Our 2026 Christmas Deli Is Now Open!

The festive season has officially arrived at Carluccio's! As the air turns crisp and the holiday spirit begins to gather, our online Italian deli is delighting food lovers across the UK with the launch of our full Christmas shop.

In Italy, Christmas is fundamentally a celebration of togetherness, tradition, and joyous feasting. From long family lunches spanning hours to the simple pleasure of sharing sweet treats with friends, food sits at the very heart of the festive Italian home. This year, we are bringing those authentic flavours, centuries-old traditions, and artisanal craftsmanship directly to your dining table.

The Stars of the Feast: Panettone and Pandoro

No Italian festive table is complete without the grand centrepiece of regional baking: traditional festive cakes. Handcrafted using time-honoured sourdough starter yeast, slow-steeped ingredients, and meticulous multi-day proving methods, our selection captures the true spirit of Milanese and Veronese baking.

Whether you adore the fragrant, fruit-studded richness of classic Panettone or prefer the golden, buttery elegance of Pandoro dusted with vanilla icing sugar, our range offers something for every celebration. Perfect for morning espresso pairings, afternoon gatherings, or post-dinner indulgent desserts, these traditional loaves remain the ultimate symbol of holiday hospitality.

Decadent Cakes and Confectionery

Beyond our iconic Panettone, our Christmas deli features a treasure trove of indulgent cakes and confectionery carefully crafted by artisan producers across Italy.

• Artisanal Cakes and biscuits: Discover rich chocolate-infused baked creations, traditional nutty regional specialties, and velvety panforte packed with honey, spices, and candied fruit.

• Sweet Delights: Explore our luxurious selection of chocolate pralines, moreish gianduiotti, festive torrone nougat, and delicate fruit-filled sweets designed to make every coffee break feel extra special.

The Ultimate Gift Range for Food Lovers

Looking for the perfect gift for the foodies in your life? Our 2026 Christmas collection features an exceptional range of beautifully packaged gifts, thoughtfully curated gift boxes, and luxurious hampers filled to the brim with regional specialties. There are Christmas-themed gifts of course! But there are also rich extra virgin olive oils and aged balsamic vinegars to handcrafted pasta shapes, specialty sauces, and even preserves, our gifts bring the warmth and passion of authentic Italian dining straight to your loved ones.
