With the same fire that burned in the culinary belly of Ancient Rome, Francesco and Valerio embarked on a dream to open a cozy, authentic Italian restaurant in New York.

From homemade pasta, a time-honored tribute to their Nonna's lasagna sheets hanging on a drying rack on Sundays, to wood-fired pizza Romana, a thin-crust pizza, classic recipes like carbonara, cacio e pepe, carciofi fritti, and suppli, a Roman rice ball street food, you can eat like a Roman at Botte without booking an expensive flight to Roma. Then again, traveling to Italy is always a fun adventure.

There is a sense of Italian Famiglia, family, and kinship within the Botte group. Chef Antonio Costa opened the first Botte Bar and has returned to enhance his Roman family recipes from generations ago.

There is a table for everyone at Botte. Whether you are a regular or a first-time customer, patrons from all walks of life are welcome to dine in a Roman-Italian Trattoria casual atmosphere at Botte Ditmars.

One of the worst experiences ever. Staff are clueless, half our food came, got cold and then the other half came later. I ask the waiter to check where it is he says ok and then he walks outside. Total disregard of customer service. Do not go here.

I’ve eaten here a few times. I like it. 99% of the time it’s been good. The service is great! The chicken parm was a little dry around the edges. The desserts seem to be always out but pretty’s good. The drinks are amazing. Great location.
