Our experience at Bottarga was absolutely incredible. The food was the best I had in a while, especially the Toothfish. And I’m not usually a dessert lover, but we decided to do the 3 course menu and ordered the fig tart and the Negroni pannacotta… they were soooo delicious. Thanks for the beautiful night!
