    Yes, it's a family place, busy as heck, and yes, nonna greets you at check-in, after a bit of searching for our reseervation (we were a bit late). But the undertone is 100% corporate slickness, like the unsettling background vibe in a suspense film. First hint? The fill-to marks etched into every wine glass. Food & Drink Report: Cocktail: Absolutely the worst so-called Negroni I've ever had. The color of watered-down Aperol, without a hint of Campari or gin flavor. Watch Stanley Tucci's video on how to make a proper Negroni, please, I beg you. Appetizer: The Black Mediterranean Mussels (nduja sausage, white wine, marinara, gorgonzola crostini) was stupendous, over a dozen mussels with a sauce full of flavor in all dimensions. The gorgonzola crostini were massive, covered edge-to-edge with cheese crumbles. Definitely worth a trip to get this again. Main: Canneloni (crêpes, sausage, pork, soppressata, alfredo cream sauce, mozzarella) were OK, though without much flavor in either sausage or sauce. A nice portion I couldn't finish, and this is where the second corporate alarm bell rang: I asked the server to throw a splash of the mussels sauce on it and she froze, as if she couldn't conceive of doing so, telling me "I'll have to ask my manager." (OMG, what's the SKU for the up-charge for that????) I did get a splash of marinara, though not the nduja-laced sauce from the mussels -- and no up-charge. Dessert: They comped a slice of tiramisu for my wife's birthday, per the reservation on OT. Nice gesture, and the cake was OK. Bottom line: Nice place, will go again, this time forewarned on the good, the bad, and the it's-OK dishes. But not my first choice in Tucson family-run Italian restos.

    Excellent quality from appetizers to desserts, good selection of menu items. Knowledgeable and attentive service. Only negative is that it is a bit loud, but otherwise a very enjoyable meal. Weather permitting a nice patio is available

    We’ve been here several times and always have a good experience, but our waiter David last night was exceptional. Friends joined us and were also impressed with the food.

    One of our very favorite restaurants in Tucson!! I remember the original restaurant and the decor that reminded me of a nice assisted living facility 😂 - the food was delicious but it was very dated decor. The remodel completely transformed the restaurant & rebranded it as a hip, beautiful dining experience. The patios are lovely, the Happy Hour is THE BEST in Tucson and elsewhere, service is exceptional, the Sophia Loren cocktail is a favorite…just an exceptional place!!! Thank you to the owners & exceptional team, all of whom make every experience a memorable one. The menu is fabulous, too!!!! Our friend who has many choices of Italian in Phoenix says Bottega is his favorite. We will see you again on Friday & Saturday as we get together with friends!!!
