Secondly, the quality of the food was abysmal. I must say, this is some of the worst Italian food I’ve ever encountered. I ended up tossing half of it in the trash. I’ve enjoyed Amatriciana pasta many times before, but the sauce in this dish was bland and off-putting, akin to the cheapest canned tomato sauce you could find in a grocery store—almost reminiscent of Chef Boyardee. Furthermore, there was hardly any guanciale in the pasta at all. The Caesar salad was just a pile of cheap chopped lettuce, rather than full romaine or other greens; it felt like something you might get with a Taco Bell taco. The garlic bread was burnt and almost inedible.
This experience has been a major letdown and...
We visited Botte for our son's birthday dinner, joined by him since he lives nearby. Arriving at 5:30 PM on a Saturday without a reservation, we were promptly seated in the indoor dining area after a brief consultation. Our server was quick to attend to us, and it didn't take long for our drinks and pasta dishes to be ordered. Our meals were served surprisingly fast, and everything was absolutely delicious. While the portions aren't large, that was perfectly fine because the food was so flavorful and the prices reasonable. We also shared two desserts, both of which were delightful. With so many excellent restaurants in Astoria, Botte certainly stands out as one of the best.
Came here on a Friday night with my friend to have dinner and a couple drinks, we sat at the bar and the food was delicious. The service was impeccable and the drinks were amazing, definitely my new fav place. We were served by the bartender David who prepared for us some of his special drinks, the espresso martini was the best I ever had in my entire life, Salvatore was the server who helped us through the entire night, both of them so nice and polite
I really like Bottle Bar; I've been here several times, and the food is excellent with amazing drinks. This time, my friend and I stopped by just for drinks. We weren't sure what to order, but Valentina was incredibly friendly and offered us a drink menu. We tried a few options, and my favorite was the Made Ya Blush. Thank you, Valentina, for your attentive service! We'll definitely be back soon!

We were celebrating my birthday. Our table was ready when we got there. The service was wonderful. The food and drinks were spectacular. This was everyone in the group’s first time there but we will all be back soon. This is a hidden gem in Astoria!
Went in for Saturday brunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. We both had omelettes and shared the lemon ricotta pancakes. All delicious. Our server, Davide (sp? , was friendly and attentive. No complaints at all. Definitely recommend.
Food was terrible. It was clearly premade and stored several days in advance. The pizza was the equivalent of Chuck E. Cheese pizza. Server had no clue what she was talking about. So crowded and loud it was unenjoyable. Absolute waste of money.
