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

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. read more

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

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! read more

Best pork store in Brooklyn; a true gem of Brooklyn. Try the parsley sausage rings, they are awesome! Cant beat the hot sausage either!

Let me preface this all by saying for my own selfish reasons, DO NOT COME HERE. Me and the girlfriend went foraging for food; she--cranky and taking it out on me; me--hungry and tired. She woke up and couldn't find her prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich in the fridge from last night--we found out my brother took a bite and said "it tasted a bit like wine and thought it went bad so I threw it out..." *FACEPALM*...why? because that meant for me? DOGHOUSE. the wrath came down on me for her wrathful hunger rage. Enter saving grace. In a panic, I scrambled to Faicco's place for whatever reason thinking it was a sandwich place and was a bit let down that it seemed more like a deli....huge mistake stepping foot into this place...the smells instantly drove my mouth insane--my salivaries were orgasming with the smells of fresh sauces and just sunday dinner all over.... The line seemed to take forever--I mean honestly...what the hell people...go find things to do and get the hell out of the store we wants food! Our order: 1lb domestic Prosciutto, 1 Mozzarella Ball (though i'm curious about the smoked moz) 12 prosciutto balls 6 rice balls 6 potato balls. 1 loaf of bread (sesame seed loaf?) Ambitious? maybe...but we were hungry and if it was any good my family would be all over it...and I needed out of the dog house....but then I had the thought "if this place ends up sucking...then i'm never getting out..." The prosciutto balls we picked at on the drive home--we had one and tried to put it away...but then I reasoned "if we eat one more we have an even 10 and they don't have to know" she replied "I knew there was a reason I loved you"...SCORE. We get home with every intent on making sandwiches... while getting the balsamic out and prepping the cheese i took a bite of the prosciutto and my gf tried the cheese and took one look at each other...an intent on a civil meal turned into a primal slaughter. forget slicing the bread--we tore chunks of bread dipped it in the balsamic, took a piece of prosciutto and cheese and just ate like starved 3rd world children... we now have half a pound left, like 1/3 of the cheese, half a loaf, and half of the balls...sucks for the rest of the family....but now i'm ready to pass out...oh man.... never again............ .... ....we'll be back soon..... read more

I am really jealous that we have NOTHING like this in Boston, there is no where to go for the freshest home made sausages and italian eats like this. I went for my first time and am totally impressed by the selection of meats, sausages and prepared foods. Things I bought: Cheese Sausage Ring Chicken Sausage Links Rice Balls (omg yum) Prosciutto Balls (omg yummier) Fried Ravioli Lard Bread (holy crap amazing) A note about the sausage. Just looking at it you see how amazingly fresh and home made it is, and also, its not filled with fat. There is some, yes but its not like supermarket sausage. Totally worth every penny. read more

Take it from a guy named Vito: this is the only place to buy Italian sausage and other Italian delights (Braciole, dried hot or sweet sausage, fresh mozzarella, etc). Everything is fabulous, except the Italian Bread, which is a tad hard for me. Hell, that is just me being extremely nit picky. My dad took me here 45 years ago, when they were allowed to have sawdust on the floor. Now, the place is spotless, incredibly clean. My wife can't eat pork, so I buy her the Chicken sausage and I swear, it is just as good. A place that has been around for years and whose reputation is in line with reality. A true Brooklyn institution and landmark. Actually one of the reasons why I would never move away! We buy food from here and bring or ship it to friends and family all over the country. I would say you can't get this food anywhere else, but that is not technically true. I spotted similar items at "Eataly" on 23 Street. They were twice the price for half the portions. Easily worth the trip from Manhattan, although they do have a place on Bleeker Street that is just as good. Enjoy. read more

