Described as elegant simplicity, Bottega, located at the top end of Bourke Street has served up some of Melbourne’s best modern Italian cuisine since 2002. With a welcoming ambience, thoughtful food, fine wine, and meticulous service, it's no wonder that it has been a city favourite for over twenty years.

Signature dishes include pan-roasted barramundi fillet, charred leeks, vellutata di patate + mussel vinaigrette and handmade beetroot + Gorgonzola Dolce DOP agnolotti, walnuts, golden beet tartare.

Sommelier Ben Knight’s quirky wine list has an emphasis on regional Australian wines and an extensive selection of imported wines, specialising in Italian varieties.
