La Bottega, Francesco Gamberro’s Italian gastronomic adventure is rapidly becoming Geneva’s most coveted dining venue after being awarded their first Michelin star just five months after their opening.
Swiftly establishing a firm grip on the Genevan restaurant scene, Francesco is determined to make their mark as a chef re-defining Italian cuisine. Refusing to squeeze his restaurant into a clear-cut mould that churns out homogenous pasta dishes, he is breaking away from traditional stereotypes and going ‘Italian free-style’.
Situated in one of Geneva’s most venerable and traditional thoroughfares, La Bottega beautifully harmonises with the city’s distinctive ambience, set among wrought-iron signs and stucco building façades. Boasting a modern, efficient design that embodies simplicity and minimalism, the restaurant was built by Italian architects and craftsmen from re-used materials.
The result is a warm, welcoming, and informal atmosphere that promises an creative, fun and delicious culinary experience.
