Botto Bistro

Update: In response to the owner, I only visited this place one time and never went back. I only called, because I saw online that the phone was off and I called to see if it was true. The number was indeed disconnected. Also, that's not my number, but I'm sure you did them a favor. But considering that cafeteria with unseasoned leftover food that you called a "business" is now, CLOSED, I was right so no need to argue. :) Spent $18 on spaghetti that was watery and inedible. Threw it in the trash. I think their plan to rack up bad reviews backfired. The last time I called their phone was disconnected, and when I drove up there the place was bone dry. They are never busy. It seems more people would rather eat Quiznos than at this place. If you're going to be rude and snotty towards customers, at least be able to deliver on the food. Especially with their prices, thoroughly disappointed and will never recommend this place.

I went here with a friend expecting nothing and was pleasantly surprised. The eggplant Parmesan was very good as was the panini & arugula salad. There is no table service and very little atmosphere overall, but the food more than compensates. They do have take-out food which would probably be a better option than “dining in”. The pizza gets great reviews but I didn’t try it. A lot of humor is used in their publicity as they tout “worst service”, “worst food”, etc. I’d go back for a casual lunch or take-out.

I do not know how anyone could rate this anything less than 5 stars. The pizza crust here is the best I had. It beats or at least stands toe to toe with any New York pizzeria. I had the pepperoni it was delicious. If you want quality you have to pay for it and I gladly paid $19 bucks for a small pizza.

Attitude. High price. Pick up your food and be happy that they give it to you. Food was great. Prices heh. I think they are marketing themselves as rebels against yelp. A good thing no doubt. But lose the attitude to real customers. Your almost out in the middle of nowhere. I know of a few more places I would give my custom to. Sorry never again.

Pretty bad overall. Pizza as can be seen below had flour all over it. Ended up just eating the toppings. You pay upfront so no going back. Service is pick up and eat. Sauce was out since needed something for the bland pizza and was told that's all they have. Would not recommend to dine in, looks more take out.

My pizza looked sloppy and tasted watery in the middle. It had no flavor and the pepper flakes and parmesan didnt even help. Its absolutely nasty and not worth what I paid for it. Unnecessarily expensive. I thought I would go back and get 50% off my next visit, but its not worth the money or torture of my taste buds nor the well being of my stomach. I wish I could give a 0 rating.

I stumbled onto this bistro when an accident blocked Cutting Road and I needed to kill some time. Very casual. Order at the counter, grab your beverage, and take one of the ten tables. They bring your meal to your table. There was only one other party present when I went in. There are lots of interesting menu items but a special--lamb burger with carmelized onions--spoke to me. It was delicious, as were the fresh fries. The accompanying salad was good but a little heavy on dressing. A draft beer--Boont Amber--went well with my meal. It was one of the better Ambers that I have tried. I would definitely return. The one oddity was needing to request a key for the restrooms. They are reserved for patrons but located at the back of the restaurant so there should not be an issue with noncustomers trying to use them.
