Dellapietras is a true neighborhood establishment run by some of the most humble, welcoming and artisans of food in the business. If you live in Cobble Hill or are in the area, this is a must go-to stop on your route to wherever you may be going. We go there at least once a week to stock up. Their selection is top notch. Their prepared foods are absolutely delicious (we love the rotisserie chicken w/ Brussels OR the buffalo chicken wings during football season). And they will go above and beyond to provide impeccable service. They even treated my wife and I to a dinner on the house after our new born arrived - who does that anymore??? These guys are the best and true Brooklyn masters of meat! And if you're going for a sandwich, make sure you see if Earnie's there. He will hook it up. Thanks guys! Keep up the amazing work. read more

Amazing service and products. Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff; I would recommend Dellapietras to everyone.

The highest quality meat you'll probably ever hold if you're not a chef. Excellent recommendation and authentically friendly service. Personalized cooking instructions written on the label. This isn't a cheap butcher but the flavor of their meat is so rich. If you're wondering what the standard for a butcher is, visit Dellapietras. read more

So yeah, I don't usually post on yelp or review sites in general, but this place is so great that I even signed up just to review it. If I had to, for some life threatening reason, describe DellaPietra's product in one word, it would be "Glorious." If by chance I was given a few moments to talk about it, I'd most likely say this: The beef at DellaPietra's is what real beef is. Other "steaks" cower and wither before the awesome dry-aged wrath of these cows which must have been raised in God's own pasture eating some dank grass. It's gamey, it's earthy, it's an atomic umami bomb that melts in your mouth like no other meat has before. It's mad expensive, but yo, that's the real cost of real beef, and this is the realest beef you will ever get. Even if you were to raise a cow as lovingly as possible, you still wouldn't be even near the quality of this steak. It's in the level of care and skill found throughout all the different stages of this steak's existence, from the unearthly blissful cows to the masterful industrial-chic butchers, that make it the best piece of dead animal flesh I have ever consumed. read more

Dellapietras - THE GLORY - Butcher Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I wanted a rack of pork (pork roast) for Thanksgiving to make a change from a turkey. On the Monday I couldn't find any butcher in the Cobble Hill area that even had this cut of meat. Fortunately DellaPietra's did and what a great piece of meat it was. Absolutely top class pork. And the butchers cooking advice was spot on. I shall be going back for the next big dinner occasion. read more

Superb service and only the highest quality meat. It is expensive but you get what you pay for and the guys working there don't just know about the meat but really care about it too so will happily discuss how to prepare and cook what you are buying. They will also make suggestions if you are undecided. As well as the high quality produce, they also make their own kebabs, patties and sausages in addition to the deli bar, all of which have been consistently delicious. I ordered a goose and stock from them at Christmas time and will be doing so for years to come! read more

I'm lucky enough to live close by to Dellapietra. I still frequent Paisanos for other cuts but when I want a truly great steak, I know to come here. Take their advice, let them guide you with your purchase and cook the cuts exactly how they tell you. Exactly. Be ready to spend at least $60-75 for two people but it will be well worth it. Love this place! It's so nice to have these guys in the neighborhood. read more

This Butcher shop was such an awesome experience. Jose was so helpful in picking out what meats to buy that would impress my guest. We went with a flank stake and a porterhouse. Simply AMAZING! He was so helpful to write down the time on how long to cook each stake on both sides and gave me some good tips on how to keep the stakes stored for longer lasting freshness :) My new neighborhood butcher shop. Oh and if you live in the area he told me that they have free delivery! can't beat that. Thanks Dellapietras and a shout out to Jose! read more

I have only tried the bacon a few times, but I must say it is amazing. They are real nice inside and seem to take great pride in their food. Super pricey ($15 a pound for bacon). Not too much selection, but totally worth it. I took off 1 star because I didn't notice hand washing or gloves after using the cash register. I hope they fix that as I would like to make this a weekly stop. read more

I'm very happy to have discovered this place. My old butcher (who had become a good friend) has gone out of business. It's been no easy task finding similar high quality and service. Delapietra's is expensive, but not unreasonably so. I know the wholesale cost of prime and heritage meats, and the rents in Brooklyn ... the only choices are charge a lot, or go out of business (see above). I found them while looking for someone who would dry age a big piece of prime chuck. My plan was to cut into steaks, cook sous-vide for two days, and serve at a dinner party in the middle of the woods. I couldn't find anyone else who would age this cut for me. Rob Delapietra did it enthusiastically. He offered a lot of advice about which section of the chuck, had me watch while he cut it, and said he'd monitor the progress and keep me updated. And he gave me a great deal for ordering so much at once. The location isn't particularly convenient for me, but I'll be back whenever I need something special. read more

