La Bottega Wine Bar was established in 2006. Joe Mauro, a business associate of Giuseppe Ruta (creator of La Bottega Italian Gourmet), decided to open a sister business to his already established Cardinali Bakery. Located conveniently next door to each other, these locations make a happy marriage of great Italian food and decadent desserts. This La Bottega offers a large variety of panini and salads, along with a full dinner menu of Italian dishes and weekly changing specials. Its serves to be a popular Italian eatery for the Carle Place and Westbury residents. |
