Palermo's on Culver Road in Irondequoit. A mortadella sandwich (medium) with a can of limonata.

Palermo's Meat and Food Market is a meat market. The original is in Irondequoit, just north of the Rochester city limits.

Palermo's specializes in Italian imports, such as pasta, cheeses, and oils. There is also a fresh produce counter as well.

The deli counter is extensive. There is a sandwich station, where you can get a small sandwich in an Italian roll, or a medium or large sub. There are hot and cold sandwich fillings, as well as 6 different kinds of panini.

The menu boasts 17 homemade side dishes, from soups to salads and sides. Antipasto trays are made to order. Italian dinners on the menu range from lasagna, to homemade meatballs and chicken parmesan, to arancini (deep-fried risotto balls stuffed with Sicilian meat sauce, mozzarella, and a sliver of hard-boiled egg). Prime rib sandwiches are available on Thursdays; Friday there is a fish fry.

A dessert counter features cannolis, cream puffs, cakes, and other Italian desserts.

Delivery is available ($15.00 minimum order; $2.00 delivery charge).

The sausage and meats are fresh, and the butcher is pleasant and helpful. I can only find Pittsford Farms' chocolate milk here - delicious. Dessert - 'holy cannoli.' —ZachSmalt

2008-10-09 00:26:34   I found out about Palermo's through rocwiki, and every experience I've had with the butcher there has been extremely positive. I walked in around 9am the day before Valentine's Day, told him I needed two steaks for a special occasion, and he brought back two fresh 8 oz. top sirloin. To date, these steaks remain the best my wife and I have ever had. Places like this are why I am happy to live in Rochester. —Users/bharri7
