La Bottega in Kensington and Chelsea

Bondad: esta es una lección sobre cómo NO hacerse cargo de un café exitoso. Deshágase del personal regular y amigable y reemplácelo por trabajadores transitorios claramente mal pagados. Cambie el maravilloso café al menor costo, los granos de mala calidad. Reducir la calidad de los alimentos. Deja que la decoración se deteriore. Molestar a los lugareños. Bien hecho equipo, rompiste todo lo que Fabio y Pepe construyeron. . . .

I ate this morning an excellent meat lasagna and meatballs in tomato sauce. Everythings great. The employees were very nice and friendly. I’ll return very soon !

Para un café en una zona exclusiva y cara de Londres, esperaba mucho más. El lugar estaba muy sucio. Los gabinetes del enfriador estaban asquerosos, enlucidos en grasa y mugre. La puerta de entrada parecía tener manchas de café en la pintura, las esquinas parecían como si no se hubieran limpiado en 10 años.El tipo que trabajaba allí hoy trató de disuadirnos diciendo que se estaban cerrando en 20 minutos (solo queríamos una taza de té). Apenas hizo contacto visual. Le sonreí educadamente y él casi me ignoró. Mi esposo pidió un pastel que tenía un sabor rancio y horrible y el té era débil y sin sabor y vino servido en una taza de café.En general, terrible lugar. Parece como si se hubieran rendido. No se moleste: camine 5 minutos hacia Victoria y vaya a Daylsford Organic, que está impecable, el servicio es amable y la comida es deliciosa.

Came in here with a friend for a takeaway coffee. The cappuccino was very nice. Service was a little slow and could have been more friendly.

Hemos comido el desayuno aquí un número de veces de los últimos 3 años. La comida es buena, pero se limita a robar y huevos o hervidos con tocino italiano que es tan cercano a un desayuno preparado como se dan.El interior es muy estrecha desde la perspectiva de estar pero hay algunas mesas en el exterior para el hardy con la comida si lo deseas.El personal es italiano, así que a veces entendida puede ser un desafío. Pequeñas cosas como llevar cuchillos y tenedores o intentar conseguir una cucharita para huevos duros puede ser difícil (ir a servirse uno mismo no molestar por ellos para comprobar si todo está bien no).Hacen una gran para llevar el comercio de café, por lo que a veces su pedido pueden perderse. El café es bueno, hecho a la orden con una presentación agradable si vas por una mezcla de leche (con leche etc. ).Soy arreglé para que huevos pasados por agua que viene con unas tostadas crujiente, lo cual es perfecto para mojar. Señor Feliz normalmente tiene el huevo escalfado, que también es buena.Tienen algunas opciones muy bonito delicatessen para comer, así como algunos pasteles.Vale la pena probar no esperes gran servicio de mesa de los servidores aburridos.

Needed a place to meet on way to Chelsea Flower show and this was convenient. Very busy so service slow but coffee was very good and croissant was excellent, huge and cheap.

Me pasó por un plato de pasta para en húmedo el domingo por la tarde. La pasta especial diario no estaba disponible, así que opté por el estofado de cordero con patatas asadas.Lo que llegó fue mal superficial, cálida en algunos lugares fríos en otros y de lo que sabía de patatas asadas no microondas.Visita para café y bocadillos sólo diría

Great place. Open all day. Always welcoming. Always good Italian food without the frills or silly added expenses. Love it.

My wife and I popped in here for morning coffee and enjoyed a small but good quality cappuccino with a large biscuit at an outside table. We came back for lunch but there was a rather small selection of sandwiches so we went elsewhere.

Change of owners has seen a drop in quality and service. Used to be a great spot for a continental breakfast with great Italian coffee and friendly staff. The staff are somewhat amatuer and trading on past glories.

No garlic bread, no eggs, no.... for Saturday brunch. No apologies Food provided did not seem as per menu or what was on display. Main door did not close without help so cold with cold weather outside

Mozzarella and ham in ciabatta not of good quality - maybe because it was the end of the day that it seemed a little sad.

Rara vez paseo por este poco de carretera y así no nos dimos cuenta de esto de la vieja escuela italiana Delicatessen estaba aquí. El café estaba muy bien hecha y el albaricoque crostata era delicioso y las tartas de aspecto casero. La comida era buena y no demasiado cara, especialmente por la ubicación.

I have been a customer of this coffee shop for over 10 years and although it still serves good quality coffee, the place as a whole has really gone downhill. There has been a change of Management recently and the service is extremely poor. It's a great location with outside seating on a sunny day (rare to find) but the place is seriously tired and needs a complete makeover with both the interior and the staff.

Ein kleiner Platz, aber mit dem besten Kaffee , vor allem der Espresso. Die Bar ist klein aber gemütlich. man...

