"Real Italians, real homemade food with tomatoes imported from Italy. The real deal here and so far the best Italian food in Venice. Sorry downtown spots, La Botte in strip mall is awesome. The gnocchi was so perfect the sauce and lasagna was great. The veal was great, the eggplant appetizer was so wonderful. Don't miss this place when in Venice"

"We went to La Botte both for lunch and dinner on a visit to Venice, FL. What a pleasant surprise! The food was very authentic and absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Lovely Laura was the main server with her sister as the chef. Both of her parents worked there as well. We’ve been to Italy many times and felt like we were back in Italy in a way with the excellent food and atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back on another trip!"

"Honestly, I cannot rate this high enough.
Not only were we seated without a reservation when they absolutely didn't have to, we also were told to relax and take our time and enjoy the time we have and we did absolutely that.
Our server was courteous, kind and attentive it was perfect.
Food was to our table without delay, perfect temperature to everything.
But let's get to what really matters the most "how was the food?" In a word, incredible.
It was so good infact we forgot to take pictures due to enjoying ourselves too much.
We both went with specials, myself the Cannelloni di carne and my wife had the gnocchi.
The sauce oh my god, it's as good as moms homemade meatsauce and the gnocchi were slightly larger than normal pillows of absolute joy.
Do yourself a favor and try this absolutely fantastic restaurant."
