The diminutive scale of this salumeria notwithstanding (a.k.a. "pork store" or "Italian deli"), the quality and authenticity of its offerings more than make up for the lack of elbow room. This is the real deal and has been my family's go-to for decades . The guys behind the counter are Italians/Italian-Americans that make what they sell, not some hireling in a hat who can't pronounce the Italian names of things, let alone tell you about them. The goldmine here are the pork products made in-house, as befits a pork store. "Artisanal" is the new buzz-word for what these guys have been doing for decades. The fresh sausage comes in links or pinwheels, either "sweet" (i.e. plain) or "hot" (red pepper), or with cheese & parsley, and then with fennel. I always get my links sweet and my pinwheel with cheese & parsley (my own immigrant family eschews fennel, and I'm not sure how it became standard for "Italian" sausage in American supermarkets to have fennel). The sweet and hot sausages also come dried, along with other dried "salami" (hence "salumeria") made from other parts of the pig, such as soppressata or capocollo. In any case, the key to authentic Italian sausage is the quality and grind of the pork, plus the right amount of fat, meaning a goodly lot of good fat. That blend of pork and pork fat, ground coarse, with the right amount of salt and pepper, is what Italian sausage is all about. Now, where quality and balance is decisive, you need an artisan, and Bari pork store is owned and run by lifelong artisans. Of course, like any Italian-American salumeria it is also a "latticeria" that sells milk products, chief among these fresh mozzarella made in house (they also carry high-quality ricotta they bring in). Then there are cold-cuts (cut fresh and right by seasoned hands), and interesting olives, and house-made salads, and some deep-fried delights, and whatnot. It's a place for impulse shopping, and the eye ranges concupiscently across tightly packed shelves. There's are also some high-end fresh meats offered, in the tradition of old-time Italian butchery, and then imported Italian groceries of all sorts. This is the place I get such odd favorites as Italian chamomile tea (so much better!), and good dried porcini, and Italian dark-meat tuna packed in olive oil, odd pasta shapes, good dried legumes (little dark Mediterranean lentils), and of course staples like olive oil and imported Italian "pelati" (canned whole tomatoes), etc., etc., etc. I was worried Bari would not survive the evolution of this old immigrant neighborhood from Italian to new immigrants, but my family still makes the trek from Bay Ridge to Bensonhurst because there is nothing to match it anywhere in between. While I'm there, I also go down to the old bread store on 18th Ave. & 60th St. and the pastry shop on 70th St. for other old time Italian authenticity. Go check out Bari, and say hi to George for me.

I went here to buy a roast beef sandwich following a friend's recommendation. The sandwich was OK to slightly good. The problem is the price. I understand all business need to make a profit but not randomly charging price. I went there 3 times within 1 week (not much food options in the area). First time was $9 dollars, 2nd time was $10, 3rd time it was $11 which I then question why the price change for the same exact sandwich. The guy's explanation was cost fluctuation. If it was over several weeks during the pandemic, I may understand but within same week? It was 3 different guy that made the sandwich hence the only logical explanation was they charge what they feel like.

Quite frankly the best sausage in bensonhurst. Whether it be the cervellata (cheese and parsley), sweet, hot, or fennel sausage, you can't go wrong! Amazing fresh cutlets. Just the best Italian butcher on 18th Avenue and possibly all of brooklyn!

The sausages and prosciutto are some of my favorites. In 2001/2002 I was deployed to Afghanistan. One of our great friends and platoon leaders Joe Degliuomini was from Brooklyn. His sweet mama would go to the store and buy us a whole prosciutto, hard salami and whole provolone cheese and mail them to us! The guys there sent us T-shirts and swag with every package. We love every minute of it. Knowing how these times are hard on family operators, I was reminded of the kindness of Mrs. Degliuomini, and the owners of Bari Pork Store. Let’s get out and support our small businesses!

Awesome Italian market in the heart of Bensonhurst, the original Italian neighborhood! I think it's been around since 1974. This place has a great selection of traditional and hard to find Italian groceries, meats, cheeses, and other products. Everything is so fresh and authentic. I'm glad this place is still around, I hope it keeps on going for many more years.

The best of Italy, in America. No one makes better sausage, no one has better mozzarella, olives, or cured meats. I will travel over an hour just to stock up and continue to shop here!
