“ Love this local gem that feels like it got plucked out of Europe and dropped in Olympia! House made deli meats, other cured meats and steaks, and charcuterie items. Their sandwiches are SO good, if you're lucky the weather lets you enjoy them at the cute table outside. They have a great wine selection with a knowledgeable staff if you're not sure what to get. There are little European treats like tinned fish and other quality ingredients for sale too. The owner knows his stuff. ”
“ This place is an Olympia gem. Weekly, I share an Italian sandwich with my wife and it never disappoints. It’s hearty with a light dressing and delicious bread. The wine selection is amazing for a small shop. The kinds of bottles that I don’t see anywhere else. Lastly, the hamburger could be the best hamburger in the world. Premium beef. Expertly grilled onions. Perfect bun. Amazing. ”
“ This review is way over due. I met Brian and the Delmonico’s shop in November 2021 when I moved to Oly. Incredible selection with locally sourced ranch and farm fresh foods, breads, seasonal veggies, mushrooms, oils, sauces, the best pasta, sausages, garlic butter, bistro dinners, wine tastings, the wine selection is the best in town, and now the new lunches. Yum City! The tuna sandwich, burger, minestrone soup, BLT, are exceptional. I can’t wait to taste the entire lunch menu. When I moved I was sad to leave my local farmers and ranchers and Del’s turned my miss into joy. Everything that I have purchased from Del’s is always incredibly tasty and top notch. I get to shop here, the farmers market, co-op, and a local farm stand and never have to set foot in a corporate food store. Heaven on Earth. Grateful that I found my new go-to food source. I know that the food we put in our bodies is medicine and all this is assessable at Del’s. I had cancer last year and Brian set me up with incredible healing bone broth during chemo when I couldn’t eat, which helped me to get cancer free. The bistro dinner is cozy and fun and exceptionally yummy, I highly recommend. I can’t believe how good the turkey is too. I have never really enjoyed turkey before I shopped here. This is one of my favorite food sources around. I’m grateful that I moved to Oly and Delmonico’s landed in my life. We are so lucky to have this amazing small business in town. Enjoy ”
“ What an incredible place! Ryan was kind, knowledgeable, and helpful; we were able to get everything we needed to make an authentic and delicious Italian meal from what was offered at Delmonico's. Absolutely above and beyond in both service and products. We will be back! ”
“ Brian is the keystone of this whole venue, and he loves what he's doing. He's got a handpicked crew of folks who trust his vision and enable him to follow his ambition. The reason other reviews say things like "it's European", "feels like family", or "best burger in the state" is because if you walk in here more than twice, Brian will know who you are. He loves his customers as much as they need him. He'll listen to whatever you say - meet you where you are, and point you the way to where you didn't know you could go. I want to make some tacos, can I get a flank steak? Don't have flank, but this is an Argentinian cut that'll be even better. Pork chops? I've got some shoulder chops. Chuck? How much? If you're stuck in a rut a small butcher may not be the place for you, but if you want to explore new things then there's a guide here for you. Always looking for the best ingredients and exhibiting products from local artisans and farmers. If you want to support a community that will love you back - this is the place to start in Western Washington. ”
“ So trying to find a whole lamb butchered, I stumbled across this AMAZING little shop. Brian (I hope I'm spelling it correctly) was very kind and informative over the phone. I went in today to pick it up all ready and butchered to my order. Upon arrival I discovered one of the best little shops yet. Their deli meats are exquisite. They have so much to offer in such a little space. Their meats are locally sourced and grass fed grass finished. If you are looking for quality and class this is definitely a go to. Check out their website. They have so much to offer. They even have the 5 course type dining experience I am looking for. Can't wait to book that too. Upon getting home I wanted unadulterated lamb. I salted and peppered. Heated up some Greek olive oil (bought here) and a little of their dill butter (bought here) sauteed until 125 then put on a plate and set aside. Threw in some trumpet mushrooms (bought here) to the hot oil and droppings then plated it over some rice. This was exquisite. Side note. I've had store bought lamb and that is nasty. It's always sour and tastes off. This lamb tastes like rich beef. The customer service is outstanding ”
“ Best burger by mile, in Olympia without a doubt, potentially in the whole state. Also happens to be my favorite craft butcher in the area. We raise our own animals, so it takes a lot of convincing for me to buy other peoples meat, this spot is it. Strongly recommend stopping in and trying some of their house pickled veggies and mushrooms, their lunch meat, and always the steaks. Make sure to ask the boss if he has anything unusual aging or curing, he always has a good surprise or two hiding in the back cooler. ”
“ Brian was so incredible, he recommended a perfect meal, the perfect wine, and was so sincere. We had a Greek salad, a burger, and a couple of drinks. The food touched our souls! New favorite burger in town! This place feels like such a hidden gem and I’m so glad we found them! We’ll definitely be back ”
