Faicco's Pork Store
Inside Faicco's Pork Store
Faicco's Pork Store is a long-established butcher shop nestled in Brooklyn’s Bensonhurst neighborhood, known for its deep Italian roots and wide selection of quality pork products. It’s the kind of place where you can feel the history in the air—a family-run store that has been serving authentic Italian-style meats for decades, making it a staple for locals who appreciate traditional flavors and old-school service.
Visitors come here primarily looking for top-notch pork cuts, homemade sausages, and expertly prepared cold cuts. The staff's skill with the slicer is well-known among regulars; they’ll slice your meats exactly how you want, whether it’s for a classic Italian sandwich or a family Sunday sauce. Many customers rely on Faicco’s for fresh, perfectly ground burger meat with just enough fat to keep things juicy and flavorful on the grill. For home cooks crafting rich, slow-cooked tomato sauces or hearty ragus, the store’s ribs and pork shoulders are go-to ingredients that deliver authentic taste.
The atmosphere is straightforward and functional, typical of a neighborhood butcher, but with a warm sense of tradition. You’re likely to find a mix of longtime residents picking up their favorites, alongside newer Brooklynites discovering an authentic slice of Italian food culture that hasn’t disappeared despite changing neighborhood dynamics. Prices can run on the higher side, reflecting the quality and specialty imports, but most customers concur that it’s worth the investment.
Faicco’s experience is best suited for those who enjoy a hands-on approach to cooking or just want reliable, quality meats with distinct Italian character. It's especially well-regarded by home chefs focused on ingredient-driven meals, as well as anyone looking to recreate classic Italian deli sandwiches at home. The shop is welcoming to all — whether you’re Italian or not — and the knowledgeable staff make it easy to ask questions and get exactly what you need.
