Bottega Restaurant is a noted fine restaurant located in the Bottega Favorita building at 2240 Highland Avenue in Birmingham's Highland Park neighborhood. It is the second restaurant opened by nationally-renowned chef Frank Stitt, who opened his flagship Highlands Bar and Grill in 1982. Bottega's menu, which is updated daily, features Italian-inspired dishes made with fresh, regionally-sourced and imported Italian ingredients.
In 1990 the formal restaurant was joined by a more casual Bottega Café in the same building.
Bottega's dining room was closed in March 2020 at the onset of the COVID pandemic, and gradually reopened at a reduced capacity, supplemented with outdoor tables sheltered by tents, and by greater reliance on take-out meals.
In March 2022 the restaurant closed again for an interior renovation. A large banquette divider was removed to open up the space, a glass railing was replaced with wrought iron, and the finishes brightened. Overall seating capacity was reduced slightly. A new menu was introduced when the dining room reopened in December.
In January 2023 Bottega was announced as one of 20 semifinalists for the James Beard Foundation award for "Best Hospitality".
