Best Place for Intimate Garden Party Wedding

The people - Devon & Sydney were a delight to work with. They were responsive, on top of things, and gracious throughout the process. Also, they offered suggestions based on what they saw worked/didn't work at other weddings, which was helpful in moments where we were undecided. They were on site during the event and made you feel like your event mattered. I would happily host with Bottino again and would request that they run point because it was a delight to work with them.
The logistics - having both the ceremony & reception on site made it easy for everyone. I had guests come up to say how much they liked being in one spot. The modest fee to do the ceremony there was well worth it, esp. if you have no patience for coordinating buses from another location! The ceremony with the brick wall & ivy as the backdrop looked stunning in our photos (though it will make the aisle a little smaller). And as soon as we walked down the aisle, the party got underway so it didn't feel like there was any lost time on a day that already felt sped up. Also, they offered recommendations for several florists who previously did events at Bottino, and we ended up using one of them (again, easy logistics!) and because she knew the space, we were thrilled with how she worked to transform it.
The food - we cared a great deal about feeding our guests and serving delicious food and drinks at our wedding. We are delighted to say that we had multiple people come up to us both during the evening and afterwards to comment on how much they enjoyed their meal.  The steak and branzino entrees in particular were called out as being "perfectly cooked". As someone who has a food allergy, I was most appreciative that they made sure that a plate of appetizers for me specifically, so I ate something during cocktail hour. And they allowed you to do a few specialty drinks to have some ready to go and passed around post-ceremony to go to help reduce lines at the bar.  You could pick anything from the drink menu, so we had one wine, one beer, one cocktail that we thought would be well received across the guests for no extra cost.

Fantastic from start to finish

We cannot say enough good things about Bottino. They were extremely kind and helpful from the day we visited through the wedding (and still to this day!). They were so responsive and easy to work with. We worked with an event manager, and they also provided a day-of coordinator in their regular pricing, which was a huge help. The food is *spectacular,* and the restaurant is so beautiful that we didn't even have to do much in the way of added decor. We can't recommend them enough!

Great choice for a wedding!

We had our wedding at Bottino on March 7,2026. We had about 115 guests and it was great! We had the glass enclosed and had most of our guests sitting, and some standing. Bottino worked with us to use a creative chair set up to create as many seats as possible. Sydney and Devon were wonderful to work with - they answered my many questions leading up to the event. They were efficient and easy to make decisions with. On the wedding day they had everything set up perfectly. They had service beyond our expectations - they found guests with dietary restrictions and made them their own gluten free meals. For my child guests they made them a special plate. All of this was unplanned and happened without me knowing! I highly recommend having an event here.

Incredible Wedding Venue for Intimate Wedding!

If you are thinking about having an event at Bottino, you should do it! I cannot recommend the team (Danny, Sydney, and Devon) enough! From the moment I reached out to inquire about the space to the moment our wedding ended every person we interacted with along the way was responsive, professional, helpful, and kind. We were lucky enough to have Sydney running the wedding and she went above and beyond to make sure every single detail was taken care of. She made the evening so memorable and enjoyable for us and our guests. The backyard space is beautiful and quiet, which makes for the perfect space for an intimate ceremony or dinner party. The food and service was incredible and we could not be happier we chose Bottino for our wedding.

Intimate & classy wedding venue in NYC

From the first visit at Bottino, I knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. This contemporary Italian restaurant located in Chelsea has a charming and cozy vibe. The food is amazing, and the outdoor patio/garden is ideal for an intimate ceremony. The staff, especially Danny and Sydney, is very friendly and responsive, making the overall experience very smooth even without a wedding planner. Our guests had a wonderful time! Thanks Bottino for this magical day!

Perfect Day

Perfect day thanks to my family who helped decorate and the staff of Bottino for great service. Sydney helped us through the whole process. The food is always delicious at Bottino. They were helpful suggestions a mock-tail for our “cheers”. Florals by Starbright NYC.

Just. Amazing.

Danny and his staff were a dream to work with. We were planning the wedding from out of state and the team was 1000000% responsive and accommodating the whole time. Bottino is a beautiful space. The food is wonderful, and the staff is A+. We couldn't have had a better experience. If you are looking for a special, intimate, and beautiful space, with an amazing staff, look no further. Special thanks to Danny, Sydney, and Devon for making our special day something we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Perfect space for small wedding!

I don't know where to even begin. Bottino exceeded all of my expectations! I had a small wedding (14 people total) and their spaces accommodated us so well. We held the ceremony in the beautiful North Garden and had our reception dinner in the private dining area found in the East Garden. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. Not to mention, I had been emailing the event managers, Sydney and Danny, for MONTHS to coordinate the wedding and they never ever made me feel like I was annoying. I appreciate everyone at Bottino so much.

They are the BEST!!!

I can't recommend them highly enough! The entire experience was magical-from the gorgeous garden to the fabulous food, every detail was perfect. The price was reasonable, the response time short and we felt fully supported the entire time. This is our new favorite spot. Try them and it will be yours as well!

A beautiful and intimate garden experience

This is a truly special venue. We rented out the private East Garden room for a family reception dinner after eloping. The staff couldn't have been more responsive and accommodating, answering all my questions before the event and meeting every possible need. It was a hot day and our original plan of being on the High Line before dinner got scrapped. The restaurant let us order cocktails at the bar in the AC early while they were setting up and technically still closed. They even provided a fresh watermelon juice at the start of dinner to help beat the heat. When researching restaurants in NYC to host, I struggled to find a place that was attractive, delicious, and reasonably priced. Bottino ticked every box and honestly exceeded my expectations! The garden is charming, the food and drinks are stellar, and the staff are the bomb. Our family couldn't stop raving about it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
