La Bottega Babylon

I was a little sad when the last place, Noamar - a Spanish tapas place, closed since I felt like Babylon could’ve used the diversity in cuisine. Seeing another Italian spot seemed redundant. However I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the more unique menu - offering a selection of artisanal paninis that taste super fresh and well-made, amongst delicious pastas and other dishes. The food tastes more akin to Italian than Italian-American. The interior is a modern, bright, clean cafe. I also really love meeting our server Lorena, who was efficient, warm, friendly, and very good at her job. She deserves a raise! I hope La Bottega is here to stay in this spot :)

My fiancé and I started coming here a few months ago, and it has quickly become one of our staple spots! Every single visit, the food and service are consistently excellent. Michael and Lorena have both served us and are both so warm and welcoming! Our go-to order is usually the Rucola Caprino e Pollo salad, the Pietro panini, and the Hogan’s panini - all absolutely delicious. We also love the butternut squash soup. We highly recommend this spot and can’t wait to keep coming back!!!

Nothing bad to say about this place! While I miss the multiple rice ball flavors from the old Roslyn location, the salads, the paninis and the pastas are beyond reproach! Great if your looking for a warm, comfy meal:) need more people over here!

La Bottega in Babylon village is such a cozy spot, it instantly puts you in a Christmassy, holiday mood. And the cannolis? Absolutely incredible. If you’re looking for true, authentic Italian cannolis, this is the place. So delicious!”

My friend and I had a great dinner there, she got a Salad, I got steak medallions. The service was great, a nice atmosphere, and a good menu. They seem to specialize in Salads and Paninis, but I decided to go with an entree, and I was way too full afterwards! They were also mindful of my allergies!
