The Bottle Inn Riviera

Always a great choice, the food is fresh, delicious and authentic Italian. The servers are professional and serving you with a genuine smile. They have seating indoors and outdoors, reservations are encouraged specially on weekends. We will keep it on our favorite list.

Food was really good. Came out in a timely manner.
I shared the house salad which was super delicious and the vegetarian Fettiucini. My husband is vegan and they easily accommodated his needs while still not compromising the flavor. Will go back again.

The service was really really great, the food was decent, ordered artichoke hearts and they were canned. Bummer. Downfall was they were playing Journey (the band) super loud. We thought we were gonna enjoy a nice glass of wine with Italian food, maybe Italian or some calm music on, but instead had journey playing. Not gonna lie… «Don’t stop believing «killed any good vibes this place might have.

I love the food here!
We came to eat dinner here for my boyfriends fathers office party and it was delicious.
Their menu has a variety of options if you want a salad, seafood, meat or are a vegetarian you will find something delicious here.
They have a great wine menu and give you delicious buttery garlic bread.
I got the salmon al vodka and it was amazing. The salmon had a yummy crust and was cooked perfectly. The vodka sauce was really great and tasted delicious with the bread.
Very friendly service and will definitely be coming back!

My wife and I called the Bottle Inn late one night to ask if they were still serving dinner.
The owner was there and told us they will be happy to serve us so went raced down and had a very pleasant meal and wine. mWe have been back several times.
Thank you for a nice neighborly restaurant we can all enjoy!

Wonderful meal, great service, charming dining area and very nice outdoor seating. Risotto Crab Cakes app, 2 mains and 2 glasses of nice wine was just over $ 100. Portions were a nice balance of quality, richness and proportion.
We will definately be back!

I would give this business 0 stars if I had the option. At their price point, I figured I would get quality produce, however I thought wrong. I woke up in the middle of the night with food poisoning, as did another family member. This business didn’t address the issue, obviously they don’t seem to care. I’ll have to report them to the health department should they choose to dismiss this.

This is normally my favorite Italian spot in the Village. But we ate there the other night, no one was there, and food was par, and shortly after we ate, I felt ill and my stomach was so upset. My son woke up at 1am sick as a dog. Throwing up and I won’t go into detail, but it was bad. I called the restaurant the next day, just to let them know in case someone else got sick, so they can throw away any bad produce or just be aware of it. The girl who answered the phone, could care less. She didn’t even ask what we ordered or how we were feeling.
Shame. Sad that they didn’t care. And I’m disappointed we had bad food at a spot that use to be good.
Be ware.

The two stars is for our waiter. The service was fine here. The food however was a huge disappointment especially for what they charge. We started off with the calamari it was an over fried salty mess should have just taken that as a sign but no decided to continue, then came my doughy gnocchi which left something to be desired and finally since i was still hungry we decided to go with cheesecake for dessert because how hard is it to screw up cheesecake well guess what they did. It tasted like it came right out of the costco box. was not homemade that is for sure. We spent over $ 150 for a dinner that left us both hungry and disappointed. I should have just walked ten steps further to Bottega Romana. Learned an expensive lesson here.

Love this place!!! The pollo basilico (?) is just hands down the best! On this particular visit we accidentally showed up at closing, Unilocal stated that they close at 11 but really they closed at 10. We got there at about 9:50 which I hate doing! But the server was very sweet and accommodating. We quickly ordered a cheesy appetizer that had the same sauce as the pollo basilico and it was awesome! I ordered the polenta lasagne just to try something new and it was great! But nothing beats the rigatoni pollo basilico (I hope that’s actually what it’s called)! And I will always come back for that :)

Meh. We’ve been about ten times and each time, it’s a little worse that before. I hate to say it.
We went tonight, Wednesday, for the last half hour of Happy Hour. The $ 6 glass of HH Chardonnay had maybe 4 ounces in it. The glass was about ¼ full. Our waiter didn’t know how to pronounce ‘Terrine’ (on the HH menu). We waited a long time for our three items: pizza, terrine and Brussels Sprouts. All average in taste, if not a bit salty.
Hubby’s Arnold Palmer was made with Raspberry flavored ice tea. Ick.
When we arrived, we asked to sit outside. A few of the tables seemed pushed together as if waiting for a group. Those tables had tablecloths. Ours did not. Another group sat down near us and asked for a tablecloth and the waitress informed them they were ‘out’ of tablecloths. Really??? These ladies then asked to speak to the bartender to help them select their wine. The waitress simply replied, oh I can help you with that. You could tell the ladies were getting the brush off and they also murmured about the declining service.
Maybe an off night, maybe not. When we left over an hour later, no one had been seated at the tablecloth tables.
I don’t think we will be going back for a good long while. It was fun when they were new; not so much now.

This was my second visit to The Bottle Inn in Riviera Village and the service and meal was very enjoyable. The waitress was very friendly and very attentive. I had the cioppino and it was full of fish, including salmon and plenty of shellfish. The broth was thick and very flavorful. The soup stayed hot the entire time. Along with a glass of chianti it was great. The bus boy checked in regularly to see if we needed more bread (which is yummy!) and water. I will definitely go back.

