My daughter used to live in the Upper East Side and this was her neighborhood place to homemade salads, bolognase, prepared meats and sandwiches. When in the area it is an opportunity to stock up on their homemade bolognas, and salads. It is a very historic shop, and the family has been in business for decades. The Yorkville shop is small, but packed with fresh meats and prepared items. The service is down to earth and the entire experience is as good as the food.

My lovely bride and I stopped in for a sandwich on a Monday afternoon. We ordered the Italian combo sandwich for lunch and two muffins for Tuesday morning breakfast. The sandwich was stellar, with a generous proportion of Italian cold cuts and pesto on a freshly baked bun. I had the banana muffin and my bride had the lemon poppyseed. Delicious muffins in an old school butcher shop. Very reasonably priced, highly recommended.
Awesome, old school place. As the grandson of a butcher, I approve. Superior quality, superior service, superior selection. Been shopping here for years and will never go elsewhere.
Ottomanelli Bros. Is historic. My friend Gary told me that they have a really good bran muffin. The employee said they were sold out and if I wanted one I need to get there 7:30 am when they open! The muffins are huge and are only $2.50! I decided to try the Coffee Cinnamon for breakfast tomorrow. I may call them one day and ask them to hold a bran muffin for me. I'm determined to try it. The service was prompt and price is excellent.
A long-established butcher shop on the Upper East Side. I have heard that they have great sandwiches and prepared foods. They have a great selection of sandwiches and prepared foods. The butcher's meat sauce in particular is to die for! Today, I got a rigatoni bolognese. It was delicious! I'm determined to have Sarloin lasagna next week!
When I saw the name "Ottomanelli" on the awning, I just had to stop by. When it comes to meat, Ottomanelli means quality. There's a bunch of NYC Ottomanelli locations from the same family (who established themselves in the early 1900s), but they're all independently operated (far as I can tell), so it's a bit confusing. Here's what I've uncovered from the deep rabbithole I went down trying to map out the Ottomanelli businesses in NYC: My introduction to them was F. Ottomanelli in Sunnyside, Queens (which combined with S. Ottomanelli to create a joint butcher and burger place). They are cousins with the most famous O. Ottomanelli & Sons on Bleecker (who was in the news a few years back for some... bad things. Look it up). And then this shop on 82nd street is Ottomanelli Bros, aka Ottomanelli Butcher Shoppe is from the same family. Phew. That was a lot. All that research calls for some food. Luckily, in addition to some beautiful cuts of meat, Ottomanelli Bros also has some amazing lunch specials. I got their special of the day - a sirloin lasagna, which was just perfect. Also got some chicken liver mousse, which was delicious and probably a third of the cost it would be downtown. Plus they have a whole sandwich menu. The chicken salad is very good. Best of all, the prices are amazing for the quality you get. I wish I hadn't just gone grocery shopping before I went (and that I wasn't on a diet) because I would've stocked up on just about everything they had in the butcher section. Next time!
I love these old school businesses. When you walk in and see the sawdust on the floor you're stepping into history. With over 100 years here in Yorkville it's one of the last real butcher shops. Still family owned and operated. Quality meats, along with a variety of other items such as stews, pastas, soups, sauces, sausages, seasonings, spaghetti & meatballs, chicken cutlets, and sandwiches made to order. Anything I have brought home from the place has been delicious. Knowledgeable staff. Can be a bit more pricey than the local supermarkets, but you're buying from a real 100 year old butcher shop and supporting a long time local biz.
