Bottega Caruso - Margate

This is a wonderful restaurant! I visited for lunch and discovered that it’s a local gem in the city, and now I understand why. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients is evident. The Italian food has a home-cooked style with a creative twist. Everything was fresh, and the menu changes frequently. We tried the “bread” marinara meatballs, early peasant vegetables, soft cheese, and crab/wild fennel pasta, all of which were exceptional. The desserts were also fantastic! I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates local restaurants that prioritize quality and the well-being of their employees.

I had a fantastic dinner at Bottega Caruso! The food was amazing! We enjoyed a variety of dishes including pickles, anchovies, a type of bean stew, pasta, and tiramisu. Every dish we tried was delicious, and they have an excellent selection of orange wines! I can't wait to return and try even more!

A very delicious meal! it really feels like it's a regional Italian restaurant and not just generic pasta dishes, so it's a unique place!

Amazing experience. Food 5* and Service 5* too. Portions are good, tastes amazing and served in reasonable time. Drinks also really nice.

I experienced incredibly friendly and knowledgeable service at this restaurant. The atmosphere was outstanding tonight, and I can't praise the staff enough. They have an extensive wine list and the food was delightful – definitely one of the best Italian meals I've had outside of Italy, if not the best overall. There was a wonderful blend of Italian and Kentish flavors and aromas. Simply perfection!
