La Bottega is a long time favorite for our family. We make sure to eat here every time we visit Vail and everything we order is delicious! From classics like a carbonara and pepperoni pizza to more specialty plates like rabbit or muscles, they have it all! We had a wonderful Apres meal today after skiing.

The food was great. It was a half an hour before we were seated and we got off to a slower start. Once the order was placed, however the service picked up and everything was really delicious.
