"Verdict: Bottarga in Chelsea has got whatever ‘it’ is. It’s effortless, it’s chic, it’s cool, and some of the Greek dishes (cc: lamb belly) need to be studied for their crisp-factor, while others are missable. There’s a formula to a perfect night here, so order correctly and you will be pleased. For a same-week booking, call and ask for a table at the bar or the outside terrace. FYI, the terrace is covered, heated, and actually quite charming. Also, be open to a Monday dinner." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
