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.

I also have seen on Facebook that they have monthly grinder specials. I was craving a grinder and was in the area so I decided to stop in. They offer a variety of things! They have snacks, deli food and hot foods, such as soup. I got a Genoa salami grinder which is my favorite. It was good but the bread was a little dry. Everyone was very nice. I look forward to visiting again.

The turkey and roast beef are my go to lunch meats and they have generous portions. Love the horseradish cheddar they offer too. 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. I don't live in Torrington, so for me it's really convenient. Highly recommend you try this spot.

The bar seats about 10, and they have about 10 high tops. There are several tv's, and it appears that this place would be great for watching sports. They have 8 beers on tap. It appears to be a local crowd. I had a grilled cheese, bacon and tomato on rye, served with chips and a pickle for $7.99. It was excellent. The wife had the baked potato skins which were true potato skins unlike what most places are passing off as "skins". They were also very good. We'd definitely come again!

I stopped into Petraroia Deli on a recent weekday and was immediately charmed by this classic…read moreItalian-style deli tucked into a beautiful old red-brick building. From the moment you see the elegant vintage sign and bright red double doors, you know you're in for something authentic. The interior feels warm and welcoming, with a big, clear menu board that makes ordering easy. They have a solid selection of hot and cold sandwiches, breakfast options, and coffee. I went with one of their specials -- it looked like a chicken cutlet or eggplant variation with fresh greens (possibly arugula), roasted red peppers or similar, and what appeared to be a touch of egg or cheese. Whatever it was, it was excellent. The sandwich came on a perfect crusty Italian roll -- the bread was fresh with a great chew and slight crisp on the outside. The fillings were generous, flavorful, and well-balanced. The greens added a nice peppery bite that cut through the richness of the protein and any sauces. It was one of those sandwiches where every bite tastes just as good as the last. Service was friendly and efficient (the guy behind the counter was busy but still took time to make sure everything was right). The place has that old-school deli atmosphere mixed with modern touches -- exactly what you want when you're craving a quality sandwich. If you're in the area and looking for a no-nonsense, delicious deli sandwich made with care, Petraroia Deli is worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more from the hot sandwich list (the Porchetta and Chicken Cordon Bleu both caught my eye). Pro tip: Check their hours -- they appear to be closed on Mondays. *Highly recommend the fried artichoke sandwich. .

I'd honestly give it a 4.5 if that were possible, but since 4 felt too low, I'm rounding up. It was stellar. The spot itself is super quaint, tucked into a charming little rural town that seriously felt like it belonged on a Hallmark movie set. The staff were incredibly friendly and helped us choose our order, which was much appreciated. I went with the classic Italian combo, and it was absolute perfection. Seriously, a sandwich doesn't get better than this. The meat-to-bread ratio was spot on, and the mix of mayo with oil and vinegar added amazing flavor. The bread was just right--chewy enough to have a nice pull, but soft enough that it didn't fall apart or make the sandwich hard to eat. Highly recommend. We also tried the turkey club, which was tasty but not quite as successful due to the ciabatta bread. It was a bit too hard, and the fillings kept sliding out, making it tough to eat. Still, the flavors were great, and I was pleasantly surprised by the mustard. I wasn't expecting it on a club, but it worked well. Overall, would definitely come back!

There were some surprise grapes that gave the sandwich some appreciated sweetness. Only note is that it did take some time to get our food and drinks but there was a lot of traction during our visit and what looked to be one person manning the register/making drinks and someone else in the back on the food. Some of us tried their Chai Latte-all agreed that it was quite milky and needed some sugar so there's that. I had the melon cucumber drink, it was good-I think would be lovely in summer weather but not as cucumbery as I would have hoped! Overall would recommend!

So recently I gave them another chance, and in the passing time I believe there has been an ownership change. The bread is still good, very fresh and airy. But the interior is great as well! It was well seasoned, very tasty, and everything was made fresh to order. The meat was Boars Head, and chips were sold to accompany the sandwiches. Parking is room, but remember we are in bear country - some have been by their dumpsters.

They serve coffees, teas, hot chocolates and smoothies. Also on display are their deserts such as cookies and scones. I ordered the black iced peach tea with a sausage egg and cheese. She had ordered a coffee with a bacon egg and cheese. She said she loves the soft bread they have for the sandwiches. Which they did not disappoint. I really enjoyed what I ordered. 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. I also got a scone that I had later one which was really good as well!

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.
