I discovered Faicco's Italian Specialties while on a Greenwich Village Foods of NY Tour. If you haven't heard of this thing called a "food tour" you need to sign up for one the next time you go to a major city. Food tours have become one of my favorite hobbies over the last few years and every time I go somewhere new I look for one. For more information on the New York Foods of NY Tours click here (The Chelsea Market Tour is awesome as well!).
If you are looking for the perfect old school butcher for all of your Italian needs you will be sure to find it at Faicco's Italian Specialties. They have an assortment of Italian meats as well as a wall full of tomato sauces, olive oils, bruschettes, pastas and much more. Anything you need to cook an Italian feast, you can find right here in this tiny shop.
My favorite part of the shop are the Rice Balls. Its a small round ball of creamy rice dipped in bread crumbs and lightly fried and served warm. So, so delicious. Its the perfect little Italian snack and they only cost a dollar!
Faicco's Italian Specialties is located in the West Village at 260 Bleeker street NY, NY 10014. You can also reach them at (212) 243-1974. Now... go have a snack!
