. Our dinner guest were vegan, so we tried some meals that we normally would not have tried, and I was so impressed with the Rollatine Alla Mirella (eggplant dish) and the Linguine Al Frutti Di Mare (seafood and red sauce). There is a nice drink selection and plenty of gelato and Illy coffee to finish the meal. A definite night out if you are in the area. Well done!

    We passed by and found the pizza selections interesting so we decided to have dinner here. Service is excellent, very attentive and pleasant. Feel chill, relax and enjoyable while we were here. Food is great. Wine is great. Desserts are excellent.

    My husband and I have been wanting to try this place but they're always packed and closed on Mondays. We finally got a chance to make a reservation on a rainy Thursday night. We were greeted by a nice young lady who sat us right away. The place was small and cozy, seemed over-staffed for a seemingly slow night. We ordered the chicken wings (nothing special), Arancini al Nero (rice balls stuffed with calamari in squid ink sauce) pretty good but better served warm; for entrees my husband got the Carbonara with pancetta (good, peppery and not too saucy) and I got the "meat of the day" for a market price of $43. Filet medallions (2 thin steaks) with sides of vegetables-potatoes, cauliflower, etc. the menu should've said "mixed vegetables with a side of filet. I have tried better tasting filets for a lesser price. Worse thing of all, it wasn't warm and when the server checked up on us I mentioned that it's not warm. She offered to warm it up. I ordered it medium rare so if she did, it will be medium??? Had she brought it up to her manager, I'm sure they would've done a better alternative. Chardonnay was alright, local from La Paz and you can't go wrong with Peroni. They offer $1 off drinks and appetizers during happy hour. Overall, I think this place is so-so. We've had better Italian restaurant experiences. Not planning to visit anytime soon.

    My wife wanted to try something different for Valentine's Day, and Bottega Italia did not disappoint. Food was delicious, Beef Wellington and Lobster, Linguini Ai Fritti di Mare ( I call it Cioppino) , Calamari, and their Butcher Pizza (cooked in old school pizza oven) were excellent! Service was great, thank you Mark for making my family's lunch special. Clean and well organized place, indoor and outdoor dining option. More relax and friendlier environment than Gourmet Italia. Drinks were good as well, we had the Mimosa Flight, Bloody Mary, and Espresso Martini. Their Gelato was a plus, a must have after lunch or dinner. Can't wait to go back and try the other dishes!

    A pretty good Italian restaurant in Old Town. The service is friendly and they have lots of seating outside as well. I got the Seafood Pasta and it was a good portion with a good mixture of squid, shrimp and mussels. The atmosphere is comforting and lively. They also make their own olive oils and wines too which is pretty cool. Overall a solid pick in Old Town Temecula and would visit again!

    Wagyu pasta n calzone w italian salami
    Stef B.

    got the wagyu pasta my bf got the calzone w the italian salami. The pasta was so yummy but resembled more of a pot roast texture than steak, however the flavor unique and i was happy w the taste. My bf loved his calzone the dough was good and the flavors were authentic and delicious. had the appetizer of fried seafood. The calamari & shrimp were so good but the little fish in the assortment were a lil funky. The waiter was very kind and answered all of our questions. The ambiance was very chill and clean. 10/10!!!!!

    From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, welcoming, and authentically Italian. You can tell they really care about the experience, not just the food. We sat outside on the patio- with the heaters, it was perfectly comfortable. Everything we had was delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces tasted homemade, and don't even get me started on dessert & coffee... SO good. Our waiter Zach was just as amazing as the food. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind without being over the top. It made the whole meal feel relaxed and special.

    The drinks are delicious, Tony the bartender knows all about every drinks and what taste good and what pairs with your food. He is very social and you can tell he loves his job. We really enjoyed our time here!

    Bottle of our choice cork fee $20

    A gem in temecula, cant wait to come back for dessert or date night. We tried it as a family, party of 5. There was something available for everyone, they really enjoyed the red orange sodas. The pasta was very authentic, from the Alfredo, spaghetti to the seafood combo (cant remember the name) we paid for the cork fee and brought our bottle, the service from our waiter was amazing (so bummed I can't remember his name, will update next time I go) and their Gelato flight was soooo good! Definitely recommend this place, but please beware is not a cheap date, but well worth it.

    See all
