Bottega Luisa

Giovanni Di Palma recently expanded his empire with Italian grocery Bottega Luisa, across the street from his own Antico Pizza, Caffe Gio, and Gio’s Chicken Amalfitano. Named after Di Palma’s grandmother, the bottega sells personal-sized pies from Antico and prepared pastas from Gio’s, as well as cured meats and desserts like gelato and cheesecake. Both the bottega and Bar Amalfi, the limoncello bar next door, bring Di Palma one step closer to completing the Piazza San Gennaro, Westside’s own Little Italy.
