LA TARTUFATA – SHOWROOM, DELI & a TASTE JOURNEY TO ITALY
Welcome to our showroom and deli in the heart of Helsinki—your one-stop destination for the finest Italian ingredients, gourmet gifts, tasting events, and travel inspiration.
La Tartufata – Discover Italian flavors and experiences in Helsinki
Since 2011, La Tartufata has offered more than just a delicatessen—it’s a place to experience, taste, learn, and be inspired. Passionate about food and design, we carefully select products based on quality, authenticity, and taste.
We’re especially known for our fresh truffles, available according to the season. You'll also find a wide selection of responsibly sourced caviar, extra virgin olive oils, balsamic vinegars, pasta, coffee, and other gourmet products. Our cold counter is updated weekly with cheeses and cured meats from small and mid-sized Italian producers—many of whom we know personally.
La Tartufata is also a venue for events: we host tastings, offer private evening bookings, provide catering services, and organize food-focused trips to Italy—including house rentals in Piedmont.
A Home for Italian Flavors – and a Proper Italian Coffee Break
La Tartufata is the go-to spot for premium Italian ingredients, whether you’re cooking at home or looking for a tasteful gift. We're happy to help you choose products and share tips for bringing authentic Italian flavors to your table.
Take a moment to enjoy a cup of Hausbrandt coffee or a fine Tea Forté selection—available to enjoy on-site or to go.

Trips & Experiences
Culinary Italy Tours & Rental House in Piedmont
We organize culinary group trips especially to Northern Italy’s gems: Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Piedmont, and Liguria. These trips offer opportunities to meet our producers, enjoy authentic taste experiences, and take in stunning landscapes, local culture, and like-minded company.
Trips typically run from Wednesday or Thursday through Monday, with groups capped at 16 people. We can also tailor trips to suit hobby groups, work teams, or friends.
La Casa Chiappelle is a charming, restored two-story stone house in Cortemilia, Piedmont. It accommodates up to 8 guests with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen, living room, covered terrace, garden, and a new swimming pool completed in spring 2025. It’s the perfect base for food and wine lovers who want a peaceful getaway: spend your days exploring Piedmont’s small villages, hiking the hills, or visiting local producers—and unwind in the evenings by the pool and terrace.
