Bottega Prelibato in Hackney

I HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED in this place !!!Me and my friends had dinner in this restaurant First when we arrived we loved the place and family vibe. Food and wine was alright and we thought what a lovely place to remember and brought more people and clients of our business later. We chatted with the owner saying how great the food is and praising him and then he asked where we were from for the sake of a small talk. I mentioned I was Russian originality and then his reaction changed and he said that he couldn’t sleep because of me in the news and I should have been overcharged because I’m Russian woman and the actions that happens now in the world . OMG, this is really happened in 2022 in the UK! I still cannot believe it but this definately something out of ordinary and shouldn’t be existing when people are judged in this way by labels whileOur government are trying to build our society on humanity and not labels! Please if you feelThe same way do not go to this place because this is not normal in the modern society and should not be supported !

A real east London must!!! Unbelievable food, quality and portions reflect the price. The best marinated mussels I have ever had to be honest. Fast, friendly, helpful and super cool staff 😍

We just had drinks, place has a really nice atmosphere and there’s a cozy garden out back with heaters. Staff was friendly and quick.Cocktails are great too, try their fig old fashioned!

loved the cocktails!!! but the service was little late although my and my hubby absolutely loved the food especially the fried squid and the pasta with what i believe were mushrooms but i am not a big foodie.

My second time here tonight and I cannot fault a thing. We came for my husband's birthday. The food, cocktails and wine were absolutely divine and the team made an effort to sing him happy birthday and bring a cake out. Menu highlights were the beef ragu and spinach and ricotta pasta dumplings. So so good! Will be back.

Enjoyed that, the carbonaras were too salty unfortunately (and I haven't been the only one saying that) + the desert really felt small for the cost (£7+) but, the atmosphere was nice and we came as 8 people without a booking so, can't complain too much.Will come back again if less salt in the food and bigger portions for the desserts.

My favourite neighbourhood Italian. Always a pleasure whether it’s morning coffee and croissants (best in London), or dinner and drinks (pasta menu changes weekly, you can’t go wrong). The team are a joy, especially everyone’s favourite Massimo. Love this place.

I absolutely love this place. It has a really cosy authentic Italian feel. The food is delicious and the staff are very attentive. Everything I've tried here tastes amazing.

Absolutely the best Italian food in London! Chef Thierry creates super creative and tasty menus…pasta dishes can’t be missed, especially truffle dish and the seafood platter. The team is so friendly and service is absolutely wonderful. This place is a gem….patio dining with a glass of wine all day long.

Horrible service. We booked the table at 13.30h and apparently they were opening at 15h. After the long wait, most of the dishes were not available. Ordered a £20 truffle/sausages/asparagus and mushrooms pasta where sausages were missing. They substituted the sausages by ver low quality bacon. There was only one asparagus. Plus I am still looking for the truffle! Completely tasteless and outrageously expensive. Wouldn’t recommend at all!
