La Botteghita - Verdun

We came for a cocktail group of 7 happy hour. No alcohol in alcoholic cocktails. After discussion with the waiter, they are adding the mandatory 3cl, but still no way to know that for sure and our drinks remained like that. First and last time here.

I recently dined here in La Botteghita, Italian restaurant and the ravioloni was simply outstanding it will likely be the best meal of my trip. The homemade pasta was also fresh and delicious, and the starters were so yummy and large that we shared one meant for two among four people. The service was nice too, maybe a bit slow. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in search of fantastic Italian cuisine in a welcoming environment.

My go-to place for italian food in the north. Good quality and value for money. They have a great selection of wine.

Really liked our food. Had the pasta fantasia and it was really tasty. Big portions and decent prices.

We have ordered mixed buffalo platter which was absolutely delicious. The buffalo itself is super fresh and huge. One thing that I missed in this platter is bit of tomatoes and basil. I think if you add couple slices of tomatoes the dish would taste even better with all these combinations of salami and buffalo. Then we got pizzas which were huge, if we have only known the pizza is that big we have just ordered one pizza for 2 of us to share, especially after taking mixed platter for the starter. It is very subjective to tell how was the pizza, but the dough La Botteghita uses is not my favorite, it is too thin and crispy although my girlfriend enjoyed a lot. One minor thing that I didn’t like is that after we’ve finished the starter the waiter did not replace the fork and knife to the clean one. Instead, he just put the used cutlery on the table (not even on the napkin). This is not very hygienic to put your cutlery on the wooden table. It’s not a big deal to change the cutlery to the fresh one after the starter plate which will make the difference especially to the most fastidious customers. Overall, I think we’ll be back again. At least for the starter plate for sure!
