User Reviews for Ottomanelli's Meat Market

4 Star Rating: Recommended

I just got off the phone with a friend who highly recommended Ottomanelli's and I looked them up. I was surprised to read the nasty review by cafecritic. But then, why should I listen to someone who washes their meat!!!! I am from Europe, and that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read!!! I'll go and give Ottomanelli a try very soon... Just because I trust my friend, I'll give the "recommended" 4-stars for now.

I have been going to Ottomanelli's for over 40 years. I find cafecritic's review biased and spiteful. He definitely has some sort of ax to grind and Ottomanelli's is the target. Believe me, they are knowledgeable and friendly butchers. They know their stuff and are more than willing to help any way they can. They haven't been in business all these years being nasty or selling inferior products!

I asked a few question before purchasing some aged beef steaks and one person in particular behind the counter became quite nasty and did not want to answer any questions. As far as the beef goes I have had many dry aged prime steaks from locations across the nation, but the foul smell from this meat as I was washing it indicated something wrong with the aging process, I never returned again.

Want a butcher who really knows what he's talking about and is more than happy to offer advice? Want the best cuts of meat in the city, plus game in season and other exotic specialties? Want a real New York experience at a fair price? Yes? Then Ottomanelli's is your meat market. Forget those overpriced yuppie marts, where the kid behind the meat counter got moved over from produce that morning and the meat is selected for its photogenic qualities. Ottomanelli's is the real deal.

Cons: closed sundays
