Sandwiches were great for the quality and taste vs price. The service was fast although they were quite busy. Too compact space and only a few tables on the sidewalk.

If you’re a big fan of sandwiches, this Italian sandwich bar is a must try! I had the Giardino and Mortazza, both on focaccia, and they were absolutely delicious—every bite was amazing. Each sandwich is made to order with fresh ingredients, well balanced flavours, and generous portions. For a spot in Manly, the prices are pretty reasonable—around $15 to $18. Great value for such quality!

I’m back at this shop today for the second time! I grabbed an ice latte with an extra shot to keep me going. Plus, their sandwiches are seriously amazing! And the service? Always top-notch, super friendly, and always with a smile. One of the best coffee spots in Manly, hands down!

I had the best focaccia sandwich in Manly, crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and packed with flavor. Their ham and pistachio was my favorite, I never knew ham and pistachios could work so perfectly together! The saltiness of the ham, the subtle crunch and nuttiness from the pistachios, all nestled in that warm, freshly baked focaccia,absolute perfection. Still thinking about it. If you’re in Manly, do yourself a favor and try it!

We loved this place. Stopped by Bottega in Manly for lunch and were seriously impressed. The baguette sandwich was fresh, full of flavour, and made with real care. Everything tasted just right, simple, high-quality ingredients done really well. The focaccia was just as good. Light, warm, and perfectly baked. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The service was a standout too. Super friendly, welcoming, and just made the whole experience even better. If you're in Manly, definitely check it out. Great food, great people, we’ll absolutely be back.

Hole in a wall sandwich shop that took us for surprise. The bread and fillings were so so good. Bread was crispy and the cheese was soft and delicious. Seatings are limited and pigeons stand nearby waiting for a chance to eat your bread. Service was quite slow but they’re trying their best. Appreciate the effort and food. Will come back !
