Buon Natale!
Christmas at Bottega is full of long Italian lunches, special events and Christmas treats, many imported by us from our family and friends back home. Lots of Strega Panettone, all the way from our hometown Benevento. Chocolates, wines, stocking fillers. Beautiful ceramics from Minnie-Mae Design Studio, Sarah Daly, Riv & Read; candles, wrapping paper……. lots and lots!
