The food was good and plentiful. The staff were very attentive and friendly and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening
Great food and very friendly staff, a very enjoyable lunch.
The restaurant is a must. The menu is very diverse and the food is fabulous. The ambience is lovely and relaxing and the service is superb.
Love the ravioli duck and brochettes and the flounder is fabulous.
Great food with decent servings. Very attentive staff and a good place to have a chat while you eat.
Always love coming here especially Sunday lunch.. love the food and staff are wonderful
We have been to Bottticelli many times with friends and on our own, we have never have anything to complain about. The flounder are just delicious.
Took my wife Tanya boehm here for her birthday lunch and the food and service was wonderful
Excellent service; always top quality food. Very good ambience.

Wow! What amazing hospitality during covid-19. Botticelli is offering 20% pick up orders at the movement and boy do they deliver. We were greeted with a smiling face and given free cookies (which were delicious). We bought two pasta dishes. The portion sizes are huge and the food is just as good as visiting the restaurant. This has been a family favourite restaurant of ours for a number of years and it has never disappointed. Thank you!
The experience at Botticelli was by and large a good one. Service was attentive and thorough. The entrée’s and antipasto offerings were superb. The bread, butter and olive oil/balsamico delightful. It sort of peaked here though, because for the main – the rib-eye steak ordered was prepped well done. Medium was the request, and it was nowhere near it. Still a decent cut of meat and so not an absolute disaster …but still a tad disappointing. Mrs Luncher once again ordered a seafood pasta of some description and seemed satisfied with her choice. Fries were a tad overcooked as well. To begin with this experience was headed for 5 stars, but it dropped off a fair bit. The Dear Luncher is however a generous man (both in mentality and proportion) so it’s a 3.5/5.
Very pleasant interior with attentive and very very kind staff. The food was all flavoursome with the garlic bread being a key highlight. Cannot give enough praise to the staff for being so welcoming and communicative. Strongly recommend. 4.5/5
Love this Italian restaurant, just love it. Best tilamisu I had in any places. Highly recommend the pastas and any fish you like. Friendly stuff. Only the tables are covered with papers, a bit inconvenient.

This place is a hidden gem! We went there for dinner last week and love it! I could tell the locals love it too
The staff were really nice ! The restaurant is small and cosy.
We had steak, oysters, salmon and pasta. Everything is absolutely divine !!!
Try it or you will regret 🙌🏻
My absolute favorite place to eat. The food never disappoints. You have to start with the cob bread. The whole flounder with chili sauce on the side is an adventure in culinary pleasures.
We had a table of seven visit for a birthday dinner and overall we had a good experience. The food was pretty good, my main course chicken supreme was excellent but my octopus entree was average as it had way too much chile in it to the point where I couldn't taste the octopus. The rest of our party for the most part enjoyed their meals. Service was mixed, we had one very good waiter and one who had no idea. The only other thing is the cost, at these prices they should be a 5 star restaurant but they are not at that level.
I ordered seafood marinara pasta and which was amazing. It came with a salad and a glass of wine, and you can swap to coffee, juice and so on. The service was great too.
I have to admit that food is good in this place, generous portion, but shocking service for such a high class restaurant, unbelievable, very inexperienced people with absolutely no background in hospitality...
Wonderful service and exquisite food! What more can you ask for.
The eggplant parmigiana is to die for and the fresh salads are perfect to balance the strong flavours of traditional Italian soul food.
One of the better pasta places around town. Can be quite busy at times but that's only because the dishes are pretty good. Have been a regular here ever since we discovered it a couple of years ago.
There are positives and negatives for Botticelli of Brighton. Lets start with the positives,
I love the fact you can bring your own bottle of wine. The pasta is delicious and fresh and tasty. The staff are eager to please and try their best. Negatives: some staff dont speak english and we found it really hard to ask how the duck was cooked when she kept asking is we wanted it rare or well done when roast duck ALWAYS comes well done. I asked for salad and chips and I got potatoes and veggies. I found it really frustrating that I wasnt getting what I asked for and they couldn't understand so why bother to complain. It only really works if you are able to point at a menu item and ask no questions. Drinks service was a little slow but otherwise the food is good and we have dined there a few time so intend on going back. Next time I will have good translate ready to go!
