Bottino Reviews

From the first visit at Bottino, I knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. This contemporary Italian restaurant located in Chelsea has a charming and cozy vibe. The food is amazing, and the outdoor patio/garden is ideal for an intimate ceremony. The staff, especially Danny and Sydney, is very friendly and responsive, making the overall experience very smooth even without a wedding planner. Our guests had a wonderful time! Thanks Bottino for this magical day!

Perfect day thanks to my family who helped decorate and the staff of Bottino for great service. Sydney helped us through the whole process. The food is always delicious at Bottino. They were helpful suggestions a mock-tail for our “cheers”. Florals by Starbright NYC.

I don't know where to even begin. Bottino exceeded all of my expectations! I had a small wedding (14 people total) and their spaces accommodated us so well. We held the ceremony in the beautiful North Garden and had our reception dinner in the private dining area found in the East Garden. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. Not to mention, I had been emailing the event managers, Sydney and Danny, for MONTHS to coordinate the wedding and they never ever made me feel like I was annoying. I appreciate everyone at Bottino so much.

Danny and his staff were a dream to work with. We were planning the wedding from out of state and the team was 1000000% responsive and accommodating the whole time. Bottino is a beautiful space. The food is wonderful, and the staff is A+. We couldn't have had a better experience. If you are looking for a special, intimate, and beautiful space, with an amazing staff, look no further. Special thanks to Danny, Sydney, and Devon for making our special day something we will remember for the rest of our lives.

This is a truly special venue. We rented out the private East Garden room for a family reception dinner after eloping. The staff couldn't have been more responsive and accommodating, answering all my questions before the event and meeting every possible need. It was a hot day and our original plan of being on the High Line before dinner got scrapped. The restaurant let us order cocktails at the bar in the AC early while they were setting up and technically still closed. They even provided a fresh watermelon juice at the start of dinner to help beat the heat. When researching restaurants in NYC to host, I struggled to find a place that was attractive, delicious, and reasonably priced. Bottino ticked every box and honestly exceeded my expectations! The garden is charming, the food and drinks are stellar, and the staff are the bomb. Our family couldn't stop raving about it!

Bottino is a beautiful and affordable location for a wedding in Manhattan. The outdoor patio was a huge selling point of this venue. Danny and Sydney were so helpful with our planning. Sydney answered all of our questions, and she acted as a coordinator the day of our wedding. She also helped plan the layout of our tables and decorations and worked with us for the drop off and setup of our decorations. Bottino makes it easy to set up your event menu, as you just choose a few items from the menu they are offering that season. I could not have planned our wedding without all of her helpful responses to our questions. In addition to the helpful staff and the beautiful patio, Bottino has amazing food. You can visit their website to read more about their food and partnerships with Michelin star chefs. Our wedding guests were raving about the atmosphere and the food for weeks. We are so happy that we chose to use Bottino as our wedding venue. We bought out the entire venue for a lunchtime wedding.

I can't recommend them highly enough! The entire experience was magical-from the gorgeous garden to the fabulous food, every detail was perfect. The price was reasonable, the response time short and we felt fully supported the entire time. This is our new favorite spot. Try them and it will be yours as well!

I loved my wedding at Bottino. The backyard garden is beautiful, and the food is DELICIOUS. All of my guests could not stop gushing about how delicious it was. One of the best parts about the wedding planning was how responsive they were. From the very beginning, even before we booked, Danny and Sydney were always available to answer any questions that we had and help us make decisions. Day of, Sydney basically served as a wedding coordinator and she made sure everything went spectacularly. They did an amazing job, highly recommend!

We chose Bottino to host our small intimate wedding after falling absolutely in love with their garden area and amazing Italian food. They were very reasonable in their pricing and also proved to be quite friendly, supportive and flexible in their service. My husband and I could not thank them enough for the wonderful garden ceremony and dinner reception afterwards. Overall a wonderful restaurant, with great food and warm friendly staff.
We look forward to returning there soon.

I can't say enough good things about Bottino - Danny, Lauren and Dawn were amazing! My husband and I had a perfect wedding at this incredible restaurant. Every detail, from the food, to the space to the staff was impeccable - warm, hospitable and attentive. All our guests raved about the delicious food! A perfect place for an intimate wedding. We're looking forward to celebrating our first anniversary there next year!

Danny and his team put on the best rehearsal dinner that I could have asked for. This is just what they do, and they are GREAT at it. It was more than I could have hoped for...and how on earth they managed to fire 52 meals for everyone in such great timing is beyond my comprehension! The space was very tight with our amount of guests and the wait staff did an excellent job navigating around us. I can't say enough about how glad we were to have booked this event with Bottino. I highly recommend.

