The requirement is to return the item id in the query string on button click.
I added a template in the rendering variant and added the following line
<a href="https://some url?itemid=$item.ID">Button text</a>
Now, I want button text to come from the sitecore field. $item.fieldName is not working. What is the right way of reading the text from the sitecore field in this case?

I am in doubt now that Dawid says it doesn't exist ootb, but I have something like this working:
$item.Fields.BookLink.ToString()
where "BookLink" is the name of my field. Hopefully your field does not have a space in the name ;)
The "ToString" was needed in our case as we wanted to check if it was empty (see Using #if in SXA variant NVelocity template).

In addition to the method that @Gatogordo suggested you can use this method if your field has spaces in the name:
$item.Fields.get_Item("A Field With Spaces")
You can add .ToString() in the same way as it is used in the other answer.
