La Botticella In Pavia

The pizzas and fried foods were very good. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was overall pleasant. The only major negative was the rather expensive bill for four pizzas and three mixed fried foods.

Really, really good pizza Excellent service Great location

An elegant place, but also suitable for more casual gatherings. Excellent service and equally delicious food. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

The pizzas are good, though a bit pricey. However, there's a great variety, and each one recommends a beer to pair with your pizza. The atmosphere outside is pleasant, but inside it can get very noisy, which might be a bit bothersome.

Average. Pizza was nothing special. Prices were way overpriced for what they offer. The decor wasn't the best in my opinion.

The pizzeria is in a very central area of ​​the city, within a restricted traffic zone. The pizza is very good, with quality ingredients and the option to try an excellent gluten-free pizza. The staff is very kind and prompt; they expect us to be punctual, as is right. The interior is intimate, and I found the music too loud. We will definitely be back, but I highly recommend making a reservation.

Probably the best pizza in Pavia. In my opinion, it's only rivaled by one other place, but Botticella definitely has the variety and quality of its seasonal pizza toppings to its advantage. These seasonal pizzas are very different from traditional ones, but they never make you forget you're eating a fabulous pizza. I particularly recommend the autumn red prawn and the yellow amatriciana. BUT, I'm not giving it five stars for the table layout in the restaurant's interior, where, instead of dining at a table for two, it feels like you're sitting at a large table with all the other couples. I certainly wouldn't return if it were an evening where something private and important had to be discussed. It felt like I was choosing trips to book with the people to our right and participating in every office gossip of the people to our left. It also made me struggle even just to go to the bathroom, having to squeeze between the two tables to get up and sit down, almost leaning on the pizzas of those sitting next to me. Perhaps one less table and a little more privacy wouldn't hurt.

The gluten-free pizza was amazing!!! One of the best gluten-free pizzas I've ever had.

Excellent pizzas, both for the dough and the toppings. The gluten-free pizza, always made in-house, is particularly popular. Highly recommended!

The pizza is good (if you like Neapolitan style), but the organization leaves much to be desired. Service times are slow, they accept takeout orders that pile up with orders from the dining room, there doesn't seem to be a head waiter, and there are probably not enough waiters (and anyway, they're all very young and probably not very experienced, despite their good intentions). By significantly improving the service and making the atmosphere a little more welcoming, an excellent Neapolitan pizza could be paired with a pleasant experience. Good work! Pizza is good! Service isn't efficient, and the overall experience isn't really relaxing/pleasant, unfortunately. A promising place, though: with some work, it can really improve quite a lot! It's not nice to see that they accept takeout orders when people are waiting at the tables—encouraging throughput isn't always good for customers.
