I'm originally from Texas, living in Missouri and married a Des Moines woman. She has always talked about Grazianos. So when we visited, she had to get some Italian sausage and make Hot Sausage Sandwiches. I don't know if this is a local thing or just a family staple, but it was great. Then I found the Grazianos olives. Havnt found any olive that delicious. So our Christmas trip up we came to the store and walked out with 10 lbs of sausage and 15 lbs of olives! I love the store. I will definitely be coming every chance I get!

Great, historic grocer with a meat/cheese counter that is the envy of every story in Iowa. We stop whenever we're in town. Simply the best!

A staple of Des Moines, IA and the Italian-American community. Love walking in the door and smelling all the spices. Always reminds me of when I was young (mostly the same experience). Had to load up on the cold-cuts: pepperoni, dry salami, dry coppicola, soppresata (spicy) and a little pepper-jack cheese. LOL, and fortunately there was still some sliced bread and wandas left (late afternoon can be hit or miss). Only bad thing, the prices keep creeping up. However, it’s more of a treat for us, so not as bad to swallow.

I come from Kansas City to shop here so needless to say I love the place.I'm sad to say my last visit was disappointing. I ordered thinly sliced imported prosuito and it was thicker than usual and not seperated like usual, When I got home it was mess all stuck together. I was wrapping shrimp and so I had to go buy new locally.Its a small think maybe but disappointing.

Amazing Italian market. You will find items you did not know you needed as well as items you did not know existed. The deli counter is top notch. Best sandwiches in DSM.

Man, I’ve eaten food all over the world but nothing compares to the Italian sausage at Grazianos! Maybe I love it because I grew up on the southside, but I don’t think that’s the only reason because just about everyone loves it no matter where they’re from. Capacola is awesome too. Great staff. Cool atmosphere.

The best Italian sausage you can find! Everything is delicious. They also sell fresh cut sandwiches and have a special sandwich every day. Highly recommend if looking to make an Italian dish!

This is a family tradition. My husband's grandpa grew up with the Grazianos and the family has always gone there. The sausage isunmatched! I recently discovered their sauce! Wow! My husband still makes the sauce his grandma made, but I keep some of the Graziano sauce on hand for quick meals or to make braciole. Excellent!

Excellent selection of house meats, sauces, and pastas as well as domestic and import cheese and wine ? ?? and all the other little goodies you'd like from a small grocer. Add to that tasty sandwiches (make sure you get there at least half an hour before close) and friendly service and it's a recipe for awesome ??

Love this grocery store! When you first enter all the good spice smells hit you. The meat counter is fantastic and also has a variety of cheeses. Shopping at a store that has been around since 1912 is a unique experience! And of course make sure you get the Italian sausage!!
