Looking for groceries downtown? Since 1946, DeLaurenti Food & Wine has been Seattle’s most complete source for specialty ingredients and novelties from around the world. DeLaurenti was one of the first places in the city to offer cheese cut to order, pizza by the slice, and espresso—sealing its legacy as an essential stop for locals. The shop carries cheeses, cured meats, wine, beer, and other food staples. The café serves up sandwiches, cookies, and espresso. Stop by early on Friday or Saturday for fresh handmade mozzarella. Located on the corner of First and Pike, it’s an easy walk from the convention center and our hotels.
