This is the first time I’ve finally enjoyed sausage without dissecting it to remove the fennel seed. I’m very happy with my order.
Nicholas B.
Excellent product
Cornelius W.
Sausage was too skinny. I ordered links and got rope. I was expecting thick link sausages
Mary Ann F.
First time ordering online, we always came to the store.
This was easy and we'll definitely order online again!
Raymond S.
Great tasting sausage
Jason F.
I have purchased this sausage before in regular size links and enjoyed the flavor, however this is the first time ordering the thin links and they look delicious. I have vacuum sealed them in 1lb packages for convenience, and plan on using these to make my sausage and peppers recipe, can’t wait ! Thank you
Ronald C.
I thought I had ordered the sweet with fennel and other spices but I didn’t. Wish I had. I screwed up
Gabe G.
Great tubular meat
Scott B.
I haven't tried it yet.
I have tried the hot Italian sausage rope and the breakfast sausage
Jackie B.
Sausage is absolutely delicious. Will buy again for sure!
Vickie H.
The sweet Italian sausage was a hit at our family's annual cookout. Don't get me wrong, I would have given it a 5-star rating, except the Esposito's hot Italian sausage I also ordered was just so incredibly good, the mild Italian sausage just didn't have the same YUM factor. Still good quality and I'll order again!
James C.
Wonderful sausage!
Robert C.
This is my homemade pizza with your sausage crumbled on top.
Thomas H.
It was very good, but I was wondering why "no Fennel"
I like fennel!
glenn r.
All good!
Thanks!
Allyson S.
I wasn't paying attention when I originally ordered the hot italian sausage. The flavor is SO good but once it was unthawed I had to eat it and give it away so it wouldn't go bad. I'll know next time and there def will be a next time.
Thomas L.
Sorry to say that the sweet sausage was very Blane not tasting any spice.
Michael F.
Great product.well worth the price.quick and excellent shipping .
Can’t go wrong with Esposito!!!
Ann M.
I ordered 10 lbs. of sweet Italian link sausage, when the package arrived it was thin link which I had never seen before. I was not happy as I was expecting regular thick link The thin link looked like breakfast sausage. When I contacted customer service, they made it right by issuing me a gift card.
I am very happy that it worked out well. I will definitely order again and recommend it to my friends.
Kenneth F.
Love the selection with no fennel
Suzy G.
This was a Mother’s Day gift from my son and daughter in law! It grills ups so nicely! Not salty or greasy. Just right! Paired with a caprese pasta salad for Memorial Day. Sooo good!
Pamela C.
Great on the grill!!!
Pamela C.
Ordered online. First order arrived cold but not frozen. Customer service gave me a credit and I ordered them again. This time they were between thawed and frozen. I put into freezer right away. Have not cooked them yet.
Joe D.
There was a problem with my shipment and customer service would not address my concerns. The sausage was unwrapped upon arrival and severely freezer burned.
Richard W.
I found the sausage to look good. I have not tried it yet. My 3 star review had to do with all the follow-ups I had to make about my order. It took numerous emails to get the order moving. I had to email help at least 3 times and the order delivered 3 weeks after the original confirmation that the order was in process. This so far is the problem I had and another reason why it hasn't been tasted yet. It missed the party I was having to serve it.
John H.
Wonderful to deal with...delicious!
Jane Ellen A.
Absolutely delicious! Grilled with peppers and onions!
Terri T.
Truly appreciate sausage links without fennel. Maybe for those of us who can't eat fennel, trying adding some fresh garlic. I haven't had a good garlic sausage since my butcher retired.
Christine T.
So tasty!
Daniela R.
I was a little disappointed, since the sausage arrived with some freezer burn. I’m sure if it was fresher, it would hav even five stars
JAMES C.
I don't think I received the correct order. I think I ordered sausage with fennel. I also wouldn't order chicken sausage. It is also thin rope.
CJ J.
I enjoy fennel in my sausage. Otherwise, it was great
Jill C.
Love it in the grill!
F G.
Very tasty
Clyde E.
I was very disappointed in what was sent. Packing was perfect, product not so much. Expected link Pork sausage but received roll. OK no problem. The Chicken sausage was a surprise. I would never have ordered had I known that. Tasteless. Hope my dog likes it. Pork was very good but milder than I expected. I will stick to local Country sausage. I shall not be ordering again.
tim m.
I used it in a red sauce I made with fresh garlic and carrots. Awesome!!.
