Stopped in at Turchettis while out on a motorcycle ride with the hubby. We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately but not rushed at all. Our server was incredibly friendly. We shared the Deviled Eggs with Whipped N'Duja and Rosino sandwich. The hubs had the Pseudo Sue Hazy IPA, and I had the Scorpius Morchella Double IPA. The food was so flavorful! I really loved the marbled rye bread on the sandwich. The beers were tasty too. I'll definitely be back! read more

I'm updating my review a month after my first visit, and adding a well-deserved fifth star. Let this be a lesson, kids: You gotta give some restaurants a second chance. I just finished making out with Turchetti's pulled pork sandwich, their smoked Turketti sandwich, and a big pile of tallow fries, and now we're all going steady. These sandwiches were the perfect size, I was able to eat them like normal (meaning not having to eat them in layers because they're too tall), and they were honestly the best sandwiches I've eaten in Indy. My husband, who shared half of each sandwich with me, also said that both sandwiches were the best thing he's eaten in Indianapolis, period. We were both in a Turchetti's-induced trance after eating. Amazing, amazing food comes out of the Turchetti's kitchen. The pulled pork sandwich is what most impressed me. It has zero sauce on it, but yet it's the juiciest, most flavorful pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. You know how pulled pork sandwiches are usually dry? And how you need to add sauce to them or else risk choking? Not this one. Turchetti's pulled pork doesn't need sauce, and in fact, sauce would ruin it. Sauce would overshadow the mustard seeds and other flavors that are going on. They literally have the most juicy pulled pork I've had. The sandwich comes with housemade pickles and red onions, which are the best accompaniments to this perfect sandwich. Anyway, I just thought I'd let you all know this information. I just got back from Turchetti's and had to update my review, because to let my original review -- with its four stars -- linger on Yelp any longer would be a disservice to Turchetti's. I think everyone else knew that Turchetti's deserved five stars, but I can be dumb sometimes, but I'm self-aware enough to know when I made a mistake, so I have that going for me. read more

Killing it with the customer service, Team Turchetti!! I seriously walked away thinking about how their warm welcome and customer service set the positive tone for the remainder of my day. It's amazing what a little friendliness and warmth can do for customer loyalty and the way people think of you beyond that one transaction. All that to say, way to go! We enjoyed perusing the shelves of fresh meats, pastas and cheeses while waiting for our turkey sandwiches with potato chips. You'll find a handful of cheeses, frozen and fresh sausages and meats to take home for preparations. If you're curious about the process, you can peak in the front window of their cafe next door to see the butchery taking place. Note that this side of the business is grab and go. The potato chips are made in house and very delicious. Our $13 turkey sandwich meal featured fresh shaved turkey, whole grain mustard, fig and one other ingredient (sorry, gang, I'm drawing a blank)- just know that it was delicious! They offer around six sandwiches daily and of those they also offer a vegetarian option. I can't wait to visit for their Friday/Saturday/Sunday brunches! read more

I Checked out Turchetti's for brunch. Oh boy, they have some pretty neat offerings ! I went with their Benedicts which were served over some red cabbage, pork tenderloin, and prosciutto. Yummy. Everything on the menu is ala-carte so if you want toast, bacon, or potatoes you have to specifically order them extra. (its a clever way of jacking up the price without you noticing until you get the bill). All in all my bill cleared $25 with tip for Eggs Benedict, potatoes and coffee. Was it good? You betcha! Was it better than your average greasy spoon! You betcha! Was it worth $25? Probably not - but most places with this kind of menu are in that same range. So you just have to deal with it and have a good time. Good service, funky hip-hop music playing, and good food left me pretty satisfied. I'll be back for lunch some time. read more

The BLT sandwich here is life! So incredibly delicious! They put crispy melt in your mouth bacon with fresh lettuce and a big juicy garden tomato. All sandwiched between crispy toast. Heaven! For me a BLT is all about the bacon, but when you nail the lettuce and tomato too, you've got me for life. Oh, and did I mention the ratio of mayo to sandwich is also on point. Great job on an a great sandwich! read more

