What to expect
Botega Italiana offers a change of direction from the lagoon’s seafood restaurants. Fresh pasta is central to the kitchen, with a choice of shapes and sauces ranging from tomato and basil to ragù, pesto and clams. Lasagne, ravioli and potato gnocchi widen the choice without losing the Italian focus.
The menu also includes bruschetta, risotto, cured meats and cheeses, followed by Italian sweets. That gives a group room to choose between a pasta main and several smaller plates. Find the restaurant on Rua Capitão Jorge Ribeiro in Cabanas, with a booking page on its own website. Its name is spelled Botega, which helps distinguish the actual restaurant when searching for a table.
