Some kitchens cook food. Bottega creates moments. Chef Ricardo — a name long synonymous with culinary artistry in the Pacific Northwest — returns with his most intimate and inspired vision yet: a restaurant born from a deep, abiding love for the Italian table. Here, pasta is crafted by hand, wines are curated with the discernment of a collector, and the open kitchen is not merely functional — it is theater. At the center of it all, a wood-fired stone oven breathes life into every pizza it touches, its warmth radiating through the room like an invitation to slow down, lean in, and savor.
Bottega is the rare place where elegance never feels exclusive. Our dining room — adorned in soft blush and burnished gold — wraps every guest in an atmosphere that is at once refined and deeply, genuinely welcoming. Families are embraced. Celebrations are elevated. And for those seeking something truly singular, our private dining spaces offer an experience that is entirely your own. Tucked within Huntamer Park in Lacey, Washington, Bottega is more than a restaurant — it is a gathering place for those who believe that a beautiful meal, shared with the people who matter most, is one of life's great pleasures.