Reese F.
Too thin, thought the sausage would be thicker. Without the fennel the taste is off
charles s.
Hard to separate the way it’s pack too skinny of sausage hard to cook
Pat J.
Sausage arrived perfectly and was delicious!
Cheryl P.
Used some of it in my sauce and my husband loved it!
Anthony C.
Absolutely delicious
Dominic B.
I much prefer the sausage with fennel
Maria G.
Thank you
Patrick B.
Best sausage anywhere. Living in Florida you have limited options. Delivered overnight and always great.
Lorraine S.
My daughter found your company as I tirelessly searched for another company locally who made no fennel sausage after the company I used quit producing it to my great dismay . But what a great find ! We love the sheep casing it give a nice snap to the sausage . We’re very excited by the great find of your company ! It’s delicious Sausage !
Max R.
The sausage was good just is a lot smaller than I was expecting.
Craig B.
We received the package and it was solid frozen with ice crystals all over. We had to chip the sausages apart and the paper between layers wanted to stick to the sausages so that we had to pull small bits of paper off the individual sausages. We broke half a dozen sausages in this process. Not a good start.
We have eaten a few of the sausages now in spaghetti sauce and they were good. Not sure that I would buy this again.
It would be good if you sold smaller packages for those of us with small families. It will be months before we eat up what have already sent.
Frank C.
Great sausage as always I will definitely be a life long customer ❤️
Jennifer B.
It's hard to find Italian sausage without fennel. This was perfect!
Dave W.
Packaging was great. Still arrived frozen. Could not have been shipped better. I guess I’m just not a sweet sausage guy. Not my favorite.
Wes P.
We absolutely loved the sweet Italian sausages!! Quick and easy to prepare and best we've ever made at home.
Giulia V.
Finally an Italian sausage without fennel!!
I grew up in Italy and the sausages were without fennel. Great job, Esposito!
Bruce S.
It appears others have all ready noted the issue with the packaging. Product is fantastic, but the 5lb box of frozen sausage took about a half hour to get it pried out and reapportioned (breakfast and sweet sausage).
Going to have to pass on future orders until I can get 1 ib cryovac packages.
Dennis D.
Excellent sausages. No stores in our area of Florida can come close to the taste and the quality. Very highly satisfied.
Martin P.
My favorite. Best quality.
Ed G.
The sausage was tasty and had excellent texture. I only wish that the three ropes were not frozen together and difficult to unstick from each other. Maybe an individual wrap would make it easier to use one and keep the others frozen. Overall an excellent product.
Jason F.
Best sausage ever, searched high and low for high quality Italian sausage links without fennel and finally found it here! Received sausage and it was packaged perfectly on dry ice! Keep up the great work!
Maryanne K.
I expected the sausage to be more flavorful.
Tom H.
Love these - some of the best. I wish you could get smaller packages though. This is a lot of sausage for one person
gene m.
Excellent, as always. Have been ordering for years and never disappointed. Absolutely the best!
betty k.
I had ordered the sausage, my second time and at the same time I ordered hot dogs from another vendor.
I am so pleased when I opened the box, the sausages were frozen solid. Like they were taken out of the freezer. I know they were in transit for 3 days, so keep up the great job.
My hot dogs were defrosted, warm and had to be discarded.
I will be ordering again, when I have eaten what I ordered.
Thank you
Betty
Bonnie Z.
Tastes good.
Tiffany K.
The sweet Italian sausage, Luganica style without fennel, was delicious! Everyone loved it!
John F.
Just like I Remember from the old neighborhood. Great taste. Just wish you had it in normal size links instead of thin links. I would still recommend it.
john a.
delicious flavor period!!
Sonya H.
As usual…. It’s delicious!
Chatles
Was ok
Karen S.
Personally, I can't imagine Italian sausage without fennel, but a family member for which I was making lasagna has stomach issues when eating fennel. I was surprised at how good this sausage tasted, and there was almost no fat, also a surprise. I'll be back to try other products.
Nancy R.
While we love the sausage, this order arrived totally frozen solid and I could not separate to freeze. Customer service was great and gave me a give certificate good for one year. I will be ordering again.
cindy v.
the wait was worth it - they were so delicous- so authentic - came out so juicy and luciou - we cant stop talking about them - i made a tomatoe pie with sausage and we put some in our sauce - i dont have an after picture because we after we served them - there was nothing left !!!
Charles S.
