La Bottega in Blackpool

What an amazing restaurant - the staff, food, ambience and decor all absolutely beautiful. Could not fault any aspect of this establishment - had a beautiful meal - the waiters and barmen were so attentive and friendly we all very welcome. The standard of food was excellent - didn't want to leave!

A fabulous restaurant, with friendly, attentive staff who make you feel very welcome. Went as a party of 6 people & the food was outstanding, everyone in the party commented saying it was the best Italian food they had eaten & the prices are very reasonable. It certainly is a hidden gem, but glad we’ve found it as we will be back!

We had checked the reviews when choosing where to eat, as the restaurant lived up to the reviews. The staff were really friendly right through from arriving to leaving. Food was absolutely delicious, everyone enjoyed everything that we ordered. Would highly recommend 😋

What a great find. A REAL Italian restaurant ! Everyone was so friendly and obliging. Even the chef left his kitchen to make sure we were all happy and obviously took pride in his food. Delighted to be making a return visit tomorrow.

Outstanding home made food, superb service. Very friendly personal service. Highly recommended, a must if you come to Blackpool and value the best cuisine.

What a lovely little find. Superb little Italian restaurant, great menu selection. Food quality was amazing and good portion sizes. Great restaurant, we will defiantly return.

Arrived with no real expectation. Blackpool is rather run down. Had a very good dinner, very well served by friendly affable staff. What a brilliant find in the middle of Blackpool. Good Italian food, friendly servers and cooks, in a happy city center restaurant. Enjoy it!

Highly recommend this small Italian. It’s tucked away on the northern part of Abingdon Street. Very friendly and efficient service, good ambiance and plenty of variety on the menu. Found it by chance; will DEFINITELY return!

Didn’t have a booking but managed to get us in, the food was incredible and great service, we will be back next time in Blackpool!

Called in on Friday 9th February had a very good and very reasonable priced bottle of the house wine, we both had fillet steak and I finished off with Beutiful granolas and a young and good team staff, we will return

As always a magnificent meal cooked expertly, delivered by knowledgeable staff in Stylish surroundings within a great atmosphere. An absolute gem !! Easily the best Italian restaurant around and on my next visit it’s the first place I shall visit.

This is superb, clean, friendly, special little Italian restaurant in the middle of Blackpool. The food and service are excellent with a lovely choice of dishes. The friendly staff cannot do enough for you. My partner and I visit the restaurant every time we go to Blackpool and we have never been disappointed. I even had my 60th birthday meal at La Bottega last year and we all loved it. Good luck and best wishes to Alex and the Staff.

Delicious fresh Italian food made by real Italians! Great quality and good prices. Fresh fish, good meats, delicious pasta & pizza (the Italian brothers know a thing or 2 about how to make good pizza & food!) We often recommend La Bottega on Abingdon Street in Blackpool to our overseas visitors, as well as to friends who come to the theatres or wintergardens/Blackpool Tower events from out of town. Hidden gem! You will not be disappointed…even the desserts are interesting & authentic - always get tempted once we see that amazing sweet trolley, despite being full already! (plenty of choice)

We went with friends for a catch up, very friendly and good food, and good value for money , will visit again.

Had a wonderful delicious meal here 5th December, owner was very welcoming and accommodating, he even cooked us something that wasn’t specifically on the menu. I ordered garlic mushrooms and carbonara and I can honestly say it’s the tastiest Italian meal I have ever had. I didn’t leave a scrap of food and enjoyed every mouthful. Highly recommend for people who enjoy delicious Italian food , in an intimate, and clean environment.

Our evening felt like a great night in with friends with exquisite food and drink. This place is what you make it .. the fantastic staff accommodate you. Goats cheese starter was sublime and oh my the lobster pasta was so tasty and elegant. Couldn’t resist that fantastic sweet trolley so we went for the tiramisu and lemon mousse version to share. Exquisite. If this place was 70 miles nearer it would be my local place to go. Thanks for a great time guys

Hi booked for my wife birthday We have been here before and the first time was excellent back in 2021 This time the food the staff the whole experience was above and beyond We both had the fillet steaks and pudding excellent If your booking Italian this is the one honestly Thank you