He sido un cliente habitual de este lugar desde su inauguración, y con profundo pesar He atestiguado su degradación a lo largo de los años desde una isla verdadera de especialidades italianas en Londres con un servicio cálido y amable, con un nivel de calidad...

Fuimos en un café de la mañana del sábado. Tuve que esperar a ser reconocida por el hombre de detrás del mostrador. Finalmente tomó mi pedido. El barista parecía ser completamente distraído, tomó una llamada telefónica en vez de hacer el café. Finalmente conseguimos nuestro...

Servicio de desayuno agradable necesita mejorar. Mesa de asientos al aire libre agradable ver el mundo pasar. . . . . Agradable para un bocadillo rápido cuando en movimiento. No volvería aquí para la cena, ya que es más un delicatessen.

A very popular coffee, pastry and deli shop, this small but busy place has tiny inside tables and small outside tables, and does a nice take-away business. The deli selections are varied and delicious. It is decidedly casual.Breakfast is light-to-moderate.We found the service to be adequate - nice folks.Both their coffee-making machine and credit card machine are iffy, or at least were on our repeated visits.If you are in the area, a nice stop.

Being hungry and nearby around noon urged us to look around for a restaurant with nice food. We stumbled upon this Italian specialties shop and first continued our route because of al the traffic noise. After only walking a hundred steps my wife and looked at each other and decided to go back... and a good choice that was. The place has plenty of tasty and original Italian salads, fish, meat and other goodies. Prices were very reasonable, quality and taste top shelf... a place we will return to the next coming days. You want a taste of Italy... this is the place!

We popped into this café prior to our visit to the Chelsea Flower Show as the food looked really appetising on the deli counter and the place was packed which we thought was a good sign. Unfortunately we were disappointed. The service was chaotic, we had to order our drinks at one till and our food at another as the waiters seemed to be too busy to take our order. I ordered salmon and potatoes but unfortunately my salmon was very dry and the potatoes really oily. My husband ordered tuna couscous salad which he felt was overpriced and a little uninspiring. I went to pay for our meal and they only charged us for drinks, I then pointed out that we had food that we needed to pay for and the waitress couldn't understand why it wasn't on the bill, there was no record of what we'd ordered so in desperation only charged us for one meal. I was more than happy to pay for the 2 meals but she didn't seem to want to take the money for some reason...I also think they could do with investing in better seating, as someone with joint problems the chairs are very uncomfortable and wouldn't encourage me to linger over lunch or order another coffee... All in all unsatisfactory, maybe we made the wrong choices but I don't think we'd risk it again.

Cozy place to have an italian coffee or a snack. Their coffee is excellent and they offer a great range of cakes. Lovely place for coffee hour!

Very friendly Italian deli/cafe/barSuperb Aperol spritzExtensive and reasonably priced breakfast/brunch menu

New to Chelsea we came here for coffee and it's one of the best coffees in Chelsea. Served extra hot and done to your liking. We had to wait a while thou to order so I didn't give it a 5 star rating. For babies they serve a baby chino free with a biscuit. The place is very small!

Went Saturday 11th March for a quick light lunch. Food was fresh - green salad with black olives, squid, tomatoes and celery. Had a mozzarella cheese and pulse cake with it. Weather was good so sat outside.Wine and coffee were excellent. Overall a little expensive for a quick lunch but very good.

For a relaxed good value meal in the middle of the day sample the delights of this outpost of Italy just off Sloane Square! You really can imagine you have been transported back to Italy with the surroundings, food and service all exuding that certain charm. Best cappuccinos in town? Who needs chocolate sprinkles when the crema is that good? Sitting in Spring sunshine adds to the Italian experience...

I have used la Bottega since the day it opened - admittedly it has changed ownership in the past few years - however where I once went twice daily, I now infrequently visit on the off-chance of a return to its early glory days.........Today I went for lunch, to take back to my desk. Chicken Cacciatore & spinach looked tempting.....I should also add, its very tasty........BUT 1 leg, five olives, a 2cm cube of pepper skin and a quarter of a bag of wilted spinach has just set me back an outrageous £11.45!!!!!!!Are you totally mad la Bottega...........whats-more its not until I reach my desk and unparcel the meagre offering that I discover this absurd price to portion disparityIrritated.

Muchos fines de semana nos acercamos para disfrutar de una tabla de embutido Italiano o un sandwich. El cafe es también excelente (Illy)

for me, they serve the best cappuccino in Londonhowever their little biscuits at the counter are too pricey for what they are

I stopped for a bite to eat. My lunch was great it was called carso it was sough dough bread roll with mortadella, beef tomatoes and provolone cheese. It was very good. The staff look after you really well amazing service. The coffee is good too. Go on pop in and give it ago.

