Italian restaurant ★4.0 (135)·$30–50

1606 1st Ave, New York, NY 10028, USA

4.0
Undercooked noodles ruined the entire spaghetti alle vongole dish. Sauce was too thick as well. The arugula salad with pears was terrible. Why were the pear slices maple syrup infused? It just tasted weird. I would have mentioned the undercooked noodles if the server asked how everything was going, to which he never did. It wasn’t even busy, why not give good service? Music was way too loud in the restaurant. - Sterling Hitchcock

What is Worth Choosing at Botte UES

In the crowded New York Italian dining market, Botte UES distinguishes itself through a strong focus on **atmosphere, beverages, and versatile dining options**. It is truly worth choosing for New Yorkers who value a dynamic, full-service experience that extends beyond a quick meal.

The biggest draw is undoubtedly the **Great Cocktails and Wine Program**. The inclusion of a robust Negroni menu (Signature, Barrel Aged, Mezcal, Blood Orange) and high-quality Italian wines—including sought-after bottles like Sassicaia—means this is a top-tier destination for sophisticated drinkers who appreciate Italian spirits and oenology. The bar is a central feature, making it a great spot for Happy hour drinks and Small plates before a full dinner.

Second, the **Versatility and Ambiance** are key. Botte UES successfully blends the casual Italian eatery with a trendy Manhattan spot. The restaurant is popular for Lunch, Dinner, and Solo dining, and is welcoming to diverse crowds, positioning itself as an inclusive neighborhood hub. The availability of Outdoor seating is a significant New York highlight, providing a pleasant al fresco dining experience when the weather allows. The option for Live music adds a layer of sophistication and energy rarely found in neighborhood Italian spots.

While some classic dishes like the Spaghetti Vongole or Rigatoni alla Vodka might occasionally receive mixed feedback on execution or flavor profile, the **breadth of the menu**—from the interesting **Pizza Carbonara** on the brunch menu to the classic TIRAMISÙ for dessert—ensures there are countless successful options to explore. The ability to accommodate dietary needs with Gluten Free and Cauliflower Crust pizzas further makes Botte UES a flexible and appealing choice. We recommend leaning into the trendy, casual, and cocktail-forward atmosphere for a satisfying and authentically lively Upper East Side Italian experience.