Waited legitimately over an hour for the food to arrive. The waitress was very nice but ticket time from order to food on the table was ridiculous. Every other table received there food before we did. The excuse from the manager was that the kitchen pushes the simpler tickets to the back to handle the more complicated items and we may have been overlooked. Manager was nice as well but the owner dropped the food off at our table without saying a word.
So basically he hires sweet waitresses and managers but sucks at his own customer service.
Won’t do it again.

Back again at Bottle Inn. If you ever have a chance to sit at bar and interact with Amanda please do. She is amazing to interact with. It’s always a joy to see her. And she did take genuine interest in my well fare when I had one too many. Food and wine list is awesome.

I am puzzled why the food is classified here as American traditional when it is quite Italian. and very good at that We went for my fiancé’s birthday dinner on a Tuesday night when we were not sure if the kitchen would be at their best. well, having only been there that evening, I can’t say if this is their best but it was very, very good
We had cups of soup-​the pasta fagioli and the Italian Wedding soup, and between that and the bread, it would have made a great light meal
My eggplant dish was extremely good, an interesting variation which added a touch of bechamel sauce and some other veggies-​my fiancé was ecstatic about the Salmon a la Vodka which I had been thinking might not be the best thing to order and the dessert was good as well, a light lemon cake
the only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that the spinach was quite bitter, they didn’t have mint tea and though I had mentioned both when making the reservation and when confirming that it was a special occasion, my fiancé’s birthday, there was no recognition of that though the party at a table to the rear of us had a birthday, and were given a dessert complete with candles it was also a little uncomfortable, no booths and rather loud as it is quite small and the bar is well attended
I do look forward to eating here again

Excellent food. Great service. Machelle, our waitress was SOOoO very kind and nice. Gave a very inviting feel. The Italian food has a different and tasty side to it, than any Italian good I have tasted. A Must to go to, if you live in the South Bay and want a romantic night with your love. Ask for Machelle and have a candle light dinner!

Food was amazing… I had the Lasagna Polenta and even though I was full I had to finish it to the last bite. My husband had the Piccata Veal and that was also mouth watering! Michelle our waitress was great! Friendly and wonderful service. Definitely recommend… Happy with our date night selection!

Saturday night March 14, 2015, 7:30 — 9:30
OMG the food was heavenly! we had both salmon and beef carpaccio then split the risotto — scrumptious! the only complaints are:
when I asked how much the bottle of wine was I was told $ 34, we were charged $ 44.
we were splitting the bill — so we had both cash and credit card. i explained we were splitting the bill when I handed the bill with payment to a woman behind the bar. she said OK and proceeded to apply all of the cash then place the remainder onto the credit card. these issues simply showed a lack of listening or giving a crap by the girls behind the bar. the kitchen on the other hand is stellar. my advice, don’t eat at the bar even if you are encouraged to, as we were.
this was my first visit to this location but have loved the Hermosa Beach location forever.

We were walking to Sophie’s for brunch when we walked past Bottle Inn Riviera and someone handed us a flyer. We literally stopped in our tracks when we saw «Free mimosas.» We immediately turned around and started our journey to Sugartown.
I scarfed down the perfectly crispy-​crusty bread, then got the French toast to continue my carbo-​overload. The bf got the strawberry waffles with Nutella and pretty much couldn’t stop quoting Elf and smiling. We are currently contemplating how we are going to stand and I’m seriously regretting wearing my bathing suit under my dress.

Have lived in Redondo for 4 months now, and coming from the East Coast, I have been disappointed in the food options. Delivery — horrible. Upside — cook at home more. Dinner out — mediocre to fine, good — not great.
Until tonight.
Bottle Inn — you’re my new go-​to, but limited to Italian so a weekly venture probably won’t happen… but that’s my own preference to have more options.
On to the review:
Service — Fantastic. Wine, beer and water filled when needed. Order taken in appropriate amount of time and input on decisions was insightful (I was debating between a few).
Best red wine I’ve had out. Was ordering by the glass and got the Barbera. super light (yet rich) and no aftertaste, even bough Barbera’s are known for being full bodied and heavy.
Ordered the stuffed shells. Never had this out, and usually wouldn’t order assuming it would be too… meaty, and too cheesy. It was none of those. Super delicate pasta, cooked al Dente. Fabulous filling hearty enough to fill you up but too dense or heavy. The filling was great. The «cream» was like dollops or pillows on top. so if you want baked ziti, you’re disappointed. But
you want real food, with a nice flavor profile, you’re really happy by the blend of flavor that’s not overwhelming. I’m in the latter camp.
The other interesting thing was the Pomodoro sauce. I assume sit was closer to stewed tomatoes — fresh, light, not saucy. It was not this, and I was pleasantly surprised. The Pomodoro is a classic tomato sauce with a ring of EVOO and basil. The sauce is amazing. Dunkable good.
And the garlic bread they serve with the meal is awesome. I hate butter but it was drenched in so much garlic that I couldn’t taste it (the butter) which I loved. If you don’t like garlicw, don’t indulge.
My jersey italian bf loved it, and so did it.
We’ll be back!
