delucas market is a cute grocery & deli on newbury street, filled with unique items and great sandwiches. they always have a huge line for their sandwiches, and they have a huge menu of options, or you can get it customized. although the line is long, it only took less than 10 minutes to get through even though it wrapped around the store. i went for a honey turkey on sourdough since they were out of rye, and it was delicious. turkey on sourdough sandwich 9/10 i'm inclined to try more of their specialty grocery items. they do a great job of organizing a small market. ambiance 4.8/5 food: 4.5/5 service: 4.5/5 delucas market: 4.6/5 read more

Love this market!! I had the build your own turkey sub, which was delicious. Every ingredient on the sandwich, that was constructed perfectly was so good. The entire staff was friendly both times I visited. The market is cute, and has a downstairs which you can enter going down the stairs from outside or from stairs inside if outside entry is closed.... downstairs is where the alcohol is located! Lots of wines, champagne, beer selection. The market itself has a bit of everything! so many options read more

This market is on the corner on Newbury street. I pass it alot but barely go in there. I went in here yesterday and had no idea they have a downstairs with wine and beer. They had both beers I was in the search for and the workers were nice. I never got one of their sandwiches from here before. This market seems to have alot of different types of items. If you need just a few things and don't want to go to a big grocery store this is your place. I also saw how they have a big selection of different types of chocolates in the front. read more

One of the yummiest sandwiches I've ever had!!! Got a turkey with pepper jack, tomato, lettuce, roasted red peppers, pickled onions, pickles,Dijon and mayo. Service was great and the market was so cute read more

I WISH I had taken a picture of the food, but it was so good I didn't even think about it. The sandwiches here were incredible. I was a little confused upon entry of how to get my order taken, which way to enter, because the aisles are so full (and I was too scared to ask). But everyone was so nice! The chicken Caesar wrap and Italian were both fantastic. There are so many items to look at and I would've loved to pick some more up in a cooler time of year. read more

Trained into Boston for a flight back home and this was near the park we walked in. Could not have asked for a better hungover sandwich. The Italian was phenomenal. Cool vibes inside, and solid service. Will come back if I'm ever back in Boston read more

Delucas Mkt - Italian sub in the park - Grocery Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

It's come to my attention that it isn't entirely out of character for me to eat a cold, vinegary Italian grinder first thing in the late morning. While Boston in the early springtime may be less forgiving for deli meats and pickles than sunny SoCal, DeLuca's Market came recommended by two (formerly) Boston-based colleagues, and with just enough time for one quick bite before heading to the airport, it was officialized amongst the core priority of our less than 48 hours in Boston. Aside from its well-schooled deli counter (everything, including the bread, was fresh) Deluca's is a mf vibe for those lucky enough to live around here; boasting produce, fresh flowers, boutique wine labels, and a curated shelves full of the pantry standards and specialty groceries. Short on time and our luggage at capacity, there was too much to take in/take home for this brief pit stop (they literally have their own branded label of root beer and orange soda). But seeing people naturally passing through here on their Sunday morning rounds affirmed to me the vicarious joy of idling/absorbing in the temporary bliss of existence. Good sandwiches slow down time, but great sandwiches contain and preserve it. read more

First, the employee who made my sandwich today did not wear gloves. Now, the sadder part. Over the last decade and a half, I have picked up sandwiches from Deluca's Market (either in Back Bay or Beacon Hill) at least 100 times, probably closer to 150. It has been one of my go-tos to grab a quick, reasonably priced sandwich to eat on a bench on Commonwealth, the esplanade, or Boston Common. They also have a few tables outside their store on Newbury. This year, they've raised their prices from $10 to $15 for a sandwich ($16 with tax). Now, these sandwiches aren't bad. But, they are basic sandwiches. We're talking grocery store cold cuts on grocery store bread. The type of sandwich that you could easily make at home in 3 minutes if you wake up in the middle of the night and want a snack. The french long roll that they use comes from Piantedosi bakery, which is a classic Boston-area staple. It's pretty good. The sub itself has a moderate amount of filling and measures 8 inches long. Being in measurement mode, I also weighed the half that I brought home. It weighed ~8 ounces, so a full sandwich is probably about a pound. It's pretty filling and, if you're not that hungry, it's easy to split for a light picnic with a bag of chips or side of your choice. Still, it's not a $15 sandwich. At that price point, you're approaching some really excellent sandwiches to be found around the city. It's the type of thing that you make at home with cold cuts that you pick up from an average grocery store. This brings me to my next point. There is a large grocery store about a quarter of a mile away (behind Dick's off of Boylston) that makes 12 inch subs on Piantedosi rolls, using Boar's Head cold cuts, including roast beef, for $10. Beyond that, there are so many other places in the area with options in the $15 range that make better and/or more interesting food. There's an outside chance that I will come back at some point out of nostalgia, but probably not. Sad to see this change in a place that I've been fond of visiting for quite some time. read more

