M & M Perrotti’s Prepared Foods is rooted in a rich family tradition stemming from their parent location, Perrotti’s Quality Meats, in Cranford, New Jersey. Started by two Italian immigrants, Mario and David Perrotti, back in 1967,it has become an icon to the surrounding communities. From its beginnings as a simple butcher shop, Perrotti's has expanded to a mouthwatering resource of prepared foods. Each recipe is subjected to the rigorous palettes of family members before being incorporated into the large array of house-made foods.
