La Bottega Italiana - Bergisch Gladbach

My colleague and I wanted a quick Italian lunch in the Schlebusch area of Leverkusen and headed for La Bottega Italiana. We were greeted with warmth and friendliness and took one of the tables indoors. We ordered soft drinks to start with as we checked...through the menu. I chose the Gorgonazola creamed sauce with spinach filled ravioli type pasta which was delicious. Pity that it was such a modestly sized portion. My colleague wanted the anti pasta mixed dish. The problem was with the unavailability of the sheeps cheese which I thought was strange to say the least. With at least 3 supermarkets close at hand I would have thought that depleted supplies could be replenished easily. After ordering it took quite some time for our dishes to be prepared which was a pity as we were on a rather tight time schedule. In summary this is certainly a nice place and my companion put the slight blips in the experience down to it being a Monday after a busy weekend in the nearby pedestrian zone. In my opinion, however, with competition being so fierce in the restaurant trade you do have to keep to a certain efficient standard to keep customer satisfaction high...

We went there for a quick business lunch. The kitchen not open until noon. The food was freshly made. Took some time. Decoration is simple but functional.

Italian Delicacies and Lunch place. Small range of great food. Ambiente is ok, so is the service. Good for a lunch with colleagues.
