This place is great. I hope that they never go out of business. It is a Philly landmark. The staff are great people friendly. And the Family treats you like family. The best quality meats fresh every single day. Ive been going to them for the last 12 years and Im not stopping. 2 thumbs πup to them π
I went in here trying to get a cut of beef to try to reverse sear for the first time. I went in and started talking with the butcher, Dominic, and he walked me through it and convinced me I could do it on a tomahawk. So I got it and tried it and it came out awesome. Best piece of beef I ever tasted. The people there are nice and helpful and the prices are great.
I drive 45 minutes weekly to come to this amazing meat store!The best place in the Philadelphia Tri-State area!So Amazing! Worth the drive every time!
By far the best in the city, let alone the tri state area. Best prices, top quality, and super knowledgeable people. I cannot say enough good things about this business. They have been helping me for a long time and would never go anywhere else.
If you care about your health and care about meat that actually tastes like meat, youre in good place. Its most likely the best in the state, I do not want to be arrogant or youd say best in the tri-state.You cant be disappointed buying anything there.
Ive been shopping there since I was a little girl. Good memories and good quality meats.
This is THEE place to go for meats, poultry, and even cheeses. This was my first visit and I cant wait to return for some steaks π
Great quality and selection of meats. Fresh and special orders available.
Came out on Sunday November 1st looking for nice quality oxtails, was greeted by a professional butcher that took the time to show me a few options of oxtail in the back. He trimmed them down perfectly. I also brought some beautiful beef ribs, chicken wings and a roast. All were amazing quality and thatβs what matters to me. Thank You for giving me excellent service on my first visit I will be a return customer!
Iβve been shopping at Espositoβs for 20+ years and canβt say enough great things about them. There are very few old school butchers still around and even fewer that offer this level of customer service and a top quality product. Do not miss their sausages, slab bacon, Gianonne chickens, steaks and veal!
Always a great product! Extremely nice employees.
The service was quick and personable. I purchased the meats I wanted. It was fresh and reasonably priced. In and out approximately 15 minutes.
Zero stars if i could. You expect when you pay more and go somewhere specialty that youre going to receive good service. Went there today. Super disorganized. Waited my turn, watched 6 people come out, no one calling others in, when asked was told by 2 employees in the rudest manner, walked out. Not stepping foot in here ever again. Overpriced and beyond disrespectful.
Best meat selection and prices in the City. Ive been going there for 30+ years and theres no other service and care that comes close!!!
Good service fast service no long waiting time
Awesome quality fresh meats.
Very organized, clean,friendly definitely making more trips to this place
Great place great meat and variety
This is my favorite meat store to shop at. Meats are always fresh and the store is always clean. I went today for my monthly quarantine shopping and I must give you a heads up, the prices have increased. I was shocked, but I understand the reason for the price increase. Not to mention, I will pay the price for good quality and clean cuts of meat. They are still practicing social distancing, only 8 in at a time which is definitely good. But, you know everyone doesnt understand the meaning of social distancing π. The staff still wears the protective facemasks. Awesome place to shop!!
Took my son so he can see where /how to pick out restaurant quality meats for his table
Great place, good prices, good people. So much top stuff to choose from. Now I just need to get better at cooking it.Definitely my butcher of choice in South Philly. Keep it up!
I love this place it gives me quality meats for my money
Great customer service, the meats are high quality
Started shopping there during covid.Cant say enough about the care and respect they show to all the customers.The meat is the best quality and you can easily see they care about their customers and the quality of their product.They now have a customer for life.
Love the selection and prices. Old fashioned butcher shop at its best.
This was the first time Ive been here and it definitely wont be my last everyone was very friendly and attentive. I was asked more than once if I was being helped. The lady who helped me get my duck breast was particularly nice and helpful on my way in and as I was leaving.πππ
Just a wonderful place to shop and high quality products.
Clean establishment with great service and good looking meats!!!
Great Prices, Fresh looking meat displays
This is a real class act. Got my first delivery yesterday. Beautiful meats and DELICIOUS! Had a rib eye and a filet last night and we were THRILLED! Thank you, Espositos.
Excellent all the time. Customer service A+Prep/Butcher @victoriaskitchen
Good service fair prices
It was a very pleasant visi
Excellent meat and customer service. The best butcher in the Italian Market!
Hubby and I always makes this our first stop when we shop at the Italian market. The meat is fresh and reasonably priced. One of our favorites is the Jamaican jerk chicken thighs that are awesome on the Grill.
Excellent customer service . Very patient and helpful!
