DeLuca's Market — Restaurant in Boston

Incredibly overpriced, and a lot of the food is past sell-by date! If you shop here, you should look at your labels, especially for yogurt and cheese. Prices here can be well over 100% markup. Many items are often squished or misshapen as if they fell off the truck. There is also a problem with their refrigeration - Ice cream has melted and then refrozen for example. The workers are unfriendly and seem like they are being forced to work there, and do not wear any kind of uniform (so be careful complaining out loud, you never know who is listening). There is also dirty and rotting fruit (you can smell as soon as you walk in), so triple check before you purchase.

Lastly, it was closed by health department at least once in the past year, so what does that tell you? Please join a growing contingency and boycott this place. The only reason it is still in business (after the “fire” a few years ago) is because of unwary...

Is this place expensive? Yes. You are in Beacon Hill! It is to be expected. But, they have a great wine selection. Great location as well. If you’re out dining in Beacon Hill at one of the many restaurants and then realize you need a good bottle of wine or a little bit of produce or that last minute element for your meal at home the next day, this is a great quick stop.

When we lived in the Back Bay, we did not do all of our regular “grocery” shopping here, as it is too expensive to buy the staples here, so we would drive to some of the bigger grocers. But it is a wonderful stop for items you forgot or don’t happen to have in the pantry. Also, great stop for some of the things you can’t find in the larger stores. At one point no one had lingonberry jam, and Delucas did. Again, great wine selection as well!...

DONT SHOP HERE! The food is so overpriced and is probably the worst quality I’ve ever seen at a store. Almost everything was either expired or would expire within the next couple of days. GROSS. The produce here is also terrible. Moldy fruits and veggies? Really? Come on. I’ve also encountered some extremely rude ppl that work here. Honestly, boarder-line racist. I once heard an employee talk to another employee making fun of a hijab a woman was wearing. I was so disgusted after that I refuse to support this place. Every since ownership has changed to the daughters, things just have taken a turn...