The place is a small cafe and delicatessen where eat some italian charcuterie, cheses and other hot and cold plates, expecially during lunch time. The staff is friendly and polite, the food is good but the quality of products could be better. The service isn't really fast and the waiteress forgot twice to bring us the drinks, but she apologised with a discount on the bill, a professional gesture.

Walked in here with hungry tummies! Authentic Italian food (pasta, panini, lots of sweet choices), perfectly smooth cappuccino and friendly, all Italian staff. A handful of tiny tables. 3 happy costumers who will return. Quite spacious outdoor seating area.

L endroit est géniale . Bien placer , il y a des sandwich avec du pain super bon , des salades, tomates et bourrata excellents.Ils servent aussi les pâtes du jour , des salades , escalopes milanaises, sincèrement super bon et prix super correctes.Le personnel est vraiment super sympa.

Da buoni italiani l'accoglienza è stata ottima , il cibo altrettanto , una bel pezzo d'Italia a Londra da ritornarci

Lovely quality authentic Italian , only called in for a quick refresh after an early morning start - with the added excitement of David Beckham and his two boys strolling in for a takeaway brekky... cool place to hangout ! Unassuming and pleasant

We stop by this nice restaurant for a coffee. The staff are Italian and many of the clients are also Italian. Great place for take-out. Great service. Will come back. Highly recommended

Always call in for breakfast and this place is consistently good.Gets very busy but turnaround is fast!

Walking back to Sloane's Square Underground station after a long day at the Chelsea Flower Show, we found a little Italian café, La Bottega, to sit and enjoy a cup of well brewed espresso and a sweet treat. We went back at the end of our second day at Chelsea, too. It is small and you may have to wait for a seat inside or a table outside. It’s worth it. The coffee is brewed in true Italian style and the yummy Italian cakes and biscuits reward you for a full day strolling through the flower show. On the down side, the man who seats customers and manages orders was unfriendly and unhelpful. He acted as if customers were an intrusion into his busy life. He needs to remember that it’s the customers who make the café a success. At one stage, as we waited to pay the bill, he simply put his hand up in my face to indicate I should wait until he is ready. Then, he looked at the bill and told me the total I had to pay. I then pointed out that the bill was incorrect. All of a sudden, his arrogance turned to an apologetic statement. Another customer who understood Italian reprimanded him and the man behind the counter serving her for making disparaging remarks in Italian about her when they thought she couldn’t understand Italian. If the manager added some customer service to his arrogance, the whole experience might be pleasant for everyone. Despite this, La Bottega is a slightly crammed café with loads of personality and quality Italian food and espresso.

Staff gently friendly and a good quality food . Burrata with rocket pomodorino and shave Parmesan is amazing. I tell everybody have to try it

Called in here and sat outside to enjoy a lovely range of antipasti with Prosecco and peroni. Superb Mortadella and Prosciutto, lovely breads and oils. The deli is wonderful, we bought most of their stock of Stracchino Cheese having found out the day before that it was unavailable in Harrods Food Hall! Run by a lovely Italian family

Sat outside for breakfast. Nice place with nice staff. Granola with fresh fruit and yoghurt was a healthy option along with my poached eggs on toast. Well worth a visit.

I went here on a Saturday morning. It was a sunny day and didn't want to walk much further. This was the first place I came across and frankly I wish I had kept walking! I think the overwhelming theme of disappointment was with service- which seems to be a trend reading these reviews.The waitress abruptly asked me if I wished to order to which I requested a menu to which she looked a little bemused. This level of service continued for the whole visit....Rather than going through the long list of faults with the service, of which there were many I think it is better to point out the fact there is clearly parallels with this review and others- I think what needs pointing out is that companies that refuse to listen to feedback cease to exist, maybe that would be for the best!

Love this little place for a great salad or sandwich and a glass of wine. Service was good even though they are very busy. Can't find a seat? They do take out.

Had a really bad service here were though it could have been a one of , no one acknowledge the mistake made and apologized.

An authentic Italian deli serving takeaway food which you can also eat there. A meal for two with wine was 36 GBP, good value to me.I could not find this on tripadvisor mobile app but was able to write a review after googlingbottega lower Sloane street site:tripadvisor.com

I love La Bottega!!! I discovered it at the beginning of the month and go nearly every day, its great for coffee and a croissant, lunch, dinner and an evening drink. I have never tasted such good coffee (and I am a very fussy coffee drinker). All the staff are really friendly and helpful!!

if you are going for something quick and not special go ahead otherwise go else where. Staff very friendly though and delivers great service

Just had a great experience in catering from la Bottega on Pont Street... Had 15 guests at home and decided to go for traditional Italian antipasti and main course. Food was delicious ( try the Beef stew!) and very nicely prepared and delivered right on time. I just had to uncover the trays and warm the stew. Sweets are to die for. People on Pont street are polite and smiley.

