    My wife and I frequent Bottaio for all of our special occasions, and they never miss. Every meal is spot on. A true gem in downtown Libertyville.

    We had 2 of the specials on the menu. The walleye with roasted artichokes, peppers over linguine and a seafood pasta. The seafood and fish were tender and moist with wonderfully clean flavors. Our waiter was very attentive and helped make the evening special.

    Excellent food and service- room was just really chilly. Had the Shrimp- crab meat penne pasta special which was so delicious! Homemade penne - light and airy. Great light cream sauce. Hubby had veal Marsala which was perfectly made- sauce and mushrooms amazing. Salted caramel gelato and tiramisu- wow!!

    Bottaio is consistent and reliable. We tend to order our favorites as we don't go often. Service is impeccable.

    4 of us for Dinner. Service and wait staff was exceptional and attentive to our needs. Food was served hot, well prepared and visually appealing. I had the Veal Parmesan. This was the best I've had in a while. A big portion Veal Chop with bone. I would come again definitely. Price point for what you get was a great value.

    First they overbook or can’t keep up in kitchen. 7pm reservation. Seated at 7:45. Appetizer came out quick. Didn’t eat dinner till 8:45. Main courses were excellent. Caesar Yuck! Minestrone soup. Very average. Bruschetta good. Had 2 pasta dish’s. Family liked a lot. Veal Chop was excellent. Service was excellent. I will go back but will make 5:00 reservations so I can get out at reasonable time. Don’t like going to bed and still being full.

    First time at this restaurant and the food was amazing. Our server and the rest of the staff was very attentive, the hostess was friendly and the ambiance welcoming. My only negative would be the noise level. It was incredibly loud. I plan to visit again, but am thinking maybe a little earlier might be a better option as there would be fewer customers and the noise level might not be as bad.
