Ugo & Joe’s Lucky Meats

This place is amazing; the sausages are handmade by the owner (who is on vacation right now so they aren’t selling them until he gets back) and their huge selection of olives are delicious. They also have great breads; all you have to do is stick them in the oven. They come out better than most of the bread that the local bakeries have to offer!
I get a new kind of cheese everytime I visit and I’m not even through a tenth of all they have. It’s a truly amazing Italian deli. The staff are kind and very helpful as well!
I literally visit like at least once a week. Would recomend this to everyone ⁵⁄₅ stars.

Ugo & Joe’s are amongst the places that I look forward to visit and spend my money. I appreciate Italian food, in fact I love it, and U&J have mostly what I need. It might just be that I am a regular client, but I find the service excellent with friendly greeting, advise and arrivederci.
One time I had purchased Parma Ham and was not satisfied with the quality. I could only return a couple of days later and got a new batch at no cost and I love Parma Ham.
Ugo & Joe’s give me the feeling of a Family Business that cares about the customer.

They carry Myzithra cheese! If you haven’t had pasta with browned butter and grated Myzithra, try it. It’s absolutely delectable! Impressive selection of pastas too.

I usually get olives and deli meats here, but also really appreciate the pasta selection and frozen breads. My boyfriend also often brings home the goat gouda since I can’t eat cow dairy, and it is fantastic (a bit saltier than a regular gouda).
I see some folks have commented on the friendliness of the staff so I just wanted to say that I’ve always had good service. If you want your deli counter attendant to chat wit you about the weather, maybe it’s not the place for you. If you want to know EXACTLY what the difference between the Mediterranean and Italian olive mix is or even which salami is least likely to give you heartburn… ask and you shall know!

These guys are so unfriendly. I only go here as a last resort.

The selection is good, but I was turned off by the clerk who went to lengths to shortchange me by… three cents! Weird, and hopefully not a sign of overall business practice.

I walked by this place on the way back from my hair dressers to kill time before my next event. OMG walking into this grocery store was like a brief trip to Italy with imported Italian foods and desserts to share. I was amazed by their selection of meats and cheeses. The lady at the til was super friendly. It was like walking into a museum of fine foods of a different culture. I bought some vanilla sugar for my latte when I go home. The prices are very reasonable. You get that warm mom and pop feel which seems to be missing from most grocery stores around the city.

I don’t know who Ugo and Joe are but apparently I’ve run into Joe a few times if he’s the really friendly, huge hulking linebacker-​sized Italian who knows his way around food like a total boss.
Speaking of foods, while the assortment seems to be mainly made up of cheeses, specific meats, dried grains and pastas, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and mushrooms, everything here has a definitely special Italian feel. I mean, this is about the only place I know of where someone can tell me what the specific taste differences are between the various olive oils like the back of his hand. In addition, the bocconcini here is just stunning — smooth and soft, but still a bit firm to the touch, like a springy yet overdone pasta. Which I like a lot.
There’s a freezer section which probably houses all kinds of delicacies that I’m going to run into at some point and never turn back from.
Amazing selection, amazing service, and they’re actually open at normal retail hours! Te amo Ugo and Joe!

Ugo & Joe’s. I heart you.
I am so happy you guys still carry Gigi’s canned plum tomatoes. This can isn’t your typical canned tomato. The tomatoes are juicy, sweet, and full of fresh aroma.
The Reggiano Parmesiano is excellent. I’ve had some RP in the past and none of them can be compared to the ones sold here. This one is nutty, sweet, smooth and oh just so easy. Quality is solid.
Now I can’t wait to make my shrimp Diablo with these 2 key ingredients.
This store will now be my go-​to place for authentic Italian grocery — dried pastas, pasta sauces, cheeses, olive, deli and sausages. I have yet to buy these sausages but they look gourmet and so yummy. They sell fresh Ciabetta too for $ 1.00 each. Can’t wait to come back.

Holy macaroni!!! That’s an understatement for this place. Hmmmmm where do I start… Pappardelle, tagliatelle, tortellini, fettuccine, capellini, rigatoni…
All the pastas you can think of, they got it! Sizes, shapes, whole wheat… I picked up some great quality olive oil and flour from this place for making pasta and pizza dough! Yum Yum! I’m excited!
They have a pretty large deli counter with many different meats (they do some of their on charcuterie) and cheeses.
Service was a hit and miss for me. One time a guy served us and was really nice and very helpful. Another, a older woman was kind of rude and didn’t really acknowledge me at all. Didn’t even say a word or look at me… maybe she only speaks Italian? Nope, she spoke fine to the lady in front of me… –1 star.

Joe and his dad Ugo run a real great joint here. At first, it might look like a little cute italian market but upon further inspection, it’s got some stuff you will have a hard time finding elsewhere. The cheese selection alone left me breathless — an big variety and types that I hadn’t even heard of but sounded delicious. The meats and sausages all looked super fresh and delicious. There’s shelves of pasta, olive oil, tomatoes, etc.
In the back though, there’s the serious treat. We’re talking par-​baked bread (half baked and then frozen). Joe actually imports this bread direct from italy. It was mixed, rolled, and par-​baked in ITALY and then frozen and shipped here. So when you open your little oven and out comes a whoosh of fresh baked bread, just close your eyes and there’s the little italian alleyway with the day’s bread being rolled out.
On top of this, they sell fresh and frozen pasta, including take home containers ready for dinner.
Fresh pasta. Fresh bread. Fresh meat. Cheese. = dinner.
classic!

My friend recommended this store. I didn’t get to spend much time here, but will be back. Headlined by Italian things, though they have other European foodstuffs as well.
I love the Pear Nectar (thick juice). I used to get the tiny bottles at a different Italian sandwich place, but I found the big one (1L ish) here.
I saw a Nutella-​type but Chestnut spread! My friend said the Cherry jam of the same company is her favorite jam of all. I wish I ate more toast to justify buying them. Maybe I will…
The Deli counter takes up a whole wall. I counted 20 types of olives in there, plus more canned (in glass bottles) ones on the shelves. They also had many types of cheeses, in small portions good for trying out. Also many types of deli meats, though I forgot to take a look at whether they were unique ones.
They had one of those Interac key pads, but I didn’t check if they accept Credit or Debit or both.
