Hangover
Alyssa D.

Quick spot to pick up an egg, cheese and bacon on a roll in the AM. It's cash only and sometimes there is a line but it goes quick. Don't let that deter you! Bacon is delish - I always the get the hangover which has a hashbrown on it!

I have to bring my daughter to a Saturday morning gymnastics class around the corner & I had looked up a great place to have breakfast nearby while I waited for her to finish tumbling and this was the first place that popped up. Last time I drove by, there was a line out the door so long, I keep on driving. Today when I happened to drive by ~ no line! I knew this place would be good bc I could smell the grill when I got out of my car. Also, it took about 5 minutes for the cook to whip up five sandwiches, letting me know that the line last time was not because of show service, but a well-deserved reputation for delicious food. Just mind the steps when leaving...

Bacon egg and cheese on a Portuguese roll
Gina F.

Stopped by this cute little place on our way to Maine after staying at a local hotel overnight. As I perused the internet for a local place to have breakfast the night before, this place was one of the few to have a functioning page to check out the menu. We were not disappointed-the workers were super nice and the food was delicious! The price was extremely reasonable-we we're shocked to get four drinks and two amazing breakfast sandwiches for under $20! The Portuguese rolls were fresh and tasty. Great way to begin our trip!

This place screams "Local!" Mostly regulars coming in for a cheap breakfast sandwich and a cup of coffee mixed with a 'hello' from the owner and staff. Want a bacon egg and cheese sandwich? Only $4. Ham egg and cheese? $3.75. Bacon is good, egg was a tad over fried, but it's ok because the atmosphere just makes you feel like life is good and now that your belly is full, you can start your day. Beware, though, cash only.

The Bronx Experience in Shelton If you want the soul of…read moreArthur Avenue without the trip to New York, Gaetano's Deli in Shelton is the undisputed heavyweight champion. Founders Guy and Milanno actually got their start on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx back in 1990, and they've successfully transplanted that high-energy, authentic Italian spirit right into Fairfield County. The Foundation: Arthur Avenue Bread The bread at Gaetano's is legendary. They source it directly from the Bronx, ensuring that every sandwich starts with a foundation of beautiful, crusty sesame seed bread. * The Texture: It has that signature "snap" on the outside while remaining airy and soft on the inside. * The Flavor: The toasted sesame seeds add a nutty depth that complements the salty Italian meats and tangy vinegars perfectly. The Gold Standard Chicken Cutlets Many places claim to have good cutlets, but Gaetano's cooks theirs to absolute perfection. * The "Kovac's Special": Often cited as their flagship sandwich, it features a chicken cutlet so tender and well-seasoned it stands out even when paired with heavy hitters like prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, and broccoli rabe. * Crispy & Light: The breading is never greasy; it's thin, golden, and provides the perfect crunch in every bite. Unbeatable Value and Atmosphere Despite the premium quality and the "Bronx-to-CT" logistics, the value here is incredible. You can find several of their least expensive--yet still massive--sandwiches (like the John Wayne or various parmigiana rolls) starting around $11.50 to $14.00, with many hearty heroes hovering right at that $15.00 mark. The service team is a well-oiled machine. They are fast, friendly, and carry that classic deli "swagger" that makes the atmosphere feel alive. It's loud, it's bustling, and it's unapologetically Italian.

I imagine this place is absolutely slammed on weekday lunch. We went in mid afternoon on a Saturday…read moreso the wait wasn't too bad. I went for the kovac special...a hero loaded with chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, prosciutto, and sautéed broccoli rabe. I added balsamic and it really set it off. All of their food is fresh and the bread is unreal. I believe they get it daily from Arthur Ave. My wife got the Stratford & main which was just chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, balsamic and roasted peppers. Only nitpick was that we felt a little rushed to order, and maybe we would have gotten something different but you really can't go wrong with anything at this place. The shop is loaded with various Italian imported foods, but didn't see any tables to sit and eat inside, so be sure to grab & go. Highly recommend.

Tried this deli for the first time…read more PARKING - while on a busy Main Street they have some parking spots available so you should be in good shape OUTSIDE - they have these tinted windows so from the outside you can't see the inside. One reason it took me so long to try AFFILIATION - I learned that this place is a second location for massiminos in Bridgeport which is a pretty Italian place in its own right ENTRANCE - as you come in you can see the main counter in the back. There are a few tables around if you want to sit and eat/drink coffee. AMBIANCE - it's a very clean and deli looking decor. DRY PRODUCTS - they have a small selection of Italian items from dried pasta to jarred sauces. Typical brands that you see in supermarkets or other Italian stores. There are a few imported from Italy brands but I'm no expert to say yea or nay PIZZA - they have at the counter a pizza station where you can a buy by the slice. They looked pretty good with a lot of variety. COFFEES - they have regular plus they make expresso, macchiatos, lattes etc. I tried the macchiato which was excellent PASTRY- they gave a few at the counter. The breakfast buns and treats. I noticed a crème pastry which I tried. It was OK but in reality the pastry part was super good but the inside crème would have been better if it was like a Boston cream filling SERVICE - definitely 5+ stars. The employees couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Very congenial with small talk. Not the usual cold QSR attitude you get from the fast food chains PRICES - I only got coffee and a pastry that was over $8. I'd say average or a little on the higher side but I didn't look at the menu on the screen too closely although it was a little difficult to see.

I'm going to be fair here and preface this with the fact that I haven't been back to this place in…read morequite some time. Nothing much has changed... it is still cash or check, which back in 2017 didn't really phase me... but I'm pretty surprised this hasn't changed. I knew the menu prices could never have been what they were nearly 7 years ago but I was surprised even when taking this into account. A chicken parm sandwich plus a peace tea (which really should be somewhere between $0.99 and $1.99) ended up at $18.35. I was totally floored. The $6 sandwich (+ toppings) has nearly tripled in price. $2 per extra topping? I really can't fathom $2 for a little bit of some topping (onions, peppers, whatever). I know things are different but it isn't like I've been under a rock for 7 years. A chicken parm grinder depending on where you go is about $8-$12. I can name 5 delis off the top of my head that can back this up. Let's get to the sandwich itself. It was bad. Way too much breading and soggy. So so soggy. This sandwich had been wrapped up for less than 10 minutes and I nearly pulled out a fork and knife to eat it. I'm so sad. I gave this place 5 stars before. I won't be returning I'm sorry to say. PS: He wasn't the nicest either. I know you don't work for free. But I do have a right to ask about the price.
