I think the quality of their products are very good. This is my 1st choice when I want to make some great pizzas. Their dough, cheeses, meats and sauces are all top notch. Service is both good and bad from my experiences. The knowledgable staff are great for finding new items, but there is one woman who is a masterful up-seller. She often gives me way more weight of what I've asked for, then sneers at me when I ask her to cut it down to something closer to what I asked for. All in all, the good outweighs the bad and I continue to be a customer there. Their prepared foods are also quite good. read more

Huge fan of this place. Each staff member is knowledgeable and the owners are kind, generous and truly care about their business and forming relationships with regulars. The cold cuts are super tasty and there are great varied options. I especially love their olive bar and cheese options - can't leave without the roasted artichokes and Bellavitano espresso cheese. Cute espresso bar and awesome dry goods section too! Have to mention as well - the fresh pizza dough is delicious and super well priced ! read more

Puccini's Deli - Pizza dough! - Specialty Food Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

Great selection, very friendly attentive staff Small but quaint, gives you a homey feeling Great selection of meats cheeses and olives read more

The brother and sister team who run Puccini are authentic Italians and they definitely know their food. While some of their items may be a bit pricey (what isn't these days), the quality is exceptional. Great paninis. Excellent cheese and meat selection as well as dry items like pasta, cookies etc. they also have great frozen food like homemade lasagna. I come here every time I am visiting Vancouver and load up on yummy foods for my elderly mother. read more

Wow wow wow!! This place is 1 20/10 a foodie's heaven. Lovely gentleman rang me in and was so polite and nice. Got pepperoni sticks, two sandwiches, and two drinks for $30! I want to try every panini, every tapenade, every cheese and every meat from here. I found a new place where I'll be spending all my time and money and I can't wait to be back P.S. bring cash for a tip, there's no option on the machine but they deserve it! read more

Puccini's Deli - Leaning tower of Pisa - Specialty Food Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

Oops, turns out the reviews about the attitude were correct. I saw them but thought it can't be that bad. I was wrong. The woman with curly purple hair first appeared when a younger polite woman was ringing me up and right in front of me told her to watch what she is doing. This was already unpleasant as a customer to witness. Then she was ringing me up and became all attitudey when I said that I also asked for hummus which is literally behind the deli counter so you can't add it yourself. Apparently, I made a huge sin for giving them business and spending $45 for couple sandwiches and lemonades here. I can't say anything about the food I got but honestly I was just ready to walk away without the food. Give your money to a business that is grateful to have customers. read more

Incredibly tasty subs, Can't go wrong with any of them! Service is hit or miss but as long as your Togo you have nothing to worry about !! Real Authentic Italian!! read more

While the products are great (yes a little pricey but the quality doesn't lack), the woman who works there never ceases to leave me feeling annoyed and in a bad mood when I leave. She is incredibly passive aggressive and rude every time I set foot in there. I like to support small businesses and enjoy their products but never again will I set foot in there. I feel like I inconvenience HER and intrude on her life by being a customer. read more

Best Italian Deli in the greater Vancouver area and amazing olives and coffee. Rathing four starts as theybdo. Ot seem to carry high-end Italian whole wheat pastas that would make them complete from my perspective. It's still a great place!!! Great service and nice environment, too. read more

Like heaven! Owner Lino is the best! Always smiling and so inviting. Treats you like family.

It takes a lot for me to post a bad review, but this place deserves it - especially the manager. I was recently in to order a charcuterie and was abruptly advised by the manager lady that they were booked out. Worse yet, she was rude and obnoxious and didn't want to help any further. I do not appreciate being treated so rudely so I searched out an alternative, and it was Sebastian's in West Vancouver. They were great and service oriented, and polite. So long Puccini's ! read more

I am writing this in the hope that the owners see it and realize they need to fix things. We have been going here for years and really liked the place and the owners were great, it was like going to an old style store with knowledgeable, helpful owners. Now they have hired a bunch of employees who are boarder line surly, not helpful and we seldom see the owners. Also a few times the olives and peppers weren't very fresh. Sorry but it's true and with prices this high they have to treat their customers better or they will go elsewhere. read more

I recently went to this deli to pick up some stuff for Christmas. The store itself is beautiful but the service was awful! I was being helped by a woman who I think is the manager. She made me wait for 20 minutes to get one thing and left to do other things. I was confused if I was being helped or not. Also she was very rude to her staff. I over heard her yell to one of her staff "I'm twice your age and I can move faster than you" even though they were working good. I would recommend going to this deli for the products but beware of the manager. read more

Very nice folks; but $2.5 for a bread bun, compared to .65 at save on is a bit much.

