Ottomanelli & Sons Meat Market

LOVE love these guys. I come here every week. They've been in business for a long time and are honestly just the nicest people. They have everything you need, way better prices than the fancy grocery stores of the village, and are really nice and friendly

Best rib eye, pork, and best hot sausages in the area (I've tested all of them)

No better butcher in town !!!  .
All Hail Jerry, Frank and Joe !!! Ottomanellis brothers        R O C K!!!!!

I was a customer for decades but the smell turned me off. They need to replace their indoor/outdoor carpets that stink of decades of meat juices, and sterilize the floors. The guys have gotten more cranky over the years also. Wish I could go back as I prefer to patronize local businesses. Florence has maintained!

Placed my order last night, it was ready when I got there. Just looking in the cases I wanted to buy more. But I'd have to cook it all. Great place for the best cuts of meat. The butchers are definitely on top of their game and make you feel welcome.  I'm going to go there every week for my meat. The jamon reminded me of Spain . Delicious

I miss the days of butchers and bakers. I miss when people really honed their crafts and knew every aspect of it, because this was their life and this is what they chose to make a living out of. So when I went on Yelp looking for a quality butcher and found Ottomanelli I was ecstatic. Let's go over the most important parts.

First, their meat is very high quality. Though I do wish the sausages had a little more fat, they're lean and delicious. The steak is amazing as well. I truly felt that behind the counter they had my best interest at heart when choosing which cuts  we'd purchase.

Second, the pricing. This is NYC, the dollar menu is two dollars. However, Ottomanelli is fairly inexpensive! A month ago I paid $5/pound for the sausages. That's cheaper than Trader Joe's or Whole Foods!

Third, they're clean. There is nothing more stomach churning in the than walking into a butcher and getting hit with a nasty, rank smell and sticky floors. They were very well kept, very organized, and very friendly, too.

Definitely a great spot!

This place has withstood the test of time for a reason. They've been on Bleecker street for 250 years now, selling some of the best meats in the city.   I get my thanksgiving turkey here every year, they're known for their selection of wild game as well.  

Go to spot for: steak, rack of lamb, sausage ground beef, foie gras, ostrich, venison, elk etc.

The brothers who run the store are neighborhood legends and they've served quality meat since they were born.

Don't play yourself stock up for your summer barbecues and home cooked feasts here.

After trying out a bunch of newer, "hipper" butchers, I've defaulted to Ottomanelli as still the best of the bunch. It's not just that the meat is very high quality and the prices are reasonable. It's also that the service is top notch and they will butcher the meat the way I need it every time.

You want to buy your meat and chicken here. They are so friendly and kind and go out of their way to help.  Even if you come in for a small basic order,  like I did today, they'll be great to you.

There's a credit card minimum so bring cash if your order is tiny, but they take American Express on orders $10 and up. Support a long running local business and you'll be glad you did,

I love this family, a slice (not pizza) of the best of what NYC / NY has to offer. I have been coming here for 25 years and had no idea the have been bringing /donating meat to the Bowery kitchen the whole time, and longer, every Saturday morning. This tradition started by the father has been going on since the old store so ~ 40+years. Amazing folks, and best meat and pricing in the City to boot.

I had wanted to visit Ottomanelli's as soon as I got to New York, because I really liked the idea of having a local butcher that I could have to myself. Sadly, there isn't really one like this one where I live, so I figured making the trip to this place might be worth it.

The store itself is actually pretty nice for a butcher shop. A lot of low key butcheries have terrible lighting that just kind of accentuate the horror that you're standing in a room with dead animal flesh laying all around you, or that some insane person with a giant meat clever is standing right behind you- so I appreciate that.

They actually have some refrigerated items that they've packed away, ready to be consumed, so I guess that was nice. As for the meats, they mainly do sausages and steaks. As such, I bought some steaks and and sausages. I honestly felt though that the sausages and the steak that I bought wasn't anything special. The prices weren't really low enough to draw me to come back here, and the meat wasn't especially good, so I don't think I'll be coming back here for the meat. I suppose this is why local butchers are dying out? Honestly nothing special.

They do take card here, FYI
