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!

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.

I live a long way from this store but do make the drive for some sale items. Today they had 3…read moregreat sale items with one of them being 85% hamburger at a nice price in the 10# tube. Allow me to back up, and share I'm a former very large medical facility supervisor with an advanced degree and was a Marine NCO. Going back a few years I used to buy on sale the entire rib roast and have Fareway cut and wrap it, which I would then vac seal for good storage time. About 3 years ago I paid a LOT of money for a whole rib side at the 90th & Center street location, and when I started using it, it had "no" marbling and after cooking just barely medium rare it was still "much" more firm than a CHOICE rib steak should ever be. Once they open that package and start cutting the meat, it's yours and they don't show you a couple cuts to see what you're buying. I thought that had to be a fluke to get a tough one, and about 9 months later I took a chance and bought ANOTHER whole rib side. (Ribeye) SAME THING! Two in a row! Looked, cooked, cut and chewed JUST LIKE select grade! That's not what I paid for. Folks, I grew up on a ranch out past Beemer NE, and know my meat. As a result I will not buy any whole rib or NY Strip sides at Fareway. So to come current, today I got my sale items at a great price and wanted to get 20 lbs of the 85% burger on sale. Quarter the tubes, wrap and vac seal was the plan. ALL the guys back in the meat dept were fantastic and very pleasant and respectful as was EVERY store employee !!! The gent brought out 4 tubes to choose from and they all looked just the same, and I'm here to tell you there was no way that had enough red in it to be 85% burger in my experience. ** So, now, two "select grade-like" entire very expensive rib sides and today it was "like" we're selling 80% burger marked as 85%. I'll let you decide. I'm not suggesting Fareway has friends in the USDA grading department. I needed some 80% burger for some recipes I enjoy so I bought one and sent the other back. A meat loaf with this would be swimming in fat. The ribeye steak meat under the glass looked great, nice marbling, deep red color. Wished that was what I had taken home when I bought the two rib sides (ribeye). In closing, very clean store, helpful pleasant employees including the evening manager, excellent sale pricing on some items. But know your meat if you buy bulk there, ask to see a couple slices before you take an entire rib side home, look at the color which should be a deep red not a slightly pale red like my rib roast sides, and if a rib steak, look for choice grade marbling and grain. If in doubt, buy the more expensive meat under the glass you can visualize BEFORE it's yours and wrapped and you get it home - IF your budget allows. I am the opposite of a person who is a complainer but my experience today prompted me to hit the keyboard. Fareway can reply however they choose to this, but that 85% tube of beef was not nearly as red as it should have been meaning a too high fat content, ... and I looked at the 90% burger under the glass, and that's what the 85% should have looked like. Made me wonder about the 90% tag which I doubt very much. Two other stores very near me in the Benson area sell ribeye and NY Strip steaks equal to the good "UNDER THE GLASS" meat at Fareway, but at * greatly * reduced prices when on sale, so I'm basically done shopping for any red meat at Fareway. Today was the last straw. Great store, spotless, nice people, helpful, well lit, incredible variety, just be careful buying the meat. Be VERY careful if you intend to buy an entire rib roast side OR you intend to use 85% burger for meat loaf or similar especially if this is a major expense for you as it is for most who buy bulk to vac seal and store while saving some money. One of my many hobbies for 50 years is cooking indoors and out on Kamodo's, Traegers, normal grills --- and REAL honestly marked 85% hamburger makes fine meat loaf ! This stuff sure wouldn't. *** I gave TODAY's experience just 1 star directly as a result of the hamburger irregularity complicated by a definite "trend" with Fareway meats being over-graded. You can decide if they are intentionally doing this. *** Your mileage may vary. PS: On a happier note there used to be a meat manager there, Steve I believe, who in no way should have had a job communicating with humans. Sour, snotty, condescending, smarmy and I've no idea why he was there so long. That suggests poor management or nepotism. Thankfully he's been replaced by a very pleasant and capable meat dept manager who understands the importance of interacting with customers who pay their paycheck with respect and some congeniality. He's also a Marine so he's been around.

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.