Love this new spot! The restaurant part has friendly service (order at the counter), delicious burgers, and really good fries. The also have exceptional chocolate chip cookies. Yum! The butcher side is equally fantastic in its own right. You'll also find friendly service here. I stepped through to this side to find some spicy salami-type of treat for my fella. The gentleman working offered a sample to help me pick between two things which was very helpful. He also made a suggestion for an item I hadn't even noticed. My friend was able to get some smoked bones or something that's perfect for her puppy to gnaw on. So, there's something for everyone here! read more

Hey the jig is up, when is Turchettis going to get the recognition for one of the best burgers in the STATE. I mean what in the hell did I feast on when I ordered a double pattied onion smash burger I mean honestly one of the best burgers I've ever had. The jalapeño added to it, an excellent amount of crisp yet spice. Don't even get me started on the fries, I mean fresh cut golden crisp fries. This place is such a gem and I can't stress it enough from their fresh deli side, to their butcher counter, to their bar. One of the best spots in the city. Run, don't walk there, and spend way more than you meant to in the process. OH!!! The beef jerky to!! What in the hell was that wonderful beef jerky that didn't make it home because it got consumed in the truck. 10000/10 read more

Turchetti's Meat Market is one of our local favorites for grabbing something quick to grill out. And the monthly meat share option is the absolute best! Earlier this year we tried the meat share paid a bit extra to have our meat shrink wrapped so we could freeze some of it for later. The portions are very generous and allow you to try so many different items from the market. A few short months ago, we even carried out some beef tenderloin so we could cook my grandpa his favorite meal for his birthday. Thanks to the meat market we were able to share his favorite meal with him. Lately the market has been our go-to for groceries. Stocked with great items like take-n-bake meals, soups, produce and of course, meat. We were happy to be able to support local while snagging items that have been otherwise difficult to find at the grocery. The ordering and pickup process was super easy - ordering off of Mercato (an online ordering service) and selecting a pick up time to grab our groceries. Their staff shared the sweetest note with us, thanking us for our support and even threw in two extra oranges since they were out of orange juice. Thank you Turchetti's Fam for being here for us. read more

Turchettis Meat Market - Take and bake enchilada lasagna - Butcher Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

If you want to find the best butcher and deli in downtown Indy, you've found it. The service is always great -- I tend to use less meat in my cooking, so when I do include meat, I want to know that I'm getting a good quality product. I also appreciate that they give cooking and pairing recommendations, as any good butcher should. Let's talk about the sandwich offerings, though. You can order a lot of these (all?) on the other side too, but it's super nice to be able to grab them as I'm also picking up local butter, veggies, and of course, meat. The Rosino is to die for -- the bread soaks up the juices from the tomatoes and it's just excellent. Can't wait to try the rest of their offerings! read more

I come to Turchetti's butcher to get beef bones (and sometimes lamb) for making broth and stock. Their products are from a local farm that has grass feed animals. There's free parking at the back, but also accessible via the Red Line on Virginia Avenue! If you're in the area and want to make a night or day out of it, everything is walkable, shops, restaurants, theater, the Monon Trail. Turchetti's is right in Fountain Square, and only ten minutes away from Mass Ave. If you're dining in, get the hot chicken sandwich---you won't regret it!! They have dog treats and also baked goods from 4 Birds Bakery. Pro tip: the butcher has discounted days every Tuesday, 20% off the freezer section. read more

I know how good the food is at the deli side of the business, so I made a point of heading downtown to Fountain Square to pick something from the butcher shop that recently opened. There are a few street parking places (west bound) and I was able to grab one right in front! Inside, I was impressed at how clean the place looks. Display cases of packaged goods for those items you might want to store in your freezer were stocked. Displays of artisan chips and sauces/condiments were offering items to accessorize if you were going to get something to make your own sandwiches (they even had buns!) There were glass display counters for you to be able to see cuts of meat and sausage/cold cuts all below eye level so that you could easily converse with the friendly staff who were there to assist in filling your order. I also liked that they had some cooked samples of some of the sausages so that you could try before you buy. I ended up buying both the cheddar brats and the hot Italian sausage. Now understand that this is not some giant chain that can offer cheap cuts of meat at discounted prices. This place is all about quality cuts and assisting you to get the right meat for what you want to prepare. So, $10 a pound may scare off someone who wants to buy brats for a cookout (about 3-4 brats per pound). But if you are like me and don't mind firing up the grill for just a couple people, you can get high quality meats where they don't skimp on flavor. Unfortunately for me, I don't live anywhere close to this shop, but if I know I am in the area, I can pencil in making this stop last on my "to do's" and pick up something before heading home. It's that good. I hope that as the business grows, there will be a greater selection on display. I assume a butcher shop will work with customers who call ahead to get special cuts, but for now, you only see certain types of meats. Review #2765 read more

