We started going to Casanova's after a friend had given us rave reviews about the fresh meat they…read moregot from the butcher. Since then we haven't looked back! I don't live close to the location, but I plan my weekly trip out to Casanova's. The service is great, and we feel like regulars whenever we go in. We usually go for the sirloin steaks and whatever homemade sausages they have for the week. They also have specials on some of their meat options that change depending on the season. I really appreciate their pricing here as well, we don't feel like we are breaking the bank with getting meat from here vs the grocery stores. Once you start getting fresh meat from Casanova's, you won't go back!

The owner is a complete fraud! He charged me an exorbitant $200 for a charcuterie board that I…read morespecified needed to serve 15 people. It barely had enough meat to make a sandwich for ONE person, along with grapes and cheese. I even saw a board on his website that he sells for $130, which could have easily fed 30+ people. I should have realized something was amiss when he said I made it just for you in a condescending manner. Spread the word, I have already started, that he does not treat every customer with the same respect. He is a crook!

As I came in the door a woman asked if she could help me find anything and took me right over to the correct shelf. She even knew the kind of cinnamon I wanted when I told her what I used to buy at Penzey's. I could have been in and out in about five minutes except for the single cashier. The place is really small but it's probably got any spice you can think of and then some. I was really glad I remembered it.

I was taking a walk in the Old Market and saw a friend. She was so excited about a tea drink she…read morewas holding and enthusiastically recommended me to stop in this new place. I'm so glad I did. Smells amazing; and the people here are so nice. So I came in for a cup of this amazing tea. It's called Paris Fog, however the staff kindly pointed out that that selection is highly caffeinated, and since it's almost 3pm I couldn't do that so I got a nice Jasmine Green instead. Will come back in a morning to try the other one.

I was in the neighborhood and decided to check out The Mercato. If you love meat, you will love…read morethis store. There's a large selection of various cuts of raw meat just waiting for your skillet or grill. The array of spices and condiments meant for that meat is pretty extensive too. Lots of cheese, veggies, pastries and ready to eat meals grace the shelves and cases. I bought some low sodium pasta sauce, cheese cubes, a jar of garlic, fresh green beans, carrots, a cinnamon roll, and a ready to eat macaroni and cheese with brisket. I haven't tried everything yet but I liked the cheese. Bookguy and I shared the mac and cheese when I got home, but neither of us liked it. I think the sweet barbecue sauce on the brisket didn't go well with the cheese sauce. The cinnamon roll was a bit dry, but it had icing to help that. If I had added melted butter, I would have like it better. The Mercato is kind of a niche store, but the products I bought were reasonably priced. I don't know anything about the meat, since I didn't buy it. The two employees were friendly and engaging. This is a long way from my usual shopping area, but if I lived nearby, I could see myself being a customer.

If you go when they're not busy, you really get to see the depth of the staff's knowledge. I was able to walk around with an employee as he explained the differences between the oils I was tasting. It was nice to have this personal touch and clearly see their passion for their products. I've never had a bad quality oil here either. Some of the flavors may not be my favorite, but it's neat to be able to try them.

The shop has changed owners since my review 3 years ago but it still offers the same great service…read moreand excellent products. I believe they even have a larger selection of products now. I've discovered a couple of new favorites -- the cucumber melon and jalapeno lime balsamic vinegars. These are a little thicker and can be used as a salad dressing by itself. At only a few calories per tablespoon, this is a much healthier low cal option than traditional dressings and tastes fantastic. I use a drizzle along with a sprinkle of salt & pepper on cucumbers and many other veggies. I like to joke that a dash of the right balsamic can make anything taste good! I also recently purchased an almond crème balsamic that tastes great on fruit, cheesecake, ice cream and yogurt. Of course it is pricier than a vinegar you would get at the regular grocery store but so much higher quality and so worth it.

I did because I was curious to what they have and I wanted to support Omaha small businesses. The only thing it did not have was fresh vegetables which I hope that someday they will sell. I spent $70 and like everything I had purchased including two fresh meals to go. I intend to go back and support this business. Unlike one store on 72nd. and Blondo, this place is immaculate. It has an eatery, bathrooms and it looks like they are trying to open a butcher shop. Felix is a very nice fella and I have every reason to return.

I LOVE that they have bags of pre-husked corn for when you're in a rush or don't have an easy spot to husk it yourself (and you cannot husk the corn there at the stand). The watermelons tend to be just ok for the fairly high price, but my faves are the corn, cantaloupes, and tomatoes. One thing to note is that not everything is necessarily local or grown in Nebraska. At some other stands they sell only local stuff. So just be mindful as you look around. And when in doubt, just ask.

I was hoping to find some berries, but they didn't have any. I'm not sure if that's typical or if they had simply sold out.

It's a little pricey. Understandable because it is a specialty place but it won't always fit into…read moremy budget. Looks like an average little business but step inside and it feels like a cabin. Wooden floors and food from the Northwoods or Wisconsin. The cheese samples are plentiful and very good. They even have cheese curds. In addition to cheese they had different sausages, jams, pickled items and candy. Try the frog balls. They are pickled Brussel Sprouts and surprisingly good. One of the other customers couldn't get say the name to try them. They would be a fun thing to bring to a cocktail party as a conversation piece. There is a business next door called that may or may not be a part of the same business. It's a shaded patio with live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Seems like a nice little place to sit with friends and share some wine and cheese.

I think they're missing out on a golden opportunity to carry a wider variety of cheeses instead of just Wisconsin cheeses. I don't quite understand the drive behind such a niche shop in a place like Papillion. I think they could be more successful and have more foot traffic if they broadened the scope a bit. We would certainly shop there if that were the case.
