We had a wonderful night at Bottarga. We had some of the smaller snacks to start; the snapper/avocado/herring roe was just delicious as were the Wagyu croquettes and the potato bread. We then had an entree and main, the presentation and tastes of all of our choices was outstanding. We loved seeing the chef, Federico cooking in the open kitchen and Somi giving us her advice on their extensive wine list. The service is friendly and welcoming.
