The flavors are spot-on, and you can taste the tradition and care in every bite. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to share recommendations and guide you to the best picks. If you’re in Brooklyn, Faicco’s is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates Italian heritage and flavors

I love this place. Christmas would not be the same without their yummies. Store is always immaculate. Staff is phenomenal. True old school Brooklyn business. ❤️

Exactly what they say they are! Amazing pork selection and sandwiches. Everyone was extremely nice. Bought two sandwiches and saved one of them for home. Opened it seven hours later and it was simply amazing! Next to the cheese shop and great bakeries close by as well. Worthy of the Trip! Don’t miss this one.

Love the pesto and rice balls, and the meat is super fresh.

There are no words to describe how delicious the food is from Faiccos. The guys behind the counter are great. Fast and courteous service. I have been going here for years and it's always a pleasure.

Great old-timey Italian butcher /deli. Old skill ways and rules. You take a number and shut up. While you're waiting look around and decide. Then when you're called you're ready and they will assist you and not rush until you are completely done. You have their undivided attention and if you're nice and polite maybe you'll get a rice ball. All products are of the highest quality. And my personal secret tip. Order an Italian Sandwich on a Hoagie. Have them cut it into 3. I ordered mine with sundried-tomatoes and some of the oil from same.

My husband’s family always shops here and I finally had a chance to experience it first hand. Meats are fresh they answer all my questions honestly. My favorites are the sausage rings that have less fat and more flavor. Staff treats everyone like family.

I told them their big dumb sign offended me, but they didn't actually help me pack. False advertising.

This is hands down the BEST pork store in NYC!!! I have been to both locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn and although the offerings differ a bit, they are all AMAZING!!! Shopping there is an experience any foodie will enjoy. The prices are also more affordable than supermarkets!

One of the best pork stores around. Very nice staff that is accommodating. The meats look very fresh and tasty. Bought small things like sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella, potato croquettes and macaroni salad. All very good and I can't say that about the other Pork stores. Will definitely be back.

My wife Antoinette and I moved into Manhattan 1982, we never ever stopped driving back to Brooklyn to shop at Faicco's Pork Store. Our Dear friend Lou Faicco runs the best Pork Store in New York City. I have recommended Faicco to countless friends over the years. If I could I would Rank his store TEN STARS.

It was crowded so I took a number and waited. While I waited i saw two roaches running around the floor. No biggie, it's a city , right? A few minutes later I saw a roach walking around the meat case - INSIDE the meat case! On the meat. What a happy roach. That was it for me. I left my number on the counter and I will never go back.

They are the best! I have been going there for over fifty years! The cleanest and best presented food anywhere. Joe A.

Best sausage around! You won't be disappointed, the chicken ring and pork rings are absolutely delicious, and the prepared foods are delicious too

Oh my goodness. This place has the best food I've ever tasted aside from going to Italy . I recommend 100 percent! You can't go wrong .

Best Italian sausage outside of Sicily. Braciola is to die for. Make trips to NY just to shop here.

All three, food, service and ambiance all wonderful! People who have moved to New Jersey come back to Brooklyn just for their sausage!

Highly overrated. Prices are exorbitant. The people that run the store aren't particularly nice.

Great Italian hero's and the pesto chicken cutlet from the Manhattan location is a work of art.

The food is beyond compare. But this is the only store we shop in that has politics on display front and center. It's insulting to assume this is what ALL customers which to experience.

Anytime im in nyc i go to faiccos and order the sausages to bring home with me on the plane. The BESt. They also opened one in Sarasota, Florida

Probably the best in dukes heights Brooklyn hands down see ya ..y out could probably eat off the floor in this establishment that's how clean it is. All the guy behind the counter are amazing too. Can't go wrong w/ any item

Wow! The second I walked in to the second I walked out I was starving. Everywhere I looked I wanted something. Whether prepared foods, cold cuts, meats or even imported goods stocked on the shelves. I was in Italian heaven. If you like cutlets, theirs are perfected seasoned and fried to perfection. Also has best pork in town! Can never make sunday sauce without Faicco's sausage

I needed to buy some Italian goodies on a Tuesday and Pastosa was closed, so I went to my plan B, Faicco's. Faicco's sells everything Italian: Pasta, Sausage, chopped Meat, San Marzano Tomatoes, Olives and fresh Mozzarella. The store is very, very clean and they take the Covid-19 protocols very seriously. I would go more often but parking on 11th Avenue is difficult, and the staff can be a bit gruff.

