Great food and service, we were there for lunch, there was only one table besides us, surprisingly not many people dinning here.

I went to this little hidden gem for dinner tonight' and had a great experience! I was looking for homemade pasta and they delivered! Started with baked clams and prosciutto/burata appetizer which was fresh and tasty! I haven't had baked clam like this in a while so it was a pleasant surprise! For entrees we had seafood fra diavolo and short rib cavatelli. Both really good, great portion size (I took half home) and we had a Caesar and bottle salad which we both perfect. My only criticism was the fra diavolo was not fra diavolo enough haha but otherwise he seafood was all fresh and cooked perfectly. For dessert we were so full but got a cannoli and a cappuccino. My husband said the cream in the cannoli wasn't sweet enough but I thought it was fine ‍ anyway.. if you want a nice dinner that doesn't disappoint.. oh and our waiter was old school EXCELLENCE! Great service! We will be back. They will know us by name eventually!

Excellent food! I have the risotto and cooked to perfection! My friend had the rigatoni and could use a little more cooking time. It's a little too al dente but the sauce was yummy! We had the bread pudding for dessert and it was ok but the tiramisu was good. Definitely would go back there.

Restaurant is very relaxing, appealing and clean. There was a nice group at the bar just chatting. The staff didn't give a warm greeting but warmed up after a while. The food was really good. I had the salmon with spinach. The spinach was the some of the best spinach I ever had. The tiramisu was homemade. It tasted great, would order it again.

Restaurant was nice and unexpected from the outer appearance. It was very quiet- I think there were 1 or 2 other tables aside from mine with customers. The drinks were very very strong, which I personally don't love when I can't get past the taste of alcohol in a drink. Food on the other hand was delicious & huge portions, we went home with meals that lasted us an additional 2 meals. Vodka pasta was creamy and flavorful without an overwhelming vodka taste. The chicken parm was thin (preferred over thick cutlets) j seasoned well, really enjoyed the red sauce.

The food and service were fantastic. The cocktails not so much. Hopefully, they can improve on the bartending side as this restaurant is well worth their prices.

I visited this place three time while I was staying in the area. It did happen to be close. The service was wonderful, the food was very good, and the prices were very descent. We had the beet, caesar, and arugula salads. Chilean sea bass, filet, bolognese, and ravioli truffle. The wine selection is not bad either.

Late lunch on a Wednesday, i was there better 2:30-3:00 so just a couple other customers. Service was very kind, speedy, and well done. Buffalo Mozzarella Tomato appetizer was very good. The cheese was the star, could have used slightly larger tomato, but i would order again. Could not decide on entree so went with two, why not....i was hungry. Truffle risotto was good, not the best I've ever had, but the flavor was there and it was good, i would order it again also. Chilean Sea bass with potatoes and vegetables was all very well prepared. Fish was simple, no sauce or anything, just a large piece of fish with crispy skin left on. I usually don't like the skin but this was really good. Everything else on the plate was well prepared. All in all I think I would give the food like a 4.25-4.5 stars but the servers were really really nice, granted they weren't crowded so they had time, but I moved them up to 5 stars for the service

While the outdoor dining area is on the sidewalk every detail to make the patio into a pleasing place to dine has been added. Large planters surround and enclose the area along with plants and branded umbrellas on most tables throughout the patio. Heaters are also in abundance. If dining outdoors doesn't tickle your fancy, you have nice indoor dining options. There are two dining areas, the first light and airy with a very nice bar. The second area is a bit dimmer although the back wall is an atrium-style were you can easily view the outdoor gardens with a gazebo, ponds, wooden arched bridge and lots of greenery. La Botte has transferred the space that previously housed Chicago Uno Pizza. They did a fabulous renovation job with the space. The food quality matches the ambience. You can tell the staff is well trained and experienced which added to a very pleasant dining experience. They offer a variety of Italian American and American dishes but when the menu says Pasta Fresca, I'm choosing that. We started with a Prosciutto e Parmigiano. 24-month aged black label prosciutto di parma with 48-month aged parmigiano-reggiano. A few mixed olives and salad greens completed the board. It was a nice portion for two people along with some fresh bread and focaccia served when you sit down. I asked the waiter what his preference was between two dishes. He recommended the Garganelli with wild mushrooms, black truffle sauce, touch of cream. SOLD, that's what I wanted. My friend ordered the potato gnocchi, speak, artichoke, shallots, in a white wine light cream sauce. Both portions were hearty enough that I had to bring some home and neither of us had room for dessert. We both had two special cocktails which were served in small stemware glasses. The pour was to the top but given the price versus size we opted to finish one drink and not order a second. I would recommend La Botte and will return. It's a sold 4 3/4 stars.
