La Bottega is a cozy little Italian cuisine restaurant located in Vail. Here you can enjoy many great dishes. For those lovers of Italian cuisine, getting the spices just right for everybody is quite the feat. We heard some people say their dish lacked some of the kick they were hoping for, but this is also the type of place where people can find and fall in love with one particular menu selection. Indeed, at the end of the day, it’s the food at La Bottega that keeps bringing people back again and again. Well, that and their exquisite wine list that has many options, though many are rather expensive. But if you’re looking to get a great vintage glass of wine with your pasta, then this is the place to go.
What They’re Known for: If you’re looking for classic, perfectly-prepared Italian cuisine in Vail, then you’ll be interested in La Bottega.
What to Watch for: A lack of efficient, expedited service. This is a great place to kick back and eat a full Italian meal after you’ve dropped off your gear, but don’t count on prompt attention every time or every step of your meal. Think of it this way, too: Any wait you experience is likely to be the result of a restaurant that wants every dish to be perfect, rather than neglectful service.
