The story
La Bottega, now called La Puglia by Toto, has been part of Eupen's dining scene since 2001. What began as a small Italian restaurant grew through constant innovation and the suggestions of its guests. The team describes the result as the restaurant of their dreams: a place that feels like home, where new dishes made with fresh products appear regularly. "For us, La Puglia by Toto is a true love story," they say.
The kitchen works with quality ingredients shipped straight from Italy. The menu marries traditional Italian cooking with modern, innovative touches. All pasta, lasagne, cannelloni, and pizzas are 100% gluten-free – a rarity that makes the restaurant especially welcoming. Vegetarian, vegan, and lactose-free options are also available. The pizza list alone offers dozens of variations, from a classic Margherita to creative signatures like the Toto (aubergines, mushrooms, artichokes, anchovies, roquefort, spicy oil) and the "Humeur du chef" – a little of everything depending on the chef's mood.
The interior is cosy; in good weather the terrace opens for al fresco dining. The atmosphere is laid-back and family-friendly. Air conditioning keeps things comfortable, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible.
Michelin has taken note of the consistent quality, awarding La Bottega its "Recommended" distinction in 2026. The guide's inspectors appreciate the genuine Italian experience, the direct sourcing from Italy, and the warm hospitality that defines this Eupen institution.
