Rastelli's's baseline score
72/100
Good

Rastelli's is currently a dominant force in AI recommendations for premium meat delivery, buoyed by a strong 50-year legacy and widespread editorial praise. While you lead in beef, there is a massive first-mover opportunity to own the seafood and organic poultry conversations before your competitors adapt.
