Our History
How It All Got Started
Back in 1923, our family, the Onofrios, ran a grocery store on Ferry Street and later on Lombard Street in New Haven. Even 70 years ago, the Onofrio name stood for the highest quality produce and meats in the area.
When customers would go on vacation, they would have us ship our meats to where they were staying. That's how much they valued our quality and service. These strong customer relationships and dedication to quality were carried on to Onofrio's Meat Market in 1948 and Onofrio's Fresh Cut in 2002, which is still run by our family today. You can walk in and talk to Eddie or Jimmy at any time (often for hours) about anything that's on your mind.

The Philosophy That Sets Us Apart
Our motto back in 1923 was the same as it is now: un passé. Or, roughly in English, "one cut." Cutting fruits, vegetables and the finest USDA graded meats by hand with the sharpest blade and one swift cut is the only all-natural way to ensure the surface is preserved - not crushed, bruised, or banged up in any way.
This is in direct contrast to machine cut meats and produce. Our method ensures an extended shelf life that is longer than machine cut products, which makes our customers - and yours - very happy.
