Frank & Sal's Prime Meats - Bensonhurst (5 stars) This is the kind of old-school Italian spot that still means it, and honestly? I recommend it over Russo's any day. I ordered the homemade fresh mozzarella, a chicken roll, and their two-for-one meatball special, and everything was spot on. * The mozzarella was incredible. Soft, creamy, fresh, absolutely the highlight and worth the price. * The chicken roll was one of the best I've had in Brooklyn, crispy on the outside, stuffed, flavorful, and didn't even need a dipping sauce. Held up perfectly in delivery. * The meatballs (10 total across two trays for $14.99) came in a rich red sauce and were clearly made in-house. Tender, well-seasoned, and very filling. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and you can tell this place actually cares about what they're putting out, not just coasting on nostalgia. Definitely my new go-to for Italian deli classics and fresh prepared food. Delivery was fast, and everything was hot. Five stars. read more

This isn't a review of the store, just of their penne vodka. Definitely try something else. Their "penne vodka" literally tastes like boiled pasta read more

I've order Locatelli Parmesan Romano to be shipped to northwestern Pennsylvania before from Frank and Sal. They always pack it properly and assure it stays chilled through what can be several days of a shipping process. If you are going to eat Italian then do it all the way. They understand! read more

I will order these over and over again . Make no mistake. Frank and Sals have the best food around and also the best customer service. Thank you Barry read more

Living in Atlanta it is IMPOSSIBLE to get authentic Italian Food. Thank goodness for the folks at Frank and Sal's! We ordered the Premium Italian Sausage (HOT) and........ OMG the BEST!!!!!

You cannot go wrong ordering from them! Bravo! BTW, they ship your food in amazing containers...they are very concerned about quality and it shows! read more

I LOVE Frank & Sal's!!! I have ordered from Frank and Sal's several times. Imagine getting fresh food from NYC in Alabama! That's right...in Alabama. Everything I have ordered is delicious! My favorites are the eggplant parmigiana, lasagna, stuffed beef rolls involtini and boneless stuffed chicken roast. The boneless stuffed chicken roast is an elegant main course. If you love great tasting food, please order from Frank and Sal's. Your tummy will be happy. read more

Love Frank and Sal's! Italian bread is always fresh. Great cold-cuts. Love their sun dried tomatoes from the deli. Great selection of imported products. They have a lot of gluten free options for those who are celiac. So many things to choose from you must see for yourself! read more

My grandma ordered 3,000 dollars worth of food for my aunt's wedding and the food was all messed up. They left out multiple things of the order. The service there is terrible and they are very inconsiderate. They acted as if we didn't know what we were doing. I highly don't recommend this place. read more

If you live in any of the five boroughs of NYC or the surrounding Metro Area, Frank and Sal's is the BEST Italian Grocery store/Supermarket you will ever find,. I know. I'm not only 100% Italian but am and always have been obsessed with my Italian culture and food. I have been going to the Brooklyn location since they first opened in 1989. I used to live in Bensonhurst. Now I'm in Park Slope and often too lazy to drive and park there, so, they have a website where you can order with FREE DELIVERY. I receive my order the next day. FULLY COLD and INSULATED, I usually order over the phone because they do NOT have all their products on their web site. So, I call and ask for FRANCESCO. He's a nice guy, HONEST to a T and KNOWS HIS STUFF, Go there or ORDER via phone or on line and you will be glad you did if you want HIGH quaolity meats, cheeses or ANYTHING that is authentic Italian items. read more

It's Best place in Brooklyn for Fresh Cut Meat & Cold cuts. I come all the way from Long Island to get my tomatoes in a jar. They have a larger selection of sauces. Fresh pasta & cheeses.The workers are super friendly & carried my two cases of sauce into my truck with even asking. It's definitely worth a trip for quality food. There is nothing like Brooklyn read more

Great market and great meats. Saisage is beautiful and done right. Prices are excellent, it's like a time warp. Nice cheesess for a great price and really good water that is hard to find. Nice cookies too for $4,95 that are $9.95 everywhere else! I shall return! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! An absolute gem, a true hallmark of the neighborhood. Everything in here is amazing. 4/5 stars due to the fact that it's ALWAYS busy and the place itself is small. Ideally it would be much larger to accommodate for customer capacity and a parking lot to avoid the cluster fuck of double parking that occurs out front leading to massive traffic jams. read more

If you love real Italian food outside of a restaurant this is the place to go. Beware though it is dangerous, the foods are so delicious and tempting you may gain weight just inhaling the smells . The freshly made mozzarella is amazing , the milk leaks out as you slice it that's how fresh it is. I have been coming here for years and never tried anything that was less then delicious. Fridays are your best day for seafood the zuppa de mussels are perfect , the seafood pasta is a comfort food and the salmon bruschetta is perfectly cooked. The choices of cold cuts is fantastic and the workers clearly love their jobs as the serve you with pride and sometimes humor. read more

