Michael Chiarello's restaurant is over-rated
I've NEVER had anything served to me in any restaurant that I found inedible until I dined at Bottega a few weeks ago. Honestly, I'm a well heeled diner and acclaimed cook but I could not eat the crispy rabbit. Aside from the tasteless and mushy meat under the crunchy breading, the sauce was so sweet that I could not eat it. I'm not adverse to eating sweet sauces, but this was over the top sweet. Our dinner was just mediocre, including appetizers and entrees (including the entree that replaced the rabbit).

Never had that dish. I tend to stay away from entrees as most places seem to excel at appetizers. At Bottega I enjoyed the fried bread and prosciutto and my SO had a duck gnocci dish that was tasty. But I live in the area, so would be disappointed if this was a destination restaurant....
