La Bottiglia Italian Restaurant - (Near Staten Island, NY)

Guy Leo I have eaten Mexican food throughout the US. I have always eaten at places run by authentic Mexican cooks. I look at cost, taste, presentation and portion size. Depending on where you are in the US usually guides the spice levels. If your near Mexico it’s hotter and if your in Maine it’s not as hot. At least that’s been my experience. Juan is a very nice guy with very little personality on the front end. However, you can tell he cares but suffers from language issues. The food here is authentic and the flavors are not to strong and not to weak. I have eaten here several times and always left not being hungry and happy. I’ve eaten all over the Capital district and had a little better here and there but paid way way more. For what this place charges and what you get here in little ole Johnstown, this is one heck of a place. I have included some pictures and just tell Juan, “some guy sent you” Give this place a try it’s really good. Update-we went for cinco de Mayo on May 5th 2022. We had a blast with some great beers and the restaurant filled up with people at every table. We ate dinner and it was really good as usual. We got to know the owner better and he is a really nice guy. His whole family has restaurants throughout the U.S. we will include some more pictures with this post. It’s July 25, 2022 and we just had diner. I had 3 chicken and 3 beef empeñadas and they melted in my mouth with a deep flavor of deliciousness. Additionally, I had a beef taco in the shell and soft. Both were very scrumptious. Lastly, I had one chili Rellenos. It was blacked and the cheese and spice were just right. I cut little pieces off and ate them on top of my empanada bites. I don’t eat here all the time but when I do I always leave happy and full. Nice to have something different in our area. Go! Go! Go! tell them “some guy sent you.”

Kate Howard Weve enjoyed every visit to Hacienda! Pro tip, while theyre busy many week nights, Sunday afternoons seem a little slower which means easier parking and a super relaxed atmosphere. The quality of the food is superb, the menu selections are numerous - theres something for everyone, even a picky 10 year old. The price is perfectly reasonable. Staff are friendly and helpful. Ive never had a dish I didnt *love* and my husband feels the same.

Eddie Hayek Only 25min from the Canadian/American borders. Just like in Texas the prime steak was A1, perfectly cooked and the Smokey flavour is when your eyes roll back of yumminess! They have kid menu too!

Amanda Gallagher We tried this restaurant tonight & I could not be more impressed! Every item is, or is available, gluten-free. The only things not gluten-free is the pasta & rolls, but gluten-free is available. The fryer is gluten-free only so fries are safe for even Celiacs! I personally had the fish & chips, which is fried gluten free cod, & was incredible! Other menu items (curry & fried rice special with GF fried tofu pictured) also looked amazing! There is no doubt that will be back again soon!!!! Need to try the mac & cheese and so many other menu options!!!!

Tyler Aaron I ordered some Calamares Frito, French Fries, and Pechuga Del Valle! The Pechuga has a creamy cheese sauce poured over chicken breast stuffed with sweet plantains & mozzarella. It was superb! French Fries is also very flavorful, I like this version. Meanwhile, I wish the Calamares is crispier. I think its chewier than it should be. Overall, good food and beautiful place!

Sarah Foster We brought a large group there on a Saturday. (35 people) The restaurant was great. Despite already having a crowd there, they were able to accommodate us quickly. The food was delicious. (We loved the hamburgers and the chicken pot pie.) The service was friendly and efficient. Great place to stop. Thank you for hosting us.
