A Real Story

A Christening They'll Never Forget

"We booked La Botte D'Oro for our daughter's christening lunch — 60 guests, the whole restaurant to ourselves. Gabriele was extraordinary from start to finish. The lamb ragù had everyone emotional, the cannoli were made fresh on the day, and the service never skipped a beat. It felt exactly like being back home in Italy, surrounded by family. We cannot thank them enough."
