Bossone's Sausage & Meat Co · East Utica
WKTV's Joleen Ferris spent St. Joseph's Day at Cafe Caruso on Bleecker Street, where head baker Michael Paniccia credits the sausage to the shop next door: "Sicilian sausage. Thank God for Bossone's, next door, because he makes it fresh for me every year." That is the trade at this East Utica pork store, fresh Italian sausage turned out for home cooks and for the kitchens around it. Come in for the sweet or hot Italian sausage, with deli meats and Italian specialty groceries to round out the order.
