Nuestro mesero muy malo . Los platillos regulares , pedimos una ensalada y carpaccio al inicio, que llegaron en unos platos helados , es decir, se ve que los preparan quien sabe con cuánta anticipación y los dejan adentro de un refrigerador , o sea como de restaurante de comida rápida. Pedimos un par de botellas de Prosecco y el mesero en lugar de decirnos el que tenían se refirió solo a que queremos el Número 4 ( como si fuera por número de paquete tipo McDonald’s). La verdad es que por el precio, prefiero muchas otras opciones antes en Vail. La iluminación que tienen es deprimente , unos focos que te dan en la cara tipo interrogatorio , en lugar que fuera una iluminación acogedora.

The food is not worth the outrageous price. Comparable to Olive Garden but way more expensive. Was very underwhelmed by this place.

Consistently good. Great, gracious service from Giovanni. Greek salad, carbonara, clam linguini were all good. Each year, La Bottega is always our first restaurant in Vail. You won’t be disappointed.
