    Italian Combo

    Good food nice service. Rolls are loaded which is great. Place is pretty small but nice parking. It's cash only which kind of sucks but It's worth it

    Great soup
    Lauren O.

    Stopped in for lunch. There's a few stools you can eat on but it's mostly grab and go. Friendly counter service. I got a bacon egg and cheese on an English muffin, very good and a lot of egg! I also heard people talking about the pasta fagioli soup so I had to try it, so tasty on a cold day! My boyfriend ordered a chicken cutlet sub with roasted red peppers and mozz which he loved and was huge. I believe it was the home run grinder. They don't accept credit cards FYI!

    Porchetta Sangwich w Au Jus

    Great Bacon Egg & Cheeses, along with the Freshly fried chicken cutlets & Porchetta!! Those 3 are my go to but they have an array of Italian specialties, daily sandwich specials, and fresh bread from the Bronx. Home Plate is the real deal.

    It's not too far from where I live so I go there sometimes. I like the short and sometimes long drive to this place. The food is ok.

    Butcher's Best Market - Roasted beef and Swiss on hard roll

    I stopped by during my travels looking for a sandwich and just loved the whole set up of the place…read more There is a butcher area for all kinds of meats, all looked fresh and of great quality. Customers were coming in to pick up their meat orders. The deli area offers a variety of cold and hot sandwiches, salads, sides. Great selection. I ordered a roast beef and Swiss on a hard roll, with coleslaw and horseradish sauce. It was fantastic! The meat was flavorful and plentiful and that homemade slaw added a great little kick. They also have baked breads and goodies. I left with a sourdough bread and a choc chip cookie. There are some tables outside to eat. They also sell unwashed, unrefrigerated chicken eggs from a local farm. So great! I did buy these, but somehow they didn't make it into my bag which I did not discover until I got home, but other than that, service was super friendly and helpful. So refreshing to have quality customer service. The store is well organized, nicely decorated, and extremely clean. I recommend a stop in and I will make a point to return as soon as possible.

    This is the best place in town to get really high-quality meat. Steve and John can be found there…read morejust about every day and they are two of the nicest people in town. They care about the town, community and the quality of meat they provide. The prices might be a little bit higher than what you would find at a local grocery store, but I promise you it's worth the money. They make everything in-house from bacon, breakfast sausage, steak tips, and they have the best pork chops around. When I have people over for dinner this is almost always where I will go to pick up what I need for dinner.

    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.

    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.
