Wonderful shop, products & staff. We used the catering boxes & everything was perfect. Nice quantities, nice balance between meats/ cheeses/ crackers/ nuts/ olives. It has become an instant classic. Great job to all & our thanks to the Bottega to be such an amazing store in our city.View more

Manager reamed cashier for not greeting customers appropriately after transaction. Poor kid could've been handled better privately, manager doesn't know how to manage. Love the store definitely a sour experience tho.View more

The sign said $4.99. When scanned, the computer said $4.99. The older woman cash attendant with short grey hair looked at me & looked at the pasta & based on nothing but I assume vibes & aura, decided the pasta MUST be $7.99 & charged me that price. She had scanned everything else but before even scanning it, decided to ask the girl the cost rather than just scanning it. & even after doing so, decided, it was wrong. I was in a rush. & yea, it's only $3. But trust me, i'm never shopping there again.View more

Listen: I worked in the byward market for years & la bottega has the best sandwiches of anywhere I've ever gone in Ottawa. But I'm leaving this review with 5 stars not to penalize this location but to share my grievance over the sandwiches served at the la bottega franchise in the Ottawa airport which isn't on Google maps. $19 for one of the worst, most pathetic sandwiches I've ever eaten. If I were an Ottawa tourist & I tried this at the airport I'd then avoid the byward market location. You're doing a disservice to yourselves. I don't know how the management differs between the two but I would reconsider what you're doing in the Ottawa airport.View more

Loved this little shop with the café in the back! Had a late lunch & it was so good. The rabbit parfait was delicious & they have a very nice selection of wines & a very well stocked market. You must buy some of the Parma Prosciutto (outstanding quality), a baguette, some cheese, olives & maybe a bottle of wine to enjoy for a laid back night after a long day sightseeing, you will not regret it. Looking forward to coming back!View more