Cute little grocery store in the middle of Newbury St. While doing some shopping in Boston we needed a quick pick me up and didn't want to go to far. Deluca's allowed us to get water and a snack amongst all the really pricey eateries that are on the block. There was a nice assortment of your everyday needs and then specialty wine and cheese. The staff was so so, attentive but not overly friendly which I didn't mind. There's flowers and pumpkins lined up outside so it reminded me of many neighborhood grocery stores that I'm used to seeing in NYC. Stop by if you're in the area, I think they do sandwiches too! read more

I've got zero problems with Deluca's, but you need to set your expectations right. It's a bodega on Newbury, so you're not exactly getting bargain, everyday provisions. It's a convenient stop when you need a few ingredients, or if you're looking for a nice sandwich. They've also got an entire liquor department downstairs, which I discovered when shopping for a bag of ice (hot tip: they sell that too, you must go downstairs). I've been in a few times, and have also eaten from the deli counter in back. I ordered a roast beef sandwich and had the pleasure of having a nice, generously portioned (and priced accordingly) sandwich on their mini front patio area. You could grab a local apple or a drink and round out the experience. There's nothing to grab you by the collar and say whoa, you need to try this place out. But that's kind of the point--it's a small bodgea with simple offerings that serves the neighborhood. read more

My friend and I stopped in Deluca's to get some newbury shopping fuel and the sandwiches here did just the trick! The market is quaint and cute to shop around. The sandwiches are hefty and reasonably priced ($9-12), which is great casual alternative to some of the more expensive sit down restaurants on newbury. I really enjoyed the Italian - it was flavorful, moist, and filling! It was the perfect spot to grab a delicious bite, rest our feet for a bit, and people watch on the outdoor patio seating before resuming our day! read more

We stopped in here by chance and were pleasantly surprised! The interior is magical, and as someone who has been to Italy it's almost like you're there. So many interesting goodies in the store section, very European. The sandwiches were fresh and probably some of the best deli sandwiches I've ever had. The outdoor seating was cute and scenic, and the service was friendly. I don't know if I'll be back but I'd like to try some of the snacks and things like that. read more

The sandwiches are pretty good but management needs to fix the pricing system. I ordered the same sandwich two days in a row and had different prices both times and on top of that neither price matched what was advertised. Very annoying to order a $13 roasted chicken sandwich then to be charged $16 one day and $14 the next for the same sandwich with microwaved chicken read more

I don't know why this place has been rated poorly in the past, I went to grab a bite on Newbury Street and saw that Deluca's was one (if not the only) deli around there. Ordered the Deluca's Famous which consisted of Roast Beef and Provolone Cheese, my girlfriend got an Italian. You get to choose what bread you want it on, the spread, and then any vegetables you'd like. The service was fast and easy to work with. The actual sandwich was good for the price you're paying (under $10) and the location. I would say it's a pretty darn good option for a quick bite. Overall a very good experience and will definitely consider Deluca's in the future when I'm in that area. read more

Spent ~$18 for a water, mini bag of chips, and the smallest buffalo chicken wrap i've ever seen (photo included next to water for reference, both halves were this size). Chicken was dry, and i'm pretty sure it was literally just chicken, lettuce, and red hot. Disappointing lunch stop. read more

They have signs outside offering breakfast sandwiches except these sandwiches are disgustingly microwaved for 3 minutes then handed to you on an awful bagel. Is it really that hard to turn on a griddle and cook a real egg? Won't understand why a place that probably pays thousands of dollars to lease on newbury street, has a horrible deli and is still open. Would give zero stars if possible. read more

