Our story

Italicatessen is Ireland's leading importer of premium Italian food & wine. 
Our company was founded in 2002 as a small family run business, with the mission of importing and distributing Italy's top quality food and wines to the Irish Market. Thanks to our in-depth product knowledge and rooted relationships with key players in the industry, we soon became a point of reference on the Irish market for all those independent stores, restaurant and retailers looking for quality Italian food products. 
Since the very beginning of our journey, our choices have always been driven by our passion for fine foods and authentic Italian ingredients, which we source from the best producers across Italy, to bring Irish consumers only the finest and authentic flavours of the traditional Italian culinary heritage.

Our product portfolio includes some of Italy's most famous and appreciated brands, like Rummo pasta, Levoli salumi, Steriltom tomatoes, Caputo flour and many more, that we manage and build on the Irish market. Over the years, we have developed a unique range of products to meet the different needs of any business. We work with independent retailers, restaurants, supermarket chains and hotels, managed by our sales force and National Account Management team.  

We sorurce only the best products from carefully selected Italian suppliers who share our values and priciples.

We select top quality meats and cheeses from the best producers in Italy then prepare, cut and pack them in our state of the art production room in county Wicklow.

We slice our meats fresh, not frozen, to ensure the quality remains at the highest level.
