The sandwiches are good, don't try and look at the menu online, it's outdated. Two of the three sandwiches I wanted, he no longer offers. Other then that, you got a good amount of meat in your sandwich and it's delicious. read more

"Will you come with me? Won't you come with me? Come hear Uncle John's Band" (Grateful Dead) We picked up two sandwiches on a hard roll for lunch a few days ago. There's a small menu board up on the wall behind the counter that is pretty hard to read, we had better luck reading the hand written paper signs taped to the showcase. A Ham and Cheese and an Italy's Best (Genoa salami, Proscuitto, Cappicola, fresh mozzarella, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, roasted red peppers, hot cherry peppers, and oil and vinegar) were $8.50 each. As we waited for the sandwiches to be prepared I, walked around the store and checked out the aisles of canned goods, and groceries. We also saw a small freezer with raviolis, gnocchis and sausages My Italy's best was pretty good -great flavor with an average portion size of meats. Customer service was odd - neither sandwich was cut in half and I don't think I've ever had a sandwich on a hard roll that wasn't cut in half. We popped some cash into the tip jar and that was met with either silence or indifference, and that always grinds my gears. read more

See all

John's Imports - TheSignature Italian - Delis Near Me - Winsted, Connecticut

I used to come here years ago when I was out this way, oh boy has it changed! Almost seems like you're a burden to be in there like they are aggravated that they have to be there and take your order. Twice within a week I got browning soggy lettuce on my grinder, after the first time I figured maybe they just didn't notice but it's become clear they just don't care. Sadly I used to tell everyone to stop here and can I say that will no longer be the case. read more

John's Imports - Soggy browning lettuce. - Delis Near Me - Winsted, Connecticut

1st time walking into John's Imports Deli in Winsted today. Place had an "Old School" feel to it, had high hopes what i ordered would be decent, but honestly, I was underwhelmed with my grinder. Went with Italy's Best -- capicola, prosciutto & salami. Sandwich was very large, seemed like a great value for $6.75. But the bread had a "spongy" texture to it, and the deli meat was extremely salty-tasting. Wasn't able to finish the whole grinder, I just lost interest. With all the deli's in the area, can't see a return visit to John's Imports. A weak 3 Star rating, IMO. read more

New spot for me! Very friendly staff and tasty sandwiches! The owner also sells locally made cbd oils. I got some for my kitty and it works amazing . I love supporting small local businesses, I will definitely be returning here ! read more

I really do not see all the hype about this so called "Italian" deli....it's really not that good nor is it clean. I had a prosciutto grinder and the meat was dry from sitting in the case too long. The bread did not taste fresh either. They carry Italian groceries but very few selection. This place can improve itself by spending some money on interior renovations and using fresher products. Remember you only get one chance to make a good impression....sorry Johnny, unfortunately I will not be back. read more

Called order ahead while on route to lake George.... totally disappointed... ordered 2 cheese and veggie sandwiches, but instead got some cheese and about a pound of shredded lettuce on bread with two small pickles, some soggy onions and two pieces of peppers. Never got the olives, mushrooms, and other veggies I requested on it. Totally lame. read more

I would of loved to give it stars but I haven't had a chance too soon as I came in I was not greeted not a hi, hello nothing... So I picked up a Tea and Brownie I actually greeted the man working and said I heard you have good food here and before I can ask what kind of grinders do you have he jumped on me about my card "you have to spend $5 or more" and I misunderstood I thought he meant a hold on my card you know pre authorized and he was like "you need to spend more than $5 do you want something else". I didn't like his attitude apologized for my misunderstanding and said nope. If it wasn't for his tone and attitude I would have loved to try there food, my 1st time experience coming in there might of been my last. read more

Just happened to be driving through Winsted on my way up to New York and stopped here. Delicious grinders and panini wraps! Great hometown feel and beats the heck out of fast food if you're on a road trip. Highly recommend stopping here! read more

Love this place. Used to go there quite often when working down the street from there. Rolls are always fresh, meats are abundant and the service is always great. read more

