This is my favorite specialty store in the Market--and not just because I am Italian! Their selection is almost overwhelming. The have all sorts of Italian imports--olive oils, canned items, pastas, even cookies. They also have a refrigerated case full of take-home goodies like lasagna, ravioli, gelato and stocks. The cheese counter is a sight to behold and has more selections than anywhere else I've seen. The also have salami, bacon, sausages, olives and all the makings of a perfect antipasto platter. The fresh ricotta is heavenly. The sales staff is really friendly and knowledgeable and you will probably need them. Upstairs they keep all of their wine, and the selection is decent for a shop of their size. Again, the staff is fantastic and will steer you toward the right bottle. You really can't go wrong with anything from this store. Also, their website has tons of recipes that will help you infuse some creativity into your meals. Shops like this make cooking and entertaining fun!

I love the variety in here! The atmosphere is very inviting and I have been introduced to many new foods here. The service has always been helpful and loves to share their information. Prices are kind of high, though. I think that is to be expected in this area and with the specialty of the items involved. This place has alot of hard to find and unqiue items in it.

Don't worry about exchanging dollars for euros, learning Italian words for cheese, or getting lost in Venice. Just stay here in Seattle and visit DeLaurenti's. Sure, you won't be able to see fancy art or get mobbed by pigeons, but I see that as a plus. They have delicious sandwiches, cheeses, and all the little yummy items that you'd find in Italy...without the long flight. There are other European items as well. It's great for lunch or a laid back first date.

DeLaurenti has an admirable selection of cheese, meat, bread, and other European specialty foods. They also have a coffee and snack bar in the corner across from the newsstand. The employees are friendly too. Being in the Pike Place Market, it can be astonishingly busy at times and full of tourists, so be prepared, but there are plenty of other places around to while away some time while people clear out. :)

Ten years ago I spent a few weeks with a friend's family in Slovenia. Every day the town square was transformed into a farmer's market, and every day the residents of Ljubljana would come to pick up their fresh food for the day. The vendors seemed to know all the shoppers and what they liked. I found this to be indescribably charming and right. De Laurenti's is the closest I've ever felt to that kind of charm here in Seattle. Yes, there are farmer's markets around town and there's even the Pike's right next door, but there's something about the quality and spirit of De Laurenti's that feels special.

My Italian is a little rusty. But at least I know enough of it to get around DeLaurenti's. Wow, what an incredible wine selection and customer service help on deciding to pick out a good one to go with your meal. Unsurpassed cheese selection, fresh pastas, meats, etc. Has the traditional Italiano foods and spices, a real out and out Italian grocery. Horray!
