Bottega Caruso in Thanet

Absolutely gorgeous food. It takes a skilled chef to make a humble mozzarella and tomato salad something you'll think about long after you've had it. Simply gorgeous. Well worth it and terrific service.

Fantastic dinner at Bottega Caruso. All the food was amazing! We had so many dishes, pickles, anchovies, some kind of bean stew, pasta, tiramisu!! All the wines we tried were delicious and they have a great selection of orange wines!I can't wait to go back and try more.

Very wonderful restaurant.Went here for lunch and apparently it’s a local gem in town. I can see why. Very cozy atmosphere and fresh ingredients where quality is key.Home-cooked style Italian foods with a twist. Everything is fresh and the menu changes regularly.We had the ‘bread’ marinara meatballs, spring vegetables and soft cheese and crab/wild fennel pasta. All amazing.The desserts are also great!Highly recommend if you appreciate locally run restaurants that emphasise on quality and work-life balance for their employees.

Supremely friendly and knowledgeable service. Front of house were really brilliant this evening, I can't praise them enough. Great wine list and beautiful food, definitely one of the best Italian meals I've had outside of Italy, if not ever, and such an amazing balance of Italian and Kentish ingredients and flavours. Perfection!

Amazing experience. Food 5* and Service 5* too. Portions are good, tastes amazing and served in reasonable time. Drinks also really nice.

Absolutely amazing food, wonderful service and a brilliant location.Cannot recommend this place highly enough.Make sure to book before visiting as it is very popular and you wouldn't want to get turned away!

A very delicious meal! It really feels like it is a regional Italian restaurant and not just generic pasta dishes, making it such a unique place! Wine menu was fantastic as well!

Went yesterday for lunch, 2 x adults and 2 x 6 year olds. Amazing experience. Staff who knew their stuff about food and wine (and including the lad who named the Millennium Falcon on our comic) they were all just generally nice people. Food was exceptional, relaxed and enjoyable environment. Highly recommended.

My sister and I enjoyed the atmosphere at Bottega. However, I felt that the main course pasta dishes were just ok and I had chewy bits of stem broccoli in my pasta, which was not enjoyable. In my opinion, this restaurant is a bit overrated and I would probably not return or recommend it to friends.

Absolutely amazing meal for Valentine's Day - I didn't know anchovies could taste so good! Completely stand out and can't wait until it's possible to eat in!