Best Italian hero. This is a thick sandwich with quality meats and the right, complementary toppings. Every time I read a review about how big a sandwich was that they had to share it or save the rest for dinner, I finish it in one sitting and think, "Great, now what am I going to have for dinner." This sandwich is so big, finishing half in one sitting was a feat. This is how an Italian hero should be. read more

Came in because I wanted a delicious gourmet dinner without all the prep. I cooked the half marinated chicken exactly as the owner advised- it was beyond perfection, meat fell of the bone and perfectly herbed crispy skin. Also served a few meatballs (mindblowing), and a kale salad that I crisped up in the oven with the chicken for a bit. BOOM amazing restaurant quality meal with 1/2 hour prep and zero guess work. Ill be back soon. If you ever need to pretend you cook or are feeling too lazy- this is the place. read more

I never post Yelp reviews as i usually don't have much to say but i just had to for DellaPietras. I started going the day they opened and this is by far the best butcher in the tri-state area if not the East Coast. All of the cuts of meat are amazing, and Rob and his crew will tell you how to cook season, cook and cut the meat, they are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. The product is not cheap but you get what you pay for. The meat at DellaPietras is better than anything you will find in any of the top steak houses in NYC or Brooklyn ! read more

Prepared food here is absolutely amazing. High quality meats! The service is always so great here as well.

This is my favorite place to get meat! The best cuts ever! I love the feel coming in here, such a good staff! I love a great steak and I am never disappointed when I come in. Rob always gives me the best advice on how to cook my steaks. They come out perfect! read more

I walked in yesterday for the first time, although I've passed it nearly every week since it opened. Wandering around, I stopped by the prepared foods case to examine its offerings, and was immediately asked how I could be helped by a lovely man. I said I was just looking, and he grinned and told me to take my time and let him know if I needed anything. After walking to the raw meat case, I was again engaged in conversation with another man. I settled on the bone-in ribeye, and when I couldn't figure out how much to buy, they both helped me. Long story short(er), I walked out with 2.5# of ribeye, a quart of kale salad, and then they threw in a lard bread for free. They told me how to cook it, entertained me with stories, and told me they deliver and gave me a card. They could not have been nicer than they were. Dinner was absolutely delicious, my husband was thrilled, and I'm addicted to the kale salad. While it's not cheap, having the perfect meal is worth paying for. And then my husband did all the dishes, including the cast iron pan. Clearly, he was thrilled, too. read more

This is the butcher that sets the standards on meat and service. That says it all. Beautiful meat, expertly handled. Best Italian hot sausage (and I grew up on the homemade stuff). I have moved out of Brooklyn but still go back. Nothing compares. read more

This shop never disappoints. Again, another ridiculous, impeccable meal, cooked to perfection as instructed by Dellapietra's. Thank you for making our Christmas Eve memorable! read more

Dellapietras - Butcher Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My favorite piece of beef is the skirt steak and as we were greeted by the 2 "incredibly Brooklyn" butchers at the counter, they were ready to shower us with information on every single product within this location. That alone made me want to spend my hard earned greenbacks. I find that the absolute best services in the world have learned from the lessons of NYC quality of service & this butcher shop is on the front-line. My lady who was immediately ready to buy everything listened to what she "needed" and we spent a good amount for some incredibly delicious pork chops, skirt steaks & peppered bacon. Everything was incredibly delicious. They were incredibly resourceful when it came to cooking the items purchased to our specific needs. I have to say that i will be stopping by again shortly, maybe after work today... Oh and they were nice enough to throw in some delicious bread. I'm going back later for sure. read more

Dellapietras is more expensive than your supermarket meat but you're not just paying for a product, you're paying for expertise. The guys behind the counter (and yes, they're all men) know their dead animal parts and how to cook them. They can advise you on cuts, quantities, cooking times, and portions. They offer tips as to marinades and seasonings. Best of all, they do the basics for you. You want lamb? You want it bone in or out? Out? they separate the meat for for you. In? They trim the fat - but not all the fat. Want it cubed? They start carving. I've never tried their cooked food, but the stuff they sell looks great. I've also never gone for their grains, pastas, or oils. But I don't really have any questions about rice, penne, or EVOO. I have a lot of questions about animal protein, and these guys have answers. read more

