Local Grocery Mart specializing in cultural foods and drinks

If you want fresh cut meat then try this place. The very kind Algerian owner/butcher cuts everything to order while you wait. His clientele is very diverse and he gets all the beef and lamb from a single farm. He says the chicken is organic.

Save-A-Lot Food Stores is a great grocery store a well kept secret!! Located in the Strip Mall where there is plenty of Parking, can't say the same for grocery carts, you may on a busy day find yourself hustling to get a cart as they run out of them fast. The food is reasonably priced from the veggies to the meats. They have great deals that you will absolutley not find in your Major Groceries. If you have a large family then this store should meet all your needs and more.. Payment: Cash & Debit Card only

Overall, this village market located in Roslindale Square is first class. The location is in the middle of Roslindale Square which makes it very accessible to many. The market carries everything that one can expect from a market. It even has a deli and prepared foods for sale. The only thing that could need improvement is the parking.

What a great guy! - and what a beautiful little market. This is the kind of place that makes city living worthwhile, and the Rosi Square neighborhood such a surprisingly civilized and comfortable part of Boston. Don't be shy about introducing yourself as a new customer - Tony is sincerely warm and friendly. Tony's sausage hot or sweet is great (they freeze well too). He carries the basic cuts of meat, and he'll custom cut as well, although if you're looking for something big like a whole butterflied leg of lamb, it's essential to call ahead. His meats are very good quality. As far as the standard Italian deli meats/cheeses (eg parmesan reggiano, proscuttio, linguica, etc) - I find they're always available. And if anything, he carries so many different choices of Italian dry/canned goods that it can feel intimidating at first. But it's all of superior quality and pretty darn close to supermarket prices The store is not open on Sundays or Mondays (like many small businesses in Rosi Square... or Italy). But Tony's nephew is helping him out these days, so the stores hours have re-expanded a bit for the rest of the week. In particular, he's open on Saturdays for a decent chunk of time, which I find very useful during the summer when the Saturday morning open-air farmer's market in Rosi square is around. Some sausage from Tony's, some basil and a few heirloom tomatoes from the farmer's market, a loaf of fresh peasant bread from Fornax - the makings of a Tuscan feast!
