Katzinger’s Delicatessen Dublin and Napa Kitchen + Bar have continued to support the mission of DEF.
Locally owned and operated, Katzinger’s is much more than an award-winning traditional New York-style delicatessen with both dine-in and carry-out service. Also a specialty foods store featuring artisan cheeses, meats, dry goods, breads, homemade desserts and wine, Katzinger’s is a one-stop party prep for any occasion large or small.
NAPA Kitchen + Bar is inspired by the spirit of gathering around a table with friends and family to connect over wine and food. With wine philosophy rooted in approachability and exploration, NAPA’s retail wine selection is 400 bottles deep, sourced from around the world and available for take-home purchase at a 50-percent discount.
Gift cards for either Katzinger’s or Napa Kitchen & Bar are an easy option for the giving season ahead!
