Really great bread. That makes the sandwich! Haven't found a really good sandwich place since Forbes market left. This place is terrific though. read more

Provenzano's has been our go-to lunch everytime we drive through CT for years now and we know we'll be stopping here anytime we can. The sandwiches are big, fresh, and delicious and we are alway greet with fast and friendly service when we stop in. read more

Great spot with great food. Been ordering since they opened. Love the breakfast on a roll sandwich.

Great stop on a drive from NJ to Boston. Tasty sandwiches, everything was fresh and lots of meat. Seeded roll recommended by owner was fabulous. Very friendly staff and quick service. read more

This place is filthy, the people that work there are not welcoming and the food is just not good! Don't waste your time!

Great little find! Definitely a gem in the rough. Simple deli and small Italian market. I ordered the 6 in De Niro and my daughter the tuna - over stuffed rolls of yummy! My daughters tuna was white albacore and she stated one of the best tuna grinders she had. We added a soda and vitamin water and 2 bags of chips- $22 Definitely give this place a try. ( I forgot to get pics as I was starving and it looked sooo good!) read more

Food was horrible. The chicken was rubber. Never again! Sad even the bread was hard. Not fresh

My second visit this week. Today I had "The Parm" which is eggplant and chicken parm sub. What I like most about this eatery is that they call it's a "Sub" and not a "grinder". One thing I can't change about my speech is my NY Slang of food items. Grinder is a CT thing and that drives me nuts! Rant over. The sandwich was delicious. The sauce is amazing, and I was able to buy a Quart of their sauce to take home. Of course I'll pass it off as my own sauce when I make dinner for the wife, u til she reads this of course My sandwich the other day: Sausage Pepper Onion Parm was also AMAZING which is why I came back today All in all. Best Italian style deli I have been to in CT by far. Kid at the desk is a good dude as well. read more

Went in to order lunch and was assaulted with a TV blaring Fox News. No sandwich is worth that kind of aggravation. For crying out loud, if you own a biz and feel the need to have a TV on, tune it to something non-controversial like Food Network or HGTV. I'll never go here again. read more

I love Provenzano's! Anything I have ever ordered was great. I personally love the My Cousin Vinny. I have ordered the Italian Combo, Bacon, egg, cheese and many others. The associates are friendly. Highly recommend if you are looking for a quick grab and go meal. read more

Great family owned deli for lunch. Super friendly staff. Specials everyday. Very reasonably priced and food was delicious! ****Only open until 3:00 on Saturdays**** read more

See all

The Best Deli in the area. For years Mr. Koldcuts reigned but I love the cleanliness, the friendly staff, the owner Charlies is the Bomb ... and oh yes killer subs and catering. What more can one ask for? read more

We have been frequenting your Deli for many years, today we went in and we were totally disappointed. Chicken cutlet was thin over cooked, greasy & no flavor, my husband got the cousin Vinny, not any better. I believe in supporting local businesses but after today not sure what happened. Would like to see your deli the way it used to be. read more

Awesome Italian subs on sacali bread! I had the DeNiro (fresh mozz, roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, balsamic + added ham) and he had the Hot Italian Combo (sopressata, capicolla, prosciuttini, pepperoni, salami). Everything was super fresh and worth the stop for lunch, as most places right off 95 are generic fast food joints. Definitely bookmarking this place for future stops on our way to/from NYC and MA. -1 star for no bathroom. Pro tip: get a half, they are HUGE. (The half sub is a whole length of a paper pate) read more

Provenzano's Deli - The DeNiro (fresh mozz, roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, balsamic + added ham) - Delis Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

So I'm a big sucker for chicken salad, and I must admit this was the first time I had it with green bell pepper. Not only was the green pleasing to the eye, for a usually gray mash up, it also brought a nice fresh crisp to the sandwich. I like what they have done with the place. There are new wooden shelves kiddy cornered in the corner offering all the imports they have for sale. Great atmosphere of local workers, usually police officers, and exceptional service. read more

Provenzano's Deli - Chicken Salad X Bacon X Honey Mustard - Delis Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

First coming here. Very friendly. Love the Digital menus. Easy to read. Had the Chicken cutlet. Was tasty. I'll be back. Thank you read more

Great Italian deli! Love the grinders here. Be sure to try The Parm if you can't decide between chicken parm or eggplant parm; it has both!

