Bottega Privée, Pinares - Curridabat

Carbonara spaghetti was dry and tasted weird…. Very disappointing for an Italian joint. The only thing that was nice was the shrimps and the Tiramisu. Service was also super slow on a night without customers.

Nice italian restaurant with avaible meat, fish pasta dishes. Good italian only wine list. Outside tables are avaible. A must try

What a disaster..... The restaurant was empty on a busy night, mall was packed. First sign of don't go in... Waiters trying to get you in, second sign to don't go in. Amuse geule was a creamy soup, not to identify as carrot or pumpkin soup. It came in bowl big like a salad bowl; it was tasteless. But i felt for a simple pasta from a parmesan wheel. Nomally an easy thing, or so I thought, but I got cold pasta with a big clutch of cold parmesan clinging to the cold noodles. The waiter melted the parmesan with a burner (latest here I should have stopped him left). I ordered the pasta with shrimp. I got 3 small shrimp, ice cold and soaked in garlic, bad taste and even worse the consistency..... Ok, we called the waiter and he changed the dish to a carbonara (my children make it all the time without problems). You know, totally simple. Parmesano, butter, egg, fresh pepper, panceta... Most simple thing... Not here.... Totally untercooked pasta with cheap bacon, no signs of the creamy consistency, bitter taste... My wife's pasta with tomato sauce was edible, more or less... All together a culinary disaster. They need better training and don't destroy the Italian cuisine with your dishes. Almost 40000 colones and we left hungry. Ah, the best thing was the bread with the ajoli.

It is better if you try the place after you have eaten. Expensive, small dishes and they got the order wrong. Have plans for the night?, try something else.

Delicious food, excellent service! Highly recommend it. Vegan options too :
