This iconic place enjoyed a reputation for selling only the highest quality meats, cheeses and specialty food items that you couldn't find any where else!

The founder established the business in 1914 and in the 1930's his son took over the operations. There were wonderful aroma's that greeted customers upon opening the door of what famous business in New Bedford?

Salvati's Delicatessen at 925 Purchase St. sold only top shelf items from 1914, when Gioacchio Salvati opened until 1971, when his son, Sal Salvati, closed the famous deli that welcomed customers with delicious aromas from the moment you entered Salvati's Deli, a highly regarded downtown New Bedford memory!
