Health Risk

Today the FDA issued a warning to consumers to NOT eat bagged spinach as there have been 50 illnesses including multiple deaths due to ecoli contamination. The owner of Deluca's was interviewed on WHDH-TV Channel 7 saying he would not pull the bags since people "may want to purchase them"!! Apalling greed. Obviously profits are more important than our safety to this owner. I'd avoid this place at all costs.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Safety Risk

Convenient, some interresting products but be careful with cheeses

by oceb at Citysearch

I am French, living in Beacon Hill and very picky about food. It is a well located store with a piano inside that they sometime use. The staff is very nice and they have some good products that we can find only there.

Deluca was one of the grocery I was used to go every day, but I was so often surprised by the very poor quality of their cheeses that I am going there only to buy what I forgot to buy elsewhere. A large number of cheese are already expired by a significant amount of time. And the oldest are often offered for a free try!

So it is an ok grocery, if you don't want cheese

If you are looking for cheese, I really don't recommend it, go to whole food or Savenor instead (5 min walk)

• Pros: Location, staff
• Cons: Poor product quality (Cheese)