Who needs to go Peter Luger's or any steakhouse, I will make a trip from Flushing, Queens when I'm in the mood for protein. They trim the meat before it is weighed which is nice. Quality over quantity, Friendly place. read more

I love a local butcher shop, especially one that has people who know their stuff! And one that carries high quality meat. I don't go often, it is not the cheapest place to get your meat, but when it is an occasion or you are looking for a good meal, this is the place to come. One of my goto things to buy is the London Broil Flank Steak. It is like a flank steak but better. You can't go wrong with this cut. It marinates well and is so flavorful and juicy. Since it is the holiday season I also bout a Prime Rib Roast for 2. As he was cutting it, you could see the marbleization of the meat. I can't wait to make it tonight. The other great thing about this place is that they will tell you how to cook the cuts you buy. How long, etc. I basically know how to cook beef, but they make it so easy that you can't go wrong! read more

We came across them at the Atlantic antic fair. They were selling some fried balls and cheeses etc. We asked if it has meat, the server says no. As soon as we break a piece off, there was something that resembles meat. We went back again and asked if there is meat, the server said no and when we showed it to them, they just callously brush off saying 'it might have got in there by mistake'. So much for customer service! Not even an apology, forget about returning our money. Looks like they make those rice balls from leftovers of other plates. read more

It takes a lot of chutzpah to open a butcher shop close to Los Paisanos, which I rank as the city's best. And considering the proximity to venerable Staubitz, a double dose. Dellapietra's survives and thrives because of superb quality meat. On my most recent visit I went with a bone-in rib eye for two that ran about $65 (and not a giant tomahawk, just a thick rib steak). Three small rib veal chops were about $85, as they ran $36.00 a pound. To relieve the sting, the counterman comped me to a package of coffee cake. It was quite good. Eating the meats eased the sting a little more. The veal chops were especially flavorful, pounded slightly and plainly grilled. The rib steak was everything this cut should be, fatty flavorful, and tender. Some reviewers say it's cheaper than Lobel's. I haven't frequented that establishment recently enough to say, but your wallet takes a hit here. read more

Amazing shop. The most beautiful freshest meats. Incredible prepared food array. I needed a lamb shank bone for the holiday and the boss graciously cut one up for me on the house. Go! read more

Dellapietras was ALWAYS my weekday go-to and now they're my savior! They are still placing day-of delivery orders during this insane time, and I don't know how they do it! All of their products are incredible and the service is BEYOND friendly, efficient and helpful. I just spoke with Jose, and he was fielding multiple calls as he was so kindly taking my order. These guys are the best! An absolute neighborhood treasure. Thank you guys so much! read more

This is really a special place to enjoy probably the best sandwich in Brooklyn. Richard, the sandwich artist takes his job seriously, and crafts something that takes skill and patience to create. Every time rich makes us one of his creations, he surprises us with suggestions and variations on their standard sandwiches that really push them to the next level of sandwitchdom! We have a working theory that he doesn't work on Thursday's, but he was there on a Thursday once, so we aren't sure which days he takes off. read more

Dellapietras - Butcher Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

They have a beautiful selection of meats and the service is fantastic. You can come in and talk with the butchers about what you like to eat and cooking experience. The butchers will make suggestions as to what to get and how to cook it. I've had a skirt steak suggested as a lower cost steak and it was delicious. I have also had the osso buco and the butcher tied it up nicely so it would cook evenly and made a suggestion for how to cook it. Everything has turned out amazing since we started with high quality meats. Sure the meats are expensive, but that's what to expect from a high quality full service butcher shop. I will come back when I want a high quality piece of meat! read more

The best brisket sandwich in the area unbelievably. The seasoned steaks are also awesome

TURKEY BREAST ROLL Cooked the rolled turkey breast this year and last. Deliciously herbed made the meat moist and tasty. Easy to cook. One to two hours depending on size. Bought their gravy, added drippings and voila, everyone's favorite! Everyone in the store was attentive and helpful. I've had their prepared food which is wonderful. Great to have them in the nabe. read more

Amazing selection of steaks. Jose was gracious enough to introduce us to the dry aged strip, which was immaculate. Go to place in the neighborhood, or anywhere in the city! read more

I live in middle village queens but go to Dellapietra for my meat. Anything you buy is quality and exceptional. I have tried every cut of meat from here and all i can say if you love dry aged , prime, organic locally harvested meat this is the place for you. If you just like meat Dellapietras will turn you into a meat lover. read more

