Heading there this week, heard good things from this weekend as well. Curious about the noise.

Only problem? Really, really loud. Distracting in fact, sad to say.
Been twice now and have enjoyed it both times. Staff are great as well.

They have a good offering. Tapas, paninis, pizza, salads, a variety of meats and seafood mains as well as pasta.

I enjoyed my pizza, nice selection of by the glass wine, the two others has salads with a protein addition and liked them as well.

The space is great, albeit a bit loud indeed.

Service and overall experience was ok, but with any new establishment they need to work out some of the first week kinks.

A great addition to Downtown and 104st!

So Bottega opens a block away from bodega.............

Pasta, pizza, panini seems more like suburban strip mall than 104st...but worth a try I guess

It is an Italian Bottega.

Bodega is Portuguese.

But yes, confusing.

It is not what, but rather how my friend.

No fears mcc - it's no strip mall - not in layout, decor or food.

Bingo.

Lots of activity behind the scenes for even more potential new additions to the culinary and hospitality scene in Downtown. Very exciting and some important gaps being filled. More to come.

Urban Tavern (once known as The Druid) will be offering outdoor seating beginning July 21.

Sounds a bit late IMHO, though. But at least there'd still be plenty of summer weather ahead.
