Bottega Chevron Village — Restaurant in Gold Coast City

After a movie, we were looking for a place who's kitchen was open around about 8.45. So we basically found this superb restaurant on our way home! We asked the waitress and was delightfully surprised to see that the kitchen was in fact open. It was a Friday night. No I'm not a foodie but after this meal I took a photo of the menu so I could let you know exactly what we had. Finding this restaurant was our first surprise, the second was our meal! OMG it was absolutely sensational! My husband ordered the Risotteria (Risotto), the Capasante Spinachi e Zafferano (Tasmanian Scallops, spinach, saffron and Parmigiano) and said it was absolutely fabulous! I ordered Filetto di Vitello Ripieno (Veal Tenderloin stuffed with wild mushrooms wrapped in prosciutto and crumbled Milanese style with a duck skin butter sauce. Oh my goodness this superb dish was so elegantly served with two round disks of veal with mushrooms wrapped in prosciutto sitting in a superb creamy butter sauce. Its been a long time since I've had something so deliciously tasty. Every morsel was incredible! It was served with their classic Italian Potatoes which were roasted with garlic and also delicious and crunchy! We also ordered Insalata Caprese - Slices of truss tomatoes, Basil, Stracciatella mozzarella, EVO, 1912 mother musk balsamic. We thought it could not get better then ordered and shared the Creme' Brûlée al Cloccolato con Pera al Chianti (Chocolate creme Brûlée with oven baked vincotto strawberries. It was the smoothest Brûlée we've ever had, heaven on a spoon! If you want a divine meal we would highly recommend this excellent and elegant restaurant! The waitress's were so lovely and Sandra the Hostess was gorgeous. 10/10 perfection! Unfortunately I didn't take any photos as we were too busy savouring every morsel. Thank you Bottega for a superb...

We were heading to the Gold Coast and decided to stop at Chevron Village for a quick bite. Bottega had been recommended to us before, but we'd never gotten around to trying it.

Upon arrival, we checked out the menu which offered a delightful mix of dishes in classic Italian style. It was 6:50 pm on a Saturday.

Sandra greeted us warmly and mentioned that the restaurant was fully booked, with patrons expected to arrive soon. However, she was gracious about it.

Just as she began suggesting alternative places, they received a cancellation. Like our already perfect day, our luck persisted and we were offered a great spot outside.

Upon being seated, our kids were given colouring pages to keep them engaged. They were treated with kindness, a refreshing experience as some restaurants aren't as accommodating to children – a stance we've never quite understood.

For the kids, we ordered a pizza which was modified to have a milder salami, ensuring it wasn’t too spicy for them. For starters, we chose the crab bruschetta and sardines. Our main course was a seafood pizza, generously topped with prawns. The highlight of the night, however, was the roasted half duckling. After being satisfied, there was still enough left for both kids to help finish.

Highly recommend Bottega for its impeccable service, great food, and...

Just like when I was born, this was a happy mistake..

The delivery driver gave us somebody else's order. I'm definitely not complaining though, even though I had my heart set on the meatballs I received the Rigatoni pasta instead.

When I called, the lady who answered knew exactly what happened. She was great about it too.

Some things are just out of their control once it leaves with the delivery app drivers.

I hope the person who got my meatballs enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed their Rigatoni pasta. When they say slow cooked for 6hrs, it really is.

My brother ordered the chicken Calzone, he was impressed. Their pizza dough is very unique too, in a great way. It's hard to explain so it's best to give it a go for yourself

You must give this place a try, you won't regret it!

Thanks for the great feed!

I'll add in, it's hard to take a decent picture of pasta once the cheese is added...
