Piccinini Bros

Gave me less than 2/3 the weight of meat I ordered and paid for, refused to give any sort of even partial refund (Sorry for using it AFTER taking pics for proof, I should've just cancelled my plans when you screwed my order up!)

Just Wow, some of the best meat I’ve gotten in the city. They have hard to find cuts like Filet Split at more then reasonable prices. I also got chuck, breakfast sausage and short rib brisket ground for burgers. Everything came vacuumed sealed and very fresh. I’m so glad I finally found a quality butcher and one that delivers too!

July 4, 2023, What a way to have a barbecue, get it nice and hot throw on a Piccinini 42 oz. Porterhouse and a couple of their outstanding filets, get the grill marks and lip smacking good. We can’t say enough about the quality that you provide. Thank you again! Ps Dad gave me a marrow bone to munch on! Buzz It’s now then end of thanksgiving 2022, and I must say that for the last 2 years we have been buying our thanksgiving turkeys from you and bar none there is no better. They’re just outstanding yes they’re more costly then when you buy from a supermarket or even a local butcher. However, there’s thanksgiving and you deserve only the best and that’s what Piccinini gives you. Thank you. Since the last time I wrote my little buddy @bizy_buzz, said, Dad it's time you wrote another review telling Piccinini Bros how great they are, and how wonderful the products are that we get from them. He said tell them the truth that "they're you favorite," so when little Buzz speaks I listen! Thank you again from all of us! We started buying from Piccinini about 18 months ago, basically when they started accepting online orders and delivering to NYC and Long Island. What a blessing, The quality and selection of provisions is simple amazing. Over the years I have purchased a significant amount of similar products from D'Artagnan and Agata on 79th Street in NYC. Now, I'd say pretty much all of my meat comes from Piccinni, as does the poultry and various other assorted items. The biggest bonus is that I get my frozen marrow bones for my puppy too, which is of the utmost importance to me. They are a wonderful purveyor, a caring provider and a local business and they need community support. The racks of lamb I served our company last night, naturally are the same you'd get in your upscale restaurant. they were just simply amazing. I felt compelled to posting this note, most of what I post are restaurant reviews but I needed to do this! Thank you Sylvie and staff!

Best (and freshest) guanciale I’ve ever had in NYC. My kids loved the sweet sausages as well—impossibly tender, so good. Will be back to try steaks, which looked fantastic. Great service, butcher gave me a recipe for beef stew when I asked .

Great customer service. I needed a custom meat setup for my new diet and the lady at the front did an amazing job working with my budget. I now go every week.

I’m so disappointed. I called the shop to make sure they would be able to fabricate the simple order I was going to send. I was assured “absolutely”, just put it in the instructions. I received both items incorrectly. I called and was told the owner would call to rectify the situation. No call. I’m a Private Chef. I live uptown and could easily get the simple items here. I was looking for a butcher who could do the correct cut and trim. Oh well :(

This place will spoil you for quality meat. We can’t fathom going back to grocery store meats. It’s all so much more flavorful. And I can get interesting pieces like calf liver and pig ears. They say they can fulfill special requests and I’ve asked them for things like the calf liver and American Wagyu. They check with their sources, give me a price, and it’s included in my order. It’s still a small business so you won’t have Amazon-like responses, but I’m delighted to support a local business.

One of the last great original butcher shop's in the city, ~100 years old. Recently open to the public. You can now purchase restaurant quality cut meats. They have everything you could want from from beef, pork, dry-aged steak, chicken, duck, sausage, bolognese, and more. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This is a hidden gem you don't want to miss.
