Ceriello Fine Foods

For prime cuts in Midtown, Ceriello Fine Foods stands apart from standard grocers. It’s a butcher shop that still carves its own path. At 89 E 42nd St, the store anchors a block better known for granite-clad office towers than artisanal meats.

They slice house-ground sausages daily, hang dry-aged steaks, and package house-made charcuterie for takeaway. The counter keeps ribs and pork belly within arm’s reach, while the poultry case rotates whole birds and pre-marinated drumsticks. Offcuts become quick-stock bases for home cooks who want depth without spending hours.

Call (212) 972-4266 between orders to confirm cuts or reserve whole birds ahead of weekends. No seating, no frills—just meat that doesn’t talk about itself.
