Discovering Bottega Italiana – Your Go-To Italian Food Shop in London

When you think of an Italian food shop in London, what comes to mind? For us, it’s a sensory voyage: the crackle of fresh focaccia, the gleam of artisanal olive oil bottles, and the joyful chatter of staff eager to share their heritage. At Bottega Italiana, tucked away at 686 Fulham Road, we’ve recreated that piazza atmosphere so every visit feels like stepping off the Tube straight into a sun-lit trattoria in Rome or a hilltop farm in Tuscany.

Authenticity in Every Aisle

Our story began with a simple yet ambitious mission: bring home the finest small-batch specialties from Italy’s family producers. That means our pasta selection isn’t a mass-market mix but a curated showcase of bronze-drawn spaghetti, hand-rolled gnocchi, and artisanal orecchiette. Each variety delivers al dente perfection because it’s made from 100 % Italian durum wheat, extruded through bronze dies for that classic rough texture that clings to sauce.

Beyond pasta, our shelves groan under premium Parmigiano-Reggiano aged up to 36 months, pungent Pecorino from Sardinia, and creamy burrata plunged into brine just hours before delivery. Our charcuterie case presents Prosciutto di Parma, spicy ’Nduja from Calabria, and wild-fenel–studded salami from Tuscany—each slice a testament to centuries-old curing traditions.

More Than Groceries: An Experience

At Bottega Italiana, shopping becomes an occasion. Friendly, Italian-born staff guide you through pairing suggestions: a Piedmont red with aged Fontina, a Venetian prosecco beside fresh seafood antipasti. You can sample single-estate extra-virgin olive oils—Tuscan, Sicilian or Puglian—and taste test San Marzano tomato sauces simmered only with basil and garlic.

Don’t miss our weekly in-store tastings, where you’ll learn the difference between Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano or cook alongside our chefs as they demo fresh ravioli preparation. All events reinforce why we’re the go-to Italian food shop in London for gourmets and casual cooks alike.

Rotisserie Chicken: A New Star

We’ve recently added another highlight: our rotisserie chicken, seasoned with a secret blend of rosemary, oregano, garlic and lemon—the very same dedication to authenticity that defines our imported groceries. Crispy skin gives way to succulent meat, perfect for a quick dinner or as the centerpiece of a family feast.

Why Bottega Italiana?

Because we believe true Italian gastronomy is about community. By sourcing directly from Italy’s best small producers and sharing their stories, we foster a deeper connection between our customers and the land that gives us such bounty.
