🍝 È troppo buono! 🇮🇹

Bring the authentic taste of Puglia right to your kitchen table. We are thrilled to introduce Pasta Riscossa at Bottega!

Since 1902, the Mastromauro family has been mastering the art of pasta-making, using only 100% durum wheat semolina and classic traditions passed down through generations. It’s not just pasta—it’s over 120 years of pure Italian passion (Passione per la pasta dal 1902).

To celebrate its arrival, we want you to try it all!

We just got back from our trip to Cleto- our hometown in Calabria, Italy - to inspect this year’s olive harvest. We have some incredible news about our ORO DI CLETO extra virgin olive oil.

Our olive inspectors noted that lower rainfall this season naturally produced fewer olives, but the quality of the fruit is impeccable. With less water content in the olives, the olive oil will have a higher concentration of rich flavour, deep aromas, and healthy polyphenols. The 2026 harvest is set to deliver one of our most potent, exceptional oils yet. 🇮🇹

Calabria is famous for its olive groves, and we are so grateful that our family still lovingly tends to our ancestral trees in Cleto. From our family’s grove directly to our shop, there are no middlemen:

☀️ Grown in Calabria
🫒 Produced in Calabria
🍁 Enjoyed in Ottawa

1972: Tutto è iniziato qui. (Everything started here.) 🇮🇹❤️

Before La Bottega became a staple in the Byward Market, our Ottawa family story started right here at the original Nicastro Bros. shop on Gladstone Ave.

Decades later, we’re still honouring the legacy built by the generations before us—bringing authentic Italian food, traditions, and passion to your table every single day.

Trends come and go, but you can’t buy experience. It’s passed down. It’s built over decades of early mornings, shared wisdom, and a deep respect for authentic Italian heritage.

From our counter to your family table, thank you for being a part of the Nicastro journey. Here’s to honouring our roots and continuing the legacy. 🍷🍝