We went there for breakfast. We asked for the menu and the waiter informed us that they don't use menus...! She said that they have sandwiches and boiled, scrabble eggs.I didn't find something attractive for me, so I ordered just one cappuccino. A few minutes later we saw that other customers get toasted bread,croissants, selection of pastries... What a shame!!!! Good quality of food and coffee.

The Lower Sloane Street location is a great spot. Just to sit outside and watch people go by. The food is simple, delicious, quick and excellent value. Great desserts!

Very casual Italian cafe with great salads, sandwiches and coffee. Friendly staff- perfect for a casual afternoon snack or coffee, or lunch.

Popped in here to get a take away lunch for a day at Chelsea Flower Show.Such a fantastic choice of produce. Everything looked so fresh and appetising.We chose a premade ciabatta which was generous on filling and still fresh a couple of hours later when we wanted to eat it.A little piece of Italy. Lovely :)

Oltre alla qualità delle pietanze e alla bellezza tipica del posto, maggior apprezzamento per il personale molto professionale e allo stesso tempo affabile e accogliente. La gentilezza e il sorriso di Elena sono la ciliegina sulla torta. Posto da fermata obbligatoria.

Sono stato in questo locale per caso il giorno di Pasqua, il locale è una tipica tavola calda con prodotti italiani, personalmente abbiamo provato i peperoni ripieni molto buoni e un insalata di pollo onesta. Rapporto qualità prezzo ok. Se volete assaggiare panini o lasagne Italiane ve lo consiglio, ne avevano molte e diverse.

Siamo stati qui in cerca dei piatti della tradizione italiana e si deve dire che è stato tutto buonissimo dalla parmiggiana di melanzane alle meatballs...buono anche l'anti pasto di salumi ..Consigliato per chi vuol mangiare bene senza spendere troppo in ambiente casual

Came in here to share a bottle of wine with my partner after a day out in London. Whilst expensive the Pinot Grigio was faultless and the outdoor seating was very pleasant. Didn't try the food but it smelt amazing.

Only been here twice when staying in local area. Lovely little Italian that serves great anti-pasta. Rest of the food looks great although we haven't tried it. On both occasions we've sat outside with a bottle of excellent Prosecco and a mixed plate. Great Illy coffee too. Not the cheapest but seems genuine.

Perfect location for a lovely little deli. It is a shame that the service is appalling. The waitress was rude. We were still eating when she took the plate away for us. The Italian team made plenty of unnecessary comments in Italian about the guests possibly oblivious to the fact that a lot of people in the area speak more than one language. I mentioned to the manager that the waitress need to revisit what good service means and instead of apologising or simply showing some concern the manager didn't say anything. the waitress decided to shout at us because we mentioned about the poor service. Very poor attitude. Plenty of lovely places in the area so we will never bother to revisit this place.

I visited for a quick snack in a break between rehearsal and performance at the nearby Cadogan Hall. I had a piece of spinach and ricotta pie with salad and a small macchiato. I asked for the bill and was sent over to the counter. The total was £26! I was so taken aback I didn't even question it. The bill was not itemized but there were few customers in the restaurant. I was reminded of the one about the gorilla that walks into an Italian restaurant and orders a pie and a coffee. The waiter thinks: here's to make a bit of profit, these gorillas aren't noted for intelligence-so he asks him for £26. Later, he remarks to the gorilla, by way of conversation, "We don't see too many gorillas in here you know", and the gorilla says...

An excellent find! Traditional Italian deli with smallish seating area. Fabulous coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, excellent panini's and inviting salads. So good we returned the next day for breakfast! Prices are what you would expect to pay by Sloane Square. Would definitely go back.

I went there at 4.30 pm as i had half an hour to kill.I was told by rude guy behind the counter that the only thing available was a croissant.So i asked for that and a coffee.. I went and sat outside only to be served with a burnt crosisant.The waitress was enbrassed but the waitor was not... They bare arrogant and rude and i hope they go bankrupt

I knew it wouldn't be cheap what with the location and lack of menus.One tea, one cappuccino and a plate of luke warm pasta came to £17.80! The drinks were good

This shop/cafe serves the best coffee in the area and has a wonderful selection of salads,pastries and sandwiches.Also good Italian packaged goods and wines.Nice ambience and service.

La Bottega - although tight quarters, gets it done very well. Variety of sandwiches beyond basics with superb salad choices and reasonable wine/beverages. Staff is super accommodating. Went back for second visit on our 4 day stopover in London. Highly recommend.

If you're wandering around sloane Square grab a coffee here to pep you up along with an Italian treat.

If your in the area and fancy italian, I would say its worth a visit. Nice pasta and al fresco options