Amazing food and service, undoubtedly the best deli in West Haven. If you're passing through on 1-95. Exit 42 is worth a visit.

We stopped here after reading several solid reviews.  Had the "sweet Italian combo" and it did not disapoint.  There are so many Italian delis around CT, but very few make a great combo...This place does! And it may be the best. Generous amounts of fresh Italian cold cuts on real deal seeded bread. We also added the sharp provolone for that little extra bite.  Folks that work here are very friendly and helpful and prices are quite reasonable. Looking forward to going back and trying some specials. read more

Provenzano's Deli - Menu - Delis Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

We drove across town and arrived 15 minutes before closing. We were told the grills were already turned off and we could only order cold sandwiches. We were all going there have a cheesesteak sandwich. They could tell we were not happy about this and really didn't care at all. Unacceptable. read more

This is my new go to place. Unbelievable. Clean and fresh my sandwiches were loaded with meat I can't even believe the amount of meat they put on my sandwich great value for the price. Will not be going anywhere else from now on read more

Best deli around with awesome variety. Great customer service from a family owned business!

Provenzano's: This place never fails at delivering the tastiest and freshest food. If their menu was a musical album, it would be the "Best Of" album. Every sandwich is a hit, including the daily specials. Today's special I had was SO flavorful. It included a hot, fried & seasoned chicken cutlet with sweet soppressata, banana peppers and deli mustard served on the best bread I've tasted from any deli, period. The folks working there are very personable too, and you'll always feel welcome. Plus, you always get your money's worth, and you will leave feeling satisfied. Stop in, whether you're on your lunch break or picking up something to eat later on, there's something for everybody. Now I know this may sound goofy and over-the-top, but... they put the "deli" in "delicious!" read more

I've lived two minutes away from this deli for 3 years and I'm so upset I didn't find it sooner!!! It is a small welcoming deli with a few tables to dine in that has amazing food! My boyfriend and I tried the nana and the provy and they were both amazing! The guys behind the counter were so polite and welcoming and genuinely thanked each guest for their business. They also have a small selection of Italian grocery items that you can purchase as well. Will definitely be back!!! read more

This is my second review and I felt compelled to sing the praises of Provenzano's. So much more than a simple "Deli", from their wonderful service, friendly staff and outstanding coffee (especially the espresso) this place has it all. Fresh ingredients, perfect portions, nice neighborhood atmosphere. There is a small eat-in area, that feels like a living room. Regulars sit around, catching up, reading the newspaper or watching the news. The owner and his family are usually there, working hard and maintaining a friendly environment for newcomers and regulars alike. MOST IMPORTANT- The Food. quality quality quality. fresh veggies and greens. sharp delicious cheeses. nutty rich olive oil and deli meats that are perfect. Their breakfast sandwiches may be the biggest highlight, huge, tasty and perfectly cooked. please go and support a fantastic local business. read more

The only place I get a sub from these days. Generous serving sizes at great prices, but the real hero here is their bread. Staff is always friendly and does a great job. Only nitpick is that they close around 5/6 and I never have time after work to go and get sub's for dinner! Lol read more

Got the provy. Didn't disappoint. Clean,quick and friendly service. Definitely will go back if I'm ever in that area!

