What People Are Saying About Bottino

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 plate and a tomato and arugula salad with shaved pecorino are standouts. Main courses like roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and haricot verts, spaghetti with clams and a gutsy penne with speck also hit the mark.

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!

I never get what I order. When I recieved order and realised I didn't get what I wanted they simply said 'well next time don't order from us'. I can not understand their rudeness.