One of my favorite spots for lunch, I love their sandwiches. Go here multiple times a week to get lunch on my lunch hour, BUT the customer service is TERRIBLE. It's soooo upsetting. I work in customer service! So it takes A LOT for me to say this, but they are just straight up RUDE and DISMISSIVE. There is nothing more disappointing then taking my break after dealing with customers (at my job) and going into get lunch at a place where I love the food, but the employees are just rude and unfriendly! For no reason!! sucks! read more

I went here randomly with a friend and I was surprised that it served food. It looked very old and worn down. I ordered a sub and it was THE BEST sub I've ever had. Super cheap too! I think I paid 5-6 dollars for a GIANT GIANT sub. I scarfed it down in seconds. I will definitely order from this place again if I'm in the area. read more

Always a great grinder. It's quick, very reasonably priced and a lot of meats/ cheeses/ toppings to choose from. You can also pick up a bag of chips and anything else you might want to go with your lunch. read more

Just wanted a quick sandwich and I def picked the right spot! Kind of in a hurry, so just asked the guy behind the counter what he eats here (turkey bacon american cheese lettuce tomato) and he was on the money! The bacon tasted like it was pan cooked (not in an oven), very fresh bread, moist turkey, and perfect amount of mayo! All within 4 minutes! Must try! read more

very, very good italian sandwiches. Reasonably priced and high quality ingredients. Try 'italys best' sandwich when you go!

We are regulars here and have been for years. Best grinders around. BUT... the big girl behind the counter NEEDS TO GO. She is extremely rude to everyone, not pleasant at all, and doesnt make orders 100% accurately. Every sandwich she has made for me is missing something from my order. She treats customers poorly and disrespects them. Will not even look at them when ordering. If you hate people or your job that much, go get an education and get a different job. read more

Great place for a sandwich, a bite to eat, or a quick grocery stop. However there is no place to sit and eat, so be prepared to eat in your car or to take it home. Overall, this is a great deli in a busy town. read more

Great place to grab a quality grinder for lunch. My favorite is the 'Italy's Best' which comes with several deli meats, peppers, tomatoes, and cheese. One foot-long grinder will run you around $5 (and will be more than enough for lunch). Try finding a quality lunch for $5. Only advice: call in you order beforehand. They are usually pretty busy during lunch hour. read more

Hey, it was great 40 years ago when I was getting my first degree at the college, and it's great now. They haven't changed a thing, like Brooklyn....and madonne, the provolone, the turkey breast by the pound. The gabagool, the prosciutto...Oh! Reminds me of the pork store where we played cards in the street and...that may have been TV instead. But the garden tomatoes, the marinated mushrooms. It's an earthy place, the food is fresh because who can resist so it rotates faster than a Neutron Star. Hey, I told ya I went ta college. I moved back here for....John's Import Deli. Bravo. read more

Good sandwiches, pretty cheap prices for grinders. Small grocery, mostly Italian foods.

Your go-to sub shop in Winsted. This deli has a wide selection of meats and cheeses from which to craft your very own super-sub. Portions are large and prices are cheap. If you're in the mood for a quick take-out sandwich, this is the place to go. read more

This is easily one of my favorite delis anywhere, we're so lucky to have it here in Winsted. The Italian combo has sopressata, not salami, which says it all. Great bread, friendly people, huge selection of drinks, try it if you haven't. read more

Adriano M. your wrong to leAve this review- as for dried meats as a complaint - huh you were in an Italian import deli ,should I say more?- for under 6$ you get the Italy best grinder and it really is the best grinder around-we need to support this dieing mom and pop stores/imports or we will have to go to Stpshop and good luck there read more

I like going to John import ,they have fresh sandwich meat and they make good grinders,They are very polite and care about what the customer's needs. This store has been there for years and they have a wonderful reputation. read more

Nice little deli. Stay away from the pre-made salads though (macaroni and coleslaw were stale). Also sells convenience items. I give it a 3 star because of the salads were not fresh, it's really small inside, gets packed quick and you have no idea where the line starts and the store itself is dated looking. I get it though, why spend money on aesthetics when it works just the way it is. If you don't mind the occasional line to order your food, it's a nice little place to pick up something and go. read more

Great grinders and the panini sandwiches are awesome. The place can use some updating. Looks rundown and beat on and the workers are not very friendly. I can overlook that for good food though. read more
