Bottega

Was walking on the bridge with our granddaughter and she asked for a hot dog. Seen this place and thought we'd give it a try. Very friendly people, service fast. Wish we tried other items on rhe menu but will go back when we're hungrier. Want to try their goat soap they just made as stocking stuffers, the soap wasn't quite ready. Wish them well in their new venture.

Very friendly service! Refreshing smoothie!

The place was so good I kept coming back

This is the beginning of something great. (Edit: Or so I thought) Ever since hearing about the closure of the Route 30 Dinner and subsequent purchasing and remodeling of the old Guge's Dogs location, I've been meaning to check out their new breakfast menu. Walked over from the other side of the river, a short 2-3 mile jaunt down East Main and across the pedestrian bridge. Walking inside I thought at first it was closed or someone just stepped out as it was empty and unmanned, but about four to five minutes later I was able to figure out there was someone and get their attention. Might suggest a Service Bell at the counter or an electronic 'ding-dong' device to replace those rather soft spoken jingle bells at the door. Ordered an Egg and Cheese sandwich, decaf coffee, Western Breakfast burrito, and one of their smoothies called "The 3 C's" Wanted a Waffle which they had on the menu instead of the burrito, but apparently they weren't serving them this day. Sad. Overall the price came to $27 exactly, which considering I ordered enough for two people is fair and reasonable. Sat down and in less than the time I stood around I had my coffee and sandwich, of which I wolfed down as I was quite hungry and the sandwich's first bite told me it was delicious. Fluffy egg, firm bread, and some very sharp cheddar. Excellent. Coffee was on the money, a fresh pot for sure, though it was a little weird to see the creamer served in a shot glass and not in those tiny peel-back containers or a creamer pot. The second half of the meal came in about 10-11 minutes. The smoothie was tremendous, subtly sweet, super fruity flavor, and if you're interested they have options to add things like protein powder. Really enjoyed that. The burrito I think I made a mistake picking sausage and provolone cheese, either I should have gone with cheddar as well or picked the ham instead as it just had a very peppery flavor and nothing else. It was filling of course, but honestly somewhat bland. I think adding in home-fried potatoes chucks might be a good addition, which would stick with the Western theme too. Overall I really want to see these guys make it, because they got rolled over by their previous landlord and are a family run spot. They offer ice cream, which plans to add soft served by summer 2026, they're expanding half of the restaurant into a mini grocery store, and I wish them all the best. Edit (09/29/2025): It is unfortunate it has come to this. But after 2 attempts to come back during open hours, and finding them closed, and then today's experience finally catching them actually open I can not in good conscience keep my 5 star rating from before. The quality of service was horribly slow, to the point to took 35-40 minutes for 2 egg and cheese sandwiches, 1 Italian Wrap, and 1 Smoothie to come out. Even if it was someone's first day on the job, you would never expect this kind of delay. The quality of food is also down, losing the sandwich bun for plain toast, no coffee, and a lack of ingredients that prevented my father from getting one of the smoothes they offered. What happened? Both my father and I, agreed, that we could not see ourselves returning again. Horribly slow, disappointing food quality, super loud music playing, and to top it off the very shady thing of locking the door and closing the place right after we left during peak breakfast hours? No, something is going on here and we want none of it. Darn shame.
