Description: La Bottega Bistroteka is a modern Italian bistro in the heart of Prague, on the busy Dlouhá Street. Chef Riccardo Lucque opened it with Ondřej Rákosník in 2014, and it has settled nicely into the neighborhood. It is an ideal place for a long, relaxing breakfast, or a quick lunch chosen from the daily specials prepared by chef Martin Dvořák and his team. Afternoons are perfect for a visit to enjoy a traditional Italian aperitivo, consisting of a plate of Italian delicacies and wine. You can also enjoy a great evening with friends, with a menu featuring fresh fish and seafood, aged meats, and a variety of selections from the à la carte menu.

I love this place.

It is very popular with the in crowd and has an extensive and varied menu, the desserts are a particular treat.

It is a great place for a romantic evening, or meal out with friends.

Highly recommended.

Buongiorno Jan!

Thank you for recommending La Bottega Bistroteka to the Tripadvisor users!
We are happy to read that you liked the romantic atmosphere and the wide choice of desserts. We love desserts and we produce them daily in our pastry lab in Prague 7. We use only the best fresh ingredients without adding coloring and chemicals that might appeal the eye but are not healthy at all!
Come back to visit us and try our incredible selection of organic wines!

Arrivederci!

This is a nice and cosy place for a couple breakfast. Spacious, bright, warm. Nice bread. Excellent coffee for Czech standard.

Chose this venue based on other reviews. The venue is "trendy" modern, which means decor is somewhat minimalist. Menu is interesting, Italian oriented. Was disappointed when filet steak ordered "medium" was served medium rare. When pointed out to waitress, she argued that "no, this is medium", and I had to insist that it needed more cooking. So my rating is based on (1) the steak was not served as ordered, and (2) the waitress was prepared to argue with me. My partner's meal of octopus, however, could not be faulted.
Price wise, for Prague, this is a moderately expensive restaurant, but deserves consideration as it seems to aspire to high standards.

Dear Daryl,

Thank you for visiting La Bottega Bistroteka and for sharing your thoughts with us.
We are sorry to read that your visit was not up to your expectations and that you had some troubles with the steak.
Our goal is to have happy Guests and we are very disappointed when this does not happen.
I will immediately speak with the staff about the situation and I will do my best to make them more sensitive to the Guests reactions and comments.
I would like you to know that we cook our fish and meat based on international standards which are used in most restaurants around the world and that, even if mistakes can happen, we try our best to be consistent with quality and cooking times.
Nevertheless, I believe that all requests from our Guests should be fulfilled, especially when they are so simple!

Once again, please accept our apologies and we hope to have the chance to see you again and amend your opinion.

At first glance it looks like a take-out restaurant. A wide variety of interesting salads/starters are displayed up front. You can peruse and make choices, we chose 3 and then they were deliverd by our waiter. For the entrees we asked about fish so our waiter brought a large platter with five kinds of whole fish. He described the fish itself and the various preparations available. He explained some would be enough for two while others would be individual serving size. I chose a rockfish with clams in a heavenly tomato based broth. It was the only thing the waiter was wrong about. It could have easily fed two. Again we perused the desserts aand let them know at the counter, then they were delivered by our waiter. It was attentive but leisurely service. The food was very, very good. Compared to what we pay at home it was very reasonable.
