On October 27, 2026, I visited Bonetti Meats in Langley, BC, an old-school Italian-Canadian butcher with prices posted on big wall boards. Its strengths are housemade smoked sausages at a flat $8.75/lb, AA/AAA Alberta beef, and a full Italian grocery in the back.
A whiteboard out front announced that pesto gouda was back, recommended the Colina Veneta cheese from Venice and the vegetarian pasta sauce, and noted the pizza dough and tiramisu were sold out. Inside, the counter wall is lined with ribbons and awards, plus a 2022 certificate of appreciation from the Fraser Valley Italo-Canadian Society.
The tables below are highlights only. For the full pricing, check out the photos below. A few handwritten prices are my best reading and are marked with “~”. Prices are as of my visit and will change.
Beef and veal
All beef is AA or AAA Alberta, according to the board. Steaks run from $13.25/lb chuck up to $45.95/lb tenderloin.

| Pork tenderloin | $8.49 |
| Boneless pork chops | $7.95 |
| Bone-in pork chops | $6.95 |

Chicken and poultry
Stewing hens at ~$3.39/lb and chicken legs at $4.09/lb are the budget picks. The freezers also stock young goose, duck breast and Cornish game hens.

| Bone-in chicken thighs | $5.49/lb |
| Chicken legs | $4.09/lb |

| Box of wings | $80.00 |
Sausages, bacon and ham
Most of Bonetti’s housemade smoked sausages are a flat $8.75/lb. The in-house smoked beef jerky is the splurge at $33/lb.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| In-house smoked beef jerky | $33.00/lb |

| Bacon | $8.99/lb |

| Pork breakfast sausage | $6.50/lb |
| Honey garlic pepperoni | $2.00 each |
I also spotted fresh musetti, a cotechino-style Italian pork sausage, in the fridge.
Deli meats, salami and cheese
The best deal in the deli was prosciutto ends on special at $9.95/lb, about half the price of sliced prosciutto. Cheeses are mostly Italian and Dutch, priced by the pound.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Prosciutto | ~$20.99/lb |
| Genoa salami | $17.99/lb |
| Prosciutto ends (special) | $9.95/lb |
| Mild or hot cacciatore | $9.00 each |
| Pesto gouda | $24.99/lb |
| Provolone | $14.95/lb |
The cheese fridges also hold Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, Pecorino Romano, Piave, Asiago Stagionato, Colina Veneta, caciocavallo, Gruyère and goat gouda, most in pieces priced around $5–15 each.
Bulk boxes, bones and deals
Bonetti’s leans into bulk buying, with a posted discount of 5% off orders over $500 and 10% off orders over $750.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Box of baby back ribs (9 racks) | $9.00/lb |
| 10 lb box of beef patties | $100.00 |
| 10 lb box of breakfast sausage | $59.00 |
| Beef or pork soup bones | $1.00/lb |
The shop also offers custom cutting and wrapping, which the wall board prices at about $1.50/lb.
Ready meals
The freezers are stocked with homemade lasagna, pasta sauces, pies and perogies, most between $6 and $26.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Meat lasagna, large (family size) | $150.00 |
| Meat lasagna, small | $26.00 |
| Bolognese sauce | $11.99 |
| Veronica’s cheese perogies | $11.00 |
| Chicken pies | $6.50 |
Italian pantry and extras
The back room is a small Italian grocery: La Molisana pasta, Italissima sauces and Arborio rice, polenta, panettone, olives, antipasto jars and La Famiglia Italian sodas. A “Grillmaster’s Hub” shelf carries Prairie Smoke & Spice rubs and other locally made seasonings. By the counter were local Heather’s Hazelnuts at $12 a bag, and outside the door a PK60 charcoal grill was for sale at $300 including taxes.
Final thoughts
For everyday shopping, the $8.75/lb housemade sausages, $5.99/lb ground pork and $9.95/lb prosciutto ends stand out. For stocking a freezer, the bulk boxes and the 5–10% bulk discount make Bonetti’s worth the drive. Steaks are priced close to The Butcher’s, but the Italian deli and grocery make this a different kind of stop.
