Bella Bottega - Irwindale

Been sleeping on this place so far sandwiches and pastrami fries are delicious

Their burgers are probably one of the best that I've ever had. They're also huge as well. Along with the side of fries, it's probably enough for 2 meals for me. It's just a shame that they're only open for 5 and a half hours on weekdays, but I'm assuming that that's because most of their business comes from the workers from surrounding businesses. I've ordered the Bottega Burger $13 , the BBQ Bacon Burger $13 , and JT's Mushroom Swiss Burger my creation! $12 . All of the burgers are really good and I don't think you can go wrong with whichever burger you pick as long as you like the toppings on them. The patties are medium rare, which is just the way I like them. I took off a star because I tried to come in once during business hours when they were supposed to be open and they were closed. Another time I came in they said they didn't have the ingredients for one of the items but I learned later from the manager that they actually did have the ingredients, but I had already ordered something and left by that time. I also think that they gave me ranch for my mushroom swiss burger instead of the garlic aioli that was supposed to come with it. I've also tried their chocolate chip cookies and those are delicious as well! If they have those available when you come in, I definitely recommend getting over with your order. As for covid regulations they just recently allowed indoor dining, and they taped their menu down on the table so that you don't have to touch it to look at it. All of their seating areas are actually spread 6' apart. However, they don't supply hand sanitizer nor do they have acrylic shields at the counter. The cashier didn't have gloves on but I would hope that the cook has gloves on, but I couldn't see. Both did have masks though.

I liked their spaghetti and meatballs definitely 8 out of 10 avoid getting the lasagna the one they gave me yesterday was burnt at the bottom...

Try to call to place a pick up order and they dont answer the phone.

Not sure if its got new management but the service was kinda shady wont be heading back any time soon