This is seriously HEAVEN! So I took the train from Philly into New York to visit the bf. The bf was having dinner with his family so I decided to pick up a prosciutto and mozzarella sub from the train station. I only ate half since it was getting late and wrapped up the other half for the morning. I woke up and it was gone!?!! I was very upset. You know that Friends episode with Ross and the turkey sub.."YOU ATE MYYYY SANDWICH!?!" I know it wasn't the bf's fault but his brother's (who threw out the sandwich thinking it went bad!!) But I could not help feeling miserable the entire morning. You know how they say when one door closes, a window opens? Faccio's is the ultimate window. I recall seeing Faccio's on a blog somewhere and had it bookmarked to visit. I thought it was a bit like a cafe but it wasn't the place where I could go order a sandwich. But the place is very charming nonetheless. A bit of a tight squeeze from all of the customers waiting, it was overwhelming. Take a number, wait your turn. The prosciutto and fresh mozzarella was heavenly. The prosciutto balls are also worth trying as well. The service is amazing, these guys run around making sure everyone is taking care of promptly. Such a great place, I'll be dreaming of this.. read more

It's the real deal. But no lamb and only veal cutlets. Shucks. The sausage seemed to be the golden calf here. Bought some sausage. Then right in front of my FACE were these rice balls and prosciutto balls. Never had a prosciutto ball. He put one in a state fair fried basket for the road. Now the prosciutto ball is basically fried ricotta and a little prosciutto mixed in. Although Italian, it looked at home in that fried food basket. But it was so good. And I had a moment standing there thinking, "Do I have to walk back into this MF?" The next two nights I worked the sausage into some pastas. The sausage here is the Michael Jordan of sausage. It's on another level. read more

Faicco's Pork store is as good as it's gets! INCREDIBLY tasty sausage---this is the ONLY place we buy it--cheese and parsley wheels, hot fennel, cocktail sausages--YUM. BEST fresh mozzarella EVER....every time I get it for parties, it gets rave reviews. We also love the rice balls, Prociutto balls (to die for) and fried ravioli's. (although I think the prociutto balls are a bit overpriced if you ask me). Great sausage breads, salami's, olives, you name it, they have it and one is more delish than the next. Their stromboli's are also excellent. The store is also pristine and clean....and even though most times it's packed....it moves very quickly. Highly recommend this place...you'll never go anywhere else again!! read more

Words cannot describe how incredible this italian speciality store really is. First of all, the store is pristine and every worker is well groomed and tidy, (my mom insists they all get manicures! ha). The workers never fail at greeting their customers with a smile. Secondly, the food is always fresh. I would not recommend buying meat from anywhere else. You won't be disappointed. The chicken cutlets are sliced thin, perfectly cut, and ready to be fried or baked. If I'm having a bad day, Faicco's is definitely my 'go to' for comfort food! They make a ton of yummy appetizers, which are always a huge hit at parties. Be ware- holiday time can be totally chaotic so plan accordingly! What to get: -Chicken tenders (with a hint of lemon flavoring) -Potato croquettes -Rice Balls -Prosciutto balls -Fresh mozzarella -Broccoli Rabe bread -Eggplant bread -Olive bread -Stuffed mushrooms -Cold Cuts (they slice so thin!) -macaroni and potato salad And so so much more! Faicco also makes the most spectacular sandwiches. My favorite sandwich: Roast beef, fresh mozzarella, shredded lettuce, mayo, and tomato! I also love their desert freezer, which always has tartufo, tortoni, and sorbet. I can't say enough good things about Faicco's. Sounds weird but this store makes me proud to be an italian (; read more

Faicco's is hands down the best butcher in the Northeast. My grandmother has been shopping here longer than I've been alive (so at least 30 years, let's just leave it at that). Every Christmas Eve, we all look forward to the stuffed pork loin that she gets from Faicco's. Whenever I come back to visit family, I stop in and make sure to stock up, particularly on the sausage rings (amazing grilled!), rice balls, potato croquettes and prosciutto balls. They also have some homemade entrees in the refrigerated case that are a great addition to a family meal or they have sizes large enough to feed a family. read more

