Coming from an Italian family, I can be pretty picky about Italian food and the basics they serve like their red sauces. First thing I noticed was that they had a really great red sauce here! I ordered the Orecchiette Con Salsiccia, and for how simple of a dish it is...it was delicious. The sausage was super high quality and the garlic sauce was so flavorful! The food also came out super quickly which was a great bonus. I'm also not necessarily a fan of ordering dessert at a restaurant because often times it's frozen or something, but when I found out they make their desserts in house I was hooked. We tried their chocolate cake and it was very yummy! I loved the warm sauce and the fruit slices on the side. This is clearly a very well loved locals spot that has been here as long as it has for a good reason. This is a no-frills, good food and great people type of restaurant. So far my favorite place to have dinner in downtown Calistoga!

BIRTHDAY DINNER AFTER TWO WINE TASTING…read more One week ago last Saturday night after the second winery my sister, her husband, and my relatives came here for dinner to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived our party was 30 minutes late. On a Saturday night I was concerned if we were going to get a table. Fortunately the receptionist was able to find a table for our party around 6.:00 PM, but he stated we would have to be out by 8:00 PM. I looked at the menu. Since I was going to a steakhouse in Las Vegas in late September I decided not to order steak. For the entree I decided between the branzino or beef short rib. While I am at Vegas I will be going to an Italian restaurant where they serve branzino. So I decided to go with the beef short rib at Bottega. I asked the server what pasta would go well with the beef short rib. He suggested the Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren. I'll be honest I thought after seeing pictures of the spaghetti the Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren would be bigger. The portion was smaller than I anticipated. If the portion is small the flavor better stand out. The spaghetti was al dente. What I liked about the Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren was the cherry tomatoes as they were sweet not tarty as tomatoes can be. Even though the portion of the Spaghetti alla Sophia Loren was small I wasn't full for my main course. Next was the main entrée the beef short rib. I really enjoyed this dish. The beef short rib was moist, but not too rich that I felt bloated. What also cuts the richness of the short beef rib is the polenta. Out of the two dishes I ordered the short beef rib was tastier. I was too full to order dessert even though some of the items were enticing. However I got a complimentary dessert for my birthday. Overall I fun enjoyable with my family for dinner at Bottega.

We were a table of three and ordered three appetizers and three entrées. Unfortunately, our server forgot to put in one of our appetizers, which we had been patiently waiting for. By the time we realized what had happened, it actually ended up working out because we probably ordered a little too much food to begin with. Aside from that, I would say the service was pretty standard. For my entrée, I ordered the braised short ribs and substituted the polenta for potatoes, and they were absolutely delicious. The short ribs were incredibly tender and easily fell off the bone. The potatoes were a great substitution and paired really well with the dish. This was definitely the highlight of the meal for me. At the end of dinner, they surprised me with a complimentary birthday plate with an assortment of small desserts and fresh berries, a candle, and "Buon Compleanno" written in chocolate. It was beautifully presented and a really thoughtful touch that made celebrating my birthday there feel a little more special. Overall, it was a nice birthday dinner. Nothing was particularly out of the ordinary, but I really enjoyed the romantic atmosphere, my short ribs were delicious, and I appreciated the birthday dessert plate at the end. The ambiance is definitely what stood out most to me and made the evening feel special.

This time we ordered the 10 Layer Lasagna with the Domenica's sauce and one with Richard's meat sauce. This is still the best lasagna I have ever ate. Love the ricotta, the goat cheese, parmesan and herbs. It just doesn't get any better than this. The Domenica's sauce stole the show though. This sauce is magic! Along with our meal, we paired a 2023 Pastori Old Vine Zinfandel. It absolutely complimented this meal. For dessert we went with the Passion Fruit Sorbet with blackberries. So refreshing and closed out our delightful lunch. I cannot recommend this place enough. Service is always top notch, food is out of this world delicious with so many homemade choices to choose from.

On my most recent trip we opted to also try the steak and it was cooked to perfection and had a delicious, rich butter sauce along with crispy pommés frites.

He was attentive and anticipated every need. We also were seated outside and enjoyed the beautiful patio. The ambiance is lovely though I imagine a bit hot if we had visited earlier in the day. On this day we had a beautiful warm autumn evening so we were perfectly comfortable. We look forward to our next visit and highly recommend to anyone visiting Healdsburg as it's a short drive but well worth the ride/drive north.

Sounds simple, but Cook somehow takes a few basic ingredients and makes a sandwich you're going to crave again. And the bacon? It was so thick it practically needed its own plate. I love this place.
