$$$$Price: Moderate • Italian • Oro Valley
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!!!
