Bottega Italia - Temecula

Terrible dining experience. I made a reservation, but when I arrived, they seated us outside without any waitress to attend to us. We waited for 20 minutes without even being offered water. The servers completely ignored us. We ultimately decided to leave. I highly recommend avoiding this restaurant.

I have to say, it was one of the best cannolis I've ever tasted! The texture was perfection, and the filling was absolutely phenomenal. The espresso was equally impressive, made from high-quality coffee beans that delivered a rich flavor. The barista even recommended a different type of cannoli for my next visit! While I plan to come back for a meal, I highly recommend stopping here for a delicious coffee and dessert if you're in the area.

I planned to return the following evening. This time, I called and was informed they indeed had gift certificates. However, when I arrived, I was again told they were out. I mentioned my previous experience and that I had called ahead to confirm, but all I received was a half-hearted apology and the question, "Who did you speak to?" The manager explained they hadn't received any more certificates the night before and didn't know when they would be in stock. I was really disappointed that their lack of communication prevented me from purchasing the gift card. In light of this, I decided to take my business elsewhere and bought a gift card from another small local business that had better customer service. I will definitely miss dining here!

We were out shopping in old town, taking in the incredible vibe that this adorable town offers. We just happened to walk in front of Bottega Spirita and I instantly fell in love with everything that constitutes this establishment. The ceiling was unique, the floor, the velvet green chairs everything was just so on point. Not to mention they were playing some of the best music. We decided to have a pizza which was fired up and their brick oven to perfection. couple of little black marks, but I took them off. their pumpkin spice latte. Winner! The girl sitting next to us had the cannolis and said they were absolutely to die, for we simply didn't have room left, but told ourselves the next time we come into town. This is where we are headed back to. There's good street parking very dog friendly indoor outdoor space . Tons of delicious food to select from the menu. Lots of great pastries and did I mention they have a full bar.

I only tried desserts, specifically gelato and the pistachio cake and both were so delicious. These desserts were truly flavorful and the presentation was great, too. The menu itself appeared to have a variety of pizzas and Italian dishes. Hopefully I can make a stop here again soon for a meal.The interior was clean and cute! From the outside, the restaurant wouldn't appear to be anything special and it's quiet surprising how cute it looks inside. If you have kids, I feel outdoors might be best as the seating indoors are chairs and not very comfortable for kids. It is gated outside (yay! .