Sandwich was good. Some interesting finds. Staff was rude, both times I was there. Mid ambiance.

lived in Boston for over a year but visited every year. after moving to backbay, delucas has become one of my favorite spots for sandwiches/pastas. I'm not sure why they have 3 stars for $$$ as I found it completely reasonable for their sandwiches/freshnesses. (what like maybe 10$, but toppings are included with your fresh meat, lol). you can choose what kind of bread(think there's 4 or 5 options?), I unfortunately only been 5-6 times, all at the end of the day so I understand they might be out of a specific loaf of bread, but I think that's a testament to its quality and freshness. sandwich's are full of meet and add toppings. Also, you can eat outside of the market too, nice ambiance to it. also, the people are friendly, just ask what you're looking for. Again, I only really have been for sandwiches and pasta salads 4/5, would be 5/5 but I'm just sad I haven't been earlier time and missed on certain items that they ran out on read more

So far I've had the Italian & the Deluca's Famous roast beef. The sandwiches are so good and one of the cheapest lunch options on newbury street. I'll probably eat every sandwich on the menu, so I'll update my rankings list later! For now - the roast beef with horseradish Mayo is my favorite! read more

Beware! They have drastically increased their sandwich prices due to the tariffs because they import their meat. I order sandwiches from here a lot but I was shocked to see the $14 price for a turkey sub which only a few months ago was $9.50! I get that they are forced to do this out of necessity, but from now on I'll be getting my hoagies elsewhere. read more

Great sandwiches at decent prices. The rest of the store has many imported goods, expensive luxury items, and the biggest selection of chocolate I've ever seen. Just a great place to look around and explore, it's jam packed inside! Even when the line is out the door it only takes 15 minutes to get a sandwich during lunch rush. Check out is smooth too. read more

Made to order subs and wraps are super good and staff is very friendly. Gluten free bread and wraps available and the gluten free chicken ceasar wrap was amazing! read more

I would say the four dollar signs can only be attributed to the imported goods/groceries. The sandwiches are all $11, which is super reasonable considering you can't even get McDonalds for under $11 these days. My sandwich was EXACTLY the deli sandwich I was craving. Also the staff are super friendly! Very welcoming. read more

This market reminds me of some of the "superettes" you find in NYC...small spaces with narrow aisles and jam packed with groceries and deli items. I tend to come here when I have an appointment at my hair salon which is right across the street. I pop in for a bottle of sparkling water and maybe a little nosh like fruit or cheese. (My hair appointments can be long so I go prepared). I suppose if I lived in the neighborhood I would be glad to have this market so conveniently located right in the midst of Newbury Street. I could see this being a handy last minute option if a grocery item was needed in a hurry. But the prices are high so this is more of a pit stop and not a grocery shopping destination. They do sell wine here which you'll find by going downstairs and that is a convenience. They have a deli counter too with a menu listing many kinds of sandwiches, assorted cold cuts and salads. There is space outside with tables and chairs which might be pleasant if the tables weren't practically falling apart. I did have a momentary sit-down out there recently and the only charming thing about it was the incredibly tame and friendly sparrow who wanted me to share my cheese; a request I happily obliged. I don't find the staff to be at all friendly. Attempts at small talk at the register are typically ignored. The store itself a bit messy and overall the feel is that it may have seen better days. This place is fine in a pinch and nothing more. read more

A neighborhood gem of a market that has been around for over 100 years that is still family operated going 'Boston' strong. DeLuca's looks a like an Italian market & Bodega mixed into one offering fresh fruit, produce, meat, gourmet bread, cheeses. It could also be dubbed as a spirits store with the enormous selection of beer, wine & liquor cellar. Sharing a little history: During the Prohibition era Deluca's was the Beacon Hill's area go to store that had a frequent customer by the name of President John F. Kennedy. The cashier informed me that Deluca's offers online ordering for convenience. After selecting your fresh fruit & veggies from the sidewalk displays, you can go inside & find just about anything from a bag of chips to a can of Caviar to fresh bulk items. & with all the inventory the market is still easy to get around in. For my two oranges, two apples & a bottle of wine was less than $20. read more