Personable service! Top quality meats. Nice specials.
I love this butcher. They are one of the best in the market. They are great for good cuts of meat, I like this lamb shoulder chops, and pre-marinaded treats like the Tuscan turkey. They have good prices on cheese too. I just wish they were open on Mondays
Purchased several NY strips and cowboy steaks when taken out of the package had an awful smell! I will stick with Lombardiβs meats instead.
Failed their customers during the pandemic. I had an order I had waited on for 10 days. They announced on social media they were closing before my order was due but they didnt say ANYTHING about orders already placed. I didnt recieve an email about my cancellation until the day before it was due, I sent multiple emails left unanswered. When I said something about it to them on Instagram they didnt even apologize and blamed it on Mercato. Its both of you.You each has a responsibility to your customers and you didnt care.
Really friendly staff, really good prices, really fresh meats. Dont know that theres anything not to love about this place. Theyve also had the same, knowledgeable staff for as long as I can remember.
Always a pleasure shopping there. ππ€
Great place and pleasant people
Why buy at a chain store? Prices are comparable and the quality is top notch. The staff are helpful and always cheerful every time Im there. My only complaint (and it is minor) is that they close by the time I get off work at 6 pm. Not their fault, really, but because I love the place I wish they could stretch it to 7 some days. Highly recommended for a true Italian Market cooking/grilling shoppers experience.
Good Beef
Favorite butcher
It wasnt Espositos it was canulli bro
One of the cleanest and easiest meat markets to shop at on Ninth. VERY clean, organized and service oriented. Try a small 15/20 pound roasting pig! They fit perfect and cook beautifully on a bbq grill with a rotisserie. Succulent π π
Love this store, the meet is always fresh and the staff is always professional even with the Cov 19.
Best butcher shop in Philadelphia!!! The Italian Market has changed, but Espositos remains the same
The best meat store on the best customer service I ever know
I bought a pre made beef roast for the crock pot. Best I ever ate. Reasonable price.
If you are looking for Fresh, high quality meats you got the right place. You wont find any finer cuts of beef anywhere in Philly. Knowledgeable staff and great cooking advice is always available.
Very well organised, socially distanced.
These guys are great. Were always looking for larger cuts for the smoker, and these guys always make it happen. You have to learn how to work the lines when you get in there, as it can be a little crazy. There is a line going towards each counter, and you pick one!
A variety of meats that meet always expectations.
One of the last Italian Markets left. Clean store from what I can see. No bad odors from food. Pretty reasonable prices. Very friebdly & attentive.
Hands down BEST butcher in Philly.Not only do they have everything you could want but unlike a lot of places they have actual skilled butchers who can help you make the right selection on what to buy and how to cook.They also can butcher cuts for you, fillet chicken breast, slice roasts, grind meatball mic, etc.Awesome.
A very clean experience it was
Always professional and courteous been going since I was a child
Love to go to this place. We always buy our food by the bulk when we shop here, and it lasts us all month long. Good friendly service. Love it.
Quick and friendly customer service. Outstanding Quality Products. Jordan takes care of the customers like it was his own business.
Must wear a mask, social distancing rules apy....still the BEST butcher shop
Awesome place to purchase animal protein. One of our many purchases was a leg of lamb, which they were happy to chop up into manageable pieces for curries, stews, or shepherds pies.
The service was great. The quality was amazing. The prices are incredible.
Quality Meats, Great Service. Family Oriented. A Centerpiece On 9th Streets Italian Market.
Quintessential Italian market butcher. Very inexpensive and always fresh. Great meats and great friendly butchers.
Best meats in the city. Service is great and selection is amazing. I would recommend this to anyone of my friends.

Amazing butcher. Great staff and very knowledgeable and helpful.
Great always, meat quality and service! I recommend all my friends and family.
Best meat selections and cuts in the city. Since the 1920s Alito Esposito has been offering quality and rare cuts of any meat for you cooking needs.
The best meat market in Philly... Meat is always fresh and the employees are always friendly
Pretty good butcher shop. Having never been to a butcher before I enjoyed the help they provided me while getting ribs for a BBQ.
Simply the best butcher in Philadelphia. Everything is fresh and high-quality, and the prices are astonishingly reasonable.

Always bustling with a helpful team of spirited butchers and Philadelphians from all walks of life who know this is the best place to get fresh meat on 9th Street
This is the place to buy meat and cheese in the Italian Market. You just have to be a little agressive with the lines.
First time purchasing meat and I definitely was satisfied with the prices and choices!
Great quality protein for fair prices, and friendly people.
