Yes because, the Bottega is that place where the art of taste and magic meet, where every bite is a journey through genuine flavors and tradition.
I want to be honest with you: I am biased in writing these words.
And I am, simply because I have been in love with this place for several years.
Precisely, since that night 7 years ago now, when I was still a high school student, during a stormy Wednesday night, it was the only place open where I could drink a beer and stay warm with my friends, in the midst of that atmosphere that I can not forget.
Since then I have been biased and I couldn't help but tell as many people as possible about it.
Even today, after all these years and the many (positive) evolutions of the Bottega dell'Artista, it is the first restaurant I recommend when the question is asked.
But what actually is the Artist's Workshop and why shouldn't you wait for an opportunity to bring someone special there, but should go there as soon as possible?
Well…
This culinary jewel is hidden in a historic village (Castelforte) where the stone alleys tell ancient stories and traditions.
It is a place where time seems to stop, where the intimate and enchanting atmosphere creates the perfect setting for unforgettable evenings.
And I believe that there is no more ideal place for those who seek to make you fall in love, to amaze, to leave an indelible impression.
La Bottega, with its warm and welcoming atmosphere, is an embrace of flavors and traditions.
Every detail, from the small mezzanines, from the soft lights to the corners with books, speaks of the care and attention that Beny, the owner, has dedicated to this place.
With a hand that blends the past and the present, Beny has created an environment where every meal becomes a work of art.
Here, local products are the real protagonists.
And this is demonstrated by the fact that those who live here can punctually meet Beny in the local markets, intent on personally choosing each ingredient that will be transformed into dishes that tell of Castelforte and its traditions.
This is a cuisine that expertly combines tradition with innovation, where each dish is a surprise for the palate, a memory for the heart.
La Bottega is not just a restaurant, it's a journey.
It is a return to the roots, an embrace of the earth and its fruits.
And what you eat is also part of that atmosphere you breathe.
Yes, because it is a place where food is not just nourishment, but an expression of art, passion and history.
Not to mention that the careful selection of wines, chosen by Beny, is a journey in itself, a journey through the best local and non-local vineyards... an experience that enriches every meal thanks to the intelligent advice of the owner (he has always taken me ).
Today, the Bottega is the culmination of a journey that has gone through different phases: from pub to bistro, until becoming what it is today…
A modern tavern with a refined and never banal vision of catering.
Despite challenges such as the pandemic, the Bottega has resisted, thanks to its passion and its connection with the land.
Furthermore, the Bottega's cuisine is a perfect example of how quality does not necessarily have to be synonymous with expensive.
On the contrary. On the contrary... Excellent quality is combined with extremely accessible prices.
It is a place where the "slow dinner" becomes a moment to savor, to live the experience to the full, to chat with your family, your friends, your partner...
Without haste, as if I were in a bubble and the world out there, the problems, ceased to exist.
But I don't want to go on any longer, because too many words wouldn't be useful: you have to try...
And I'm telling you: if you really want to amaze the right person, I'll tell you, it will be an unforgettable evening.
And you will discover that sometimes a dinner is enough to fall in love again, or to find each other again.
Thank you very much Beny for what you do!
