Amazing market and even better sandwiches. There was a super long line but that always means that the food is great. They did have 100 different cheeses but only three different options and when it came down to put in your sandwich.
Other than that the service was amazing and the employees were extremely friendly. For a nine dollar sandwich I would recommend this place to everyone.

If you haven't been here already you need to go! They have an awesome little shop where you can buy tonnes of different kinds of pasta and sauces! The deli inside makes delicious sandwiches and you can also buy Italian wines from here! Needless to say this is a one stop shop to grab a great sandwich, drink and dessert for a little romantic meal or picnic! We loved this place and the staff were friendly too.

Amazing spot in Byward market for lunch and definitely one of the best sandwich spots in the city! The sandwiches are amazing quality, super fresh & really well priced (I believe they were $7.95 over the summer). Great place to grab lunch for a picnic in Major Hills park!
They also have amazing grocery items and lots of Italian imports.

Great Italian grocery store offering a lot of Italian goods that you can't find anywhere else! Good selection of coffee, oil, pasta sauce, cheese, olives, and more.

I used to rave about the sandwiches that I used to get all the time during university. I would tell any and all colleagues visiting to come and try the sandwiches at Bottega especially being in the travel industry.
Having not been back in years I was craving to taste them again. I asked the gentleman to make two of his favourite combination sandwich and I got two of these.
Did policy get implemented? Did I just get unlucky? My memories of these sandwiches used to be so substantial. Not sure how I feel anymore about going back for them.
The store itself though is fantastic. Great selection of items.

If you like food and the finer things in life .. and all things essentially Italian. You need to go to La Bottega Nicastro in the ByWard Market is the spot for you. Lovely imported cookies and sweets. Pasta galore. All the condiments and antipasto type foods you can possibly want .. and the deli meats and cheeses are **chefs kiss** need a quick espresso or the kind of build your own sandwich that will make Tony Soprano jealous.. this is your spot ! La Bottega even has a really cool selection of merch..Drop in check it out .. I can assure you it won’t be your last visit

My favorite place in Ottawa for sure. Absolutely incredible selection of food, snacks, cheese, you name it. I'm going to hit them up once Morea before the flight home for an Italian creme cake and another mortadello and spicy eggplant sandwich.

I regret not visiting this place before! Never knew inside of the store was big and it had so many unique products to buy.
I finally got my hands on chestnut puree! 🌰
They also have pistachio cream, and triple chocolate biscotti which I liked very much.
