• wedding buyout, party of 50

  We had a beautiful wedding at Bottino back in September 28th this year and I just wanted to give a big shout out to Bottino's team especially Sydney and Devon for being so easy to work with and the assistance and support they gave us made our wedding planning so much easier. We had a full buyout on a Sunday with about 50 guests in total and the space was just perfect for everyone to roam around freely, it wasn't too crowded nor too empty. We did used a couple of vendors they recommended, from planning to menu tasting to executing on the day of, the whole experience was just seamless. Big shoutout to Sydney for always being so reassuring, she's extremely responsive, whether it's updating the seating charts, the timeline or the vendors follow up, they were all done in a timely manner. We had only 7 months to plan the entire wedding and if there's one thing that I didn't need to worry about during the planning, it will be Bottino for sure. All of our guests praised for the food being delicious and said they would come back to the restaurant and try other items on the menu, especially the tiramisu!(Though my personal favorite would be the pecan pie!) Thank you Bottino for giving us such a memorable wedding celebrations and we can't wait to celebrate our first year anniversary at Bottino next year! I highly recommend them if you're looking for a romantic intimate wedding in NYC!

• wedding reception, party of 120

  Hosting our wedding at Bottino absolutely exceeded every hope and dream I had. We had dined there a few times before and already loved the food, drinks, ambience, and staff — but seeing how they brought all of that to life for a 120-person wedding truly blew us away. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredible — so gracious, attentive, and on top of every detail. They made us and all of our guests feel genuinely cared for. The food was unbelievable — I still don’t know how they managed to serve such consistently delicious dishes to so many people. The space itself was stunning, warm, and elegant — exactly the NYC-chic dinner party vibe we wanted. Leading up to the wedding, Devon, Sydney, and the entire events team made everything seamless. They communicated clearly, set expectations perfectly, and made us feel so special every step of the way. Our guests are still raving about the night — so many people told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! We can’t wait to go back to Bottino for anniversaries and dinners for years to come, remembering the incredible night we had there.

• birthday dinner

  I recently had a birthday dinner at Bottino recently and it was fantastic. I booked the pool room which was private but not cut off from the restaurant, the events team of Sydney, Devon and Danny were extremely helpful and responsive and made the planning process seamless. Anthony the general manager was on site on the night of the event and helped out with last minute requests. If you’re planing a party, wedding or family event, book Bottino, you won’t be disappointed, my guests loved the food and enjoyed the evening.

• baby shower, party of 60

  We held a baby shower at Bottino yesterday for our daughter with 60 people and it was truly a fabulous event. In terms of the planning process, Devon is a great communicator - gets back to calls and emails promptly - and has a "can do" spirit. Day of, the staff joyfully helped with set up, the wait staff were lovely and professional, and the food was delicious. The space was perfect for our needs. All of our guests had the best time! Highly recommend!
