Bottega Italia

Bottega Italia is an all-day Italian bistro in Old Town Temecula, serving everything from morning espresso and pastries to brunch, Neapolitan-style pizza, handmade pasta and late-night cocktails. Its homemade gelato is made in-house every day, and the kitchen serves Illy coffee.

The restaurant is on Front Street in Old Town and does not take reservations, according to a recent guide, so expect a wait during busy hours. It is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and an aperitivo hour, and it also has a small market area. Bottega is run by the Prestifilippo family, who also own Gourmet Italia, Spuntino Pizzeria and Poggio Leano Winery.