Best taste since my grandmother made sausage 60 years ago. The flavors were the same the taste was that juicy not dry . you could taste the ingredients.
Sonya H.
This sausage is very similar to the northern Italian Luganega that my family eats when we are in Italy. It’s flavorful without being greasy, the casing is crispy… feels like being in Italy. I have ordered it again and plan to keep it stocked in my freezer from now on!
Susan
Traditional Italian sausage with the genuine New York taste. You will enjoy every piece
Roder R.
I've been buying Esposito's Sweet Italian Sausage with no fennel for decades, and it's been consistently fantastic. Make several trips to Italy and purchased the same sausage and Esposito's matches what they make in Italy
Roder Russo
leon p.
I LOOKED AROUND FOR THIN SAUAGE ( LUGANICA ) NO ONE HAS IT BUT THESE GUY GREAT TASTE NO PROBLEM COOKING IT W/O FENNEL I LIKE IT LIKE THAT I'AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE FOOD GREAT SERVICE
Stephanie C.
The sausage is very tasty. Unfortunately all was frozen, and very hard to separate. Can't use 5 lbs of sausage for one dinner. Would be nice if the layers were better separated, so you can use one layer or two at a time!!
Taste however is great!
Debra H.
Was recommended by a friend from NYC, was best Italian sausage I ever ate.
john m.
the best
JoAnne G.
Loved the sausage, brought back memories of our NY roots. Unable to find it in Phoenix, so i was so nice to get your name from a friend.
EDWARD N.
Arrived nice and frozen, well packaged. Tastes just like the sausage rolls I used to get from an Italian butcher in Tampa, Florida. Great on a hoagie bun and baked beans!
Debra B.
Esposito's did an outstanding job of responding to a weather related shipping issue! Our sausage shipment was delayed several days due to snow on the west coast. I wrote them a note, mentioning my concern that the meat looked like it might have been thawed at one point. Esposito's immediately sent out another order, which arrived on time, well packaged, and frozen. Thank you!
We are looking forward to using the sausage in some new Italian recipes!
Glenn P.
Very good
Patrick B.
Moved to Florida years ago but always order sausage from Esposito. Have shared with my friends and they agree best sausage they have ever had.
Helen R.
Delicious! Looking forward to warmer weather so we can cook it on the grill!
Jacopo S.
Really great packaging, sausage arrived in perfect condition.
The quality of the product is quite high - as an Italian I always wondered why "Italian sausage" here always has fennel seeds, which overpower the flavor.
This sausage has no fennel and it really tastes like Italian sausage!
The only tricky thing is that it's a 5lb box with three wheels that are all in the same box, so it's a bit hard to unfreeze only 1lb at a time
Egla
Great product
Marianita M.
Finally found a delicious pork sausage sans fennel! Just wished it came in links.
Judith H.
Amazing!! Can’t get anything like it in north ATL!! Love that y’all ship!
Robert S.
The sausage was awesome!
Teresa C.
We are quite disappointed that Esposito's discontinued Italian link sausage without fennel. Rope sausage is not conducive to cooking in a spaghetti meat sauce. Most butchers will accommodate customers' needs. However, we will continue to purchase other items that you feature. BTW...your rep, Ryan, provides excellent customer service and should be commended. Tony C.
Joe S.
Their customer service is the best I have encountered in a very long time. Thank you Nikki for all your follow through with my issue.
Burkard J.
worth the extra cost
Blaise B.
The sausage is awesome - flavor, texture and no fennel!!!! LOL. I usually like to make Sausage and Peppers with much more larger chunks however, this was one thin-link rather than multiple pieces of thicker-links. It's all good, I will be ordering more and other items.
Arlene H.
Sausage done right! I find the seasonings are perfect and the meat is top notch.
Absolutely, unequivocally --- love Esposito’s sausage.
In every meal the flavor & texture has been exactly what I was hoping it to be.
Thank you.
Arlene H; from Vermont (originally from Brooklyn, NY)
Jamie C.
real good on the grill
Joan M.
Delicious sausage and excellent shipping!
Martin P.
It was awesome!
Donna L.
This sausage is terrific, flavorful and the only one I will use. Great product!
Strader P.
Was great grill worthy but I like fennel in my sausage!!!!
Susan M.
We love Esposito’s - just look how fresh and the superb condition the sausage arrives in! We are so grateful to have Esposito’s in our lives now. It’s is hard to find the quality from New York in South Carolina. Forever customers!
