What People Are Saying About Botticelli's On South Congress

In Short – Tucked into the heart of South Congress Avenue, the restaurant's picture windows provide the perfect vantage point to watch the parade of passers-by. Guests opt to sit in the colorfully small and active dining room or the more subdued outdoor patio garden. Lunch offerings include salads and sandwiches, including the Chicago hoagies served on big, whole wheat bunds flown in twice a week from the Windy City. Dinner favories include striped bass, fresh gnocchi made daily and the decadent veal.

Fun Beer Garden, Delicious Pasta and Italian Wine
by CPO
As you step in the door, you notice this place is a little classier than most of the other restaurants on South Congress. The small, intimate space makes you ready for a dining experience.
We started with the Porcini Crusted Sea Scallops which were amazing! You will want to savor every bite. We also paired some of their delicious Italian red wine with the Mushroom Pansotti. The bread and olive oil is so good that you'll want to clean the plate.
Plus, they have a great beer garden with happy hour specials and music for casual nights in SoCo.
- Pros: Every bite makes you smile
- Cons: You pay for what you get!

Fun Fine Dining on South Congress
by PaddyMcP
Botticelli's is the closest thing you'll find to a fine dining experience in a quaint setting on South Congress. Excellent food, great wine, and a more upscale (but still welcoming) clientele can be expected at this Italian Restaurant.
We tried the Scallops for an appetizer-- they were great. Served with sliced apples and creme fresh, they were a tasty way to start the meal. The mushroom pansotti and butternut squash ravioli were both GREAT. Also, the serving sizes are just right-- not too big to overly stuff you, but enough for a good meal.
Botticelli's is the perfect spot if looking for a fine meal at a reasonable cost on South Congress.
- Pros: Excellent Food - Reasonable Cost
- Cons: .. ?

I've had a run of bad luck lately when it comes to dining out but enjoyed dinner here last weekend. It's nice to be able to make a reservation, food was very good, service was also good. Great atmosphere, too. Only challenge is it gets very loud so can be challenging to hear the other people at your table. I'd definitely recommend this place.
- Pros: Food, cocktails, atmosphere
- Cons: Noisy
The Details on Botticelli's On South Congress
Save Time:
Given the small interior dining room, it's best to call ahead for a reservation if you are in a hurry, particularly on a Thursday or weekend evening.
Where to Sit:
For a quieter table, site outside when there isn't live music. If people-watching is your goal, opt for the interior with a view of the street.