From farmer's markets to to a weekend lunch spot to two shops! George Turkette & Amanda DeVary working that hustle! Turchettis (TUR-KET-EES) Salumeria opened last year, a great cozy lunch spot in the heart of fountain square. Then just this week they opened up Turchetti's Salumeria Butcher Shop & Marketplace! So now they have twice the space and twice the goods. The left side will serve as a sitdown cozy restaurant with his famous sammies - salads - burger - drafts - wine - and yummy sides like deviled eggs. The right side will house a market of sorts with fresh local produce, goods, butcher shop, and grab n go sammies, lunchables, snacks... etc. So I wondered twice the space? Are they ready for this? George and his lovely fiancee Amanda started this scrumptious restaurant just a year ago piggybacking off their market and catering clientele - with skill and a lot of heart they put they're all into it and... O yes back to my question are they ready for this - DANG STRAIGHT THEY ARE! When you walk in your greeted with a friendly smile and allowed to peruse their goods. I headed straight for the counter - and before looking at the menu just went with the special. TWAIN TIP: (if your not picky) get the special - it's always scrumptious - fresh - and never there for long. This goes with any restaurant - if you want a true feel for the chef and why they love food - go with the special - that's they're whole heart on a plate. As they readied my order, every order is made fresh here, I shopped a little more. Circle Kombucha- yes, Batch no 2 Mustard - don't mind if I do, fresh local strawberries - UMMM HECK YAS - ooo actually we are almost out of eggs - and good golly molly - the SAUSAGES! Another tip - bring a bag your hands will be full before you know it! The new staff is still training - so please be patient - but they were pretty quick with the masterpiece. Yes MASTERPIECE is an accurate description... the 'After School Special' hardy Amelia's semolina bread topped with layers of thinly sliced salty tender house bologna ( hot salami cotto seasoned with oregano, chile flake, red wine), gooey American cheese, smokey roasted tomatoes, creamy mayo - and guys... SALT N VINEGAR POTATO CHIPS - on a FRICKIN SAMMIE. Lord get me a bib and some stretchy pants! If sammies aren't your thing they have delicious chopped salads as well. They're also showing some of my favorite other locals some love like Tulip Tree Creamery, Batch No. 2, Circle Kombucha, Native Bread, Amelia's, Redbud Farm and Caprini Creamery and sooooo many more. Stackin and packing local at Turchetti's Meat Market - a grab n go deli in fountain sqaure! @twainindy read more

Really glad I finally got down to Fountain Square to try this place out! Turchetti's is a meat-lover's paradise... my After School Special sandwich was a messy, delicious masterpiece of hot salami cotto, melty cheese and sun-dried tomato mayo. So flavorful! I'm a sucker for good crunchy kettle chips, and these were some of the best I've tasted lately. Dug the old-school R&B playlist on the day I visited as well. read more

Turchettis Meat Market - The After School Special Sandwich - Butcher Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Stopped in for a take out lunch. Cool little spot in Fountain Square with a small market and real deal butcher as a part of the deli. Got the lunch special of a full sandwich and side salad for $12. Tasty Turkey sandwich and the salad was small but delicious with a nice dressing. Also got deviled eggs and they had just a little spice to make them interesting. Definitely will return to try the pastrami. read more

We went here to pick up some deli meats for dinner, but the staff was not the most friendly because we did not know our order immediately and/or order online before coming. Because of this we looked at their website, saw they had pastrami and turkey as deli options. We went back to the walk-up window and ordered. However, the lady said that they do not have pastrami. Okay, so we looked on the website, found things to order and then they did not have it. So we pulled an audible and just got the turkey and some cheese. They were very condescending and rude to be honest. We got back and tried the turkey, but it was incredibly dry and not appetizing either. Overall, not a good experience. read more

