"We moved from NYC recently and I’m a trained cook that worked throughout the food industry for years... I am BEYOND thrilled to have found M&M Perrotti’s. I cook constantly for my family of 4 and for friends, so I went into Perrotti’s for its excellent meats. I walked in and saw a fantastic selection of prepared foods and sampled 4 different dinners right off the bat because of how well prepared they looked, how nicely packaged they were, and the clear ease of preparing them with instructions printed on the labels. I have a bottomless stomach so I heated up all 4 that same night to sample and my husband, who after being married to a professional cook for almost 2 decades isn’t easily impressed, stopped after the second bite and said “where did you get this??” Nothing they make misses the mark from chicken pot pie to ravioli. Complimented the owner, Mario (the nicest), and he told me I had to have the eggplant parm. I purposefully had been waiting on that because it’s my favorite... well, I just heated it up and Mario was right it’s THE BEST EGGPLANT PARM I HAVE EVER HAD. I actually ate half the pan and signed on to write this review. It’s that good. So incredibly tender and well seasoned I am cutting through multiple layers of thinly sliced eggplant with a butter knife. There’s no acrid aftertaste that some eggplant parms leave. It’s honestly perfect. I’m going to stock up on these next week because I want to be able to have it as my comfort go to. Also as someone formerly from the food industry, I love these guys as butchers. They took such great care of me when I was looking for chicken bodies for stock. I am going to do a dry aged ribeye for my husband and I soon. And the biggest thing they are meticulously clean. I love to watch kitchens clean down before and after service and at close because it makes me feel confident in the food safety standards. I watched these guys go over every single surface. Love love love this place and stocking up here is going to get me through 2020."
