At Bottarga, hospitality is at the heart of everything we do. We began on Martin Street with fewer than twenty seats in a completely open kitchen — just the two of us, Federico in the kitchen and Somi in the front. From those intimate beginnings, Bottarga has grown into a bold new chapter. As we move to Bay Street, into a slightly larger and more considered space, our vision expands — but our soul remains the same: intimate, warm, and quietly refined.

Bottarga is not just another restaurant; it is a personal and unrepeatable experience. We are not trying to be “fine dining” in the distant, unapproachable sense. Instead, we are honest and grounded — sourcing with intention, cooking with precision, and serving with warmth. We want our guests to feel as though they are entering our home: Somi welcoming and guiding you through the evening, Federico creating each dish with care, and our team ensuring the atmosphere is genuine, comfortable, and unforgettable.

Our aim is simple — to create memories that linger, a sense of nostalgia, and a feeling of belonging. It is hospitality that leaves an impression long after the last glass is poured.

Bottarga is a couple-run restaurant, built on passion, experience, and a shared dream. Federico brings over a decade of culinary craft — from Vue de Monde to Matteo’s and Scopri — to each nostalgic, heart-led plate. Somi, with a lifelong love of hospitality and deep knowledge in wine, curates each guest experience with intentional care and warm professionalism. Together, we do it all — from plating to wine selection and everything in between — to create something authentic, one guest at a time.
