Wonderful Family Place
We went there with a friend and had our 5 month old daughter with us. The owners were wonderful. We had awesome service from the staff. The food was out of this world and arrived at our table hot and quickly. I would recommend this place for excellent food, staff, cleanliness and a wonderful atmosphere.    [04 Apr 2004 00:08:31]

Best Authentic Italian Cuisine in Lompoc
Nick and Caterina Agate really know how to run a restaurant. They are both from Marsala Italy and understand Italian cooking. Caterina, or Momma as her customers call her, prepares all of the wonderful old world pastas, sauces, and deserts. She uses only fresh ingredients including real butter, wines, and real chocolate. The wine selection is building into only the finest local Italian Varietals and others from Italy and local wineries. Try Momma's wonderful Italian creations. She is exceptionally warm and friendly...like being at home.    [15 Apr 2004 17:29:33]

Personal Touches Are the Key!
The family-run restaurant tucked away in Lompoc, CA is a delight! Personal touches grace the service, food and building itself! I loved the food and the value was excellent. Prices are decent, very fair and the portions are generous, but save room for dessert! The home-made desserts are outstanding, and I only got to sample two, so I'm looking forward to eating more next time! Recommended highly for those who are looking for a place for family dining, but with an upscale touch.    [11 Jun 2005 04:07:48]

The Best Italian Food Ever!
For Lompoc, restaurant choices are limited, but that doesn't mean there aren't some great places to eat. La Botte is one of them, as they serve outstanding dishes, service and atmosphere! Casual, family-oriented dining with a classy feel - it's a perfect place for a family with children or a couple's romantic night out. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced, and I loved the dessert! Recommended for residents and visitors of Lompoc alike, you can always try something new!    [01 Jul 2005 22:53:08]

Feel right at home
A true Mom and Pop, with Momma greeting, singing, and visiting with guests. I have eaten there on many occasions and have yet to have any less than the best meals of my life. The desserts are equally fantastic.    [10 Feb 2006 04:11:56]

Great Italian Food
We have eaten Italian food all over California and La Botte ranks with the best anywhere. Chicken or Veal Marsala with Alfredo is the best!!!

We drive 2 hours to eat here whenever we can. Highly recommended! Friendly family service from Momma and her staff.    [14 Oct 2006 01:12:40]
