What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bottarga is lauded for its incredibly fresh seafood and creative, daily-changing menu curated by the owner-chef. Diners praise the personalized experience and unique Mediterranean flavors. While service can sometimes be stretched thin due to a small staff, the quality of the food consistently makes it a memorable and highly recommended dining destination.
"Highly recommend! Especially, if you want something different and refreshing. Definitely not like your usual turkish food. Absolutely delicious, exactly what we need after travelling here for 1 week.
No menu and they cook whatever was available at the market that morning. The restaurant is run by a lovely old couple.
We didn’t get to take photos of all the dishes as we were too hungry."

"Excellent food. Great atmosphere. 4 on service only because there was only one server for the whole restaurant, not because of any other reason. He was as attentive and pleasant as he could be being the only person serving 10 tables. The food, however, was worth the wait as we ordered each course. I recommend ordering several courses at once each time he comes by."
Mishelle Pasinato
"Absolutely incredible experience. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and every dish felt thoughtfully crafted. The scallops, squid relleno, blue crab, prawns, and ravioli were all outstanding, but the pasta a la vongole was next level. Perfectly balanced seasoning and top quality ingredients in every bite. Worth every mile of the trip. I’ll be thinking about this meal for a long time."
