Great spot with homemade pasta in an intimate setting. We were a party of 6 and tried a lot of different items. All yummy!

On par with the restaurants in Rome that we dined in. Definitely the best pasta in the East Bay located in the Rockridge neighborhood. Plenty of street parking too. We had the Pasta Alla Ligure, Scarpinocc de Pare and the Tagliatelle Al Cinghiale. All were out of this world incredible.

I came here on a date Friday night and we were lucky to grab the last open table before a waitlist started. The staff was super friendly and attentive and was able to make excellent wine recommendations to pair with our dishes. The food portions were just right. The food itself was a bit lacking in depth, but still very good overall!

Felicità. Eleganza. Apprezzamento. Happiness, elegance, and appreciation are the three words that I would use sparingly to describe the experience that I had with my best friend at Belotti Ristorante e Botegga yesterday night. Starting off, the lovely hostess guided my friend and I to our table, where we met with our main host, David. After deciding on what we wanted to order, we were presented with a phenomenal Spritz Veneziano, commonly known as an Aperol Spritz (10/10), I highly recommend. My best friend (who's birthday it was) and I ordered Battuta, Gnocci alla Bolognese, Anatra, and Panna Cotta. Starting with the Battuta, you feel like you were taken on a delicate trip through a layer of subtle yet pronounced cohesive textures and flavors. The truffle caviar, in tandem with the quail yolk and carasau made the flavors of the beef tartare more pronounced and flavorful. These ingredients were married on the plate and you felt a freshness from each element with every bite. Moving onto the Gnocci alla Bolognese... my goodness. This dish literally made us absolutely melt--just like each pillowy bundle of gnocci that we put in our mouth. We were transported to the most pure and peaceful ends of our soul. With each bite we closed our eyes and experienced the defined depth of flavor...tasting the warm purity of the bolognese meat sauce, the softness of the potato gnocci (that quite literally melts in your mouth), and the sharpness of the grada padano. I could tell that there was so much thought and love that came with this dish. We were sad with each bite, as we didn’t want that experience to end. Next, we have another main course... The Anatra. The seared duck breast lined beautifully across the plate with little caramelized and intact cipolline dancing along the top. With each bite, you can fully experience the tenderness of the duck breast, with an element of subtle crunch due to the perfect sear. The caramelized cipolline complimented the duck extremely well and was also a main character in this dish. The purple treviso contrasted the sweetness of the honey in the dish and provided a bitter element overall. It wasn't our favorite part of the dish, but it did serve a purpose. Overall, we enjoyed the cleanliness and elegance in every element of the dish. Finally, our experience ended with the most intense and creamy panna cotta, which is the sheer epitome of all that is pure and good on this earth. With every spoon, you felt the flavors of the vanilla and raspberry dance on your tongue...bouncing between sharp, yet subtle, tartness from the red raspberry and creamy, rich, silky and smooth white vanilla cream. This desert didn't overwhelm you or make you feel bad for eating it. It was the season finale of this experience and it reminded you to stay present to enjoy every single bite. A refreshingly perfect way to end a wonderful dining experience. Overall, Belotti Ristorante e Botegga exceeded any and all expectations that I had... My best friend loved every moment and I am so glad that we had such a phenomenal dining experience. Each dish played their own role and added a new defining level to dining. This is indefinitely our favorite spot in the Bay Area, and we will be back (hopefully they'll be ready for us aswell).
