Bottega Restaurant & Cafe

Our restaurant group includes, Bottega Restaurant, Bottega Café, Chez Fonfon and Highlands Bar & Grill. Located in Birmingham, AL, we are quality driven and interested in surrounding ourselves with people who have a passion for a greater knowledge of food, beverage, and hospitality. Our belief is that focus on the details truly makes a difference in providing our guests an extraordinary experience—whether in our casual Café or white table clothed Highlands’ dining room.

Each restaurant, as well as owners Frank and Pardis Stitt, have been recognized in publications such as The New York Times, Bon Appétit, Southern Living, Garden & Gun, Food + Wine and Southern Foodway Alliance’s Gravy.

Bottega features flavors inspired by the wine bars and trattorias of Italy–from Venice to Palermo. The best aperitifs, wines, beers, cocktails, savory bites and sublime desserts are offered in a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. Italy inspires the cuisine, carefully crafted by linking ingredients from the American South with artisanal producers from the Italian countryside. The formal dining room first welcomed guests in 1988 in the historic Beaux-Arts building. Two years later, the Café opened in the adjoining space, with a menu built around pizzas and dishes cooked in a wood-burning oven.