SO IMPRESSED. We ordered all of our groceries for the week through Mercato.com (website that lets you order delivery or pick up from three of Indy's local markets: Turchetti's, Wildwood and Goose). We ordered several meats, vegetables, fruits, sauces and a delicious smashburger and fries from Turchetti's. It was similarly-priced to a normal grocery haul and we chose to pick it up curbside. When we arrived at Turchetti's, we called them and they came outside immediately with our order, properly labeled and divided by refrigerated items, produce and ready-to-eat meals. Their team is SO wonderful and professional. They were in high spirits and you can tip them at @Turchettis-Delicatessen Venmo (this is being written during quarantine time and they're using it to pay employees). There was even a handwritten thank you note in our bag which was such a sweet touch. Their meats are incredible and they're stocked with everything - get good food to cook while you're stuck at home! read more

There's restaurants & establishments you enjoy, and then there are those that you wish you could be friends with & learn from. The folks that work here are super-friendly & knowledgeable about their craft (whether that's the meat shop, waiters, or somm). The food vibe is Midwest comfort food, but done really well with high quality ingredients. They have done a fantastic job pivoting with the pandemic by shutting their doors, and allowing for pickup / delivery / grocery shopping. It's a remarkable amount of work that you have to give them a ton of credit for. The sad truth is that so many of the places we love won't be around whenever we get a competent response to the pandemic together. Places like Turchetti's make me believe that there's hope for the future, whatever it holds. Things to try: their take & bake offerings, ice cream sandwiches, one of the best smash burgers in the city, beef tallow fries (that may be occasionally too crispy & salted), definitely my favorite wings, and weirdly enough, the best shucked oysters I've had in town (though Strange Bird is close - and no, I don't know why the actual seafood places I've been to fall down so flat on their faces here). My only wish is that they had pie more consistently, but when they do, it's great. And a super fun brunch! read more

We are so thankful to have Turchetti's whole-animal butchery supporting our family's meat needs while we quarantine. The city ham makes for great sandwiches - or as a fried topping on an egg sandwich. We also loved the ground beef (large grind with big flecks of delicious fat) in our burgers. I like knowing that they buy animals from Indiana farmers - which keep much needed money in our state during these crazy times. Thank you! read more

Air there will a couple Italian beef sandwiches. Had heard so much good about this place as a deli, figured the sandwiches would be great. Pretty disappointed. Italian beef sandwiches should be sloppy, wet and heaped with meat and cheese. Reset expectations coming here. Couple pieces of beef, dry with almost no flavor. And to top it off, it was crazy expensive. Save some money, goto subway or mikes and get four avg sandwiches for the price of one.. read more

I was looking for a new butchers and found Turchetti's. You can order from them online to pick up or you can order in person and then pick it up at the time specified. When I went they were very busy preparing orders so I had a little bit of a wait time to pick up my order. However, this is because the great quality of their food makes them quite popular! I have loved the brats, ground beef and chicken that I have bought from them & will purchase from them again. read more

The sandwich was good, but not $13 good. The staff is friendly but there was a bit of a wait and I was the only one ordering at that time. They might want to consider some signage on what you can order at the counter, vs. what you can order on the other side/sit down area because there's a register there too. The shop is nice and clean and parking was fairly easy at 5:30 on a weeknight (Street only). I might not go back to sit down and eat, but would like to buy one of their stocks as they seem reasonable! read more

Man I hate writing reviews like this but I think I dined at an alternate location than every else. Wife and I stopped here to dine after I had this place in my bookmarks for a while. Both got sandwiches and a salad to go, was going to get something different but punked out and got the cuban cuz I'm a sucker for it, wife got the rosino. Presentation looked great, salad was good with pickled green beans adding a nice vinegary crunch, that however was the highlight. My cuban was pretty tasteless, a dipping sauce came with it that was ok but I was expecting a classic cuban and didn't get that. Wife's sandwich was more of the same unfortunately, just not much there tastewise, even with three different salami's. For $13 +- dollars per sandwich I expect more. People were great and service was good, I might try this place again in the future but for now I'm going to let it set at 2 stars. read more

I love that this business opened in the corner of fountain square. It's such a great place to go for fresh meat, some dairy, and some limited produce. I do wish there were more light meat/poultry and seafood options and their produce is a little more expensive than some of the comparable locally sourced produce in this part of town, but it's still very reasonable. read more

