If you thought that you might be able to get better quality meat at a "Meat Market," you'd be…read morewrong. They advertise their USDA Choice meats. Apparently, most people don't know that USDA Choice is the same as what is available at just about any supermarket. If you are looking for grass-fed beef or even organic beef, maybe you can find it but I didn't see any. The labeling also needs help. I wanted some salmon, but all their sign said was "salmon." No Coho, Atlantic, or Steelhead, just "salmon." No farm-raised or wild-caught, just "salmon". when I asked that pretty basic question the counterman said that he didn't know, and had to go to the back & ask someone whose response was "farm-raised from Chile". This place is good for one thing: If you are having a BBQ or a Super Bowl party and you want a quick & easy one-stop shop instead of running around a grocery store trying to find everything you need. It's relatively very small and You can find lots of beer, liquor, BBQ sauce, and even a bit of fresh produce & baked goods all within about a half dozen short aisles. Sadly, other than that, there isn't much reason to go there.

If you are familiar with the Des Moines metro the Graziano Bros name should be one you already know. Established in 1912 they are a fixture here when it comes to Italian sausage. The ordering process was smooth and the menu was displayed well. The wait wasn't long. I ordered the fried ravioli (beef filled) with marinara and an Italian Chop sandwich. The Italian Chop is almost exactly what it sounds like. It's served cold. Chopped mortadella, pepperoni, capicola, salami, provolone, tomato, onion, pepper rings, and lettuce. Tossed in a creamy Italian dressing. Served on a hoagie roll. The ravoli was served terrifyingly hot. Lol It's a bold tangy marinara. The sandwich is perfect for what it is. Service was excellent for a truck and typical of when there's a line. Busy. Not much time to small talk. I'll definitely be watching our food vendor schedule and trying out more items from the Graziano Bros. Sausage Mobile food trailer. https://www.facebook.com/p/Graziano-Bros-Sausage-Mobile-61572883362883/

Within the little Italy area is an Italian grocery that has been here for well over 100 years. Graziano Bros offers, sausages, cheeses, breads, meatballs, etc. plus dry goods offered in wholesale amounts for additional savings. A wonderful little shop with a feeling of nostalgia and a focus on excellent customer service. It has a wonderful aroma of amazing food selections. During lunchtime, they offer amazing Italian sandwiches. This is a must stop for your pantry and or freezer when in the Des Moines area. Bring an ice block!

I was annoyed just waiting for the grill and the second round took forever to come and in the entire meal I was just over it. This place fails to meet the all you can eat standards. The single waitress struggles to keep up and is kind and patient but patrons pay the ultimate price for this model. The meat menu is limited. The place does not have sugar for tea, and the experience itself was just frustrating because we were a table of 4 and hungry.

The produce is all packed and wrapped in plastic wrap. Harder for people to steal or is it for safety from filthy hands? The produce selection is super tiny and the bananas are on a sort of coatrack. The canned, jarred, and boxed selection is pretty fantastic as there are ethnic foods you don't see elsewhere or pay 2-3 times as much at places like Hy-Vee. It's a super economic store, especially for a privately owned store. Definitely a relic, and I hope it stays standing. Makes me homesick for my hometown, a real city. Oh, little Des Moines, glad you have one of these.