High quality Italian goods. Amazing dried pasta selection. They have everything for a beautiful Italian meal or entertaining. Great place for host gifts. Deli counter with fantastic salamis and cheese. But the best part is the incredible customer service. The owner Lino actually knows his customers by name. He and his staff go above and beyond to be helpful. Highly recommend shopping here. read more

A world class Italian deli! Fabulous sandwiches, carefully made with the best meats on fresh bread. Served on beautiful wooden trays. A truly massive selection of both fresh deli items and elegant packages goods, for gourmets and gifts. Some places are clearly the work of passionate people wanted to create the best. This is one of those places! read more

This is a beautiful new deli conveniently located on Lonsdale in N. Van. It doesn't look like much on the outside but -- ZAM ! -does it ever shine on the inside! Italian Pannini's are made hot and fresh to order, a huge variety of meats, cheeses, olives, everything Italian. Olive Oils, pastas, breads and beverages, and espresso too :-) The customer service is strong and samples are offered. This is the place if you love "dis kina food" (spoken in my best faux Italian accent). read more

Puccini's Deli - Photo by George at kimiknation.com - Specialty Food Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

I entered the store for the very first time last night. I wish I had more time to in the store but was limited to just a few minutes with kids and husband in the car. Each and everyone of their employee I encountered last night were KIND, FRIENDLY, and professional. The employee, who helped me with a variety of prosciutto, was also incredibly kind, helpful and just friendly. There was a well dressed man who asked to take my items to the front. I fell in love with their customer's service. Wow! Then there's the quality of their cheese/deli meats---DELICIOUS. I came to get crackers and jam. We will be frequent visitors to this store not just for what they carry but the friendliness of everyone in there. The crackers and jam (so far) are my absolute favourite---along with the people inside read more

the food may be good but expensive but forget the service! i have never posted a bad review for any store but i was treated so badly this morning by a condescending, rude, supercilious staff member or owner that i will never go back to this store which i used to frequent regularly. too bad for puccinis that they've lost my business and i hope may not get your's! read more

This place is heaven for foodies and those who love to cook! Great selection of pastas, various oils, vinegars, sauces, and jarred antipastos. Then at the counter you've got several unique cheese and charcuteries! If you love olives, there is a large variety. I love stuff olives and took some manchego ones they stuffed themselves. I know you had can coffee and sandwiches here which I haven't tried. The service is great. Really friendly and they know what they're talking about. Just tell them what you like and you'll be impressed with what they suggest. Price point isn't cheap but you know you're getting the good stuff. They threw in a free load of bread from Terra with my sizeable purchase. read more

Walking in here is like walking into a high end meat shop with so many condiments and other knick knacks to look at. As a foodie it was like a museum. Good way to pass the time as there was a wait. I got a few slices of ham to go. Great customer service, super friendly. Reasonable prices. read more

This is the best deli! Delicious sandwiches and coffee. The staff are incredibly helpful! They've helped me create unreal charcuterie platters for dinner parties. (Always such a hit). Great stock of local and artisanal items. All of their food is mouth watering. Great little hostess / host gifts too. Can't say enough good things about Puccini's! read more

The selection in this deli is spectacular - beautiful olive oils I've not found anywhere else, lots of imported spices and treats from the UK and Europe, and a ton of locally-made goodies like antipasto and jams from the Okanagan, and cheeses and meats at the deli counter. They also have an espresso machine and gelato bar, with excellent paninis. This area has a high store turnover rate, so I really hope they do well here - it would be a shame to lose them. If you're in the neighbourhood and want good deli stuff, don't go to Loblaw's unless you have to - give these guys a once-over. read more

One of, if not my favourite place to go for lunch. They have a great deli selection with a lot of delicious looking things, but personally the paninis are the best thing they serve. The staff are also super friendly, I have never had a bad experience here. read more

This deli is our newest best kept secret!! They have the most impressive selection of Olive Oils and Truffles - so good! Helpful and friendly staff - an authentic deli experience for the north shore. read more

Finally. No need to drive all the way to Hastings or Commercial anymore... Great variety of deli items (try the pesto hummus, it made me weep with gratitude) and excellent personal service. Instant comfort - locals were visiting and chatting with the owner, throwing recommendations back and forth. This place has soul. Got everything needed for a huge antipasto platter and then some. The owner introduced himself, shook my hand and tossed in a complimentary baguette. Nice. Love it when business owners understand that those little things go a long way. Will definitely be back. read more

By far the best Italian Deli on the North Shore everything is displayed prim and proper with a great selection of olive oils, specialty meats and cheeses. The staff is knowledgable and there is nobody better than Maria at putting together an Antipasto platter to impress! Bravo! read more

