    Refrigerated section
    Danielle K.

    I went here for lunch for the first time . I have always wanted to go but I have never been in the area for lunch time . It's a very cute Italian deli for take out. I ordered the eggplant parmesan and added fried peppers on a hard roll. This was amazing! Most places do not make eggplant right however, the sandwich was excellent. It was thin enough and enough breading and the sauce tasted great as well. I would definitely come back just for the eggplant. I also ordered the #6 fresh mozzarella with tomato and roasted peppers, pesto, balsamic and I added pickled eggplant. This tasted great as well. I got my husband a fried breaded flounder grinder. it comes with lettuce, tomato cheese and tartar sauce. He doesn't like tartar sauce, so I had mayo on it instead. He stated that the fish was fresh and tasted good however, it didn't have much flavor. He felt that he would want flavor in the breading in order to order it again. Overall, very happy with the lunch order and definitely would go back..

    Cut up chicken
    Mark W.

    I've had several sandwiches here and all have been very good. Today I had a chicken parmigiana sub. The bread is the same on all subs and is good. The sauce is tasty with the right amount of tang. The cheese is plentiful and tastes like good quality. My only objection today is the "cutlet" while good was cut up pieces , I prefer whole cutlets and it was microwaved so it made it slightly mushy. Rosa's is a really good option for a $10 lunch in Wallingford.

    Real Italian- needs more meat
    Lauren D.

    It's okay. I really want to like this place and have given it numerous chances but every time we do get something we are disappointed. It had been a while so we came back today and got the #3 chicken cutlet and the real Italian. Chicken cutlet here isn't crispy, which is a must for me and my husband. Good flavor but not crispy. The real Italian had one slice of each meat. I couldn't even taste it. My daughter got a turkey wrap with just turkey and cheese that looked good. So guess you just have to stick to the basics here.

    Chix and pastina soup
    Denise A.

    Visited here for the first time the other day, but my mother has been raving about this place for years. Good selection of meat and cheeses for slicing and sandwich making along with hot dishes, soups and salads. Glass case has a great selection of pasta and other salads, stuffed breads, frozen pastas, and some scrumptious looking sweets and desserts. They also have pignoli nuts! I opted for a large chef salad to go along with a bowl of chicken and pastina soup. Although I requested Swiss or provolone instead of American cheese, the salad was made with American. I easily replaced it when I got home and there was enough for 2 generous salads. The soup tasted of homemade goodness with large chunks of chicken and simple ingredients. Service was so friendly and fast! Seems like a great local place that has a lot of loyal and frequent customers. I will definitely stop in here again when in the area.

    Soggy, what looks like microwaved chix cutlet
    Antony F.

    Was expecting good things...asked for my sandwich to be on a roll, got a full grinder which I just accepted (was told, it's only a $1 more...Paid $12) 'Chicken cutlet' looked soggy, microwaved. Bad experience ordering, sandwich made it worse. Sorry...

    eggplant parm on a hard roll
    Elvia W.

    This place hasn't changed at all over the years. This is still a super consistent spot to grab Italian deli sandwiches that are so delicious. Stopped in on Monday to grab an eggplant parm sandwich and it did not disappoint! Always love pairing it with a Foxon park soda. The woman at the register was also super nice.

