Piccinini Bros

I love to cook, and they have really great products there. I always have a conversation and almost always meet someone I know there.

A quality butcher shop in the neighborhood is a gift. Even in the pandemic, they offered some of the best cuts in the city. Don’t sleep on Poseidon bakery next door for your sweet and savory meal additions

While I’m still devoted to Esposito’s when it comes to smoked ham and sausages, I can’t pass Piccinini’s without planning a meal. Thanks to the pandemic’s temporary effect on wholesale businesses, we now have permanent retail access to this artisan butchery with the coveted USDA Prime certification. If I have time, I grind their chuck meat for burgers, but the mouth waters while remembering their ready house brisket blend, which makes a tasty burger or meatloaf base. I used to be a vegetarian, but their double-cut, bone-in pork chops or a marinated flank give me reason to live meaty from time to time.

I am so glad Piccinini Brothers opened their butcher shop up for retail business. Their products are tastier and fresher than any other place I’ve purchased meat. They vacuum seal everything which makes it easy to store and keep fresh. The heritage turkey is a must for my Thanksgiving meal. Though I haven’t purchased the dry-age beef yet, it looks amazing. The staff is kind and helpful.