Great find. We had a lovely meal. Starters were all lovely. We had the pate, calamari and meatballs. Everyone enjoyed them. The pizzas were all really well cooked. Nice and thin and plenty of toppings. I had the spicy pasta. Really tasty with a nice chilli heat. The pasta was really good quality and cooked Al dente as I like it. We all had a dessert again all choices were really enjoyed. A couple of Irish coffees rounded the night off. Incidentally we had a bottle of the Gavi @£26 it was really good and great value. Our friends enjoyed the rose blush. The whole meal was £185 including the tip. 4 people 3 course. 2 bottles of wine and 2 Irish coffees Best value meal we have had in a long time. Shame we couldn’t go again during our short stay. Highly recommend

Visited with friends whilst in Blackpool for the weekend. Pizza was great. Made to my liking with no sauce too. Got back to the hotel, only to realise I'd left my bag on the chair, quick call told me they were keeping it safe until we got back. 10/10

Last night was our final night in Blackpool and we booked this restaurant as a final special meal. The restaurant delivered and then some!! The staff were lovely, the ambience just right and the food absolutely amazing. They don't add a service charge or gratuity to the bill but we were more than happy to tag one on anyway. As a side note, one of our party left their bag and they held on to it until they were able to reclaim it. Will definitely visit again. Thank you.

We were in blackpool at the weekend in October just wondering what shall we eat on the night, Chinese, Indian or Italian. So we asked the receptionist at our hotel any nice Italian restaurants in the area… She said that she often goes to the...

La Bottega is an excellent restaurant. It is a small intimate place, bright, modern and spotlessly clean. The waiter was very good, friendly and attentive. My partner started with the tiger prawns and I had the whitebait, with a garlic bread to share. which we...

This is the best Italian restaurant in Blackpool, caters for vegetarians, everything is freshly prepared and the attention to detail is fantastic. Vegetarian options are lovely too. Prices are excellent value for money. Alex and his team are extremely friendly and helpful.

Lovely food! Reasonable prices. Friendly staff! I will definitly visit again. The service was very quick. We took a party of five. Everyone enjoyed the garlic bread and prawns to start. The mains were just the right amount. Beautiful risotto, lovely salmon and great pasta...

We had a lovely meal and the group of 12 really enjoyed the atmosphere and service. Good value and great quality. The only slight negative was that the desserts were out in the open and not covered. We would recommend this restaurant and when we...

First class italian restaurant,excellent food and nice friendly staff.Very well laid out,very clean and tidy,not too expensive.

Cannot fault this place. We return the and time again when in the area. Food exceptional. Staff amazing. Just go see for yourself. House wine very reasonably priced and good value.

Wow...food was amazing! Service was quick and very professional from the young waiters. The best tiramisu I've had in uk!

Fantastic food, great service and reasonably priced. What’s not to like? Nothing! Busy restaurant , was full, so would recommend booking.

Lovely Italian restaurant. Love the fact that it is around the corner and away from a busy pub area so basically there were no loud stag and hens any where to be seen. It’s as close to being in Italy without actually being there. The...

The food was pretty tasteless. My wife had pasta, zero taste. I had a pizza, pretty bad. Table was not cleaned properly. Had hair on it. 12yos behind the bar. Weird for me how it currently has 5 stars. Puddings uncovered all night and on...

Fantastic authentic Itallian restaurant, what can I say but a must visit even if in Blackpool for a couple of days. Off the main drag, but what a lovely restaurant. Cracking menu and staff are brilliant. Thanks for making us very welcome Gareth and Deborah

I found the restaurant online when searching for an Italian restaurant to eat at. I read the reviews and decided to book a table. The restaurant has paid a lot of attention to furnishings and decor and looks really nice and comfortable. Service was impeccable...

Excellent authentic Italian food in an environment that feels as if we were abroad! Charming Alex(owner & chef), was available for advice! This was an event visiting La Bottega, not just a meal! And save room for a dessert! Ask to the the desert trolley...

I booked La Bottega on the basis that it was close to Funny Girls where we were going for my friends birthday celebration. What an absolute find. We had different dishes for our mains and all were excellent. Dessert table looked delicious but only 2...

The best Italian restaurant in Blackpool by far and maybe in the North West. Always excellent. It's not just great food it is a passion for serving excellent food time after time that makes the difference.

My wife and myself visited La Bottega on a Saturday evening 22nd july 2023. Immediately the waiters were very welcoming and showed us to our seats. We were given our menus and wine lists and were surprised at how reasonable the prices were. We opted...

After being recommended by friends we had hoped for a pleasant dining experience but sadly that was in short supply. The staff were nice and had ample opportunity to look after our needs as we were the only patrons for most of our meal. We...