Turchetti's was awesome. We went on my lunch break, arrived around noon. It is pretty small but has a lot of 2 top tables and surprisingly many tables were open. I will say most these tables quickly filled up around 12:30 though. The food was so good! I had the turkey sandwich, which lasted me two lunches, with the chips which were the homestyle, the kind you know are fresh. My husband got Rosino, with chips also, his was good but mine was the show stopper. We ordered at the counter and the food came out promptly. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the price. 2 sandwhiches with 2 cans of diet cokes, netted us over $30 which seems a bit excessive for lunch with sandwiches, but it is about average for the area. Overall great spot and phenomenal food! read more

I. am. blown. Away! This place is just absolutely amazing. I was beyond happy dancing and was into the stage of silent appreciation while eating my sandwich. I got the Rosino and it was everything I had hoped for and more! The heirloom tomatoes hit the spot and were so fresh. The baguette was perfectly soft and still made a great base for all that meat. The meats were so flavorful! The pastrami sandwich is almost sinful. It has layer upon layer of dynamic flavor. The turkey sandwich was also delightful. The turkey was shaved to a perfectly desired thinness. Now, let's talk about the fries. These fries were perfectly salted and the most enjoyable texture. They weren't too crispy and were also just soft enough. I can't forget the service. They were so kind and took excellent care of us! We didn't want for anything the whole hour we were there! I can't give enough stars or recommend this place enough. Just get yourself there! read more

Great deli sandwich with perfect crispy fries. Got some Italian sausage from the attached butcher shop. Will be back soon

We've been to this meat market several times and I always appreciate their commitment to quality food and unusual options. This time I came to get some dehydrated liver treats for our dog. I appreciate that they butcher their own meats and then use all of the pieces for various things such as dog treats. Our dog has been loving having those as part of his diet, that saved me from having to mess with dehydrating my own! Which I was not looking forward to, so I'm thankful to have found A close spot which will do it. I also grabbed a vegan chickpea wrap for dinner which was absolutely delicious! It was fresh with the right amount of seasoning and not overpowering chickpea feel. I would definitely go by there again and grab some thing for lunch or dinner while perusing their menu. You can't go into the store right now so you order on the streets and they let you know when it's ready. You can also place an order and they will bring it out to your car if you choose. We will be back! read more

Top new place in Indy that just turned 1 year old! I can't say enough complimentary things - fantastic sandwiches (every single one is excellent) and brunch that is crazy good. With $3 Founders Solid Gold on draft complimented by other local brews, great cocktails, and the best bloody mary in city. Now we haven't even gotten to the service portion of the experience, but it is just as good as everything else listed above. I just wish it was open for lunch and dinner every day because it always has something on the menu that you would crave everyday. read more

Turchettis Meat Market - Founders Solid Gold - Butcher Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Overpriced cold smoked meat and dry aged meats that they try to pass as European cuts. It's sacrilegious to butcher an Indiana grown hog and pass it off as prosciutto. They buy free range turkeys that you could buy directly from the farm, and Jack up the prices by upward of 50%. read more

It might seem a little weird to review both sides, but taking home meat from here makes me look like a better cook. Having bought ham, turkey, bacon, chorizo amongst other things... It's all been top notch. Another upside is knowing where the food came from, and if you've ate on the other side knowing what love goes into it. More sugar for that medicine? George and each staff member has been more than friendly, inviting, and seem genuinely happy to help. Carry out sandwiches I've got are also incredibly ready and of the highest quality too.

Turchetti's had us at aged steak smash burgers. The tallow fries were perfect and have a great flaky salt on them.

"What local spots do I need to try?" Turchetti's is hands down always my first answer. Meat. Vegan options. Gluten free options. Booze. We are spoiled enough to be within walking distance and can vouch for everything from their locally sourced smash burgers, all of the brunch, banging charcuterie boards to their organic wine selections, and amazing owners and staff. You truly can't go wrong. If ethical, neighborhood butchers with a flair for unique offerings that will keep you coming back for more (Chef Josh's Desert Island Meal, anyone?) are your thing--(which I have questions if they aren't your thing) pay them a visit. It won't be your last. read more

If only I had more time to go to Fountain Square for an excellent sammie! I met my hubby at Turchetti's for lunch on a day off, we had grabbed some of their meats at the farmers market and were excited to try the brick and mortar. The interior is large and open, on the right is seating and left has a full bar and counter to order lunch. We grabbed a pastrami and a rosino. The food came out quickly (you are given a number and they bring your food to you once it's ready). Those sammies were FIRE. Could not get enough, seriously so good.
