Why Travelers Love Bottega Penang
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Really enjoyed our visit and Wasim was a great credit to the business and made us feel very welcome. We sat at the bench, overlooking the open kitchen which is a great concept. You can see the chef creating the delicious food right in front of your eyes. We ordered a vegetarian pizza and fresh salad, which were both very good. Good choice of beers and wine and all the staff were super-helpful. Went to their Penang branch for the very 1st time. I like the atmosphere compare to the 1 in KL. I went there to celebrate my fiance's birthday, their food was so good. And I love their complimentary lemon sorbet. We will definitely come back here again. The restaurant is good and so is the atmosphere! The pizza was spectacular and the burrata average (a little dry inside). They have very good wine but the drinks are extremely expensive. There's one thing I don't understand and can't agree with: why do the menu prices come without tax (6% on food and 8% on alcoholic drinks) and + 10% service charge! It's much more honest to put these prices on the menu so that the customer has a real idea of what they're going to pay... A very positive note goes to the friendliness of the staff!

My favourite Italian restaurant to go to in Penang! If you're a cheese connoisseur like me, you'll like this spot! The menu offers an excellent assortment of foods, and we like everything we had. Shout out to our bro Wasim for providing excellent recommendations and ensuring our needs were met throughout the evening.

Came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We called ahead to book a table for three — luckily, one was available! It was our first time trying Italian food, and we have no regrets. The herbs, spices, and aroma were simply amazing — every dish was packed with flavour. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and we’d like to give a special shoutout to Asad, who made us feel completely at ease. His warm hospitality really enhanced our experience. All in all, it was a fantastic evening — definitely a memorable one!
