DeLaurenti Specialty Food & Wine Menu

DeLaurenti Specialty Food & Wine Restaurant Review:

Fancy tins sit in stacks in the window, foil wrappers glint in the sun: this Pike Place Market imported food store sings a siren call to lovers of great and hard-to-find ingredients ranging from olive oil, honey and pistachios to biscuits and wine, many of which find their way into prepared breakfast and lunch fare. An extensive cheese case staffed by knowledgeable cheesemongers features varieties from around the globe --- tastes are gladly given --- and the cured meats selections will make most cooks weep for joy. In the early hours, coffee pairs well with pastries from Macrina and Le Panier bakeries. At lunch, the café menu features salads, seasonal soups, pizzas and panini. Ready to grab-and-go sandwich favorites include fresh mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes on focaccia, dry salami and Asiago on ciabatta, and pepperoni, salami and provolone on a baguette. A small seating area offers a place to nosh, plus windows facing First Avenue ideal for people-watching.
