🍝 Lasagna, Pomodoro and Octopus

Bottega is a welcoming Upper East Side Italian restaurant at 1331 2nd Avenue, where soups, sauces and dressings are made from scratch every day. Fresh pasta anchors the menu, and diners keep returning for the lasagna and the pomodoro, the two plates regulars praise most.

Open with the tender octopus appetizer, then work through the Italian classics. Ask about the daily specials before ordering, and finish with tartufo or classic tiramisu. An exceptional wine list carries the pairing, from a glass at lunch to a bottle at dinner.

The stylish dining room and attentive service have built a loyal base of neighborhood regulars, and the patio adds an outdoor table on a mild day. Private events and catering are available too. Bottega is open daily from half past eleven in the morning to 10 PM.
