Absolutely loved this place — best pizza I've ever tasted and the customer service was just superb. Will definitely be back.

Dined on a Monday night and it was busy. Service was pretty good considering the crowd and the food came out quickly. Will be back.

Lovely atmosphere and a family-run feel. Food was very good and service warm and friendly. A solid North Shore staple.

Botticelli is one of the friendliest Italian restaurants on the Shore. Fabulous vibe, great entertainment from wonderful musicians and the food has never failed me. The staff and owner go out of their way to please. A must visit — they will not disappoint.

One of the North Shore's icon restaurants. If you've never tried their food, you should. You'll become one of the many who always come back for more.
