About Us

Vace Italian Deli, established in 1976 by Blanca and Valerio Calcagno, launched its flagship location in Washington, DC. From the outset, it earned a reputation as the epitome of an Italian delicatessen. Nearly four decades later, Vace remains committed to providing traditional deli services with a touch of "old country charm" in a modernized era where personalized service is increasingly rare. Offering over 60 in-house crafted items, including freshly baked pizza and delectable homemade pasta, our goal is to uphold the tradition of wholesome, all-natural products at affordable prices. The Calcagno Family expresses heartfelt gratitude to our customers for their unwavering support of our small, family-owned, and operated local business.