Approaching this Italian Wonderland from outside starts the experience. 4 butchers assembling fresh sausages on the massive table in the side window. The organized system- ticket to get served- was fast and efficient. Our sales guide was terrific- provided tastings and great guidance and humor. The shop is clean, beautifully merchandised, and everything looks fresh and high quality. We stocked up for a couple of family dinners, chatted up some masked Faicco fans on our side of the counter ( wished our servers were masked because all else was safe). Worth the visit and park on a side street!

The Best. We need you on staten island

After living in Brooklyn for 25 years, I finally made it over to this world-famous place. I ordered 2 sandwiches and the guy was really helpful and helped guide me. The sandwiches were amazing. I opted for a fresh pork loin slices with mozzarella and roasted peppers. MMMM...... I made 2 meals out of that. I also picked up some cheese and some of the potato balls at .85 cents each. In total my bill was about $36. The downside is the schlepp over here. It's just not easy to get to, so you're either investing your time or the money for a car service back to home base. With that said, I'm going to try the one on Bleeker street in the city next time, just to compare. The cleanliness of the store, the freshness of the products and the professionalism of the staff speaks for itself. At the end of the day, you will be satisfied.

First time there. Didn't order much. The eggplant parmigiana was very thinly sliced. I was looking fir the eggplant! It tasted delicious. My only comment was that the sauce was just a but watery. I am not sure if it was frozen the thawed, or ..they just make a thinner sauce than I am used to. I go everywhere to try eggplant. Their chicken cutlets were delicious, though small. Everything else looked great. I will go back and try the chicken parmigiana and rice balls next time.

The paper thin hot housemade soppressta blew me away when the guy easily shaved off four slivers to try. I was warned this is the spot he frequented with his boys back in the day. And to see the 20 or so people standing in line for odds and ends amuck the raw meat buffet... I dared say I've had it before- soppressata. No big deal. I was frigging wrong. Way wrong. They are special here and you have to have it to know it. That's all I'll say. Then the rice balls. For $0.85 each- they are frigging phenomenal. Because I am lacking vocabulary today clearly. The cheapest one is the creamiest best $0.85 one can spend on anything. I promise. And the broccoli rabe and prosciutto ones were yummy too. Oh man, Faiccos serve everything. From tartufo to ready made pastas, dried goods from various popular and obscure vendors to housemade muzz to raw stuffed sausages and deli meat. Like selling ice to an Eskimo- I'll buy anything from them.

Clean, fresh, great staff best pork store by far. Same every time you go best sausage

In a perfect world, I'd do my grocery shopping at a variety of small, locally-owned specialty markets. In this one, I make one stop at either Fairway or Whole Foods where I stock up on everything I need. This includes meat. Occasionally, though, I like to change up the routine by going to a butcher shop instead. That's how I wound up here: Anyway, since I had beef stew on the brain, I was instantly drawn to some gorgeous looking slabs of Chuck Roast. One of the counter guys pleasantly accommodated my request to cube up a couple pounds of this. Also got a few Rice Balls, that as it turns out, are fried to order. Yeah, that's right. Maybe I don't get out much, but the only other place I've ever seen do this was BK's incomparable Joe's Superette, which has been shuttered for years (R.I.P.). This shop is as immaculate and well-organized as everyone says. Plus all the enticingly displayed meats look uber fresh. At 6.50 per pound, the Chuck that I bought wasn't the cheapest, but for the quality, especially compared with the $8.99 per pound I believe I've seen at Whole Paycheck, err Foods, it was well worth it. Indeed. The aforementioned counter guy cubed it into perfect bite-sized chunks, rather than the typical pre-cut, randomly-sized pieces from the supermarket that, frankly, seem like they're scraps. As if that weren't impressive enough, it cooked up like buttah! As for those Rice Balls (.75 for classic Cheese; $1.25 for Prosciutto), for me, they did not fill the huge void left by Joe's Superette. But they came closer than all the others I've tried! Bottom line: As much as I wish I could include this shop as part of my regular weekly food shopping rotation, alas, ain't nobody got time for that. But you can bet I'll be plotting to return sometime soon try other things, including the Meatballs, Spinach Bread, & Sausage Bread that I spotted on this visit.

