Food Quality
Pros:
"All our food was fresh, hot, accurate, and delicious."
"The food was delicious as was the wine they served."
"Even on Valentine's day we had a delicious meal! My raviolis were so fresh and the meatballs were amazing."
"The stuffed meatballs were terrific (one is about the size of a softball), as were the rice balls...and eggplant parmigiana."
"Botto’s atmosphere is extremely delightful and the food was out of this world."
"The pasta was so yummy and the meatballs were to die for."
"Our dinner was excellent. We started with the bacon wrapped shrimp & scallops and ended with bailey's coffee. And every bite was delicious."
Cons:
"The quality of food has diminished."
"The Pasta Carbonara was very dry and not creamy at all and the 'grilled chicken' was super dry and hard."
"Ordered the risotto with halibut stuffed with crab meat. Risotto came way too fast and was mushy like baby food."
"Have eaten there before. But today different experience. Had roast pork was dry and cold."
"The last chicken cutlet I happened to have on my plate was *very* undercooked."
"The meatballs (all 3) were black and rock hard. We couldn't eat them. They were burnt."
"It was the worst eggplant I’ve ever had. The eggplant was mushy, stringy & bitter."
Service
Pros:
"The service was attentive, friendly, and precise."
"Our server, Dominic, was wonderful. Not only did he meet all of our needs; he was incredibly attentive to everything."
"The waitstaff and food were exceptional."
"Our server, Reilly, handled our large party with ease and professionalism."
"The staff was phenomenal. Very friendly and attentive."
"Our waitress Shelby gave us top notch service. She would've received 10 stars from me if I could give it to her."
"The service was the best we have had since before covid thank you for continuing to be part of our enjoyable evenings."
Cons:
"I had to chase our waitress down inside to get my daughters’ dessert to go because we couldn’t take it anymore."
"The owner lady behind the counter was miserable and yelling at the help on more than one occasion."
"Service was a little slow but not terrible."
"We were constantly waiting and never received bread & butter until we asked and we finally got towards end of meal."
"Our waitress started out great, but then seemed to disappear towards the end of the meal."
"Took forever to order as the server kept ignoring us while obviously seeing us sitting without a water nor being helped for good amount of times."
"The restaurant was not busy at all but we sat at our table for 20 before walking out never got any service as we sat at the first table by the door."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Large outdoor table umbrellas & fans do help make the present restrictions bearable."
"Botto’s is one of the best local Italian restaurants in all of South Jersey."
"The decor is like your grandmother's favorite fancy restaurant, complete with all the oak panelling and whimsical italian sculptures and paintings to distract from the drop ceilings."
"Charming nonetheless."
"The atmosphere was just overall perfect."
"This place is very unique."
"It's a treat, and you'll enjoy the family atmosphere."
Cons:
"Restaurant was extremely loud. Noisy from others. It was so loud we could not have a conversation with each other at our table."
"We're seated in the bar part this time and did not enjoy it very much as was just too noisy to enjoy conversation."
"The dining room has extremely high ceilings, so sound just bounces around."
"It was FREEZING in the dining area where we were seated."
"It can get very noisy in the lounge."
"Unfortunately we were there when they were too busy to accommodate the amount of parties and regular dining customers."
"The atmosphere was so loud we literally had to yell our dinner conversation to each other."
Price
Pros:
"Read Keith Campbell's review about lamb chops and tried them. Got 5 in the order and they were the best I've had since covid began, and fairly priced."
"Mozzarella Sticks - a steal at happy hour at $4, they were fantastic."
"Their lunch prices are so low, I don't know they stay in business! What a find!"
"We priced out quite a few places and they hands down gave us the most bang for our buck."
Cons:
"In my opinion, $22 is a little expensive for gnocchi."
"Food is excellent but way over priced. We each had a pasta dish that was just shy of $30.00 for each of us."
"$27 for Chicken Parmigiano.. was a bit crazy."
"Another issue is the prices were $2 higher than the price if it wasn't mothers day."
"For 20 bucks we were really disappointed and hungry. Never will come back here and waste my money. This was a rip off."
"The bill with 20% tip was over 100 for two people for the most underwhelming food I have had in a long time."
"I just paid $175 for my wife and two daughters to hear a over-served patron screaming the “F” word for the two hours it took to get through our meal on the patio."
