The Italian rope sausage is the centerpiece of the New York street fair and the family backyard. These are the heavy, continuous coils that bring everyone to the table. We hand-coil these daily in our shop, using the same recipes we’ve shared with our neighborhood since 1989. Whether you are grilling for a crowd or simmering a pot for Sunday dinner, these ropes are made to hold their flavor and moisture from the first bite to the last.
We offer our butcher-grade rope sausage in five distinct varieties to suit every family tradition.
Francesco’s Tip
Defrost your rope in the refrigerator for a full 24 hours before cooking. To keep the meat juicy, cook the coil slowly over medium heat until it reaches an **internal temperature of 160°F**. **Never puncture the casing with a fork or knife while it is on the heat.** When you prick the skin, you lose the savory juices that make this sausage special. Keep the coil intact so the flavor stays inside until the family is ready to eat.
