This is a hole in the wall, and it is easy to miss. For some reason there is a bad rotten smell on some days.

It's a place similar to the one in my childhood. They take cash and credit cards. They often have neighborhood Italian American free newspapers available to read in the store/and or take home. I highly recommend this butcher. It is very well known in the North End.

I love this place. The meat is fresh, and while there's often a language barrier between me and…read morethe butcher, I always end up with what I need. Do yourself a favor and get yourself the sausage here-it's all meat and not a lot of fillers, and different varieties (chicken, pork) are $3.99 a pound. They have various meats marinating as well that I haven't tried. I have purchased beef ribs here and they were a fraction of the cost of what they would have been at a regular grocery store and no where as fresh. The butcher always seems to be the same gentleman whenever I go in and he's always very welcoming and smiling. The rest of the grocery area is great-it's really clean and well stocked and the products are well presented. If you like Coca Cola made with real sugar versus corn syrup, they sell it in glass bottles, as well as a large variety of other imported beverages and products. They have a small amount of produce, and it's all fresh and decent as well. The counter staff is really friendly as well. I whole heartedly endorse shopping here!

I have studied a little Braz Portuguese, and I can tell you a little goes a long way in winning his friendship. If you go in, try saying "bohm jee-ya" (mornings) or "boa tar-jay" (afternoon/early evening). Thank-you is oh-bree-gah-to (if you are a man) or oh-bree-gah-ta (if you are a woman). My Portuguese fell short in getting exactly what I wanted, but he was prepared: he called over the pretty cashier, who is fluent in English, and happy to help. The steak I bought was trimmed BEFORE weighing according to my specifications. It was excellent on the grill. And it wasn't all that expensive for a nice steak.

I called the phone number hoping they would be a message regarding if they are temporary closed or have moved to a new location but it just rang out.

I could've eaten it with a straw I ate it so quick! I had gone to the bakery next door first(also a great place) but the line was too long. So i tried this place. I'll be coming back again, that's for sure! Not only do they sell meats, & breakfast but also all kinds of Imported Irish groceries. Everything from milk & butter to tea & candy. The very friendly staff kept asking if I needed help, because I was waiting for take out-I probably appeared lost as my dog was outside & I kept going in & out checking on him.

We usually go on weekends to grab milk and eggs, but come back loaded with veggies, proteins, and whatever else we feel like. Stuffed clams are phenomenal, as are the steak tips, turkey tips, and veggies. Overall I wouldn't qualify it as cheap, but it is certainly inexpensive for what you get. (And personally I would always rather pay a little more to support the local guys)