Found this little gem for dinner with friends. Made very welcome by all the staff all evening who were very obliging. Excellent prosecco and all the food was very tasty and reasonably priced . Well worth a visit.

Friendly. Traditional. Independent. Excellent. If you’re visiting Blackpool, pop in here, I don’t think that you’d regret it.

Lovely Italian restaurant, serving excellent pasta dishes and wonderful garlic breads, good service and very reasonable prices for both food and wine.

Unreal service from a young lad called Domi, he made sure we had a great experience and ensured everything was all spot on with our meals, full of friendly and helpful staff, would recommend for a meal with family, a great quality yet affordable option

La bottega is one of the best Italian restaurants in blackpool, the food is delicious. The atmosphere is amazing, will definitely be returning

Well Done Alex and your awesome team, we had a fabulous night!! Prawns perfect! Fillet Steak... Melt in your mouth!! Cannolis a sweet teat! Customer Service second to none! You did us proud tonight!! Huge Thank you from Vinci!!

I really recommend La bottega in blackpool, the food it’s 10/10 from the started until the dessert, the owner Alex makes you feel like at home, i wanna go back to blackpool just to go and dine there again! Thank you :)

We were looking forward to visit. If you can’t even bother to update your opening hours on your own web page, it really says all about how much you care about the customers.

Return here each time I visit the area. Alex and his team are simply the best. Fantastic food and wine. Staff so friendly. What more could you want. See you again soon.x

Visited as a family of 3. Lovely pasta and garlic bread. Puddings are good, served to choose from 80s style on a trolly. They did forget one that we ordered though which was a shame. Recommend.

Went for dinner with my wife, her brother and her partner. The food was excellent and the staff were all brilliant. When we came to pay their card machine did nt work and all the local cash points had been vandalized they agreed that we...

Without spending ages tapping this out on my mobile I just want to say this was our 2nd visit after we came a year ago on a similar mini break. The food was just as beautiful if not even tastier than last year. My wife...

Lovely ambience, warm welcome, delicious food. A real little gem amongst all the fish and chip shops and kebab houses. Fresh seafood spaghetti was amazing!

We ate in a family group of 4 adults, a 5 year-old and a toddler. They thoughtfully brought out the children’s food first and their food was freshly cooked mini versions of the adult menu. Our food was excellent. Very authentic flavour and really enjoyable....

Warm welcome, tasty timely served food with excellent service from the young man covering the tables on his own (as we had an early service). Would highly recommend and we will be back. Cjk Armstrong

We scoped this restaurant out before we went to Blackpool for our 28th Wedding Anniversary- it was absolutely amazing - the food,service, staff couldn’t have been better- highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that likes Italian/Mediterranean food

Went here early on a Saturday evening. Really nice staff, great food and great value. Will definitely be back.

Once you get over your need for Fish & Chips in Blackpool, you will want to check this place out. Small family-run Italian restaurant. The friendliness and service from the staff were impeccable. The drinks were great (try their version of the White Russian). The...

Had the pleasure of dining here again on our most recent visit to Blackpool and it never disappoints. Outstanding service, knowledgeable staff and exquisite food. Such a classy restaurant and will certainly visit again on our next trip there.

Tried this amazing restaurant for the first time. Amazing food and drinks! The service was fantastic both were lovely! Would definitely recommend and come back again!

The worst pizza ever. I ordered a Diavola and couldn’t taste anything just chilly. It was poured with chilli paper. And I think it was the owner tried to change me more than what it was in the menu. Never again.

Visited as a party of 8 and everyone loved their food - very accommodating for the kids. The place is tucked away but is well worth a visit. Proper authentic Italian food. It’s a small place with a lovely vibe. We will be back next...

Very accommodating and friendly! All my group were really pleased with the food and we will definitely return! The profiteroles were a highlight and I recommend the lobster pasta. Please visit you won’t be disappointed.

We were just a walk-in at this restaurant and they could not do enough for us! The food was great and authentic. The dessert tray was insane I wanted it all! When I’m Blackpool again will definitely visit.

Amazing food great staff and a good price. We come at least once a week would definitely recommend a visit it can get busy so book in advance

This is truly a hidden gem in Blackpool. The attention to detail in the decor but more importantly the food is fantastic. Everything freshly made (and you can see the chefs during the cooking in the kitchen) The lamb chops in rosemary were superb tonight...

Incredible place. The food was amazing and one of the nest tiramisus I have ever had! The guys were really friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants a real taste of Italy in a quiet setting
