DeLaurenti Food & Wine

I stumbled upon DeLaurenti Food & Wine while exploring Pike Place Market during our conference break. The inviting aroma of espresso drew us in, and we found ourselves surrounded by an array of specialty foods and wines.

We couldn't resist trying their chocolate chip hazelnut, and it didn't disappoint. The combination of chocolate and nutty flavors was spot-on, leaving us craving more.

What really stood out, though, was the friendly atmosphere and the staff's genuine hospitality. Calder, one of the food managers, went out of his way to make us feel welcome. His knowledge of the products and his passion for what he does made our visit memorable.

The paninis were also a hit – simple yet delicious, with fresh ingredients that spoke for themselves.

Overall, DeLaurenti strikes the perfect balance between tradition and innovation. It's a place where you can enjoy quality food in a relaxed setting, surrounded by friendly faces.

To Pat McCarthy, Matt Snyder, Nate Plutko, and the rest of the team, thank you for a wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Seattle.

Pike Pace Market: launch a superb lunch. My lunch with free water came to $6 and that includes the tip. The pizza was crusty, hot delivered to our table and was food art in its execution. The flavor was delicious with just the right amount of crunch and cheese. Plus I added some free Parmesan from near the free water). We heard about this great quick lunch by asking a vender for a tip where their favorite place to eat was in the Market. If crowded downstairs there’s also
Limited seating upstairs.

A very original, unique and rich grocery shop with all the rare fundamental products like olives oils, salts, mustards, chocolates , cheeses. There is also a coffee shop located there too, so you enjoy your coffee while getting your head around your expensive fancy grocery bill.

If I had space in my suite case I’d have gone nuts. Price wise you’re getting what you pay for and if I’m honest it’s not as expensive as you’d think being down on Pike.

Such an excellent store. This is the kind of place I highlight when I say Pike Place is for tourists and locals alike. Such a wide breadth of cheeses, sauces, pastas, canned goods, frozen goods, cookies, and sweets it's almost overwhelming.

As far as specialty grocers go, this one is among the best. The second you walk in, the beautiful smell hits you. It's perfect. The meats, cheeses, chocolates all have excellent selections. The oils and sauces are equally of top notch quality. There is a sandwich and pizza counter near the street entrance where some of the most underrated pizza exists. I would eat anything sold in this store and come back for seconds and thirds.

Excellent selection. Even when busy, the staff is kind and attentive. Eli was incredibly helpful in making our dream charcuterie board come true!

DeLaurenti is a fantastic Italian market. It has many cheeses, salumi, condiments, pasta, sauces, wine and beer. The selection is great and you could certainly make some great Italian meals with products from this store. They also have yummy looking sandwiches and salads. Would definitely go if you want great antipasti, pantry items or ingredients for a terrific meal.

Always a great selection of fresh and packaged food. Love coming here when in Seattle!

I love this place, such a cool store for high quality food items. Great for snacks to take hiking or maybe just back to your hotel. The employees are always really friendly and helpful. Great pastries and I love the pizza! I like grabbing coffee here since some of the coffee shops around Pike Place can be ridiculously busy.

I love a good gourmet shop that has many options for everything that you need for cooking for picnics and such and this place did not fail I didn't get much but I did get the hazelnut chocolate chip cookies and they were so good took me a couple days to eat it cuz it was a nice big cookie but you can't go wrong with places like this

DeLaurenti has such a great selection of fine cheeses and spreads, as I went to them to get a birthday gift for my brother. Elyse is a Manager there, and she is wonderful! Friendly, knowledgeable, professional and helpful. I highly recommend Elyse and this company.

Great place to pick up cured meats along with a very impressive cheese selection. Came up from Portland for the day and returned here. Annabelle was very helpful and knowledgeable.

This is a very good restaurant to get a slice of pizza or a sandwich at the Pike Place, Market. The food is delicious and the prices are very affordable. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Extremely impressive Deli selection (expensive $$), and tons of imported Italian candies, pastas, and other common foods. Not only do they have a Deli to buy packaged meats and cheeses ; they also have a Deli that serves hot and cold sandwiches and pizza. We got one of the square cheese pizza slices. It was hot, crispy, and very good for a single pizza slice. Big portion. The sauce in particular was delicious. I wish there was more on there but that's a personal preference. The pepperoni and primo slices looked very tempting but I had to try the classic for the review. The next time I have my car in Seattle on a day trip I'll definitely be buying some speciality foods here!

Always the best selection. The cheese case is full and you’ll love strolling the aisles. It’s a go to for my Pike Place Living Airbnb guests!

We stopped in to browse and enjoyed the variety of items available. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the deli counter person was very knowledgeable about the various meats and cheeses. Would definitely come back to the place if we were looking for specialty meats and cheeses!

There's some reputed spots in the market that are overrated and there's some that really are that good. DeLaurenti is very fortunately one of the latter. Fantastic shop filled with culinary treasures, from wine to cheese to chocolate to olive oil, they have so many awesome items to buy. They also have some great sandwiches to takeout, along with pizza is you're looking for something quick to eat. Admittedly, the shop can be pricey, but quality isn't cheap and I'm much happier that they err on the side of pricey high quality selection than lowering the quality of their goods. My only complaint is that 5 pm is much too early to close for locals who want to pick something up after work, but Pike Place really isn't much of a night market so it's understandable. If you're out of town visiting, this is one shop that I wouldn't miss.

An amazing selection of specialty items to choose from, but most importantly— absolutely wonderful customer service… Matt took extra care of my order for Christmas and the high quality of DeLaurenti is seen all the way across the country in New Jersey. Happy to have found such a place!

As a hobby chef with a passion for Italian food getting quality Italian groceries has always been a challenge for me.
Fortunately, DeLaurenti had a lot of the things that I care about: Meats, cheese and quality pasta.
They offer a lot of different other imported drinks and foods (e.g. some selected foods and wines from Spain and Germany), too, so it's nice browsing and discovering.
They have very friendly and helpful staff, so I was able to find everything I needed quickly. This I needed to get Guanciale, the elusive meat that is so hard to find yet is preferred when you want to make an authentic Carbonara sauce.
So next time you are wondering how to take your Italian cooking to the next level you might include a shopping trip to DeLaurenti.
