The Scene
The century-old dark wooden columns painted with quaint, folkloric designs summon a medieval, Alpine atmosphere. Wine is everywhere: Bottles line every available nook, chandeliers are fashioned from decanters, and service loves to make a show of priming glasses and grandly presenting the 50,000-bottle tome. The crowd of oenophiles, 5th Avenue shoppers, and European business types don't need prodding to drink it all in.
The Food
The love of wine overflows into the kitchen, as it pops up all over the menu, from a Chateaubriand with Rosso Di Montalcino sauce to an asparagus and egg salad tossed in red wine vinaigrette. The signature risotto cooked in Amaone is especially intoxicating, with the vintage lending a deep claret color and unique richness to grains. A top-quality balsamic vinegar, drizzled tableside on branzino as it is de-boned, adds vigor to the light fish. Need to sober up? Try the affogato, espresso poured over creamy vanilla gelato.

My daughter and I stumbled across this wonderful restaurant a year ago after too long of a wait at Sarabeth's for brunch. We were immediately impressed with the service. We also loved the all day panini menu and fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. We have been back many times since and have always had a great experience. I personally enjoy the lunch and brunch the best, but the dinner is good too.

The restaurants in New York must be spoiled or something because with just a little more effort they could make an average meal exceptional. Nice works, indifferent is repulsive. I thought the food and wine here was exceptional and so did my companion. It's a noisy tumultuous place and I knew that going in, but I'll say again that the service is where restaurants fall short. Try looking me in the eye and smiling.

Hi,i've been the first time at Bottega de vino about 4 mounths ago with my husband,that time i had a very good service and good dinner, our waiter was an italian guy,blue eyes,very kind, his name's mateo,he was just arrived from the same city where the original Bottega is, the city of Verona, and he told us he's proud to work in Bottega, he was an excellent waiter but this time he wasn't there,maybe it was his day off. The service wasn't the same, the italian guy had something extra, anyway we enjoied drinking a bottle of wine Mateo suggested us, th e amarone, from his city, Verona, the food was good from the antipasto to the gelato and espresso. Hoping the next time Mateo will be there. Amanda and Bill
