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.

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.

FIORENTINA doesn’t disappoint. Love this restaurant in our neighborhood. The steaks are delicious cooked exactly how we ordered it. We had the surf and turf this time which was outstanding. The drinks are delightful. The wine is very nice. Desserts are great too. Can’t wait to come back. It’s worth every dollar.