Maybe I love this place because the smell reminds me of the Italian deli my father used to take me to. Or maybe it's because they have pictures of pigs donning bows and hats posted on the side of a freezer. Or maybe, just maybe it's because they have high-quality meats, cheeses and prepared dishes. Maybe it's all of these things. Only bummer is their hours aren't friendly to my work schedule - but it's worth waiting till Saturday to stock up on the goodies Faicco's offers. read more

One of only two places left in NYC that make their own cured meats for commercial sale. And boy are they delicious. Most things have already been said so I'll keep it simple: They are spotless, which you want a place that handles meat to be. When all the reviewers say this, they are not kidding. Best sausage ever (links or wheel, doesn't matter). You can tell by how it sizzles on the grill, yet doesn't start a grease fire. Their butchered meats are amazing, and they have all the ingredients you need for a proper Sunday sauce/gravy. Don't forget to check their little fridge/freezer in the back for goodies like ice cream, spumoni, tartufo, etc. read more

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. read more

THESE GUYS KNOW MEAT. Seriously, everything in here is delicous and fresh. The cold cuts, the mozzarella, the sausage, the riceballs...everything is amazing. I've been their 30 minutes before closing and they're still bringing out freshly ground beef. They give every customer their full attention, no matter how crowded it is or how close to closing time it is. The best place for meat, hands down. read more

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!! read more

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! read more

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. read more

This is one of the few times where I agree with most of the review... I don't know where to start, the meats, cheeses. antipasto, cold cuts, the service, the great smells! ENOUGH READING, JUST GO HERE AND ENJOY!!!! read more

You are not going to find a better Pork Store in Brooklyn. The sausage is the best. Personally I love the plain with fennel and the HOT which are sooooo hot. If you are having a BBQ, people will die for the broccoli-rabe sausage and the sausage ring is always a big hit. The veal cutlets melt in your mouth, don't pass them up. FYI, this place is immaculate. What other pork store do you know of that actually has giant plate glass windows allowing the public to look in a see them making the sausage? The only problem with Fiacco's is once you bring the food from there to your friends and family outside New York they will always tell you to bring the sausage... read more

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

Got some veal special butchered for Easter this year. Great cut of meat, pounded thin just like we like! Can't get that anywhere else anymore. PLUS: the store is INCREDIBLY clean, neat and organized and all the meat is extremely appealing. They make you want to buy the entire store! The guys who work here are so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about their products. read more

Delicious Italian butcher. Smells amazing, incredibly clean, huge selection. The homemade sausages are all top notch. I make it a point to pick up at least 3LB's of various links to take away with me. My favorite of the sausages is the Broccoli Rabe. They also have great chicken breasts which they'll pound out till you can see through them. It makes ordering a pound of chicken last just a bit longer, as I get a bit more filled off the increased surface area of the chicken. Rice balls are great, though I always seem to eat all of them that I order on the walk home. They're extremely creamy (yet still with discernible rice grains), cheesy, and have a prosciutto center that adds a delicious flavor. I understand there's a Manhattan location, and they make sandwiches there. I've never seen anyone get one at this location. I wish they offered them here... Prices here are comparable to a Manhattan butcher, dont expect to be getting a bargain here. read more

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. read more

Faicco's Pork Store - No one does it better. - Meat Shops Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have been shopping here for years!!! It's clean, its organized and the guys working there are amazing. They work quickly and get you in and out as fast as they can (i go on the weekends and its packed!!!). The sausage is incredible as is the fresh mozz, rice balls, proscuitto balls, etc. I even pick up the homemade meals like eggplant parm or chicken francaise for the nights i dont feel like cooking and they are so so good! But i have to say, their lard bread is hands down the best friggin thing i have ever eaten! I do have to add that i noticed they are listed as "pricey" above. I dont think they are pricey by any means. Do i spend a bunch when i go there (between $60 and $70 per visit)? Yup. But its because i buy a TON of stuff :) read more

Nothing like it in the world. The freshest products, you can put a blindfold on & point to what you're going to get, and still eat something delicious. Tip: proscuitto balls & bagels are a must, also their fresh mozz. Is beyond good. 5/5 stars read more

