Charming

Located in Hawthorne"s historic Degray house, Bottagra Restaurant opened its doors in early 2008. What was once used as an encampment for General Lafayette's troops during the Revolutionary War has been transformed into a modern, elegant restaurant with the feel and charm of a Tuscan villa. Chef-Owners Robert Vicari and Carlo Carbonaro have fused their extensive restaurant experience together to offer a variety of dishes hailing from both the northern and southern regions of Italy. Offering a full bar and extensive wine list, as well as private rooms, Bottagra
is a diners' dream for gatherings both large and small.

Me and my boyfriend went to celebrate our anniversary and had one of the best services. The waiter was so kind and patient and constantly making sure we were okay. One of the best places to go to for your birthday, anniversary, etc. They do events and so much more! Inside was beautiful especially with the holiday decor. I would 1000% go back again. Food was also extremely amazing.

We waited over half an hour to be seated even though we had reservations and arrived on-time. When we were finally seated, it took a while for the server to show up. I ordered a vodka and cranberry. What was delivered by the bar waitress was certainly not what I ordered. I told her that and she said she would correct it. Instead, she brought back the same incorrect drink. My server had to correct the mistake. Despite the initial problems, our dinner was excellent. Our server did his best as I could tell he was handling more tables than usual.
