The Delmonico Way: Sublime Entertaining and Legendary Recipes from the Restaurant That Made New York Hardcover – November 1, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
Located in the heart of Wall Street, Delmonico’s from 1827 to today continues to shape New York City’s restaurant scene. Under the original ownership of The Delmonico Brothers, Pietro and Giovanni, Delmonico’s introduced the first farm-to-table concept, à la carte dining—complete with white tablecloths and menus—but most notably created the phenomenon called the “power lunch." Despite Delmonico’s triumphs, the impact of World War I and the era of Prohibition caused the family to cease operations, shuttering the restaurant and all Delmonico locations by 1923. In 1926 a new era for Delmonico’s arose. Oscar Tucci, a Tuscan immigrant, took over ownership and re-established Delmonico’s first as a Speakeasy and then he continued the Delmonico brothers’ tradition, transforming it to a beacon of fine dining. Oscar developed a strict code of hospitality, etiquette, and operations coupled with legendary libations and superb fare known as the Delmonico way. The Delmonico way still lives on today because of Max Tucci. THE DELMONICO WAY: SUBLIME ENTERTAINING & LEGENDARY RECIPES FROM THE RESTAURANT THAT MADE NEW YORK! by Max Tucci, Oscar’s grandson, opens the double doors of his family's Delmonico’s, welcoming us to a world when dining out was a glamorous affair. Max along with his celebrity chef friends offer timeless recipes and Max, shares his tips for recreating the magic of the Delmonico way at home. Max continues his family's gracious hospitality ethics by welcoming all to Delmonico’s. Max's credo, "Moving forward, while looking back." The credo and Max's efforts of keeping the sacred brand thriving led Max to become the IACP 2023 Trailblazer Award Recipient.
Delmonico's was quite the scene, royalty, celebrities, socialites, U.S. presidents, foreign dignitaries, and business tycoons all frequented Delmonico’s. Elizabeth Taylor, President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, Rock Hudson, Marilyn Monroe, Lena Horne, Gypsy Rose Lee, Eva Gabor and Zsa Zsa Gabor, King Umberto II of Italy, The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, President Richard Nixon, Chubby Checker, Christine Jorgensen, and Joan Crawford were among some of the most notable names that Tucci welcomed to his tables which were famously adorned with Ginori, Baccarat, Lalique, and Christofle.
Each chapter is organized around a style of dining that Delmonico’s pioneered or perfected under Tucci’s proprietorship, including how to host an impressive power lunch (featuring Oscar's creation, the signature wedge salad); a glamorous cocktail soirée before a night on the town, complete with oysters Rockefeller and shrimp cocktail; and the perfect romantic dinner for two with a show-stopping seafood tower and ribeye Bordelaise. THE DELMONICO WAY includes over 70 recipes, including two from the restaurant’s most famous alumni, Sirio Maccioni’s Pasta Primavera and Tony May’s trademarked Uovo Raviolo. In addition to fine fare, "The Bar'' chapter features sophisticated cocktails that include the classic Delmonico, a legendary Negroni with a "Delmonico way" twist, and the festive Spencer cocktail created by artist Ashley Longshore's grandmother.
Renowned designer Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich expertly layers vintage era photographs, ephemera, menus, and countless other gems featured in THE DELMONICO WAY that remind us that entertaining with style, elegance, sophistication, and intention remain just as relevant today as it did during the height of the era.

Best Books to Read This November: "Founded in 1827, Delmonico's became one of the world's best known restaurants thanks to inventing iconic dishes—hello, wedge salad!—as well as bulletproof trends like the power lunch. Now a hefty tome by Max Tucci, grandson of an early owner, is sharing more than 70 of the eatery's most beloved recipes (cocktails, thank goodness, included) as well as stories from its glamorous past, and tips on entertaining in the book's namesake style." —TOWN AND COUNTRY
"...a brilliantly done tribute to a NY institution. The book has a retro feel – mid centrury modern with a wealth of photographs that narrate the history of the restaurant. We are allowed to take a look inside the “rooms” of the restaurant such as the Hunt or Palm room with photographs and stories of the A-list stars who dined and/or performed there including Gypsy Rose Lee and Debbie Reynolds. Recipes include Max’s wedge salad, Flaming baked Alaska cupcakes, and many cocktails! Menus for special occasions such as “dinner in style” are shared in this book that is as much about the history of Delmonicos as it is about the food served there." —EAT YOUR BOOKS

A visual masterpiece! Not to mention, it's a beautiful coffee table book. The quality of the pages, the gorgeous photographs inside, and the history throughout, make this more than just a book...but a keepsake for years to come. Plus hint hint: DELMONICO'S may be reopening in 2023-2024 with some of the original owners back in, so keep an eye open! Until then, enjoy this beautiful book and have yourself a cocktail just like they served in this famous landmark restaurant! This book would also make a great 🎁! One page is more beautiful than the next!

The recipes in this cookbook are all inspired by the iconic Delmonico's restaurant in New York City and are carefully crafted to bring the restaurant's signature flavors and techniques to your own kitchen. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the photography throughout the book is absolutely stunning.
One thing I particularly love about this cookbook is the range of recipes included. From classic dishes like Lobster Newberg and Oysters Rockefeller to more modern takes on cocktails, power lunches, and family meals to romantic dinners, there is truly something for everyone in this book.
What sets "The Delmonico Way" apart from other cookbooks is the attention to detail and the heartfelt stories provided throughout the book. Max Tucci has clearly put a lot of thought and love into each recipe, and it shows in the delicious results. Max Tucci’s family motto is “All are welcome at my table” and the essence of that is felt as you flip through every page.
Overall, I highly recommend "The Delmonico Way" to anyone who loves to cook and wants to elevate their home cooking game. It's a fantastic addition to any cookbook collection and is sure to impress both novice and experienced cooks alike. Five stars!