Amazing food, service, and spotless clean. Def worth the wait for food you want..............

Excellent fresh food. I got the chicken cutlet with fresh mozz and pesto on a seeded hero.

Awesome pork store, sandwiches, fresh mozzarella, etc. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The go to spot!

My buddy said they have the best sandwiches and boy was he was right! Will be back the next time im in the area. Chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella balsamic

I have a few telling thoughts about this establishment where I have shopped for about forty years. Clean, clean and clean. Now, they are dealing with COVID with a store set-up as good as any I have seen. You come in and can get anything you want served any way you want it prepared. If they run out of an item and you can wait, they will prepare more for you. Real, honest Italian hospitality... Many (most) of the staff have been working here for years. How could that be? They are the friendliest crew I have ever encountered in a food service establishment. I have moved about sixty miles away and this is still my go-to for sausage (all kinds), cold cuts and prepared foods. If you enjoy mozzarella you owe it to yourself to get on over there. A solid a five stars with a push for being able to maintain such cleanliness, food quality and service for decades without a hitch.

I love this place and the guys that work here are awesome. There always so fun and smiling. I go there for the usual few items that I can recommend and really wished I lived closer to buy products more often! To begin they do sell imported prosciutto di parma do I recommend it? absolutely is it cheap, NO! Is it worth it ABSOLUTELY! You will want to place your mouth under the prosciutto cold cut cutter. There sliced pepperoni is amazing and fresh! They also serve fresh cooked chicken cutlets which are good, not great but really good. There fresh mozzarella is worth it along with going for a block of there asiago cheese. Make sure to buy a pound of there sweet dried sausage just so so good! They have such a large selection of fresh meats such as fresh sausages definitely a good place to keep in mind when searching for fresh meats or, during the afternoon a solid good sandwich. On a side note, Parking is very difficult and is predominantly meters. SO beware. They accept credit cards and pack everything up so nicely, sealed, and double bagged. Definitely worth the visit and half and hour drive from my house to purchase my meats!! They sell canned tomatoes to make fresh tomato sauce and have a refrigerated section with some sauces and other products.

Cleanest pork store in brooklyn Greeting- yes Vibe- pork Service- very good Price- Avg Parking- street BR- ask Food Fresh chik cutlets tasty. Thin like i prefer. Flavored breading. Fresh mootz not good. Too cream cheese like. Balsamic glaze and tomatoes $10.50. WIGB? No

Tremendous sausage coupled with good service. Also I love the hats behind the counter.

Very few times does a 5 star place live up to every expectation you have for it... THIS PLACE DOES! The place is clean, well organized, and filled with many delicious items. This includes raw meats from the butcher shop or sandwiches from the deli side. You can actually see the butchers doing their work through the glass in the back room. There isnt a set menu for the sandwiches you can just choose whatever you want. I got the roast beef with mozzarella and it was divine. The thing that put it over the top was the bread. It was fantastic. This place is a gem and i would highly recommend it to anyone in the ny/nj area. Well done!!! I will be back very soon.

Anything old school you've ever wanted all in one spot. Would eat the rice balls and fresh mozzarella and chicken parm everyday if I could....and the staff is amazing - pros in every single way...

Best sausage all around . Great pork store,not cheap but you always get excellent quality items . Store is clean and service is great . Worth the trip and the wait

The best olives and sausage on earth. The sweetest dudes. But really, all I care about right now is HOW FREAKING CLEAN IT IS. Everyone was masked up, plastic sheeting everywhere. One shopper at a time. Plus, again, olives.

Been passing by Faicco's for about half my life and never stopped in for one reason or another (my loss). Was running errands in the neighborhood and needed to pick up bacon (and I knew Faicco's bacon was top notch from their burger at Prime Meats), so it was a perfect choice. You walk in, and you see all sorts of delicious meats in the deli cases, as well as a bunch of other Italian goods. Wish I had time (and appetite) for their famed sandwiches, but settled for their country-smoked bacon and some rice balls (and prosciutto balls). All delicious. Nice dudes behind the counter too.

Nevers failed as a meat market. Has the tastiest sausages. Just give em a go! All of them are so good. Their ribs are also one of their most delicious items. Just look at them. They're so fat and tender looking!!

