Botto Bistro in Richmond, California is unconcerned about its Yelp rating. In an effort to undermine the reliability of its Yelp page, Botto Bistro is working to be the worst-rated restaurant in the Bay Area and is encouraging its customers to leave one-star Yelp reviews and offering deals for anyone who writes a bad review: 25% off any pizza and a chance to win a cooking class.
Chefs and co-owners Davide Cerretini and Michele Massimo sayt their food is excellent and they run a busy restaurant. According to Cerretini, they're tired of the constant advertising inquiries from Yelp, and their “blackmailing” and review manipulation.
