Best Italian Restaurants in Birmingham
One Italian spot clears our bar in Birmingham. It's not a fluke.
Bottega carries Delicious, a James Beard Finalist 2026 nod, and a Michelin Selected 2025 badge, all at once, in Five Points South. Birmingham's Italian scene is thin on our board right now, but this is a real one — $$$ and worth the price. One spot isn't a list. It's a floor.
