Chi siamo

About

Bottegas is two Italian restaurants in Warsaw — on ul. Oboźna 9 and ul. Francuska 24 — founded by three friends from Italy: Antonio and Roberto from Naples, and Matteo from Tuscany. Our rule fits in three words: Semplice. Fresco. Italiano vero.

Semplice

In Italian cooking, less is more. The best dishes happen when you let the ingredients speak — so the menu is short, and every dish has a reason to be on it.

Fresco

The dough matures for 48 hours, the ragù cooks for 4 hours every day, and pasta and desserts are made in house. Pizza never waits — it goes from the oven straight to the table.

Italiano vero

We buy what you'd buy in Italy: San Marzano DOP tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala campana DOP, pecorino romano DOP, Prosciutto di Parma aged 24 months, Sicilian liqueurs from small producers.

Tre amici

Three co-founders. Friends first.

Bottegas was founded by three Italians: Antonio and Roberto from Naples, and Matteo from Tuscany. We were friends long before we were partners — and we still are.

What brings us together is a passion for real Italian cooking: done the original way, with the best ingredients — the kind you find in Italy in the restaurants where the locals eat.

We want Bottegas to be a place where you enjoy your food, relaxed, in a warm and cosy room. On Oboźna you're right in the centre, yet hidden from the traffic and the bustle of the city. On Francuska, in elegant Saska Kępa, it's more intimate.

We brought it to Warsaw, to two restaurants: on Oboźna and on Francuska. Naples is the home of pizza, so pizza comes first here — but the kitchen is the real thing. Semplice. Fresco. Italiano vero.
