Bottega uniquely blends the flavors of the American South with the artisanal traditions of the Italian countryside, creating a sophisticated dining experience inspired by Italian wine bars and trattorias. Founded by acclaimed chef Frank Stitt, the venue offers both a formal dining room featuring refined Southern-Italian dishes and a casual café with wood-fired pizzas. This dual concept honors regional ingredients and culinary craftsmanship in a historic Beaux-Arts setting, distinguishing it as a landmark in Birmingham's food scene.