Loved their pepper steak and being byo it's hard to beat also tried their bread with dips yum!!! The service was friendly and quite fast. Will be back!!!
Love this place, great food, great staff and the best pasta outside of Italy! It is good value for money and it is evidently very popular with the locals! Give it a try!
Only 2 waiting staff here, needed to wait for services. The food is good indeed. We ordered duck n mushroom risotto in size of main dish to share. But they don't have pizza...not really understand why they don't hv. The portion is huge, even shared among 2 of us. Sides we had garden salad & fries. They are alright. If u are not in a rush and don't mind without any choice of pizza, here is a nice to go for dinning on Church st.
Very nice Italian. 2nd time we've been to Botticelli in the past 6 months - first time was dinner, today was lunch with friends. We found it very nice (on both occasions), good serves, pasta a specialty, good service, space between tables. Clearly a lot of regular diners. Fairly priced. We'll go back again.
Wonderful Dinner. Friday night the restaurant was packed, the service could not be faulted
Happy smiling staff and warm cosy atmosphere
The Food was better than any other in Brighton and we have tried them all
We all loved each of the courses
Cannot praise it enough and can't wait to go back
Great service and restaurant!. Was really happy with the service and the food. We shared an entree and has a main each and the food was delicious. The service was great, and being BYO is a nice change, with corkage only $5. The only slight criticism was that the mains came too quickly after our entrees. But, the service was great. Very attentive staff and the atmosphere was nice, perhaps just a little loud but can't see how the venue can help that, it was a full house.
Will be back!
We enjoyed our meals lovely fresh seafood in the paella ,pastas were good Enjoyed the ambience ,service and liked being able to BYO
Consistently good. We go to Botticelli's a couple of times a month. The service is very pleasant, even when they are rushed off their feet. On Fridays and Saturdays the place is buzzing. The ambience is relaxed. The specials don't really change but there's plenty on the menu to choose from. The flounder is good as are the pasta dishes and the crepes are a favourite with us. It's not haute cuisine but consistently good. Also very convenient to the Dendy cinema.
We were nervous due to reviews but were pleasantly surprised. Unpretentious yet attentive service, warm atmosphere and lovely food. I had a large prawn and scallop linguine with Chilli and herbs, she had the duck ravioli. The food wasn't incredible but it was delicious and for the price in that suburb I thought decent. I would recommend this place on a cold winter night for dinner before a 9pm movie screening. We would come here again.
The evening special menu is excellent value at $29. It includes garlic bread, a choice of pasta dishes and a glass of wine. I went with my husband and 2 friends on a Wednesday night. We sat outside and the street dining feels very European. I had the linguine salmon which was very tasty, just the right amount of salmon and a delicious creamy sauce. There isn't really a need to have the salad as the portions are large. There was definitely no room for dessert. I would definitely go back here.
Had a lovely meal here recently and was pleasantly surprised. Last experience was a bit hit and miss but couldn't fault it this time. Food was delicious and I've always liked the atmosphere here. Worth having a go, pasta is excellent
Nice :-). After reading the mixed reviews, wasn't sure what to expect, but so glad we came. Lovely evening, lovely food, great waiting staff, and big menu. Had the scallops and then a prawn pasta. Good value for money :-)
A busy restaurant clearly popular with locals. We had to wait 20 mins outside for our 8.30 booking but prefer that to have seen them rushing other diners. Otherwise excellent food & service & it offers BYO.
Good food, good price. We went for dinner on a Friday night and were amazed we could get a deal of wine, garlic bread, garden salad and pasta for $28. Staff were really friendly and attentive and the food was great. We had the seafood spaghetti and a chicken pasta dish and not only was it all delicious it was also a nice sized serving. It tasted too good to leave behind so we both left the restaurant "food- drunk". Cant wait to go back again.
Really lovely. Went there with my husband and dog, sat outside on a warm summer night. It was lovely. The service was great and food nice too. I had the seafood linguine and really enjoyed it.
They make great french fries, which is a nice treat. But the best is the location and ambiance.
Will be back for sure.
Good Lunch Deal. Went for a spur of the moment lunch, had entertainment voucher. They had a $20 lunch deal, any pasta w garden salad and a glass of wine. Cheap, delish, good sized servings and great service :)
Good Italian. Its not the best around, but it is still pretty good. The meals are great. service good and staff really friendly.
