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.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
