Bottega Wine Bar, Coconut Creek

Bottega Wine Bar offers the sophistication of a wine bar with the easygoing vibe of your buddy's back porch. The back porch was actually the model for this innovative space, where a team of wine experts and chefs created a laid-back environment designed to spotlight wine without making it the centerpiece. They offer more than 50 types of wine on their curated list, and frequently help guests decide their favorites through free tastings. All of this vino pairs well with the kitchen's tapas-style small plates, which expand on the casual social vibe through bites of petit steak cichetti and meatball sliders that practically beg to be passed around the table.