Della Pietra's is simply the best butcher in the area. My first visit was when they just opened. I asked what was something good for two people - they recommended their London broil. I won't lie, when I walked out I thought "that was the most expensive london broil I have ever bought". As I walked home I said to my wife "we probably won't be going back because of the cost" - that was before we ate it. I prepared it and we enjoyed every last bite. So much so that we have it almost once a week. I hesitate to say how great that piece of meat is because now I worry it will perpetually be sold out. But it was worth every penny. For New Years I bought some Short Ribs. Now this is what makes DP's great, they trim the meat before they weigh it. So what you are buying is all edible. They take such pride in what they do that it shows in their service and their products. Oh and the Short Ribs... I don't have the words for how good they were in the Ragu I made that night. Don't get me started on their bacon. Ask for it thick cut. I have been a long time customer of Los Paisanos on Smith which I would gladly give 4 stars but I am now a loyal customer of Dell Pietras. Both places are great but DP's simply stands above all the rest. Well deserving of the fifth star. This week: London Broil, Short Ribs, Pork Shoulder, oh and a roasted chicken that they prepared - it was delicious. DP's, great meat and equally great service. read more

100 Point Wine Dinner - Had the wine, needed meat to compete. Up from Baltimore walking down Atlantic Ave. Dellapietras, found the meat. Love at first sight. Sometimes you just know it's right. THESE ARE THE BEST STEAKS EVER! Big Green Egg. Lump charcoal. Turned often. Seared. Juicy, rare. Amazing. Kudos to Jose, Professor of Aged Beef (all the guys are knowledgeable, helpful and patient). He gave me on incredible education. The steaks (bone in single rib ribeyes) were professionally and, dare I say, lovingly cut and prepared. This guy knows his stuff! They also have excellent carryout and fresh mozzarella thanks to Alex, their chef. I think I've made my point so I'll stop. You gotta try this place. Promise me. By the way Yelp doesn't have enough stars. See photos read more

I'd become a regular here but today that changed. i asked for four tenderloin steaks 1.5" thick. was given four 1.75 - 2" thick steaks and told that's the way they r "supposed to be, 8 ounces each." I like my fillet mignon/tenderloin steaks 1.5" thick and with the $39'ish price tag per pound, recon i should be able to get what i ask for not given what they'd prefer to sell me. if can only buy a full centre cut piece of meat and not buy per steak - please just say so. Don't just cut the full piece into four steaks that are much thicker than i asked for and tell me "that's the way they are supposed to be." Back to Fleishers I go where they measure the steak and cut it to exactly what I want, they never worry if there might be only an inch thick steak left of the full piece they cut from and their centre cut tenderloin is $33.99/pound. Pity. I like their meat. being hustled? not so much. read more

An Old School butcher shop remade by a very experienced personable and professional staff. The staff's knowledge extends to recommendations for varied methods of preparation. Prime quality & $ are satisfactorily on par. The quality and sources of their products are excellent and those that they produce in-house such as their sausages are so outstanding that even a detour from 3 neighborhoods a way is worth it. Enrique read more

This place seems kind of like a boys club - funny I feel like every time I go I've seen only male customers in here - so I get why sometimes the vibes might seem a bit unfriendly. But in fact the butchers here are friendly and attentive, curious to know what you're making with the meat and willing to strike up conversations. A couple of days ago I went to purchase some pork belly and I asked for the meat to be cut in thin 1/4 inch strips. The slab was too large to effectively cut using the slicer so the butcher sliced a pound and a half of pork belly for me by hand! Thanks for the quality service! read more

The guys at Dellapietras know their meat... and it shows. They're just the right balance of old school meets new school. Everything they serve is of exceptional quality, their selection is top notch, and the service is beyond friendly, not to mention professional. I can't recommend this butcher shop enough. read more

An incredible store. It looks so elegant-yet-cool, and so clean. I loved the renovations they just did. The prepared food is always phenomenal, and I always know they'll have what I need. I was so surprised the first time I bought lamb and they prepared the little skewer-size bites for me as we chatted. My real favorite part? I always feel like a princess in there. All the boys have such nice ways. My other favorite part? My doggie is always welcomed, greeted, and gets a little meat ball treat! read more

More than the average neighborhood butcher, quality meats yes, great variety and cuts, delicious. Great place to also pick up some lunch, with offers of gourmet salads and sandwiches. Very knowledgeable friendly staff and shop owner. Highly recommend! read more
