Bottega

Overview

Located on Bourke Street, Bottega is one of your best Italian options if you're roaming around the CBD. The soft leather seatings and comfortable vibe make it perfect for a romantic dinner or a few lunchtime drinks. Their three course lunch and pre-theatre special is a steal at just $55 per person. Sharing options include freshly shucked oysters and slow cooked pork and ham croquettes, while standout mains include house-made pappardelle with goat ragu; pan-seared snapper with zucchini flowers, roast truss tomato, prawns and aioli; and porcini and ricotta cannelloni with parmigiano reggiano, braised radicchio treviso and smoked mozzarella.