If your looking for the best deli sandwiches in West Haven, this is the place. Quick service, and all the subs are delicious. The sesame sub that they serve their sandwiches in just hits the spot, and seems to be the perfect size - you'll probably even have some leftovers (i mean, if that's possible). If your looking for good portion sizes when it comes to meat over veggies, than look no further. Prices are a little higher than your typical Krauszer's sub, but it's worth every penny. read more

Provenzano's Deli - Delis Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

Excellent sandwiches; Hot & Cold. They have great chicken cutlet specials daily, so make sure to look at the chalk board behind the register to see "todays sandwich". Decently priced; not to cheap, not too expensive. Fresh salads and ingredients overall. They also have great imported Italian coffee if you make it in for breakfast. My only caveat would be them using balsamic vinegar on their Italian Combo instead of red wine vinegar. It doesn't have that Italian Combo taste im used too. read more

I recently discovered Provenzano's while looking for some new spots for lunch and I'm glad I did. The food is always excellent and the customer service is on point. The bread is delivered from the Bronx daily and it is outstanding. I appreciate the fact that they have creative choices on the menu instead of the same run of the mill deli fare. I would definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Great sub. Loved that the sub roll had sesame seeds. Unique vegetarian options which is always refreshing. I had the Dinero and I would get it again. The only thing that would have made it better would be fresh basil. read more

Worked down in this area for a few months, I ate at Probenzanos at least 2 times a week. That should tell you all you need to know! The sandwiches are always fresh and delicious. read more

What a great addition to West Haven. Friendly staff and great food. The interior is spotless and the service is efficient. Can't wait to bring my family in. read more

One of the best breakfast sandwiches around. "Breakfast on a roll" Bacon, egg, cheese, ham, and grilled seasoned home fry potatoes . Been eating here since it was Poppy' s deli 15+ years ago, and for the value (about $3.50) you can't beat it. read more

Hidden gem. Place is clean. I call in ordered a lot for pick up and they are always very fast.

My wife and I were on a trip from NY to Boston and got off the exit looking for another place that we couldn't find when we decided to give this place a shot. Nice little place but the food and the staff were exceptional. We ordered a "Sweet" Italian sub (instead of the "Hot") and were impressed. Not easy to impress us. The bread was a fresh Italian bread with sesame seeds with just the right crustiness for a sandwich. It was absolutely loaded with great Italian cold cuts piled on, and not just one slice of ham and one of salami like other places do. All fresh toppings too;lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, olives,and on and on. We split it between the two of us and couldn't finish it. Definitely worth the trip! read more

I work right around the corner and this a favorite of mine for lunch. Not only are they super friendly but their food is amazing. I highly suggest going! read more

Been here a bunch of times. Not much to complain about with their sandwiches and they have a decent sized selection. Service is friendly but it can be a little slow at times. Wish they were open later so I could go more often. read more

This restaurant is excellent, perfect for lunch and they serve breakfast as well. It's one of my favorite delis in West Haven. I dig the chicken cutlet specials that they offer and the DeNiro is one of my favorites but all of the subs are great. A 12" sub here is pretty hearty, so bring an appetite. The chocolate chip cookies are delicious too, plus they have sodas, chips, and all the other items you want to go with your meal. They sell Italian goods that they have in some nice display shelves and the decor is nice. read more

I'm forever on the search for real deal authentic Italian deli but I live in a food wasteland and the closest place to me is an hour away. When I came across Provenzano's and saw that it was a mere 45 minutes away I jumped in the car and hit the road. I tried a 6 inch Italian combo (the sweet variety as opposed to the hot or spicy one they also offer) and a 6 inch The Parm (a chicken/eggplant parm combo). Both were very good. The sauce on The Parm was fresh and flavorful. The chicken and eggplant were both above average. The combo was also very good. It was stuffed with 5 meats and I added sharp provolone cheese. Two of the things that really set this place apart for me are the sharp provolone cheese and the bread. The bread comes from Arthur Ave in the Bronx and can stand on its own. While the combo was good I'd have enjoyed a sandwich with less meats even more so because it would allow this excellent bread to shine through even more. As for the cheese, the sharp provolone has always been a favorite of mine as it elevates any Italian style sandwich. If you haven't tried it you're missing out. Long story short-ish, it's safe to say I'll be making this 45 minute drive again as it was well worth it. read more
