Francesco Bruno was born in Corigliano Calabria Italy in 1859. He came to America in 1892 to start a new life and have a better opportunity for his family. He was one of the first Italians to settle in Westerly R.I. and opened a fruit / grocery store in the early 1900's on Pleasant Street where the family lived.
Later his son, Rico Francesco Bruno specialized in fresh meats and instantly became a local trademark - Bruno's Meat Market was born. In 1960 Rico passed away and his son Frank Anthony Bruno took over the business. Frank's daughter and son in law, Palma and Medoro Trombino took over the business in 1978 at the present location on Springbrook Road.

Just finished Christmas dinner. We got nearly everything from Westerly Packing. Ordered a tenderloin, half tray of garlic mashed potatoes, half tray of green beans almondine, half tray of sausage and peppers, a dozen of baked stuffed shrimp and two different gravy's, one Gorgonzola red wine and an herb au jus. Everything was incredible! We're sitting here talking about how incredible the meat was and everything else.
Thank you Westerly packing. You are all on your game!! Pick up was ready and seamless, lots of staff working the meat counter and deli counter for pick up, and checkout

I usually go to another butcher shop for cow tongue, but they didn't have it. I called this place and they have a lot.
My first impression of this place was that it's pretty big. I know I only went in for the tongue but I had to check out the place. They got pasta and all kinds of different meats from other places. They even have homemade sausage. So I grabbed myself a smaller packaged sausage of a smoked sweet sausa. I wish I got the big one. It is sooooo good!
Right next to the frozen tongue as other organs and parts! Like a cow heart! I didn't know cows heart was that big lol

I go to Westerly Packing to stock up on some a variety of things that I usually cannot find. The sausage and soupy is the best around and they have a variety of seal packed meats that you cannot readily get at the markets. They also have a deli where that make a some fantastic sandwiches. I've tried the Italian, soupy, and eggplant sandwiches. It is worth the trip and I always fill up the cooler since it's a 40 minute ride back home for me.

I love coming here. The options are great, the meats are fresh.
They carry soupy- that's all that matters!!! Pricing is average. This is the place to stock up on your spices.
Since the expansion I like how they have many options for produce and other such things. The parking is easy since, as well.
Everyone behind the counter is attentive and helpful. Cashiers- meh they can use a little bit of an adjustment.

I love this place! The meats are incredibly fresh and fair priced. Hubby and the guys get their meat here when suppi season comes along. They'll even mix it for you -according to your blend!
After renovations this place looks amazing. It's bright and airy. Wide aisles. I always come here for my spices and seasonings. Especially the expensive stuff like cinnamon sticks and vanilla pods. I can get a large canister of garlic powder for $4 compared to the small bottles at the grocery store for the same amount of money! I just refill my little bottles and keep Westerly Packing spice bottles