Horrendous customer service. Without exaggerating, the worst I've seen in years. The rudest cashiers in the history of mankind. Give it a shot, you'll see what I mean. read more

If your looking for some Imported Italian Specialty Foods and Grocery then look no further .your looking for some really good strong Italian coffee or espresso a particular cut of meat , handpicked Tuna or sweets they we have it all. The amount of meats , produce, cheese and bread is just crazy for such a small store its just great that they pack everything in here but it looks so clean and kept in great condition . They do catering of hot foods,big party hero's ,cheese and cold cut platters and they are so reasonable priced . my next party will be catered by them. Everyone in the store is so friendly and helpful i was looking for a specific cut of meat for my husband couldn't remember the name but the butcher knew exactly what i needed and the name of it lol . they also sell sandwiches antipasti and they have pretty good fried raviolis and rice balls . So from now on i will be buying all my meats here everything looked so fresh and there prices are excellent for the quality of meat your buying . super excited that its on only 2 blocks away from home. I Love they have a butcher on staff super nice and knows his meats lol . Big bonus they deliver and if you need a quick catering for a few friends who can place a order before 3 pm and have a whole meal delivered to you unlike other places you need to give them a one or two day notice lol . Frank and Sal's prime meats made me a happy camper today lol . cant wait to come back to do some more meat shopping lol . its just the little things that make me happy lol read more

Concise place easy to find what you need quickly. Fresh meats cut to your order. We got the cheese susage and was very good. Pastas of all kind and olive oil. Did not try the takeout but looked good and long line. Next time if I car to haul the food. read more

Thank you so very much for such great service!! and best products!!! I wish you a continued successful business. You deserve it!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! read more

I will recommend this for sandwiches and Italian and international products. The mozzarella is made fresh every morning. You can taste the freshness it's almost like taking a trip to Rome in your mouth. read more

This place is like heaven to me. When i see a butcher come out carrying an entire slaughtered lamb, excitement runs through my veins. Not in a Hannibal Lechter kind of way. In a "holy shit, real butchers still exist!" kind of way. Got my meat for Easter here and it was a great experience. Their prices are beyond fair, they've got a huge selection of rare Italian products that I LOVE, and everyone is super helpful and kind. My new fave place. read more

I love this little market Ive been a customer over 26 years. Though ive moved from Bensonhursrt i still go back there to shop for authentic imported Italian products..there herb section is always fresh year round.Theu selection of macaronis..pasta to you non italians..is vast from specialty impoted hand made to fresh and a huge selection of any shape you can imagine Also Raiolos from rhe bearby Pastors and Silver Star and Queen but not the outrageous Whole Foods prices that rhey charge!

They also cater and delivery and are on the web.And they are neighborhood priced..not Boutique yuppie priced..ive seen products they sell for at least 4 times more in those places! Its a friendly family shop i hope NEVER closes! read more

We hired Frank & Sal's to cater my grandfather's 90th birthday... this was going to be a massive gathering of old-school Brooklyn Italians, some of whom have moved away and lament not being able to get this or that where they are now, so I knew we had to get the food *right* and we did!! We ordered way too much, but... eh, whatever. Everything was delicious... people especially went nuts over the rice balls and croquettes; I guess you don't see those around as much anymore. Sausage and peppers did not skimp on the sausage at all - and do they make their own? It was so tasty. Oricchette pasta was al dente, broccoli rabe perfect. Chicken marsala was great, tons of mushrooms. I never got to taste the baked ziti, but people nommed it down, so I guess that was good too. We got a coffee urn and it came with three giant bottles of milk - whole, skim, 2%, some heavy cream, some half and half, and two bottles of non-dairy creamer. (seriously, we're left with so much extra milk that it's like we just bought groceries and the coffee was free!) They also delivered cups, spoons, and, like, several pounds of sugar and some sweet n low. Salad came with two bottles of dressing and a container of oil and vinigar. Bread was thrown in gratis. The guy who delivered the food was early, but not inconveniently so, and he was SO nice, and set everything up perfectly, lit the sternos, etc. No trouble returning the coffee urn and chafing stands to get my deposit back - in cash. Could not have been better. I'm just sad we don't live near this place or I'd be in there all the time for salami and whatnot. Oh, they do pastries too, but we ordered from Savarese for that because that's where we have always gotten our pastries from. read more

