That meat needed some serious seasoning. The meal did "fill me up" though, but that was it. At least it was discounted, only paid $8 because of a Special they are running in March for platters after 5pm, normally it would have been $12. That's my review, I really can't see a reason for a return visit. A weak 3 Star rating, IMO.

This review is of the Winsted location. The interior is nothing fancy, but has a number of tables and chairs and is well lit. It was around lunch time and there was a decent flow of eat-in and carry-away customers-a number of whom, judging by the greetings they received, appeared to be regulars. The person taking and making was warm and friendly. My granddaughter had, and loved, the chicken Gyro. My wife really enjoyed the falafel. I had fried fish and was impressed with the texture, taste and serving size.

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.

The food is high quality and they've never made a mistake on my orders or made me wait too long. I also appreciate the online ordering system they offer so you can save time.

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!

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.

Been to Giannis Deli a couple of times now. First visit, I was wanting a meatball grinder (I had…read moreheard Giannis made decent meatballs), but I was told they didn't have any at that time, so I settled for a chicken parm sandwich. Chicken parm sandwich was alright, but I was disappointed about not being able to try the meatballs. So I came back a few weeks later and order a meatball grinder. I was underwhelmed with the sub, meatballs were bland. I also feel the prices are a bit on the higher side. Not seeing a reason to return for mediocre food, a weak 3 Star rating, IMO.

"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.

If you find a seat they will bring the breakfast to you after you order at the counter. The staff was friendly and quick. It is a really quiet spot in the middle of town. You do have to pay to park.

And its almost a pass through to a main street. Employees were patient with us while we took a little time to decide on what to order. My main reason for stopping in was an iced coffee. They have many syrup and milk options. I decided on a brown sugar cinnamon iced coffee with half and half. Too much half and half was added to my drink. My iced coffee still tasted good. Onto the food - I chose a breakfast wrap, and my husband the hot honey chicken sandwich. My breakfast wrap was sausage, egg, and cheese. The wrap came with avocado which I dont like. The women at the register offered me a hash brown instead which worked great. Between the iced coffee and the wrap it was a hearty breakfast. My husband enjoyed the hot honey on his sandwich. And was surprised he liked the bun. Crumbs is small on the inside. So its not the spot for a group. However You and a Friend, or You and Your Sister can hang out for a while.
