The best butcher shop around Brooklyn heights, Carroll gardens , Clinton hill , gowanus... great quality, good prices, and they sell every animal/cut you can imagine.

Awesome old school meat market .Very helpful with tips on cuts to try.Ended up Trying the 30 day aged shell steak , cut 3/4".Very tender with great flavor. aged steak for $14.99 per lb , that's cheap

the 30-day aged, bone-in shell steaks are excellent value for $12.99/lb. get 'em 2" thick, marinate in soy sauce and grill on highest possible heat for 8 min per side. charred outside, rare inside.

Christina Baumberger

These guys are the best! Great variety, always fresh- and amazing service. It's not cheap , but hey- you get what you pay for!

Sean Fitzroy

Octopuses are supposed to be very intelligent – but I'm glad that they're not so intelligent that they avoid ending up in Paisanos's octopus salad , because it is delicious!

Stan Tran

The best butcher in NYC. The porterhouse is always a crowd pleaser. The wild game sausages are a nice treat as well .

Daniel McDonough

Perfect neighborhood butcher . They have anything you could want. Prices are high and the wait is usually long but worth it.

Gradie Oakes

Huge selection of awesome cold cut sandwiches . Paisanos hero weighs two lbs. Don't overthink it...all of them are great. All the marinated meats are great for an easy dinner .

Marc Mayer

Some of the best cuts of really high quality meat. The line moves quickly, if you’re averse to standing around.

Ross Brown

I feel so fortunate to have this wonderful place in my life. So lucky to be able to feed my family the wonderful things I can get here.

Jessica M.

Di Parma and The Paisano sandwiches will not disappoint. Best selection of meats, sausages , and Italian goods in the hood.

Dave Johnson

Only butcher shop I have seen in Brooklyn with Bachalla. Worth the line out the door on Fridays

Scott Fitzgerald

If you're getting a sandwich , stay by the front half of the counter near the door. The back half is for people getting meaty treats to cook elsewhere.

David Greenberger

You want it, they've got it. Elk , emu, camel, antelope , rattlesnake, gator , boar , kangaroo ...

Quinton Silvers

Everything I usually pick up Filet Mignon , Paisanos ground beef to make burgers and stew beef

M K

Stuff you didn't know they sold: their own fresh pastas on the back, ready to cook meatballs and kebabs .

New York Habitat

This old school Brooklyn butcher combines quality products with great service! If you’re ever in Cobble Hill be sure to stop by!

Sandra Rubinchik

If you just describe what you're making, they'll hook you up with all the right cuts. I still don't actually know what part of the cow a brisket is.

Matt Dorville

My butcher of choice. Make sure to get a frequent buyer card and rack up points for a discount .

Everything from here is super fresh...It can get crowded really quickly so shop early
