The Scene – Inconspicuous Bottino is an ideal stop for a light lunch or full dinner while gallery-hopping through Chelsea. The space is clean and airy, with dark wood floors, whitewashed brick and a partially open kitchen. A small mahogany bar and cocktail tables sit near the entrance, while a tranquil, ivy-festooned garden waits out back. Service can vary from competent to distracted. – – The Food – While the rustic Italian menu offers few epiphanies, it's hearty, well-executed and generally satisfying. Straightforward appetizers like grilled eggplant, an antipasto…

Bad experience with manager
by EatsOut
The restaurant is very crowded. After others at the table and I were bumped by staff several times, the waiter hit me hard in the head with a tray. While I'm sure it was an accident, when I complained, the manager came over and proceeded to explain that it happened because "you turned your head when he walked by." She was not at all apologetic and made it appear as though it were my fault. I would not return to this restaurant. I do not hold the waiter responsible, but the manager should have better customer skills than to imply it was my fault I was hit in the head!
- Pros: Food was OK
- Cons: Nasty manager

not going here ever again
by KatblueNYC
I've been here several times in the past and had nice group dinners in the back room, however my fiance and I went with friends last week for a light bite and had embarrassingly bad service. The waiter sighed dramatically and rolled his eyes at our friends when they declined wine, and disappeared completely when the only ordered salads. When my fiance absently said he like full bodied French reds, the guy hissed that this was an Italian restaurant and they only had Italian. He never came back. Take a break Zoolander! The hostess and busboy served us our meals and checked on us again later, but my lamb ragu was bland and watery, and I couldn't get the bad taste our first waiter had left out of my mouth. Don't waste your money on a half-full restaurant pretending to be something it is clearly not. Next!
- Pros: ok food
- Cons: our server was so rude
