Arena and Sons
Ash St. In Hopkinton

Arena & Sons is a great butcher shop on Ash St. In Hopkinton. It's really off the beaten path and you'd never find it unless someone told you to go there. I bought 2 excellent prime rib steaks from them last week. The quality and pricing are excellent. You have to order in advance.

Just asking but isn't this the animal slaughter house in Hopkinton? Well, if it is, you can be sure the meat is fresh. Just a tad to close to the moo for me.

Cintolo's Market
If you're ever looking for the freshest and best Italian sausage around, try Cintolo's Market at 371 Grant Street in Framingham. It's a very small, family run market that doesn't do a whole lot of grocery business but has been around for over 30 years. Mr. Cintolo makes fresh Italian sausage every week. It's outstanding. You can call to find out what day he's making it and pick it up fresh made (he also has some frozen). . It's great to support small local businesses.

Not only does Louie Cintolo make the best homemade sausages around he has been a town meeting member for years. A call to Louie is important because he likes to make sure he has enough for his regular customers and you need to let him know if you want sweet or hot.
This is a must try! He's located on the conner of Bishop and Hartford St.

Sudbury Farms
Rt. 20 Sudbury
I always use Sudbury Farms and I've never been disappointed. They have great roasts, and their boneless ribeye steaks from the counter are to die for. Not the healthiest. If you want a lower fat steak try the flank - great for marinating. Just cook it fast and close to the fire.
Good Luck.
