Hostaria La Botticella In Roma

Not bad but I’m sorry I don’t like the taste. Crowded and you have to wait for suitable table.

Perfect for a wine or beer after a long day in the city. Very centrally located, next to Piazza Navona. The waiters are very friendly and the atmosphere is great.

First I need to say this restaurant is no longer the La Botticella it was when I dined there in 2019. Pre-pandemic this restaurant was owned by two sisters and was hands down the best meal we ate in all of Italy. So if that is the place you are looking for this is not it anymore. Although the name has not changed on Google it is now different in person, it's called Il Botticelli. I visited Rome again a few months ago and came back in hopes of the same experience that I had years prior (Even though I was unsure because Google had this location marked as permanently closed for quite some time). I will say the food was good this time, it was just a different menu and prices were much higher. Although that can be said for everywhere these days. The menu was smaller and there were certain items that I remember having that were no longer on the menu. There was definitely a change in ownership. I had the carbonara which I thought was delicious. I remember when we dined here years ago we had overflowing carafes of house wine that were never empty and extremely cheap, food came out as it was ready basically family style (we were a large group of 10), they sent out limoncello and amaro at the end. And our bill was like 200€ total. One sister ran the front of house and the other was in the kitchen. It was crowded, a bit warm, hectic, but felt like were in an Italian home with family. I leave three stars because I think it's misleading to keep the name on Google with the old reviews and I was disappointed in the wine selection and prices, as well as the more limited menu. I have no complaints about the service but it was not as inviting as it used to be. I still would recommend it if you're in the area, I just had been searching for so long trying to find out if it was the same restaurant or not that I wanted to leave this review. So if there's anybody else out there trying to find out the same, now you know.

the food was so good and the campari..... Loved that so much

What a wonderful dinner we had at la botticella. The staff was very attentive, friendly and explained things to us tourists in a solid English. We had lasagna and cacio è pepe and both of those dishes were extraordinary. A very creamy and light pana cotta for dessert finalised an evening with lots of laughter and good conversation.

This restaurant was really a pleasant surprise! We were lucky to acquire a table for 4 outside (small terrace in front of the restaurant of 4-5 tables), which was extremely cosy. Great food all made by the lady owning the place, who also came checking whether we enjoyed the meal! If you are in trastevere, make sure to check this one out.

Small restaurant, average food and a bit expensive (they even charge for the tap water they offer you). If you pay in cash they avoid giving you the bill.

Good restaurant, but it seemed a bit overpriced for simple dishes, but overall everything was delicious and atmospheric

On a quiet and unusual little street. Friendly service and quality homemade cuisine at very reasonable prices. I recommend it.
