"Love you with all my heart Return and always be My melody of love" (Polish Love Song - as sung by Ivan Putski, Bobby Vinton and others) What a fun time we had walking through the aisles and gawking at the deli counter at Fils Polish American Deli! There are all sorts of Polish canned goods, groceries, baked goods and candies, a big freezer chock full of pierogies, soups and the like, and a deli counter with as many varieties of kielbasa and hams you've ever seen. Fils sells five hot lunch specials for under $10, and I ordered Special #1 -a Kielbasa sandwich on a roll with onions, peppers, mustard and a pickle for $8.99. Bożena, our charming server, said it would take a while to prepare, and I soon smelled the kielbasa and vegetables being freshly grilled in the back. You see, the sandwich was freshly made to order as we waited. It was delicious! Split grilled kielbasa with those veggies and mustard on a very fresh roll. Quite a feast for just $8.99. We left with a container of chicken spread, a package of frozen fruit and cheese pierogis, a package of frozen potato pancakes, an envelope of mushroom barley soup, and that great kielbasa sandwich. Those six examples of Polish deliciousness ran $26.82. I love little ethnic delis like Fils, and I bet you will too.

Store aisles...so many items!!

I checked Yelp to see if there were any good restaurants in the area, and happened to see a Polish Deli! I thought I had to drive to New Britain or Ansonia for Polish food. Tons of items for sale. I ordered a kielbasa sandwich to go and picked up frozen cheese and sauerkraut pierogis, potato pancakes, some kielbasa and sauerkraut, blueberry crepes, and some rye bread. I'll update once I try all the frozen items, but I had a few bites of the kielbasa sandwich with onions and peppers and it was very tasty!!

Great shop. Many Central European food stuff. Also have a small menu to eat inside the store. Maybe the best kielbasa in New England

Perogies were great. Fast service and it was fun to poke around and see what else is sold on the shelves.

The pierogies are authentic and delicious! Can't beat the $5.50 price tag either! Will definitely be coming back to try out the kielbasa!

Every now and then, we get a hankering for a unique night out and neighborhood ethnic food. We…read morewanted to hit the Norman Rockwell exhibit at the New Britain Museum of Art (well worth it) and Little Poland for pierogis and other classics. Belvedere was the best reviewed but we found the total experience disappointing despite some bright spots. First off, Little Poland has a reputation for food not warm, chatty service. Even with a reservation, the Belvedere staff seemed unprepared and almost disappointed we showed for our late reservation. We waited an inordinate amount of time for a larger table to fit us was cleared, without anyone taking a drink order or doing much of anything. Drinks were small and watery. Things perked up with the best borscht we've tasted, although it's served warm not the traditional cold. The Caesar salad was huge and tasty but not sure why it's on a polish menu. The pierogis were just ordinary; light on filings and served with absolutely nothing else; they were also lukewarm. The Galumpki was more generous and tasty but the potato pancake with goulash was a complete miss. The pancake while large was over fried and acrid at the edges and you were hard pressed to find a decent chunk of beef or piece of carrot in the meager drizzle of goulash on top. $26.95 for this? The atmosphere was a bit sterile and didn't have that old world feel we were looking for; Miami vice and 80's music videos on the bar TV didn't help. We can't really recommend this spot to others.

I recently had lunch for the first time at Belvedere because my long time go to spot in Little…read morePoland closed. This is so close to a 4.5 Star review. There were just a few things that were a touch off. The restaurant is divided into at least two parts. I never made it into the second room. The first room was fairly nice. High ceilings. Red brick walls. Large-tiled floor. There was movie related art. I ate a quick lunch alone, but there was a table of apparent business colleagues dining there as well. Service was good. I don't usually do this because I feel like there are better ways to order in a Polish restaurant, but I ordered the Polish sampler. It was fairly typical. Hunter's Stew. Stuffed Cabbage. 2 Potato Pierogi. Kielbasa. And Potato Pancakes. The flavors of the Hunter's Stew and Stuffed Cabbage were good, but both dishes needed to be hotter IMO. The large potato pancakes were really crispy and enjoyable in parts, but they could have been more done towards the middle. They were cooked through, just not ideal. The pierogis were about average for a nice Polish restaurant. The kielbasa was good quality, but could have been a touch less done on the outside for me. I'll definitely return to Belvedere. I'll order one dish next time, as the various components of a sampler like this require great coordination so that everything is peak. Side note. They had amazing bread that you could buy for home use. I don't know the names of Polish breads, but it was nice-crispy on the outside and soft and fresh inside. 4 Stars

This business has had a lot of publicity in the local press, so we *had* to try it, even though…read moretheir license is only beer and wine. (I'm a lush, if you've not read the rest of our writing on Yelp.) We're always looking for a new place to have a bite -- and several drinks. This place soft-opened a few weeks ago, and is now officially open. One must enter through the front door of Pol-Mart, a good delicatessen and Polish specialty store (I prefer Zieliniak, down the street, but I'll forgive the Pol-Mart people, because they're creative.) Apparently the space upstairs used to be a dusty gift shop. It's a lovely little cafe with a baby grand piano, a stage, and some ambitious lighting effects. They currently offer live entertainment on only Fridays - but have plans for more. The decor is very Old Country, but handsome and clean. The appointments (glassware, cutlery) are of high quality. We love that - we love a professional restaurant that doesn't cut corners. There's a great beer selection - not vast, but good. Wines are limited and cheap, but not very good, but a good value. I bought a glass, then a bottle, of the serviceable Riesling from Zum, in Germany. Best Buddy had his usual Bud Light. We're delighted they have domestics for him, because there are too many places in town (craft breweries, Polish restaurants) which offer only hops-heavy brews. These folks have you covered. The menu is a delight! There are two different cold-cut platters, either for one ($7-$9) or for two ($10-$12), with bread and pickles to accompany. A "French" platter contained only cheeses. It's all gotta be good because they source all the charcuterie from the deli downstairs! A modest offering of the most popular Polish foods appears on the menu (Pierogies, savory and sweet; stuffed cabbage, and the like -- and salads, by themselves or with a grilled chicken breast or a piece of salmon). We didn't try that -- we opted instead for hamburgers. The waitress, who was delightful, actually asked "why are you coming to a Polish restaurant for *hamburgers?*" I told her that our starting-out place on Broad Street in Little Poland, the Belvedere, had begun to close every Wednesday. I left the new People's Bank, and expected to go across the street to have a Scotch or three -- and then recalled that the bartender had lamented that the ownership decided to take a day off on Wednesdays. So this brought us to this little cafe. (I missed the Scotch, but it's okay). Soft music played in the background, and out the window one could view the enormous cathedral that graces the middle of Broad Street. The whole deal, three beers, a glass and a bottle of wine and two very nice burgers was only $50. It was an off-peak time, so I had to get up to summon our server twice, but she was very, very nice and very professional. She encouraged us to visit on a Friday night when they have the live music. Go here - it's a great place, trying hard, and needs to establish itself. There aren't enough places in New Britain to get a drink at lunch, and that's another (selfish) reason why we love the place.
