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 👍😋

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.

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.

Des Moines tradition, a true family business that supplies the Midwest and beyond with the finest sausage in the world. Enjoyed the daily special Villian sandwich Seemed appropriate.

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.

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!!

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 place was suggested by coworkers. I was a little hesitant because it looked like a small grocery store. I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and how helpful the employees were. The sandwiches were the best I’ve ever had (Sorry Mom). I had a sandwich, not on the menu but highly recommended. The John Gotti was mouth watering so good. I couldn’t wait for my next bite. It was very fulfilling. The place was so good I had to go back a second time to have the Double Rueben. Now I need to try the whole menu!
