Meat lover's paradise would be the best way to describe this small shop that I have been visiting…read morefor over 30 years. It was introduce to my dad through a coworker back in the 80's when he would bring goodies back from the shop on a regular basis. He then introduced it to me after I got my driver's license. After my dad retired, it became my job to stop by and pick up our favorite cuts of meat. Whenever I stop in, the gentleman who has served my dad would still ask, "How's Little Shanghai?", referring to my father lovingly. I guess that makes me "Baby Shanghai." Lol. Btw, he has no idea that my dad is 20+ his senior. He only realized when I told him my age. He also would know my order, the usual Paprika Bacon, Garlic Bacon, Meatloaf, Mini Frankfurters, and just a few pieces of their amazing Chicharron. Furthermore, I would often add on a few other items like Head Cheese, Kielbasa, Tarska Bacon, Black Forest Bacon, Smoked Pork Shoulder, Smoked Pig Feet, etc. There are just so many meaty goodies. If you are unfamiliar with Eastern European meats, just simply ask for a taste. They will gladly oblige. Prices are very reasonable. You can leave with a bag of meats for less than $30. I often leave with a large bag closer to $75-100 to enjoy for the next week. Whatever you do, just make sure you try this shop.

My buddy who lives in Ridgewood Queens invited over for a small bbq last night. Like I always say,…read moreI hate showing up to someone's house empty handed so I popped open Yelp on my phone and found this awesome meat shop. It's a bit hard to find as it's actually inside a larger grocery store... so once you walk into the entrance, head all the way to the back and to the right (not to be confused with the deli meat counter, go passed that). I got 2lbs of NY Strip steak and they were cut perfectly. I used a cast iron pan, put it on high heat and I let it get reallly hot as I prepped the steaks (while watching a youtube steak cooking tutorial at the same time... it's always helpful to have a reminder). I patted the steaks dry, added some grinded pink himalayan salt, pepper and garlic and seared them over some ghee butter for about 3 minutes on each side. I overdid them a little bit as I tried gettting fancy and covered it with another pan for about a minute. Next time I'll probably skip that step but all in all, it came out delicious! My friends were pretty impressed with my youtube cooking skills but there's always room for improvement. Oh and I forgot to mention the best part... their customer service! When I went to pay I realized I left my wallet at home and they were totally going to hold the steak for me for when I got back. Luckily, they also took apple pay so I was good to go, but I really appreciated that they didn't scoff or make it a big deal! I told my buddy who lives in the area all about them and he's excited to give them a try himself. While I wasn't a fan of the grocery store (it seemed like none of the customers there had an aisle manners), I can't blame them for that.

I was craving eggplant so i got it on a hero with fresh mozz and roasted peppers. It's a huge sandwich for $15 which is reasonable. The guy warmed it up which I wasn't expecting. It was delicious! The cheese was creamy and they are generous with filling the sandwich. The bread was good and not soggy like some places. I heard multiple people asking for broccoli rabe but they were sold out so that must be good. I will have to go back for other sandwiches and will check out the meats and pastas.

I walked through this whole place with someone else, giggling with glee. I saw meat bread (lard bread), I saw a deli counter with delicious cold cuts & ham nobody pronounces right, and homemade salads, and smiling friendly folks behind the counter, and fresh SMOKED mozzarella (motz), which I've been missing ever since I moved to Jersey. There was fresh meats, pasta, fish, and ring sausage, cannoli, and homemade sauces, and pre-cooked Italian dishes for the folks who wanna try it all, but not make it themselves. Plus bottled and canned items I remembered as a kid, and most straight from Italy. The whole place smelled like parmesan cheese, and felt warm. All that was missing was the sawdust on the floors. lol (yeah I'm old). I bought pasta, their sauce, smoked motz, and parmesan parsley sausage links and made a nice dinner for my friend, enough to pig out and store for another day. The meat bread was heavenly, and if they don't have it every time I enter that place, I swear I'll cry. Their homemade sauce was perfection, and the sausage??? FUGGIT ABOWD IT! I bow to you Iavarone. Go git whatever they selling, like NOW.

This store has an eclectic variety of shelf stable products, a Deli Dept. that has American, Italian, Polish cold cuts, and salads. The guys that slice the cold cuts are experts; each slice is evenly cut, and the way you asked. There is a separate meat market in the back, with an "Old-world" style butcher. Their produce section is amazing. It's the world wide selection of fresh produce, herbs, and vegetables that is truly amazing. Keep your Translator app open. Many of the cans & bottles are in the native language from the country where they are produced. The experience is akin to being in a market in another country. The staff somehow keeps the shelves and bins filled, actually know what they are handling, and they can answer a question. There's a navigator that keeps the check-out line moving. The prices on most items are very inexpensive, almost from 20 years ago and the quality is comparable to one of those upscale supermarkets.
