When in Tucson, do as the Tucsonans do, which is currently for many, a late breakfast with bottomless mimosas.

The brunch trend is alive and well from 10 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. at Bottega Michelangelo, and it’s brunch menu is just one of the latest additions to the historic restaurant’s re-imagined menu.

There’s plenty of choices to be made during brunch on North Oracle Road, but Bottega Michelangelo – the new and improved Michelangelo Ristorante Italiano – is in a class of its own when it comes to brunch.

The Italian restaurant had a recent makeover in 2017, which brought in casual interior with its updated name. (Check out our recent article on the major changes that went down at Bottega Michelangelo.)

While it’s still a restaurant that’s fit for romance and first dates, it’s also converted into a place that’s great for small bites and glass of wine at the bar, dinner with the family, and, of course, a classy brunch spot.

As mentioned above, the newly crafted brunch menu features bottomless mimosas, which are $12 per person with any brunch purchase, but there’s more to the menu to satisfy your savory needs, too.

The Bottega Michelangelo brunch menu has been designed to fill multiple needs, with items such as classic breakfast dishes, meals for the younger Italian food aficionados, and even cuisine that stretches beyond your typical breakfast items.
