Salumeria Biellese, Italian delicatessen in Chelsea, Manhattan, US

Salumeria Biellese is an Italian delicatessen in Chelsea that specializes in handcrafted sausages, salami, and cured meats prepared using traditional methods. The shop operates both retail and wholesale services from its location on 8th Avenue in Manhattan.

The shop opened in 1925 as an Italian grocery and meat shop at the corner of 8th Avenue and 28th Street. Over the decades it has remained a steady presence for Italian cured meats in Manhattan.

The name comes from Biella, the northern Italian province the two founders left in 1925. The counter still sells salumi made to Italian recipes: salame, capocollo in spicy and mild versions, mortadella, zampino stuffed in pork leg skin, testa and sausages. In 2010 Slow Food NYC gave the shop its seal of approval.

The deli sits at the corner of 8th Avenue and 29th Street, one block north of its original 28th Street site, in Chelsea. Seating is available for customers who want to eat on the premises rather than take food away.

In 2010 Salumeria Biellese received a seal of approval from Slow Food NYC, a recognition tied to the quality of its cured meats. The shop also runs a production factory in New Jersey and, with its partners, opened the Italian restaurant Biricchino at 260 West 29th Street. In 2025 the business reaches its 100th year on the same stretch of 8th Avenue.