This is my go to deli on the North Shore. They have a very knowledgable staff (I think most of them are owners?) that provide recommendations to an uncultured schlub like me. Overall a great selection of Deli meats, cheeses, olives, and everything else Italian. I work a few blocks down Lonsdale from here and get their grilled paninis with a San Peligrino when I can - they're superb. read more

I went in there one time and one time only. The food is good but the customer service is atrocious. If the tough guy wannabe behind the counter would keep his yap shut, I may have went back. No one likes to be pestered in a store like you are dealing with a used car salesman, it's extremely annoying. Many of my friends have commented on the sales pitch that just never seems to end. read more

Puccini's Deli has a great selection of cheese, salami's, olives, dried pasta, frozen pastas and sausages as well as bar supplies and other imported goods. The staff is helpful and friendly. It can defintiely be a little expensive and they sometimes close before their posted hours on their website. read more

Love this place! Lino and Maria and their staff are fantastic! They carry great product and they make in house sandwiches that are very good. Can't recommend enough. read more

I love Puccini's deli. Great food, and old school customer service. Their passion for their food is refreshing. The owners know their stuff and they have customer service down to an art. Everytime I go in, he says "have you tried our new ___". Always delicious, always high quality. They make a mean pizza dough and their selection of olive oil, vinegars, and charcuterie are better than any I've seen on the North Shore. read more

I am a foodie and love to shop at European style delis...I am a Bosa fan but hate the bridge. I needed oils and pastas and olives so decided to give Puccinis another try, hoping things had improved. They have opened up the space next door and definitely offer a much wider selection of of pastas, condiments and olive oils but really pricey..I bought a bottle of olive oil for 40$ which I am okay doing as long at it is what they say it is, only to see the same bottle at a Persian market for 15$ less..Wow! .... I was with a friend and ordered a veggie pannini. Bland and the bread was so hard we couldn't eat it...we just ate the filling which was tasteless. Will visit again and see if things have improved...at the moment giving this a two star....I laugh when people say "it's the best Italian deli on the North Shore'..It is the only Italian deli on the North Shore :) read more

Delicious foods, great customer service. It helps that I now live so close! They are always super friendly and helpful. The cheese selection is amazing even when you have a cheddar allergy. My husband absolutely loves the bison jerky and a couple other deli meats. I love feeling like I'm stepping into a little piece of Italy every single time I go there. read more

Almost walked right by but had the common sense to check yelp reviews first. They did not lie; I had one of the best paninis I've ever had, accompanied by some spectacular service and a perfect coffee. Knowledgable, friendly and talkative staff. Can't wait until I'm back on upper Lonsdale! read more

I wish I could shop here and eat their sandwiches all the time! We dropped by here one morning on vacation in August to grab some sandwiches to-go for our bike ride we were doing that day. The shop has all kinds of mouthwatering delights and the sandwiches were fantastic! A neighborhood gem. read more

Puccini's has a great selection of speciality products. A wonderful selection of oils, cheeses and meats. Not to mention the selection of olives is impressive. One of my favourite products is the hummus. Puccini's has made me several charcuterie platters for events and they are stunning and always a crowd please. The owners and employees are the most helpful and go out of there way to ensure you are having a great shopping experience. They also help you pair food items which is very helpful and much appreciated. I am looking forward to the gelato which will soon be offered. Overall the best Italian Deli I have ever been to!!! read more

Puccini's provided the food for our son's wedding on very short notice. Meat and cheese boards, hummus, crackers, bread, veggie and fruit trays, lasagna, pesto penne...it was all so delicious and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. Lino, Mary and Maria are so nice and really helped to make our son's wedding day special. Their suggestions and end result were perfect ! We will continue to shop there and spread the word :) read more

What Lino did for my brother and my family during his last few days was nothing short of heroic. This was not customer service, this was not about business or money, this was pure human compassion at its finest. Thank you sir from Hamilton, On. I hope to meet you someday and thank you in person. read more

Good deli with nice products. A little on the$$$ side but I can live with that when I don't want to drive over the bridge to the the other fine Italian delicatessen's. What I really don't appreciate is the hard sales job I get every time I walk in. Most often I know what I am after and if I need help I can ask for it. This really puts me off shopping there which is a shame. I don't find the staff very knowledgeable when they offer advice. Sometimes I think they are making stuff up. As a cook I feel I have a fairly broad base of knowledge and I can tell when I am getting a sales pitch. If they toned the sales pressure down it would be a great place to shop on this side of the bridge. read more
