Botte UES is a true gem in the heart of the Upper East Side!
I visited on a Thursday night and was thrilled to find it wasn't overly crowded, which meant quick service, and our server, Manuel, was incredibly friendly and attentive. I tried the chicken parmigiana with a twist - vodka sauce instead of the usual red sauce - and it was crispy, juicy, and paired perfectly with fresh, homemade pasta.
The cozy vibe made it ideal for a relaxed dinner, and the ‘Made Ya Blush’ drink was a standout! Definitely a place to return for comfort food and good times. 🍝✨
