Bottega

Bottega has been a cornerstone of Melbourne’s dining scene since 2002, cherished by city workers, wine lovers and long lunchers alike. Nestled on leafy Bourke Hill, its intimate dining room featuring curved leather booths, timber accents and touches of marble, exudes timeless charm. Whether it’s a romantic evening, a pre-theatre dinner or a business lunch, Bottega offers warmth, refinement, and an enduring sense of occasion.

Head Chef Axel Archenti’s kitchen continues to impress with a changing seasonal menu, showcasing house-made pasta and modern Italian classics. An award-winning wine list, anchored in Italian varieties and featuring standout Australian producers, complements every dish.

Bottega’s private dining rooms, overlooking Bourke Street, are the ideal setting for business lunches, special events or intimate gatherings.

With its popular express pasta lunch and pre-theatre menu offering, Bottega remains one of Melbourne’s most dependable and delicious destinations.
