Cafe side is civilized and lovely. Service is sincere and attentive. Food is fabulous. And honestly for the price, you cannot go wrong. Loved the flat iron steak mid-rare. Perfectly sized and cooked.

Simply one of the finest restaurants in Bham many would say the country . The menu changes daily so ask your server what they recommend. Their menu is a wonderful combination of Southern&Mediterranean

Fantastic food and service. Menu changes frequently with availability of fresh ingredients . You literally cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Enjoy!

The Parmesan Soufflé was amazing. Had Braised Short Ribs that were so very tender and flavorful. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Atmosphere was A++.

A beautiful restaurant in Birmingham also serving great food. There is a cafe side and also a fine dining side to this restaurant . The menu is fabulous no matter which side you choose!

The upscale Italian restaurant has a sister café featuring wood-fired pizzas . We recommend the white pies , with a flavorful, meaty topping.

Phenomenal food here. I had the mushroom agnolotti which was outstanding. Leave room for dessert . Also has a great happy hour at 9-10pm each night on the Cafe side .

Solid option for a splurge in the Birmingham area. Excellent cocktails & seafood .

Chicken scaloppine is delicious and the orange drink was just as ???? yummy!!

Beautiful atmosphere and the food is amazing every time I go there. It is one of my top spots to have a top notch experience.

Beautiful surroundings and impeccable service , but get there early if you want to dine on pizza and gourmet burgers for lunch outside. It can be tough to get a table. Read more

Beyond delicious. The wild sea bass was perfectly seared and the James Dean salad was extra fresh.

The parmesan souffle very nice, the tuna also very good if you like hot flavours!

The chicken scallopini is FABULOUS as is the seven layer coconut cake !

Niçoise salad and Chicken scaloppine with crisp breadcrumbs and capers are a must try

Buy one of the cookbooks for a real sense of Chef Stitts style. They are beautiful an inspiring .

Orange thing is a must. Beef carpaccio is amazing

The octopus is awesome and the sea bass is unbelievably delicious!

Great place for a party and great drinks and food

Everything!!! I'm having trouble deciding

Tomato salad was fabulous. Cheese souffle must be experienced.

The coconut pecan cake was to die for! I can't wait to go back!

The atmosphere & of course the food!

Parmesan soufflé is a must. The Parpadelle (forgive my spelling) is wonderful as well .

Gotta have an Orange Thing first. Everything’s great.

Try the roasted peppers . You can thank me later.

Save room for dessert . Doll's coconut cake & a shot of espresso

Go to Bottega Cafe for Lunch . Ask for a plate of Olives - not on the menu , but a can't miss. Order the Chicken Paillard for your main course. Read more

Go to the Cafe side (says Pars)

The fried oyster piadine is amazing!

Best (chocolate ) Tiramisu in the world here.

Grapefruit Gimlet is delicious!

Best focaccia bread ever; great nicose salad

Ask what the cake of the day is! Not always on the menu

The chicken scaloppine is the most ridiculously good dish you will ever taste I promise.

Parmesan soufflé !!

Try the grilled chicken pesto pizza .

Coconut Pecan Cake #AMust

Try the Chicken Pesto pizza .

Risotto with root vegetables

Tuscan egg salad and fritto misto are A+

Trigger fish was awesome.

Wonderful setting

Love the Cubano !

The cafe side has a much more lively (and, in my opinion, more fun) atmosphere than the restaurant side, and the food is every bit as good.

Go to the cafe , not the restaurant . It's delicious. And if you like tea , get the iced tea with mint honey in it. (as told to me, not my personal recommendation)

Fritto Misto is always a winner