Duck to die for !. Our 4th time back. A lovely romantic dinner for 2. Excellent food - the Duck was magnificent yet again. Great service from a staff that likes what they do. ( Seriously a true gem - why would you go anywhere else.) Great service, ( Thanks Chris & guys).
Being at 95% capacity at 7.00 pm, with the only 3 empty tables "RESERVED" ...Shows that they are doing something definitley very, very, right. Fantastic !

A wonderful night. There are many times when one's perception of a restaurant can be influenced by the good (or bad) company present. Our first meal at Botticelli of Brighton is a case in point.
My wife and I had a wonderful night due in large part to the presence of some very good friends on whose suggestion we all ate there. In those circumstances the food becomes secondary to the enjoyment of the occasion.
First impressions of the restaurant were very good. Service was very professional and welcoming. The Maitre D' struck just the right note. Decor was a little strange but quite all right.
As for the food, in my opinion it was good without being at the super good end. You won't be disappointed, as the kitchen staff certainly knows what they are doing. Maybe it's Brighton and the type and age group of the majority of customers, but I thought the menu choices somewhat at the conservative (safe?) "comfort food" end of things. And the food seems to carry through with that theme. Nothing at all to criticise, but then again nothing to rave about either.
Prices are quite reasonable for this type of restaurant and being BYO as well as licensed is a big PLUS.
As this is our first visit, I can't be sure, but I don't think you would be disappointed if you try Botticelli of Brighton, but then again it is unlikely you will be inspired. As I mentioned at the start we had a great night!
Stopped here for a quick coffee on New Years day. What a perfect place for a romantic dinner. It is quite busy so probable best to book. The coffee was amazing with a complimentary homemade biscuit. The service was outstanding and the prices quite reasonable. Although I didn't eat here I intend on going back to eat as it looked and smelled amazing and the restaurant was so busy you have to assume it is good. Great care was also being taken to ensure covid rules were carried out and tables were being wiped down after every guest!!
Lovely Italian food & decadent coffee, not to forget the gorgeous person Daniella and everyone else who made our visit quite pleasantly unforgettable at this old-world corner on such a rainy day as today!!!
Would recommend every time one visits Brighton!
Truly delicious Italian food and wine with authenticity. The linguine puttanesca was beyond delicious and the rucola salad and wine perfect.
Shaking head that haven’t frequented sooner/before. Will become a staple (if they’ll have me!)
Excellent food - one of the best Italian food experiences that we can remember. And we have traveled extensively. We had one starter and three mains for three of us - and each dish was almost perfection. Each one was delightful and hugely tasty. Good service - lovely decor and atmosphere.
It deserves all its accolades
Tonight, the staff and chefs provided us with one of the best Italian meals I have had. The grilled calamari was so tender and packed with the a complex mix of delicious flavours, that had us all scraping the sauce off our plate. My choice of pasta (and honestly the best Gluten Free pasta I have had) was generously served with prawns and scallops in a delicious sauce with just the right amount of heat. The gelato was incredibly creamy and you could taste the fresh fruit in the strawberry scoop. I only wished I lived in Melbourne as this would easily be my new favourite eatery. Thank you so much and well done on your outstanding food and service.

I love this place. I've been here several times before, but not in a long while, and it's great to see that they've expanded (taken the store that was next door and made their interior much bigger).
Today the service was impeccable, and the food also. I started with the Caprese Salad, and it was SO heavenly. It was beautifully presented and it was possibly one of the very best I've ever had anywhere. The mozzarella was massive and it was sitting in a pesto foam which was sooooo tasty. I had one piece of the garlic bread that others at the table ordered, and man, that was phenomenal. The best garlic bread I've tried ever. Then for the main course I had a Salmone Gnocchi (that was actually originally penne, but they kindly made changes) which was so good. Dessert (which I only ordered so I didn't feel left out as everyone else ordered ... ) was the crepes filled with vanilla ice cream in a mandarin liquor with mandarin segments.
If you're wanting a beautiful meal out - be it lunch or dinner - you can't go past Botticelli. It is such a great experience and there's a lot to choose from on the menu and it's all reasonably priced for the quality. I very highly recommend it here.
Always a pleasure to come back! Amazing service and super delicious food! The seafood pasta is to die for.
