Meatball mix is amazing. Pan sausage (spicy) is a treat for our Christmas morning breakfast. Great regional pantry like Joe's tomato sauce from Utica. This is a must go to place for real Italian groceries and meat. read more

There's not enough reviews of this place and it's a damn shame. A real hidden gem, right off of Milton Ave. It's very easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. With all that said, I finally made my way in. It's small, but mighty. There is a large meat selection and all the sausages looked delicious. They are known for their meatballs, which you can get fresh or frozen, so I grabbed myself a dozen fresh ones. I couldn't wait to make them. I opted to bake them and then put them in my sauce while it cooked for additional flavor, but you can also fry them. They were absolutely delicious. Go grab yourself a dozen, you will not be disappointed. read more

I'm a massive fan of Ascioti's. Their meatballs are something else but their meat counter is even better. Today was a frenzy of Pre-Holiday shoppers getting what they needed for their pending celebrations... and I was one of them. Excellent service today. Even though they were slammed with customers queued in line from the counter to the door they took the extra time to pull out a rib roast and cut me 5 steaks as they were down to two within the meat counter. They did this without any hesitation. EXCELLENT service. Even though the check out line mirrored the queue at the meat counter, the cashier never got frustrated, greeted each customer with a cheerful smile and expedited the process. I really appreciate the service and this is why I will be a continuing Ascioti's customer. read more

Excellent meats and service. They even help with cooking instructions. Willing to cut any meat to order.

We have been buying the meatball mix for years. You can't go wrong. Fried or baked, they make your dish a huge hit. Just enough spices, garlic etc to make them yummy. I have bought the "skinny steak" for Philly steak sandwiches and it's quality beef. Have tried steaks and also the bread and rolls they have available. Think it's DeLauros Stop and see the guys who are also very helpful when selecting something new to you such as the sausages. Quality lunch meat is also available read more

A Solvay mainstay for over 100 years since Antonio and Catherine Ascioti first opened its doors for business in 1914, Ascioti's Market offered fine cuts of meat, Italian Sausage, authentic Italian cheeses, imported dried pasta and world famous meatball mix. The original Ascioti's announced in December 2016, it would not reopen. It had been closed since the death in October of owner Philomena Ascioti. One of her nephews, Marc Ascioti, decided to open a separate store, in the plaza that is just west of the Interstate 690 exit. He worked many years in the original market, and making the meatball mix and sausage were among his duties. I was first introduced to Ascioti's through my wife when we first started dating. I'd seen the shop many times over the years while driving through Solvay, but never stopped in. She told me about their famous meatball mix. Now, I love me some meatballs. And I can tell you that aside from my grandmother's homemade meatballs, their mix makes the best tasting ones I've ever had. Blend of meats, perfectly spiced, absolutely nothing needs to be added to it. Take it home, roll 'em, and cook 'em. Since then, I'd gone into Asciotis many times for other stuff as well. You'd walk in and were almost transported back to a simpler time, seeing as there aren't many butcher shops around anymore. While the new location has made many modern improvements, including a more modern shop, a much better parking lot, and finally accepting credit cards, it still boasts a huge meat case full of various cuts of beef, pork, veal, chicken and more, as well as special cuts for braciole, meatloaf, meatballs, and sausage. They also have some great pre made meals, and different pre packaged products from bigger brands that aren't seen in grocery stores. A wall of shelves full of Italian brand pastas and sauces, canned and jarred vegetables, and even breads. Their employees are always friendly and accommodating. Some of the stuff can be a tad pricey, but the quality is worth it. I loved the original Asciotis, and M.Asciotis will continue their legacy. Support local, small business! read more

See all

Sadly we had some of the toughest steaks we ever had. Went back to tell them and didn't get much of a response. This was shortly after they moved from Solvay, but have never been back. read more

I have been a loyal customer for many years. the meatball mix and house made sausage is amazing! 5 stars across the board!!

My husband heard about this establishment on the radio and told me about their meatball mix. Since I can never get my mom's recipe right no matter how hard I try, I told him to stop to get some and we could try it. Boy, am I ever glad he did! Their meatball mix is delicious! Just by opening the package, you can tell that those meatballs were going to be very tasty......and I was right! Just the right amount of seasoning is there to bring out the flavor and the meatballs were moist and delicious. And, to my surprise, they also carry gluten-free meatball mix in the frozen section of their freezer so my daughter also got to enjoy their delicious meatballs also. I can't wait to go there and check out what else I can buy! This will definitely be my go-to place from now on for my meatballs! read more

Great people and service. Ordered a box of meat picked it up and everyone was so friendly it was a true enjoyment to shop there!
