La Bottega Italian Gourmet will be opening a restaurant in Glen Cove.  The chain leased a 2,500-square-foot freestanding building in the Orchard Plaza shopping center at 192 Glen St.  The space was formerly occupied by iSouvlaki, which closed towards the end of last year. 

Founded in 2003 by Giuseppe and Marisa Ruta, the La Bottega chain has eight Long Island locations, including Garden City, Roslyn, Oceanside, Rockville Centre, Long Beach, Merrick, East Meadow and Syosset. La Bottega offers a menu of over 60 panini, 25 salads, and a weekly changing menu of Italian-inspired dishes, including “dinner in the box” for customers on the go.
