While we take note of seating preferences, we cannot guarantee specific table assignments due to the nature of the restaurant, limited space, and the open kitchen concept. However, we will make every effort to seat you comfortably and provide an enjoyable dining experience

Our outdoor dining area is available daily, providing a unique experience where you can savor your meal comfortably under the building shade.

If you need to cancel or make changes to your reservation, please contact us as soon as possible.

Cancellations made within 24 hours of the booking will not be accepted for any reason.

CHILD POLICY
At Bottarga, we aim to provide an intimate and relaxed dining experience for all our guests in our dining room. To better accommodate families with children, we recommend booking the early dining time slot between 5:00 pm and 5:30 pm, or opting for outdoor seating if available. We kindly ask that parents or guardians supervise their children to ensure a pleasant atmosphere for all guests. If your child has specific dietary needs or preferences, please inform us in advance, and we will do our best to accommodate them.
Please note that due to our intimate setting and the nature of the restaurant, the dining experience may not be suitable for all children. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
