Some of the finest Italian food you'll ever find. Expertly prepared homemade ravioli, veal and seafood satisfy the most discriminating palate. One of the top spots for Birmingham locals. For a more casual experience, dine in the sister café next door.

This café is known as the flip side of the Bottega Restaurant. The locals know where to go for a varied menu that changes seasonally, yet always includes staples such as fresh sandwiches, pasta, salads, and pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven. Outdoor dining is available on the patio. Business casual dress.

This cozy little cafe serves excellent Italian food. Even the pasta is made from scratch! The recipe for the house marinara sauce is so special that only locally grown peppers and tomatoes are acceptable. If you like authentic eats, this restaurant should be your destination. The owner doesn't advertise much and depends upon word of mouth. People must be talking, for the restaurant has been in business for over 18 years. Reservations recommended. Dress is business casual.

Locals have been frequenting the Cobb Lane Restaurant since World War II. Occasions are seemingly more special when they're held at Cobb Lane! Famous for its rich she-crab soup and consistently topnotch food, it's a popular spot for either special occasions or simple dining. Relaxed dining with superb service. Dine either inside or outside, depending upon the weather and your preference. Reservations suggested.

A bit of romantic Europe in the middle of Alabama! Chez LuLu serves gourmet pizzas, sandwiches, and salads along with sinful dessert selections like crustless cheesecake, bread pudding du jour and seasonal pies. The decor pairs mismatched tables and place settings with some very interesting artwork. Open later on weekends. Be sure to stop in on Sunday for brunch.
