Super sausages and meats, old time atmosphere, friendly people, part of the neighborhood for decades, family owned. It's the best.

Great meat and great service

Rebecca Hackett

Wonderful!!! Walked in and was greeted with friendly faces and offered a seat because I was carrying my baby... They were joking and laughing with each other the whole time.. The meat was was fresh and when I got home it was perfect... Well packaged for the ride home.. Can't wait to cook it!! I will be back every month!!! ...... On a side note I noticed nothing out of the ordinary no roaches or mouse droppings... I was there a good amount of time it was clean as a whistle!!!

Simply amazing butchery with an impressive variety of lamb, veal, and pork sausages. Good prices also and helpful and friendly staff. Whenever I bring friends from out of town to the Italian Market, i make sure to bring them here.

Sad, social media posts mocking dead animals and making tasteless remarks about their skinned corpses being good pets. Disgusted and appalled!

Good sausage hand made by mama cappuccio

Brian Mohr

Highly disappointed. Bought baby back ribs Friday afternoon and they we rancid when I opened them today. Won’t shop again.

Carrie Lloyd

I love them all of their meats are fresh!!

Worse meatballs i ever taste....bought two packs of frozen meatballs..made homemade sauce thinking they were going to taste awesome and they were horrible meatballs that spoiled my sauce...never again

Timothy Conheeney

Great selection and exceptional service! Mom and Dad can still be found in the shop at 90+ years young. Don't try to order sausage without fennel in front of Antoinette! They have Herr's beef, and sometimes have dry aged steaks ready on hand. Joe and Elliot are both some of the best butchers in town. Try the sun-dried tomato + mozz, and the chevalatta sausage!

Charlie Forshee

Buyers beware. Would give 0 stars if I could: walked in was looking for the meats and pricing when the miserable white guy behind the counter today said “What do you want, hun” (great way to get on my good side, ha). When I asked for pricing and availability on short rib and ground beef mix, as well as availability on 1 other item, he didn’t offer pricing just turned away and apparently thought that was my way of ordering. The ground beef in the cooler looked rancid. No other butchers in the Market were open today. When he said my order was ready he did so by saying “that will be $59” (for 1 lb of short rib and 4 lbs of ground beef) - this was the full exchange of words in my visit so far. As I asked how fresh the meat was he said “hun, you just saw me cut it right in front of you.” I kindly requested how many days it was there for he said “four days, you don’t get any fresher than that.” I settled the bill and he handed me a receipt covered in raw ground meat.

My father in law got food poisoning from the meat here. The meat had little worms in it and my mother in law removed rhem and cooked it anyway. For the sake of your health avoid.

It's a real butcher shop and not one of these stores pretending to be one. The place smells like meat all the time but what else do you expect. The prices of the meat are ok. I mainly go there for the dry age steak and depending on the time you go they have some of the most beautiful dry age steak on hand. Overall a nice place to go to for your meats.

Meredith Sonnen

This place is a wonderful establishment that welcomes you in like you are a new neighbor every time. The products are great, the butchers are knowledgeable and they treat you like family. They'll give you advice if you aren't sure and are always down for a good joke or story. The staff here have worked together for decades and it shows in their established routine (like a dance behind the counters), and gentle ribbing of each other. They make over 40 kinds of handmade sausage and I am on a mission to try each one. I've yet to be disappointed with anything they have here. Treat yourself to a visit and try the sicilian wine sausage! Life changing!
