Belotti Ristorante E Bottega

Amazing pasta and service!

I was so blessed to have a wonderful birthday lunch with my mom here a few days ago. The star of the show was her vegetarian pasta. I totally love the Americana salad which we split and she had the original dressing which is a cinnamon honey mustard and very mildly season which was nice and on mine I had the lemon creamy vinaigrette which I thought was Superior and really complimented The Toasted Hazelnut and cranberries perfectly! We sat at the bar since we hadn't made a reservation and we're being spontaneous, and the bartender was an absolute delight and really made the whole service and experience wonderful. If you want to have a conversation, that's the way to go because the ambient noise is quite loud since it's a small space. Oh I almost forgot, the real showstopper was the panna cotta at the end with raspberry coulis, complete with a single birthday candle!!

I knew nothing about this place prior to coming here. My wife booked the restaurant and told me that it was Italian once we were almost there. Now growing up, I used to live in upstate net York and if you didn't know it is littered with Italian restaurants and have also basically identical, typical menus. Once I looked at the menu and didn't see typical "alfredos" and "chicken parmigian" I got really, really excited. We were served with fresh bread and olive oil quite quickly after being seated. The bread was quite airy and fluffy and the olive oil was absolutely decadant. It was smooth with a dark, Green-yellow color and slight hit of earthy flavor. We ordered the Battuta and paid extra for black truffles. It tasted amazing and they didn't skimp on the truffles. For a $15 addition, the completely covered the dish. At a Michelin starred restaurant it probably would have cost $60-$80 for the same amount. I ordered the Casoncelli Bergamashi. It had a wonderfully creamy and salty flavor. I was worried that with the amount of cured meats it would be too salty, but it was actually perfectly balanced with the sauce. The cream sauce also wasn't very heavy, and I liked that the dish wasnt drowned in sauce either. My wife got the taglioni burro e acciughe. I didn't take a picture of it because it really looked just like pasta in sauce. Presentation was not strong with this dish. However, if you saw my wife's face after she took a bite you would know this dish is amazing. I'm personally not an anchovie fan so I did not try it. Overall this place is great. I would only dock a star on the environment because it was a tad cold for being inside and would have felt freezing if we took our jackets off. Also just be aware that there is only street parking.

Wonderful Northern Italian food. Tony is my go to waiter and he is personable with wonderful recomendations you should trust if you have not dined here. You really can not go wrong with any of their offerings. Don't pass on dessert...also some delicious offerings. Enjoy!

Had a wonderful lunch today! We didn't catch our server's name but the receipt says AM S. The food was great as always but the service really blew our socks off today!! Our water glasses and our bread basket were constantly refilled without asking and our sever's friendly, kind demeanor really made our day! Thank you AM S!!!

Incredible food, some of the best pasta I’ve had in the Bay. Could easily be a Michelin star with a white table cloth service, but perfectly happy with this place the way it is.