Always on point with all the products they sell. Can't get anything fresher/better in the neighborhood. Customer service is always friendly

Our go-to on every visit to NYC! Go directly to the back counter and order the Arancini (stuffed rice balls with cheese or ham). Ask for them heated and then enjoy them on the bench outside or park less than a block away. Truly amazing! Lots of gourmet meats too. This area has lots of great foodie finds!! You can't go wrong at any of them!

There is no place else to shop for the best Italian Pork store in Brooklyn. There is nothing that you won't love. The store is immaculate, there are many workers on hand to service the line. Do grab a ticket though, you may wait but worth it and worth every cent! If you call in your order your golden... walk to the back give them your name and out you go!

Drove from LI to try this. Just wow!!! Def worth the drive, left there with 3 hero's since i couldn't decide which to get. Staff is awesome. A Must try!

Travel very far for this awesome butcher shop. The rice balls and prosciutto balls are absolutely delicious. I also love the fresh sausage. Has the feel of a family owned Italian shop, and the employees treat you like family. One employee gave the lady's daughter next to me a free rice ball to enjoy while preparing their order.

Terrible service. No lines or organization. They don't use the number system. I get on a "Line" , Im next.. a guy walks in and the guy behind the counter waives him to the rear of the store and takes his order. When he finishes another guy walks in and he does the same. I protest. He mildly apologizes to me, but continues to apologize to the guy he tried to take out of turn. Cut my order down to a few sausages, while my fingers worked on my iphone on line to find Collucuios where I spent $250.00 for my party this weekend. You didnt want my business, you won, you didnt get it.

This is a must visit Pork Store with an old school vibe. Butcher area with look in view from street. Saw dust on floor. They make excellent Hero's, their Broccoli rabe rice balls are a must get on every trip. Their pork products are in another league compared to any other places I've been too. The Dry Sausage is phenomenal and their cheese and parsley sausage rings are excellent. Excellent marinated roasted peppers and their bread is great too. You pay for what you get and all you get here is top quality. when you get done here go down to Villabate Alba for gelato or incredible pastries.

Without question, our favorite Italian hero. It was so packed with a variety of meats, that we all could only eat half. Service excellent, store immaculate & what a treat!

I'm ashamed I haven't reviewed my favorite butcher shop of about 15yrs Every cut of meat; beef, pork, & veal is terrific. The house made sausages like the Fennel ones are great, they even have really nice prosciutto balls and rice balls and lard bread made all the time. Once in awhile I may grab a sandwich or a ready to heat Veal/Chicken Parm dinner. ****Pro Tip: they make their own stromboli type bread where you tell them how much you want by sizing your two hands apart like an imaginary ruler, you know what I mean? This is not a stack em deep and sell em cheap operation, freshness & quality is of the highest concern. I've never left here thinking i overpaid for my selections, I usually feel like I bought more than was necessary, because gluttony is my default mode. Every person in the store is extremely friendly & pleasant, and happy to answer any questions or customize a cut to your special requests. There's a number system for when it's busy ( like leading up to holidays) I like it when a place has a system ( like Bagel Boy in Bay Ridge!!) If you go in when they are not super busy, yI guarantee you will be greeted with a 'Hi, how can I help you' The place is impeccably clean, and at different times of the day you can also watch them butchering cuts and making sausage in a butcher room off of the main showroom/counter case. You can get a great view of this from the sidewalk. It's that type of transparency in butchering that ensures you are receiving the freshest of products. They do close out before 6 everyday, and early on Sundays, and one more tip, keep your eyes peeled in the summer for their signs announcing their vacation of a few weeks, they close and give every employee vacation all at one time. Now I wish this place hadn't already closed for the day after properly reviewing one of the best businesses in this neighborhood.

Love this place. Incredible heroes. If your looking for a good lunch sandwich witch is big enough for dinner to that is nothing but the best quality meats and bread in NYC look no further. I usually order off the hero's of the week menu on the top left and I'm never disappointed. Cost about $12 for a foot long and about 2-3 inches of meats. I believe they get there breads from parisi bakery down the block and there amazing , I have a review of them as well. This place is a must stop and try.

This place is the real deal. We've been going every Saturday for the past three years. It's the best butcher shop in Brooklyn. Everything is super fresh and always delicious. The staff is always helpful and friendly, and the quality of the products are always top of the line. Some may say it's expensive, but there is no substitute for the best.

Best salumeria in the neighborhood, killer sausage, brocciole, milk fed veal, etc. I love this place and still stop in when I am back in the old neighborhood.