    Craving a beef on weck, all suggested Vinny's Deli in Wallingford Ct…read more A Beef on Weck is a sandwich consisting of thinly sliced, rare roast beef, some horseradish sauce, a little au jus, served on a warmed and toasted bun, topped with caraway seeds amongst other spices. This is a sandwich that originated in Buffalo, New York, that I had the honor of eating on a regular basis when I worked in Buffalo. When this sandwich is prepared correctly, not too many types of sandwiches can top this. So expectations were high going to Vinny's Deli. And there it was on the menu, the all nighter # 54, in its glory, the beef on weck. The order was placed for two of them, as my friend Rick joined me for lunch. He never had one and was really looking forward to what he exactly was getting into. I also ordered storemade potato salad, and one of those famous oatmeal raisin cookies. I also had a lime ricky soda, and my friend had a root beer. These sodas were specially made for Vinny's and were presented so well. The total for this order of two sandwiches potato salad cookie and two sodas came to $38. I left a 15% tip. The food arrived, and let me tell you this beef on weck was simply amazing. Warm sliced roast beef that just melted in my mouth and pulled apart so easy, accompanied by just the right amount of horseradish sauce, on a slightly toasted and warmed bun. This was perfection. This was love. The potato salad which was store made also was delicious, and I liked it because it didn't have onions in it. This was on point. The two made for a store sodas were absolutely delicious. I loved that lime ricky, as it was a great choice. Now for the co-star... you must get the oatmeal raisin cookie for dessert. This was probably the best cookie of this nature I've ever had; so soft, so delicious, so made with love. Located on Center Street in Wallingford, Vinny's is easy to find, and parking is a breeze Seating is extremely limited. I think there were only four or five tables in there. Most were in there just to get the food and run, also known as takeout. This is a can't miss for sandwiches. I saw they had extensive other choices, but come for the star, the roast beef. I really enjoyed my visit here, it was local, the vibe was really cool and friendly, and the place was really clean. I noticed an ice cream store attached, which looked very inviting. I think I would stop there after having lunch here next time. Thanks to Vinny's, I really enjoyed my visit and I look forward to returning again in the near future. This was quite a haul coming from northern Connecticut down to Wallingford, but was worth every mile. I drove home with a smile on my face.

    Vinny's was rated as a top deli in CT so I definitely wanted to try it. Finally found a day I could…read morego and we ordered takeout for lunch, 2 different subs. Both were delicious. Wait time was not too bad and there's also some indoor seating. I would go back for lunch.

For food, I had the Bumble, which I highly recommend, with scrambled eggs, subbed with the gluten free sourdough bread (+$2 up-charge) and cheddar instead of American cheese. It's served all day and had so much flavor with that garlic butter, and the seasoned steak. Yum! If you are gluten free like me, you will appreciate that they have the gluten free sourdough bread or a gluten free wrap to substitute with. My partner had the Basic Bee with bacon and thought it was flavorful with light and fluffy scrambled eggs that complimented the bacon well. Overall, I would really recommend this place if you're looking for a breakfast or lunch in Wallingford!

    I normally try to give places the benefit of the doubt, but our experience at The Bees Knees Bistro…read morein Wallingford was honestly very disappointing and upsetting. My family and I arrived while it was raining outside with our young daughters in strollers, expecting to sit down for a meal and get out of the weather. Instead, we were told we could not come in with the strollers and essentially felt unwelcome the moment we walked through the door. As parents of babies who are still too young to sit safely in high chairs on their own, the strollers are not optional for us , they are necessary. We were not being disruptive, rude, or inconsiderate. We were simply trying to have a meal as a family. Rather than attempting to accommodate us or show any understanding, we were left feeling like having children made us an inconvenience. What made the situation even worse was the fact that it was pouring outside. Any level of kindness or flexibility would have gone a long way. Instead, we felt embarrassed, frustrated, and honestly shocked by the lack of compassion and customer service. Families with young children already face enough challenges going out in public, and experiences like this make it even harder. We ended up leaving and taking our business somewhere else that was far more welcoming and understanding toward families. It is disappointing because we were genuinely looking forward to trying this restaurant, but first impressions matter. A restaurant does not need to be "kid-centered" to still treat parents and babies with basic respect and decency. I completely understand that restaurants may have space limitations or policies, but there is a respectful and compassionate way to handle situations like this. Instead, the experience came across as cold and dismissive. There are many restaurants in the area that are happy to accommodate families, and moving forward those are the businesses I will continue to support. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant to families with infants or children who still require strollers or extra accommodations. I wont be going back and giving them .you business, nor will I be recommending this place to anyone. Totally rude and discrimination towards those with babies. I did not feel cherished like their website says every guest is. Its sad because this will and im sure does effect their business. I will never give them my business after yesterday. No attempts at accommodating us or evening offering to let us sit outside, lazy staff, but yet there were 3 teenage girls taking names for the wait list. What a joke.
