Business Description from the Web

Nobody slips into La Botte unnoticed or unannounced. As you skip down the three or four steps to the entrance, Stefano de Lorenzo, one of the owners, will be spreading the door wide, leaning outside to shout, "Buona sera, signori" and as you step inside, a chorus of "buona sera, buona sera, signori" comes from the assembled hostesses, waiters -- from the sound of it, the entire restaurant.

Editorial Reviews from the web

Restaurateurs behind Venice's Piccolo head slightly inland to launch this stately Promenade-adjacent eatery.

In Short Elegance reigns in the sunken dining room, where subdued lighting and light cream walls complement various hues of wood reincarnated from wine barrels. Black-clad, erudite waiters fawn over the deep-pocketed, dinner-jacket crowd. The menu, influenced by Northern Italian fare includes unusual appetizers like home-cured, thinly sliced duck breast with gorgonzola dressing and... more

Dine in the attractive cellars of a rich (anal-retentive) wino. Do we have to see your Amontillado casks, sir? Stacks of bottles frame white linens and wood floors nearly as hard as the chairs. Pastas fearlessly try new look. Romantic/Date Spot couples stare each other in the eyes. We look on, creepily. Exquisite Italian is not afraid to go heavy on quail sausage and oxtail in its pastas and... more

Reading the reviews and getting a recommendation from friends, we were expecting much more from this restaurant. The food was fine, but nothing spectacular. Maybe they just had an off night. It was also odd that we were the only party in the entire restaurant for over an hour. Even at 8 pm when we left, the place was pretty empty. I know the economy is bad, but people still frequent the... more
