I ordered Uber Eats from La Bottega today. My order was for a panini and soup and was approx. $30 without delivery fee/tip. I am very disappointed by the food that came. It was packaged well but was poor quality and the taste was horrible. 1) Split Pea Soup - it was like thin green water and tasted more like celery than split pea soup. I would not recommend at all. 2) Bistecca Panini - It was literally think steak, tough and parts chewy on bred with a few onions and a piece of cheese. Dry and poor quality. I would advise going to Subway or Jersey Mikes before getting disappointed with this horrible overpriced food. read more

La Bottega - My order receipt listing the disappointing food. - Italian Near Me - Syosset, New York

Working close by we ordered from here often. Not necessarily a bad spot, I've had many La Bottegas before but sometimes at this location (I don't wanna hold it against them) the food takes way too long to prepare. Whether it's a pickup or delivery it often takes a long time. Then the food gets a little too cold. Now granted la Bottega does serve up some fresh good food at times, but I dislike how if you order a sandwich there is nothing that comes on the side. Usually their steak sandwiches or paninis go for about $13-14 and you can't even get chips with that? I wish la Bottega would switch up their menu a little bit and maybe include a small side salad to go with the sandwich. I'm all about paying for food without complaining about the price, but at times it's gotta make sense for the person to want to eat here. Ehh it's something I can live without. read more

La Bottega - Italian Near Me - Syosset, New York

I have been coming to LaBottega for probably a year now. I started off with the salads. My fav was the chicken avocado and I would request romaine lettuce to get greens instead of iceberg which is good for a crunch if mixed. I ventured out to the entrees and had the Syosset a la vodka w chicken. That was good but the sauce is a little too sweet. Since I started eating healthier & lowering carb intake, I order the entrees w meat n veg instead of pasta. I tried the chicken Marsala, pollo pomorodini,Pollo Mozzarella w mushrooms, and salmone con vino Bianco. The meat/fish are always cooked fresh and are served w wine/lemon/butter sauce which makes the meat juicy and flavorful. The mushrooms are soo good, well seasoned and I also had broccoli, broc rabe, couliflower, tomatoes in the dishes as well. Both of my co workers come here, one gets the salads n paninis and the other gets the soup which is all natural (no can). They now have a new menu - higher prices more variety but def quality n authentic (Approved by my Yelp buddy Jason C) Enjoy Italiano :-p #yelpislife read more

See all

Great pannini's and salads. Try the chicken, broccoli raab and fresh mozzerella - you can't miss. The fresh olive oil on the small tables is good. The atmosphere here is better than the bigger places. Very small, popular and cool. Friendly people. *Note Huntington is not as hospitable.. they will not leave the olive oil, it's on request. Let's assume the landlord is price gauging them for a village location but it's a weird vibe. Syosset is completely different... Try the small quaint happening Syosset La Botega. read more

I have eaten here in the past and could have swore I left a review, much to its' credit. I cannot tell you how satisfied I was with this spot and how much I cannot wait to go back. Get anything and leave happy. read more

food is great service is great all around great place its a must go if your visiting or in li for the day try the avocado salad trust me!!!

was very surprised to find out after ordering my food over the phone and went to go pick it up that they charged me a fee to use my credit card!!! unbelievable!!!! they should be happy people are willing to spend their money at their establishment!!!! read more

We "used" to order here for work. Delivery was usually longer then usual, but you expect that sometimes during lunch times. Our last order, the guy on the phone said 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes...which I wasn't to excited about...but it was lunch time so I figureed they would get here at some point. 1 hour and 15 mins passed and I called to check on the order, the guy on the phone rudely said well I told you an hour and 15 minutes then hung up on me. We ordered at 12:30pm the food didnt arrive until 2:00pm...the place is a 5 minute drive away!!! Not to mention the food was cold when it arrived. The delivery guy did apoligise ALOT though. Scratch this one off the list for lunch at work. read more

Stopped in for quick takeout lunch. Got the peperoni Panini - chicken cutlets are awesome, fresh mozzarella, & red peppers on ciabatta (the best part) read more

DO NOT BE FOOLED. I have been coming here for years and always loved it. I ordered a salad to go and when I got home and opened the salad A ROACH JUMPED OUT. Yes... a roach. I called them up and told them and they asked me to bring back to salad with the roach in it in order to get refunded. Do not eat here. read more

Placed a large take-out order for our family. Two "Staggione" salads came with lettuce that was brown and soggy. Mozzarella sticks ($12.50) came undercooked and cold. Pasta with butter served with a chunk of butter (not melted). We had gone into restaurant to voice concerns to Lou, the owner. Lou curtly dismissed our concerns stating that "Arrow Produce" always provides him with the freshest produce. Awful food and even worse customer service experience. read more

I ordered a romana con gamberoni salad from here and the "fresh mozz" was DISGUSTING, DRY and CHEWY, everything about this salad was horrible and it's my favorite salad every time I go to La Bottega. This La Bottega gives the franchise a bad name. GROSS GROSS GROSS will NEVER order from here again. read more