** My witch store. ** I think most things are $$$, but really good quality. I like to buy my infused honeys, local jam, Kambucha, maple syrup, cold brew, and homeopathic teas and mints here. Sometimes when guests are coming it's nice to get some sugar cubes, or spiced honey, for morning tea or coffee (if you're more of a cocktail/wine person there's a cellar downstairs and lots of fun cocktail ingredients upstairs). Staff is usually stand off ish, but 4 stars for openness after 8pm on a Friday and quality local ingredients. read more

Deluca's is ... just ok. I came here quite a bit because it was the only "grocery store" across the street from me when I was too lazy to walk to the Prudential. The inside has a quaintly crammed vibe, and they sell a lot of imported foods, crackers, chocolates, cheeses and meats. I think this place caters to the glamorous life I imagined for myself when I moved into Back Bay, filled with charcuterie parties and wine tastings with my friends, and not the cup ramen life I actually live. That being said, there are some cool gems here and they especially have an interesting selection of candies and chocolates to try out. They also have some very necessary staples (sugar, cream, milk, cheese) if you are ever in a situation where you are in a pinch. Large wine cellar in the back as well as a pretty good sandwich bar with reasonably priced sandwiches (~$8). However, other than the sandwich deli, most of the grocery items are extremely overpriced, especially since Star Market and Trader Joe's are both literally a block away. read more

I was in the newbury st. area looking for a cheap, quick bite. The areas is littered with plenty of expensive dine-in options, so I didn't have any option that fit the criteria. Luckily, a friend referred me to Deluca's for their sandwiches. I was please with the quality of the sandwich and I look forward to going back and trying more sandwiches. read more

This is my favorite market in Boston. Yes, it's a little pricey, but we're talking a local market on Newbury that has great sandwiches and a fantastic beer collection. Also the staff there is great and always very helpful. Prices really aren't that had considering the surrounding locations. Sandwiches are around $8 and they're hand made and customizable. Across the street sandwhiches average for $15 from whichit and that place has dropped in quality. read more

There are so many authentic products here for anyone wanting to cook for an international cuisine. Today, I found bulgur for $4.69 ($5.99 at Star Market, non-existant everywhere else) and dried mint leaves (Whole Foods people made me feel crazy for asking for an herb they did not carry). I used to also buy dried fruit here but I decided I don't need that indulgence anymore. They have the best variety and prices for these delicacies as well. My usual trip to Newbury is to stop at Wired Puppy and get a Puppy Love and then come in here to get a pound of the ready to eat goodness in the deli counter. I've been doing this for a while now and it is still so special to me. I adore the idea of shopping in Boston's oldest grocery store for delicacies and running over to Trader Joe's for everything else. read more

It's certainly a bit overpriced for a glorified gourmet bodega, but Deluca's did carry the olives we were looking for, as well as a sizable selection of other edibles. The store is a bit cramped, and much more so because we had to navigate around a chocolate tour of some kind (they've got tons of Taza). However, I'm particularly grateful because we desperately needed those olives. After all, it's uncouth to get inappropriately drunk in front your family. Unless you do it on martinis. Then it's classy. read more

Since we were staying at Newbury Guest House & this place was on the way I stopped in. It's a small shop crammed with stuff and narrow aisles. I got a bottle of Pellegrino Sparkling Water for $2.5 - price was not marked, had to ask the cashier & he scanned it. Also got a plastic bottle of McLure's blueberry honey 12 oz for $4.69 - easy to carry in my checked luggage. Alcoholic drinks downstairs to buy - didn't go down there though. Credit cards taken. read more

I was torn on this place. I was looking for a spot after shopping on Newbury St. where I could buy wine for dinner. This seemed to be one of the only spots. It's sort of dingy and packed to the gills with food! It took me a minute to figure out the wine cellar was in the basement, but once I got down there, I thought it was pretty cute...until I found that relatively popular wine varietals weren't in stock...I was just looking for a pinot grigio since that's what my sister requested...but there were hardly any! There were plenty unique wines and wines from many regions, but for some reason, Italian whites weren't quite as well represented. Prices were ok, but the selection seems somewhat haphazard. read more
