An absolutely amazing dining experience from start to finish! The food was phenomenal—every bite bursting with flavor that was truly out of this world. The ambience was beautifully designed and so relaxing, with the perfect balance of elegance and comfort. Having a DJ added such a great touch, and the music was fantastic—not too loud, so we could still enjoy conversation. What really stood out was the level of care and accommodation from the chefs. They went above and beyond to cater to dietary needs, providing delicious brown gluten-free bread for me while my friend enjoyed regular bread. And the gluten-free desserts? Simply incredible! I can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for top-tier food, service, and atmosphere, this is the spot!

This place is amazing! Came here for lunch. The prices are great for the food. The quality is top notch. The ingredients are fresh & so tasty. Get the risotto rice balls! You won’t regret it. The steak sandwich was properly seasoned. My friend got the fish tacos and thought the portions and flavors were on point. I will be back. Thank you Sergio and Maria. Maria gave us number 1 service. Sergio, the chef, prepared us such a delicious meal. Thank you a million! My new dinner spot.

Did not know what to expect coming here but was blown away! The restaurant itself is gorgeous and beautifully decorated. Our server was very attentive as well. The chef is very passionate and you can see the love he puts into his cooking. Everything was delicious! We will definitely be back!

Stopped here for lunch with my lady after seeing a post on Instagram. Was TOTALLY blown away. Walked into the back garden esq room and was floored with how nice it was. My waitress Maria was super attentive and extremely professional. Serge the chef came out and introduced himself which was also an awesome touch along with providing us a free appetizer. We got the short rib steam buns, lamb burger, and beet arugula salad. Everything was delicious! As a parting gift we were given a free mock-tail and tiramisu. Incredible experience and will definitely be back!

I had the pleasure of dining at BOTA and I can confidently say it’s a fantastic addition to the local dining scene. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting—modern yet cozy, with just the right mix of elegance and comfort. The service was outstanding. Our waiter Sergio was attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the food and guest experience. Every recommendation from our server was spot-on, and we never felt rushed or overlooked. Now, the food—absolutely delicious! Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. From the starters to dessert, it was clear the kitchen pays great attention to quality and creativity. Whether you’re into bold flavors or classic favorites with a twist, there’s something here to love. I’m so glad to see a place like this open up nearby. I’ll definitely be back—and bringing friends next time!

Bota is a newer restaurant to the island with great ambiance, service and good food and a DJ. Carlos the chef was attentive and came out to our table a few times to ask how dinner was. Our waiter Sergio was amazing he didn’t miss a beat and he even surprised my husband for his birthday dinner. The bao buns were delicious, the cacio e Pepe fritters were so good. My husband had the tuna tartare and loved it. I also had the lasagna which was filling and delicious and my husband the lobster risotto he enjoyed it. Overall good experience would come again.

I went to BOTA yesterday for my sisters birthday. First, the staff is welcoming and super kind. We dropped off a cake earlier that day and they did not charge us (like other places) and took great care of the cake. The food was absolutely delicious. There was not one thing that me and my family did not devour lol. For Staten Island, it was 100% giving manhattan vibes. The atmosphere was fun and there was good music. The octopus, crispy rice tuna, Bronzino, and lasagna are a MUST! Sangria was also bomb. One thing I will say is the service was a bit slower paced. Granted, we had a reservation for 9pm on a Wednesday and we were the last ones there. 100% recommend and I will be back!!!