Delicious meats and a store so clean you could eat off the floor. They have a great selection and good prices. Look int to window next door to see salamis being made. Be sure to get a couple of plain, broccoli, or prosciutto rice balls to pop in your mouth. read more

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. read more

Highest quality Italian meats and products. Best sausages, ground meats, bracioles, steaks, ribs, you get the idea. Prepared foods are very good as well. I've gotten them many times. Eggplant parm, chicken parm, lasagna, and others, all very good. read more

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! read more

Faicco's..... oh what can I say??? It's heaven!! Great food, clean shop, friendly service. They pay attention to customers and everything is prepared with love & care. They have a large selection of fresh sausages, meats, homemade mozzarella, prepared meal, pasta sauce, imported food from Italy...etc. It's just perfect. DO NOT MISS their Italian Special Sandwich and rice balls!! The sandwich is packed with capicola, soppressata, prosciutto, and mozzarella plus your choice of sauces & vegetables. The prosciutto rice balls are super creamy. Don't forget to ask them to heat the rice balls if you want to eat them right away. Also, check out their beverage section where you can find Italian citrus/lemonade drink and (the one & only!!) Manhattan special espresso coffee soda. It's all great stuff!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Let's start with the basics. This is a family business handed down through the generations. They were raised as children behind the scenes learning to first clean everything, leaving it like it was new. So first off you will see with your eyes how immaculate this store is. They make the sausages mozzarella and other items before your eyes in a glass enclosed kitchen for you to see. As you enter the main store from the outside you will see the sparkle of the clean glass and maintenance to everything including the building to the standards the Faico family was raised with. For me this is the first I look for when making a selection. If it was a resturant I went to for the first time I would first visit the rest rooms BEFORE I would invite my family in. Sorry however 'A greasy spoon environment does not suggest good food to me' Now let's talk about the meat! If you ever had the privilege of visiting up stairs you would see the 'drying rooms' with the sausages hanging from stainless steel racks curing till perfection ready to sell to his customers who have been coming for generations! It doesn't matter what it is they sell, before it goes out to the customers the Fiacco brothers Louie and Matthew have seen it meets thier standards. Both brothers still behind the counters serving you as they have their whole lives under the family s hand. The cheeses are amazing, hero sandwiches with the finest prosciutto ham Genoa salami mortadella homemade roasted peppers vinegar egg plants olives veal Parmesan chicken Parmesan prosciutto rice balls I can I go on forever. Must I not mention their prosciutto bagel which in itself is absolutely amazing. Although I travel 750 miles to visit Brooklyn this is always one stop I never miss read more

Faicco is the best pork store in Brooklyn. growing up in the neighborhood there was not a Saturday we didn't go their for the cold cuts, mozzarella and anything we could eat. My family not have a holiday without Faicco's , My orders do not come to less than $250. they all live in SI and I'm still in Brooklyn,therefore,I place my order and pick it up. Have been doing this for years. all their sausage is the best. it is so clean and the guys in there are so polite and always helpful.I also like the fact that you are able to see where they make the sausage. Its just the best place. .. read more

This is a great old-school italian deli in New York. It's a meat market with a sandwich shop in the back. I love that. Okay, i'll keep this short. If you want really good Italian sausage, come to this pork store. This place was really amazing. I ordered one for the road and brought some meat home to cook with. While they were being made, i checked out the black and white pictures on the wall from when it was first opened and i chatted to the staff. The staff were very friendly and made some good recommendations. I had the Italian sandwich and the pesto chicken parm. Both were so delicious and cooked to perfection. Trust me, Faicco is more of a butcher shop with a small deli counter. Everything they make is just good. I don't get there as often as i would like, but they have the best cuts of meat for an italian meal. The lines can be long, especially before a holiday but it is so worth it. I will definitely be back to try out their sandwiches and pick up some amazing deli meats. read more
