Best Italian food company in UK …

I started buying from them in November and I've already bought a lot of stuff. When the boxes arrive I open them and if there's any problem they solve it immediately. Very good and excellent quality food and lots different items, will continue to buy from them a soon I need again , company can you trust

I had very positive experience…

I had very positive experience with this vendor, great range, pricey, yes, but if you are not going to Italy sometime soon, or want to pay for luggage to lug things, then this is an excellent option. Very efficient, all goodies excellently packed, meats in separate thick foil like envelope with frozen ice, delivered by DPD. Will definitely use again.

Great Italian food company

Great Italian food company, great produce and delivery service.
My family love the fresh sausages you cannot beat the quality unless you make them yourself!
Even in Italy done parts do not make quality sausage like these.
Good produce all-round. Been buying from them for a long time.
Thanks Delli C. In London

A great customer experience, even when things go wrong

I have ordered from their website several times since discovering them this year. The boxes they ship are generally very well packed, and they pay great attention to fresh products by including insulated bags and gel ice packs to keep items fresh during transport.

In case of delivery issues, as happened to me with DPD, they respond quickly and step in to resolve any inconvenience, providing excellent customer service.

I will definitely continue to be their customer.
Thank you for the great service, guys!

Had an issue with my order which was promptly resolved and this is now on the way. Issue was with DPD but Delicatezza resolved everything at their expense which I thought was class service.

DPD is yet to communicate to me what happened to my parcel which is poor from their side.

Genuine italian delicacies

I regularly order baby food every month for my children and some delicacies from my hometown that I miss so much and that I can't find anywhere. We had a little mix-up at the beginning with Deliveries, but then the owner himself called me and explained what to do. From then on, I've never had any problems. Everything always arrives on time. If you want to eat Italian food, I recommend it.

Hi Linda,

Thank you so much for your lovely review - it truly means a lot to us.

We’re delighted to hear that your orders are now arriving smoothly and that you’ve been able to enjoy both the baby food and those special Italian favourites from home. That’s exactly why we do what we do.

We really appreciate your patience during the early delivery hiccup, and we’re glad everything has been running reliably ever since.

Thank you for choosing us month after month - and for recommending us.
We’re always here whenever you need a taste of Italy delivered to your door.

Grazie di cuore,

The Delicatezza Team

If I could I would give them 0 stars

If I could I would give them 0 stars, ordered end of November for 10th December delivery, they send it via DPD courier - parcel didnt arrive, when contacting them and asking for refund the man on the phone, was very defensive and told me to wait another day to receive it! imagine meat siting for 48hrs in the box allegedly with dry ice - it would be stinky! anyway after repeatedly asking for refund and him denying to do it, i said i would live them negative feedback - which he replied "I don care!" - yes you reading it right, they do not care. Blaming courier for non delivery, knowing they are cheapest around and very poor service isnt a top of the customer service experience you would expect from someone charging 5£ per 400g of sausage. NEVER AGAIN! STAY AWAY!

Hi Lukasz,

We’re sorry you felt you had a bad experience, but parts of your review are not accurate, so we’d like to clarify the facts.

Your order was dispatched on time from our warehouse on 09 December using DPD’s Next Day by 8pm service.

We completely understand the frustration caused by couriers not providing end customers timely updates, especially during the very busy period following Black Friday and in the run-up to Christmas. When you contacted us around midday on 10 December, the parcel was already loaded onto the DPD van and out for delivery, which we tried to explain to you. We appreciate the conversation became very tense, but at your request we recalled the parcel and processed a full refund immediately.

For reassurance, our chilled packaging is designed and tested to keep products fresh and safe for up to 48 hours, even in the event of a courier delay.

Our team is always here to help, and we will continue doing everything we can to provide reliable service.

Best Italian importer around

Broad selection at amazing prices, with speedy delivery and always well packed. I can’t fault them. They’ve won a loyal customer.

Authentic Italian Deli

Great food and great service. Have been ordering from them for several years now. Only one occasion when the delivery failed during a bank holiday week and Delicatezza made it right. Particular praise for their Salcicciamo sausage and meatball products.

Grazie Rob - what a fantastic review to read!

We truly appreciate your loyalty over the years. It means a great deal to know you’ve consistently enjoyed both our food and our service.

Thank you also for mentioning the one delivery hiccup — we’re glad we were able to make things right quickly. Bank holiday weeks can be unpredictable, but we’re always here to ensure you’re looked after.

And we couldn’t agree more about the Salsicciamo sausages and meatballs - they’re customer favourites for a reason!

Thanks again for your continued trust.

Unable to delivery despite two weeks notice

Ordered over two weeks ago to test before a roll out over all our locations, repeatedly chased them - repeatedly told it was out for delivery - then was emailed and told it wasn't but was out on Monday - Monday comes, I have to call and told 'they forgot to load' the truck - then finally told on the phone that It was our fault for not giving them more time - have NEVER dealt with a wholesaler that cannot fulfil an order with two and half weeks notice.

Hi Joshua,

We’re sorry your experience didn’t go as smoothly as expected. Since your last wholesale order in 2022, our delivery routes and schedules have changed. Unfortunately, the order was placed without prior contact, so by the time we spoke the weekly delivery window for your area had already passed. We understand the frustration, and we’re sorry for any miscommunication. Our wholesale service normally runs reliably when delivery arrangements are confirmed in advance.

Delicatezza itself is an excellent…

Delicatezza itself is an excellent service but i WISH they would stop using DHL. 3 times now they have delivered my parcel to a completely random address, miles from my house, hours after the allotted timeframe. They are an absolutely sh*t delivery company and i think my parcel would have more chance reaching me if it was delivered by a carrier pigeon. Unsure whether i will be ordering again after the latest fiasco (i had to drive to some random persons house to get my box, and this person refused to hand it over until i threatened to call the police - NIGHTMARE)

Hi Bethany,

Oh no — that really does sound like a nightmare, and we’re so sorry you had to go through that. We completely understand your frustration with the delivery experience. You’ll be pleased to know we’ve taken this feedback on board and have since switched to DPD as our delivery partner. Feedback so far has been excellent, and we hope this change gives you confidence to shop with us again.

Not great this time

It is not the first time I buy from delicatezza and the wrapping has always been good but this time has been bad.
I had to throw away packages of pasta and flours as the fresh food was not packed well and they arrived basically wet.
I wanted to rate this experience with a 2 stars but since the other times it was good I have given a 3- star rate to this experience.
I would suggest to make sure that the fresh food is well-wrapped

Hi Valeria,

We’re really sorry to hear this — that’s not the standard we aim for. Our warehouse team are usually very careful with packing, so we’re surprised to hear this and have already passed your feedback on to our warehouse manager. You’ll also be pleased to know we’ve since switched our delivery partner to DPD, and we’ve been receiving excellent feedback since the change. We hope your next order reflects the quality and care you’ve come to expect from us.
