So recently I gave them another chance, and in the passing time I believe there has been an ownership change. The bread is still good, very fresh and airy. But the interior is great as well! It was well seasoned, very tasty, and everything was made fresh to order. The meat was Boars Head, and chips were sold to accompany the sandwiches. Parking is room, but remember we are in bear country - some have been by their dumpsters.

I stopped into Petraroia Deli on a recent weekday and was immediately charmed by this classic…read moreItalian-style deli tucked into a beautiful old red-brick building. From the moment you see the elegant vintage sign and bright red double doors, you know you're in for something authentic. The interior feels warm and welcoming, with a big, clear menu board that makes ordering easy. They have a solid selection of hot and cold sandwiches, breakfast options, and coffee. I went with one of their specials -- it looked like a chicken cutlet or eggplant variation with fresh greens (possibly arugula), roasted red peppers or similar, and what appeared to be a touch of egg or cheese. Whatever it was, it was excellent. The sandwich came on a perfect crusty Italian roll -- the bread was fresh with a great chew and slight crisp on the outside. The fillings were generous, flavorful, and well-balanced. The greens added a nice peppery bite that cut through the richness of the protein and any sauces. It was one of those sandwiches where every bite tastes just as good as the last. Service was friendly and efficient (the guy behind the counter was busy but still took time to make sure everything was right). The place has that old-school deli atmosphere mixed with modern touches -- exactly what you want when you're craving a quality sandwich. If you're in the area and looking for a no-nonsense, delicious deli sandwich made with care, Petraroia Deli is worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more from the hot sandwich list (the Porchetta and Chicken Cordon Bleu both caught my eye). Pro tip: Check their hours -- they appear to be closed on Mondays. *Highly recommend the fried artichoke sandwich. .

There were some token non-perishable groceries, but the main attraction is definitely the sandwiches. The store is on the site of the Burr's Mill, and a few yards from the Sue Grossman Still River Greenway. There even appears to be parking for the Greenway across the street. I had a BEC breakfast sandwich, and it was hot and eggy. The egg was perfectly proportioned to the roll, and would definitely go back for more or to try a lunch sandwich. They do have daily specials - the day I was there they were pushing a buffalo mac and cheese available on a sandwich or as a stand alone dish. The women at the deli were even kind enough to send my dog a piece of cheese when they noticed him being walked in the parking lot (an especially kind gesture because I did not plan to share my breakfast sandwich). They also have an ice cream station that serves local Peaches N Cream ice cream (although not particularly hopping in November). There is indoor and outdoor seating, and parking seems sufficient for the two businesses.

There were some surprise grapes that gave the sandwich some appreciated sweetness. Only note is that it did take some time to get our food and drinks but there was a lot of traction during our visit and what looked to be one person manning the register/making drinks and someone else in the back on the food. Some of us tried their Chai Latte-all agreed that it was quite milky and needed some sugar so there's that. I had the melon cucumber drink, it was good-I think would be lovely in summer weather but not as cucumbery as I would have hoped! Overall would recommend!

But it's still tasteless and watery to me. Adding mayo and seasonings to the sandwich help to a certain extent. But, IMO, the corporate recipe needs to be adjusted so it can meld in. Not the operator's fault. I really like this location. As I have said before, staff works hard. They're welcoming. The product is consistent. If I am going to nitpick, I came around 6pm (dinner rush) and many of the toppings and condiments (and napkins) were gone through and not backed up/ready. But the staff made it pleasant. I've been in their shoes on the line and on the front end in restaurants. So I've know what in the weeds feels like. Can't wait to go back. Maybe even today.

Welllll I finally stopped last week on the way home from picking my son up at basketball camp. It's such a cute spot. They have seating inside and outside. The parking is a little hectic because there aren't many spots available right in front. You can park down to the left and walk. The inside is a bit crowded with seating to the left and right. The girl working at the counter was so sweet and had lots of great energy. Their menu is amazing with lots of choices and some great specials. I had a passion fruit lemonade and it was so good I got another one for the way home. I got a buffalo chicken salad and it was a good size salad! My son got a burger and fries and loved it. The fries were crinkle cut but bigger and seasoned perfectly. I haven't had fries like that before. I look forward to going back and trying more on their menu!
