I was walking on Main St. looking for lunch and was faced with several viable options. A corner table on La Bottega's patio, which was in the shade, called to me as it was a warm, sunny day.
I entered and was immediately greeted by extremely welcoming staff. As the table I was eyeing was being prepared for me, I must have been asked another three times if I'd yet been helped. Great attentiveness!
I took my seat and placed my order: 1/2 Giuseppe sandwich and 1/2 smoked mushroom ravioli. It arrived in no time at all and was delicious.
Everything about the experience was perfect. I highly recommend this place and am excited to return for dinner sometime.
I love Italian food. And finding great places that are authentic aren't that easy. This place was amazing!!!! The staff was courteous, attentative, and helpful. I love the layout of the whole restaraunt, and the decor. And the food was to die for. I am so happy we found this place. I will definately be coming back to try more dishes!!! I also love that they change their menu depending on what's in season, so I can look forward to trying new things when I come back again!
It’s a good thing I live an hour away or I’d die here with a mouth full of olives. Comfortable atmosphere, perfectly simple pasta, and the best Caesar I’ve ever had.

Very Good food and very good service. Love this place. Makes us feel like we are back in a little Italian neighborhood place, where the best Italian food is routine. Something that does exist here in the NW.
My wait staff Jen had a great wine suggestion for our meal. I particularly enjoyed the beef tips and house made gnocchi while my dinner partner had the mushroom ravioli. Always great service and food.
Excellent food, atmosphere, and service. This isn't Olive Garden, it's original Italian fare with real flavor. Will definitely be back to try the other items. A little expensive but we'll worth the value,space is somewhat limited so I suggest off hours so your experience is not hectic.
Fabulous place to eat! Both my daughter and myself are gluten intolerant and they have gluten free pasta and dishes, which are wonderful. Their wine selection is exceptionally as well.
Cool ambiance, almost feels like you're in a trendy Manhattan restaurant. The food is delicious, the staff is always welcoming and accommodating to special requests. My favorite place!!!

Had a wonderful late lunch with friends. I love that most menu items had half order options. It gave me a chance to try a few t
hings. The Winter Mista was light and delightful but the pasta with a the Smokey bacon pomodoro sauce was really really amazing. I was wishing I had gotten a full order so I could take some home. Great wine, beer, cider menu or lemonade made fresh at your table. Save room for dessert. !!
Great atmosphere, service was amazing and to boot the food was on top! By far my favorite to go Italian restaurant!

This is our favorite restaurant! We found them after they participated in Festa Italiano years ago (my husband helps run). We decided to seek out the restaurant itself and it does not disappoint!
The food is amazing and we are hard to please. My husband is half Italian and I come from a family of sophisticated foodies.
The chef is amazing and we celebrate all our special occasions there. We have tried every amazing PDX Italian restaurant and LA Bottega is still our favorite. Great job chef!
Seriously delicious food. Excellent service. We will come back again. Loved, loved, loved it. Made my birthday special!