I don't know why people here compare Frank & Sal's to Whole Foods, its very specifically an Italian specialty store that does sell some produce (not organic, but at really good prices). You can get Italian soda and so many kinds of cookies, things hard to find outside of Italy. Many kinds of dried and fresh pastas, beautiful things like Sicilian capers in sea salt (amazing with scrambled eggs!!) and even these Italian black licorice candies that I am addicted to. You can get semolina flour to make your own pasta, or zeppole mix, little pastinas my mom used to make me as a kid, you can't get that stuff anywhere, even at Whole Paycheck. But what I love most are the meats and cheeses, like five kinds of prosciutto, sweet and spicy sausages, several provolones and the fresh mozzarella is the best in the universe! Warm, milky and freshly made, you can get it smoked and unsalted too. Grated parmesan is CHEAP, a huge container is only a couple dollars. The deli counter has amazing dishes like sauteed broccoli rabe with garlic and oil, perfectly made, plus the standard rollatinis, salads, whatever they are making that day. Its all delicious. People order and speak in Italian here, its totally charming. And I love seeing Latino and Arabic women in headscarves in here too, getting all that good stuff with their little kids. God, I love Bensonhurst. Get your bread at the bakery down the street on 18th Ave. though, its fresher :). read more

All their foods are great, love that store.I love their fried calamari their cold cuts dept. is always going with lines but they move fast.

Anyone giving this store less than 5 stars is insane. Everything about this place is the best. Friendly service, delicious food, freshest vegetables, top of the line meat, unbelievable sausage and the greatest deli counter I have ever seen. They have a great selection of Italian products and are well stocked with grocery items. Sometimes the deli line is long but they have plenty of clerks and the line moves fast. If you are ever in the neighborhood stop by to see how a store is supposed to be run. You can not leave this store without filling up a shopping cart. read more

I was dying for Portuguese Salted Cod and after looking for some stores here in SF I decided to search at Amazon and I saw Frank's Cod. Its my second time ordering directly from SF. Just loving it read more

Frank and Sal's is a terrific grocery store. "Prime Meats" is a bit misleading, because it makes you think of Faicco's, which is the platonic ideal of a pork store, and which has the best sopressata in the universe. I got a well-butchered steak here, cut to order, but the calling card here isn't the meat counter. It's the grocery essentials. From Tabu grani di liquiriria to those Euro-shaped bottles of Fanta to those awesome stale, semi-sweet cookies that have your wife convinced you have no taste...it's just like being in Ischia. Except, I guess, that people in Ischia don't wear so much velour. And I bet an Escalade costs a pretty penny over there. read more

Frank & Sal's is the neighborhood italian all-in-one grocery store. They sell different cuts of meats (chicken, sausages, beef, etc), vegetables, fruits and cheeses. The store itself is not huge but what they can pack in there is immense. The owners are pretty friendly, willing to assist you with anything. The freshness of the food is pretty superb. Not comparable to Whole Foods but I guess it is Bensonhurst's own Whole Foods. I have also learned that they prepare and sell a variety of meals, ie. lasagna, baked ziti, mixed vegetables in these huge azz pans. However, you must order the meals at like 8am since I hear that they sell out by 10am everyday. My only gripe about the place is that I wish they stayed opened later on in the day - until regular people get home, which is like at 7sh and on. I think they close between 6:30 and 7pm. I just remember rushing home at 6:30sh and their doors were almost closed. read more

Their selection of BBQable items is huge, I saw so many types of sausage, sausage pinwheels, hamburger meats, and patties, and all kinds of other meats, ready to be BBQ'd to perfection. I've never wandered in here until now, and will be stopping in much more often. read more

Love this place! Close by and consistently good prepared foods and cold cuts. Gave them one less stAr because sometimes they give way more than I ask for (mainly cold cuts) which increases the price I was expecting to pay. read more

I went to this store for the ingredients to make a caprese salad. At the deli counter, I asked the man for his recommendation on mozzarella. He pointed to basket full of mozzarella balls and informed me they are made fresh everyday. Then, he sent me on way with a "Ciao Bella." I was impress that this store sells fresh basil. Everything here looks authentic. $1.29 for a bunches of basil, $8.07 for a pound of mozzarella. read more

Frank & Sal's is a great neighborhood specialty shop. It's not a Whole Foods because it is authentic to the nines, it's a real family run business with great quality meats & cheeses, fruits & vegetables. Everyone is friendly & helpful and if you are an aficionado of anything Italian, you will not be disappointed by what you will find there. It's true that they do not stay open real late, but there's always the weekend. You have to try the fresh mozzerella - to die for! read more

This place is effing legit. Italian neighborhood staple that makes quality a non-negotiable. Their prosciutto de parm rendered anywhere else unacceptable. You've got a loyal fan in me. read more

A great variety of italian goods that really can't be found anywhere else. their cuts of poultry/beef are excellent and are done on the premises. Fresh cheeses are made daily and are a treat to eat! read more

Frank and Sals is the best Italian supermarket I've ever been to. This place is a gem in Brooklyn so much so I drive all the way from North Eastern LI with a cooler in my truck to buy Italian sausages, meat ball mix, beef for sauce, braciole. I love the Italian Fanta soda I buy a case each time I go. The butcher shop is amazing the place is outstanding. read more

This is the real deal. Don't get me wrong, this place is anything but cheap., however if you want a quality salumeria, this is about as good as it gets. read more
