Simply called “Bottega” on Muntri Street, not “The” Bottega or “La” Bottega, this modest Italian Deli/Restaurant/Cafe is a few minutes walk from the famous Blue Mansion, and runs perpendicular through Love Lane.

Things to do : What tattooed folks have in common; They have tattoos. Period. And it’s very personal.
“”The first two years I had to work on my own, a baptism by fire, I had a trusted and excellent friend who really believed in me, I would say more than myself, and he allowed me to practice on real skin, his name is Luis, and he ended up with my most bizarre work.
