Almost 40 years ago, two young New Yorkers, Joel Dean and Giorgio DeLuca, opened their gourmet food emporium in SoHo, an up-and-coming artists’ neighborhood in Manhattan. Offering customers a sumptuous celebration of food a place to experience all the pleasures of cooking and eating, the original store suggested a turn-of-the-century food department, with high ceiling fans spinning over a vast array of handcrafted products and artisan foods lining high, white walls.
Today, Dean & Deluca is an international purveyor of gourmet and quality specialty foods operating in the United States, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Turkey and the Middle East.
Strolling Dean & Deluca is a food adventure, with discoveries at every turn. Friendly staff members offer tastes of cheeses, charcuterie, olive oils, exotic fruits, breads and pastries, chocolates and Arabic sweets. Meat counters display the finest products, locally and internationally procured.
At Dean & Deluca, we are dedicated to present you with the world’s finest epicurean culinary experience to be enjoyed at the Café or ready to take home.
Looking for that perfect gift? A concierge service is happy to consult on the selection of delicious delicacies for a gift basket that will be treasured and eaten with delight.