Food is delicious...that being said, the customer service and wait staff are extremely rude! I work close by and they are rude on the phone, take very long (are late) most times to deliver. Panini was dry and charged extra for dressing. If you call ahead to place an order- it MUST be for take out only. (Not sit down). Not accommodating at all. I was told to "sit and eat on their bench" inside, given an attitude when asked for a second fork. I will be giving my business to Iavarone Brothers instead. I was told to contact Lou, the owner. read more

I always come here for the avocado salad but their paninis are just as bomb as the salad. They cater to what you want even if you add or remove certain things from your meal. read more

3.5 no frills salad place. Their sandwiches can be a bit tough but still "healthy" and delicious. However, their salads are so so fresh. You can substitute your leaves for other kinds of leaves (i.e. We swapped our romaine lettuce with arugula) the avocado was perfect but the cheese kind of made the salad look "cheap" (if that even makes sense) the steak sandwich was flavorful and the grilled chicken in the salad was juicy and great! The portion of the salad can probably feed about 3 people. Great lunch place in town. read more

If I could give this place no stars I would. My coworkers and I all ordered food from here. All of us got sick right away. Most of the staff had to go home. We ordered the grilled chicken avocado salad a cheeseburger and eggplant bruschetta. Let me put it this way, we only have one restroom and that was not enough. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!!!!! The "manager" had no remorse which made me more mad. I repeat do not order from here. read more

I eat here at least a few times a week. I didn't grow-up coming here and I have no affiliations with anyone there - the food is simply great. It's always consistent (I've never had a bad meal there) and the menu is so expansive that it could take you a year to order the same thing twice. The service is always on point (shout-out to Pete) and the atmosphere is that of a simple sit-down Italian restaurant. It's the perfect place for a quick and delicious dinner. read more

Used to really like this place but I am not sure what happened with the staff or if they sold the place. On the last two occasions the guy on the phone was rude and the whenI tried to have it deliverd I was told it would be over an hour. I said I would pick it up and he said fine and hung up. They don't say thank you and generally some like they are annoyed. Won't be giving them my business anymore read more

La Bottega, Syosset location Very disappointed. I've been there many times without my children and loved the place. Went there once with my stroller and two kids under the age of 2 and received a chilly reception. I was told they don't allow strollers in the restaurant. I won't be going there again, good food or not. By the way there were no signs about the strollers posted. Just plain rude and not very good business since there are plenty of moms that would like to go out for lunch with their children. read more

This place is great! reffered by my best friend who is absolutly addicted to they're panninis. I wanted to try something easy at first so I got the avocado salad with grilled chicken, corn, mushrooms and red peppers topped off with balsamic vinigerette. I have to say that was the best salad i ever had! Everything was fresh and the dressing was amazing (not like one from a super market). I refurred this place to my aunt who was throwing my cousin her bridal shower and got nothing but thumbs up from everyone there :) It was the perfect party food! She ordered for apps; rice balls, fried zuccini and bruchetta. For dinner we had; assorted panninis, penne a la vodka, salad (with that awesome dressing) and "the charlie special" (chicken cutlet in this cream sauce with spinich and mozzarella cheese). All and all this place is great for catering :) read more

I unfortunately had a horrible experience with the management of La Bottega and will never return to any of their locations. My credit card was mistakenly charged twice for lunch and after two weeks, no one has returned my calls as promised to address and resolve the issue. I am still in shock not only because I have not been reimbursed after this error, but because of the lack of concern for their customers. There are plenty of other decent Italian-American lunch spots to support which are run by people who care about their customers. read more

Great food, very nice staff. We will be back. Get the Penni al vodka and the cream of mushroom soup.

amazing!!! Love the Hogans and the prego!!!! Owner's are the nicest people ever and I love the atmosphere! It's a shame to see that some people didn't agree. Well, after reading "some people's" reviews I've noticed that for some reason "some people" still think it's 1950 and lunch should be like 5 bucks. Take that attitude to Subway and get yourself a footlong if you don't feel like having a substantial and delicious italian meal! The salads are phenomenal and totally worth every penny! read more

They have the best salads and paninis. I really love being able to order really quickly and then just jump in and pick up my order. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly when I walk in. They even know my schedule, as I babysit in town every week and they ask how the kids are doing and how I am. Food quality is great, and the ambiance is nice as well! read more

I stopped in with a friend as an alternative to Penara (i.e. Just looking for soup and a sandwich), glad I did. Their panini's are excellent. Good verity and interesting combos. Service wasn't bad but wasn't great either. Definitely worth trying. read more

One of the best restaurants I ever been to. I am a regular customer, food is always fresh and on point! I recommend this place to all my friends due to the variety of options and also healthy options. Trust me you will not be disappointed!! Great and friendly staff, I love this place. read more

food is very consistent, often go to the one in howard beach. friendly staff, food comes out quickly and the panini's are delicious. Also the bread is excellent!!!! read more

Avocado salad is yummy ESP when you use mixed greens instead of iceberg. Staff always nice. Take out orders usually take a bit longer than they tell you over the phone but their delivery is actually pretty quick. read more

If I could give this place a million stars, I absolutely would. I've had some friends tell me I had to try this place, but it took me longer than it should've as it's not that close to me and I'm not a big sandwich guy. But WOW! I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is easily the best Panini I've had in ages. Service was fast and friendly, which definitely matters too. read more

great lunch spot..the pannini's are a generous size and can be shared as well.
