Botticelli Ristorante & Bar

Stopped here for a quick coffee on New Years day. What a perfect place for a romantic dinner. It is quite busy so probable best to book. The coffee was amazing with a complimentary homemade biscuit. The service was outstanding and the prices quite reasonable. Although I didn't eat here I intend on going back to eat as it looked and smelled amazing and the restaurant was so busy you have to assume it is good. Great care was also being taken to ensure covid rules were carried out and tables were being wiped down after every guest!!

Excellent food - one of the best Italian food experiences that we can remember. And we have traveled extensively. We had one starter and three mains for three of us - and each dish was almost perfection. Each one was delightful and hugely tasty. Good service - lovely decor and atmosphere. It deserves all its accolades

Tonight, the staff and chefs provided us with one of the best Italian meals I have had. The grilled calamari was so tender and packed with the a complex mix of delicious flavours, that had us all scraping the sauce off our plate. My choice of pasta (and honestly the best Gluten Free pasta I have had) was generously served with prawns and scallops in a delicious sauce with just the right amount of heat. The gelato was incredibly creamy and you could taste the fresh fruit in the strawberry scoop. I only wished I lived in Melbourne as this would easily be my new favourite eatery. Thank you so much and well done on your outstanding food and service.

What began as a lovely evening, quickly turned into such a horrible experience all because of one staff member... The MANAGER!! clearly you are unable to find someone who is fit for this role and that is really really sad because your wait staff are soooo lovely and the food was great!! Unfortunately within five minutes of our main dishes being cleared from the table and us advising we didn't want any dessert this evening your manager Martina brought the bill straight over and rudely advised we needed to go as the next reservation had arrived!! Firstly, our 2 hours were not up. We had only just hit 90 minutes and my drink was only half empty. Secondly the restaurant was not even at 50% capacity, with nobody waiting for a table. This absolutely ruined our night and it's a real shame as her whole attitude and lack of professionalism or tact left such a damper on the entire experience. Your wait staff tried to advise that we could stay a little longer but honestly at this point we couldn't pay and get out of there fast enough. (Funny how all of a sudden the next reservation was no longer waiting for our table) We will never be returning. Please do yourselves a favour and keep Martina at back of house where she won't be ruining your customers night. To anyone thinking of coming here.... Don't!!! There are plenty of other restaurants who value their clientele and don't rush them out the door half an hour before the allocated time slot is up.

I love this place. I've been here several times before, but not in a long while, and it's great to see that they've expanded (taken the store that was next door and made their interior much bigger). Today the service was impeccable, and the food also. I started with the Caprese Salad, and it was SO heavenly. It was beautifully presented and it was possibly one of the very best I've ever had anywhere. The mozzarella was massive and it was sitting in a pesto foam which was sooooo tasty. I had one piece of the garlic bread that others at the table ordered, and man, that was phenomenal. The best garlic bread I've tried ever. Then for the main course I had a Salmone Gnocchi (that was actually originally penne, but they kindly made changes) which was so good. Dessert (which I only ordered so I didn't feel left out as everyone else ordered ... ) was the crepes filled with vanilla ice cream in a mandarin liquor with mandarin segments. If you're wanting a beautiful meal out - be it lunch or dinner - you can't go past Botticelli. It is such a great experience and there's a lot to choose from on the menu and it's all reasonably priced for the quality. I very highly recommend it here.
