Seriously the best food in Winnipeg during the pandemic. Fresh and no supply chain mess like restaurants. Great ingredients and awesome cheeses, fresh chicken sausage is amazing. Overall amazing beef lasagna and amazing Alfredo sauce. My personal favorite Napoleon cake slice. Upstairs the cashier you pay for the hot food is super rude and made sure she got NO TIP from me. Other staff upstairs deserved it the tip, sorry ladies.

I have been thinking about posting the last few days. I had a very long day Saturday and was not looking my best to say the least. (Bag lady chic) I went into De Lucas during a walk to pick up a bottle of wine for the night. They were advertising a wine that I love in the window, I looked for it but could not find it. It took forever to be acknowledged by an employee and when I was the employee told me that that wine was out and she would help me find something else. The employee then went on to help other customers and at one point when I was in her way I moved ,apologized and she did not say anything to me. I left feeling judged and that I did not fit into the aesthetic of the establishment. I always leave very good reviews if I leave reviews at all. However this really stuck with me. maybe because of my privilege I'm shocked that I was treated this way. It seems very old school turn your nose up to customers. I feel I was judged by my appearance.
They have a wide selection of specialty Italian items. We definitely love their deli. It’s our go-to place for all the extravagant cheeses. Our favourite is the St Augur and Roquefort. They’ve also been good with their service too. There are so many more products we have yet to explore. They stand behind the excellence of their product too.
love italian food and cook Italian? This is your place , be prepared to spend a little extra then you anticipated
De Luca’s is a fun place to shop. Their prices are higher for basic items you can easily get at larger grocery stores, but the pull of this place are their specialty items that they make on site. The fennel sausage is especially good and they have an array of fresh pasta which is perfect should you host an Italian dinner and you want to make something with free noodles. Their bakery is pretty good and they have a fine selection of speciality olive oils and vinegars (you can taste a number of them if you ask). Some of their imports are good too (e.g., canned cerignola olives) and are tough to find elsewhere. I’ve checked out some of their cooking classes in the past. It’s fun, but observational only while seated at group tables. Still, it can be a nice evening with friends with decent food. I’ve never tried the restaurant upstairs for lunch, but I hear it’s good.