We love Danny + Lauren! My husband and I had the sweet small wedding of our dreams at this incredible space: the food was unreal (our italian family loved, which is the biggest compliment) , service impeccable, and the warmth and hospitality was unlike anything I've seen before at a NYC restaurant (and especially not the normal wedding industry spaces in the area). I can't wait to have my anniversary dinner there next year.

We had our engagement party at Bottino and it was perfection. Each one of our guests told us how much fun they had and how much they loved the venue and the food. We rented the garden room for cocktails and then the pool room for dinner. We brought our own music - there is an ipod connector and speakers in the rooms. They helped us find flowers and the cake. They were completely professional, fun, and helped to make the event stress free. I think it's the perfect venue for a small, intimate event.

Well where do i start in bigging this place up, well 2 years ago me and my husband decided to get married in NYC and after looking on forums to find somewhere to hold our reception i came across this little gem.
i spent 2 years emailing danny, for him to responed to every mail and question i asked (trust me there was alot) living in England i had to put my trust in to him to deliver everything he said and my god did he, from the room, food, table flowers, cake, music & wedding favours everything was spot on he did everything we could of ever of wanted and more.
As for his staff they were all amazing and anything we asked for they did they even wanted to join our party as we were having so much fun, and because there was only 16 guest at my wedding we only had the small room which felt perfect as we didnt feel lost in a huge room. we had cocktails in the garden which is beautiful, the staff moved the tables so we could dance later on it was just the most perfect day ever. danny was a god send when organising thing i just sent pictures and he made them pictures come to life, trusting someone else was a risky thing to do for our wedding day but all my guest have said it was the best wedding they had ever been i had no stress or worry.
danny also let us choose things for our menu and even made a New York Cheesecake as its my dads fav.
everybody should go to Bottinos its totally amazing our day was perfect the food was perfect, thank you for the best day of our lives!!

My wife and I searched for a long time to find the perfect venue for our wedding reception/luncheon. After speaking with Danny and receiving a quote that is within anyones budget, we soon booked one of the private rooms for our group of 25. We live in Atlanta and planned everything sight unseen. We could not be happier with the location, the beautiful space, the great service and the wonderful meals we received.

Our server, Jack, handled our rowdy Southern group with ease - everyone loved him. I don't think that if someone was unhappy with their food that they would have told the brides, but I didn't see any picked over plates or any send backs (except for the sorbet and chocolate biscotti dessert, but it could be that those folks were just full!). I had salmon which was fantastic and my wife had the Tagliata - no complaints from either of us.

We could not be happier! In hindsight, I only wish we would have rented more of the space so we had more room and more time to mingle - I should have listened to Danny! There is also a beautiful garden area available for ceremonies.

Danny was very professional, responsive, and a delight to work with. Our wedding was the weekend after Hurricane Sandy. We travelled from Texas with family and friends. Danny had contingency plans in place to serve our meal by candlelight if the power didn't come back on. We ended up having a spectacular ceremony and meal. We can't speak highly enough about the service and staff at Bottino and look forward to dining there again LAN our next trip to New York.

Absolutely fabulous!!!! the food, staff, drinks!!! we couldn't have asked for anything else. The Restaurant is beautiful. The staff couldn't have been better!!! From beginning to end they went out of their way to accomadate us and made sure everything was perfect. Our guests loved it and have all been back for dinner since!!!
The outdoor patio (which can be glassed in for cold weather) was the perfect place for our ceremony!!! We wouldn't hesitate to do it all again!! The owner Danny is top notch!!! Love them!! Love Bottino's!!!

We had a wonderful experience having our rehearsal dinner at Bottino! Danny was a great coordinator leading up to the event, helping us secure a projector for a slideshow as well as the flowers and menus for the tables. We had a great tasting experience before we picked our menu, and on the day of the event people RAVED about the food. Lauren, the night-of manager, addressed any questions that night as they arose. The room looked beautiful and romantic -- it was the perfect setting for the rehearsal dinner that we'll remember forever. We would highly recommend Bottino!

We booked for a rehearsal dinner - Danny and other staff were incredibly accommodating and responsive to us while we organized everything (we had planners on both coasts). We were able to have a cousin come in early and set up flower arrangements and we had the outdoor garden area for us in the cocktail hour as well (with passed wine). The food was all delicious and service was prompt and courteous.
