Italian Deli Amsterdam: about us

Amsterdam · De Pijp · Van Woustraat 201

The Italian deli Amsterdam has been waiting for

Small producers. Real stories. Pantry essentials, workshops, team buildings and a little corner of Sicily in the heart of De Pijp.

There is a moment when you walk into La Bottega and the time slows down. The smell of good olive oil, the jars lined up on wooden shelves, the sound of someone making coffee behind the counter. It takes about three seconds before you feel like you are somewhere else entirely.

La Bottega by Chiara's Food is an Italian deli in Amsterdam De Pijp, born from a simple and stubborn conviction: that the best Italian food comes from small producers with names and stories, and that food brings people together. Every product on our shelves has a person behind it. We know who they are, where they live, and how they work.

You can shop our full range online and receive it anywhere in the Netherlands. Or you can come to Van Woustraat 201 and let us tell you the story in person.


What you find at La Bottega


We specialise in Sicilian and Southern Italian products: the kind that are hard to find and impossible to forget once you have tried them.

Artisan pasta
Bronze-drawn, slow-dried. Shapes you have never heard of and sauces to match.
Sicilian sauces
Tomato sauces made with three ingredients, the way Sicilian mothers have always made them.
Extra virgin olive oil
Cold-pressed, single-origin oils from small Sicilian estates. Green gold.
Natural wines and not only
Bottles from producers we have met, tasted, and believe in. Many from Etna.
Cannoli and homemade tiramisu
Made in house every day. The tiramisu you will keep thinking about.
Pantry essentials
Taralli, caponata, pesto, colatura di alici. The Sicilian pantry, all in one place.

All products are available online at chiarasfood.nl with free delivery in the Netherlands on orders over €70.

A Sicilian corner in De Pijp


La Bottega was born from a love for Italian food that goes beyond the obvious. Not just pizza and espresso, but the deeper pantry of Southern Italy: the volcanic terroir of Etna wines, the costoluto tomatoes of the Sicilian summer, the bronze moulds that give pasta its rough texture and the sauce something to hold onto.

"We know where everything comes from. We know the families who make it. That is the only way we know how to do this."

Our shop at Van Woustraat 201 is in the heart of De Pijp, one of Amsterdam's most beloved neighbourhoods. It is a small space that feels generous: shelves full of things worth discovering, a counter where you can have a coffee, a team that knows every product and loves talking about it. A real food community. A place where to come for a recipe, a hug, a human gesture. 

We ship everything across the Netherlands. If you are in Amsterdam, come in. If you are not, the pantry comes to you.
