Dining at Bottino in the West Chelsea Highline neighborhood is a worthwhile experience. First note that when you enter the restaurant it may seem congested at first. Passing the fancy marble top bar, a convenient coat check and a hectic kitchen area.

Further inside, an enchanted garden and elegant dining rooms awaits. Thankfully changing that first impression where you may have thought the wait time to book a table was two hours. Now you can breathe a sigh of relief because there is actually a lot of room.
