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.

Didn't give me any options for what I wanted on my Steak and Cheese, didn't look me in the eye and only asked "what do you want?". When it was done he didn't offer anything be put on it, he wrapped it up, threw it on the counter in my direction, rang it up and walk away before I even paid for it without saying a word. When I got home i was completely underwhelmed with the quality of the sandwich or the amount of meat, cheese, peppers and onion. It was 95% bread. Past purchases there have been enjoyable. Today was completely disappointing. Next time I will go nextdoor to Five Guys where the staff greets you with a smile and produce a great eating experience.

You can immediately understand why it has been a staple of the Torrington community for decades. I'm looking forward to returning to try the frozen pastas, specialty items, and famous hot buffet, which I did not sample during this visit. Unfortunately, the deli sandwich itself fell short of what I had hoped for. The portion was generous, but the selection was somewhat limited. I ordered mine on what was described as a "hard roll," but there was nothing hard or crusty about it. It seemed to be ordinary soft bread shaped into roll form--fluffy, nearly tasteless, and without the character or soul of a proper Italian roll. It detracted considerably from an otherwise generously made sandwich. The retail-brand white and wheat bread displayed for customers who wanted sliced bread should probably have been a clue that authentic Italian loaves were not part of the deli selection. Since it is tomato season, I was also disappointed that the tomato and all produce on my sandwich's. They tasted as though they had been nearly frozen - bought cheaply as commodities. Like the bread, unimportant to the sandwich experience ? Two stars overall: two for the genuinely tremendous people and one for the history, authenticity, and wonderful old-school character of the store. There is a great deal to appreciate here, and I will gladly return--but next time, I'll explore the prepared foods and specialty items rather than the deli sandwiches.

It's a typical Italian deli, there's a few tables in the main area and someone off to the side if you want to eat in! They are so much more than just deli food, they have a full catering menu and everything I've ever had from them has been delicious! Today I got the Il Padrino which has prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and basil! So good and the bread is perfect for a panini! Definitely consider Alfredo's for all of your catering needs!

This may be one of the most positive food/people/local business experiences that I have ever had…read more I encourage you, truly, to enjoy this traditional neighborhood Italian deli - where they REALLY cook (and more importantly) and take pride in their work in addition to taking an interest in their customers. As I was leaving today from my first (and definitely not my last) lunch visit, I told the awesome staff "I hope to have reason to host a catered party so I can call you." *** The look and feel of this place screams of "home" to me. I'm from NJ and miss the true delis in every neighborhood. No offense to the Litchfield Hills, but I don't want books, artwork for sale, or jazz in my deli - and I sure don't want prefabricated sandwiches that are trying to inspire my esoteric side. Alfredo's just hits home. Home cooking. Very generous portion. Fantastic bread/rolls. Staff that made my experience great beyond expectation (they even gave me a sample of the day's special panini for my feedback... spoiler alert, it was terrific)! From what I tried today, everything was good. But the chicken cutlet is literally worth the drive from anywhere.

The staff is friendly, professional, and makes sure every order is made right. The food is always fresh and delicious, with generous portions and high-quality ingredients.

The bread is fresh, the meats are flavorful, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Fast service, great customer care, and consistently excellent food keep me coming back. I highly recommend Nardelli's to anyone looking for a great meal in Torrington!

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.

Walking in immediately reminded me of Cheers, with all the patrons sitting at the bar, talking and laughing with the bartender. There are other tables available, but all the seating is high top. You order food and drink at the bar, and the food menu is written on the wall. It's mostly your typical bar food - fries, burgers, etc. It is all made to order, and burgers/sandwiches automatically come with potato chips. You can upgrade to fries. The mozzarella sticks were admittedly standard - they absolutely hit the spot if that's what you're craving. My burger was the first correctly cooked to requested temperature burger I've had in forever! It was juicy, cheese was sticking to the bun, and it was hot off the grill. Absolutely don't be put off by the fact it is a local bar - it's got good parking, and no one makes "outsiders" awkward. People even gave a friendly goodbye as we exited.

"Heart made of glass, my mind of stone Isn't it lovely, all…read morealone?" (Billie Eilish) I was thinking about what word best describes this morning's breakfast at the Village Market & Cafe. The best word I can come up with is "lovely". Everything was lovely -the dining room, decorations, the craft goods and pricing from local artisans, the pricing, choices, quality and quantity of the foods, and especially the service and hospitality. If you want an overall lovely vibe and experience, you really need to visit. Their menu board is divided into two sections, with breakfast on the left and lunch on the right. We were there in the morning, so with breakfast on our minds we checked out the left board and saw breakfast sandwiches, bagels, a kid's menu, and a potato patty side. My wife ordered a single egg sandwich on an English Muffin ($4) with bacon ($1) and a potato patty side ($1). Now those are very reasonable prices, so I really don't agree with some of the price bashing I've seen on this page. I ordered what turned out to be one of the very best breakfast sandwiches I've had in months. My Breakfast BLT was a feast of toasted rye bread, lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheese, and two fried eggs. It kept me full for half the day, and at $10.50 was worth every penny. Village Market's coffees are sourced from "Those Guys Coffee Company" out of New Hartford. Our coffee was excellent ($3 for a 12-ounce cup). Oh, and there is one more reason why our visit was lovely - our conversations and interactions with Evelyn. She and her daughter are owners, and she was super friendly, and just a real pleasure to meet and chat with. And to add one more reason to visit is this -they also sell ice cream! This was an easy FIVE STARS for all of the lovely features of this lovely spot.
