“This is a classic CT deli. You can see that they really care about their community and engagement with the people. The woman who took my order was very polite, the food came out quick, and was quite delicious. Just wish my cutlet was a little warmer but I think that’s just a matter of preference. If you’re looking for good eats this is definitely the place.“

“I’ve been going there since the 70’s. Mrs. Vavala did it right then and it’s still just as good!“

“Currently 13 weeks pregnant was diagnosed with HG. I have barely been able to keep anything down but today I ordered a sandwich from you guys. It was the most delicious thing ever and I literally felt so happy because not only was it fresh but it was delicious and I just saw so happy that I was able to keep it down and I also like how the employees were super kind and sweet when I came in. Keep up with a great customer service. You guys are the best. ❤️“

“Literally stumbled upon this place reading the Greenwich Magazine at work bored, and found this hidden gem. Truly the definition of a hidden gem. The food is delicious, the service is speedy, and the variety of breakfast plates, sandwiches, lunch salads, sandwiches is just above and beyond. Every craving I could possibly have is satisfied here and the price tag is what kept me! In this area, it’s hard finding quality food, with taste all for under $20. At Makerie? You absolutely can. Keep up the amazing work ladies! You gained a new regular! <3“

“Great sandwiches and friendly staff. Best in town.“

“Simply the best Italian food. Been going there for 27 years - consistent quality and service. The broccoli rabe is unbeatable. And the people who own the place are salt-of-the-earth. Great food, great service. And now, given Covid, it’s a great time to try it - support small business!“

“Great little deli with many favorite foods & treats! Daily fresh food options are tasty. I got stuffed peppers, marinated squash salad, chicken cutlet with mushrooms & cheese. Nice selection of pickled vegetables & sauces. I will definitely be back soon!“

“Order the extra special.“

“5 star customer service. The courier sandwich is my fav and super yummy.. I am in town for one week and ordered it three times already. Half of one sandwich is def enough to fill me up for one meal. Food is fantastic! Can't say enough good things. And the lettuce on sandwichs is so fresh and crunchy (hate wilted lettuce)! This is my go to place when I'm in town. Just an absolute gem. And try the potato chips.“

“get the super, corned beef and pastrami with Swiss cheese.“

“the best sandwiches in USA!“

“Our company ordered 8 of the Corned Beef Special Sandwiches today! They were delicious!! Thank you to all of our friends at Research Deli - they are the absolute best!!“

“This is the best spot for lunch. i grew up in the restaurant business and it’s hard to find a place that has great food. This place is the best for lunch in Norwalk. Great size portions. Great flavors. Very friendly owners and staff.“

“I love this place!“

“As a former NYer, coming across the best BECs is very rare outside of NY. However I have to tip off my hat to Mike's Deli for not only surprising my taste buds but surpassing my expectations. It's right off the highway & super convenient. What I would recommend is ordering at least 5 minutes ahead of time so your order is Pick-Up Ready* the staff is young & quick on their feet to take orders. Being in the retail game 20+ years & I can say they really are top tier customer oriented. There's enough parking depending of course at what time you go, you can still find parking close by. Food is 20/10 & the drink options are the best ? my go to JOE TEA Raspberry. They are the best!!“

“I love all their food, it is of excellent quality and flavor, but pasta and their sandwiches are my favorites.
The customer service is impeccable and their coffee with a unique aroma gives the feeling of being at home.
Super recommended for all family and friends ?“

“If you are a connoisseur of eating sandwiches, pasta, other excellent dishes, and homemade mozzarella cheese, then this is the #1 deli for you in life, let alone in Greenwich. The Cos Cob Crusher is incredible, I ask for mine with extra cheese, a little balsamic vinegar and toasted. If you have an issue with something you ordered, tell Orlando before you leave so that he can fix the confusion. Orlando is the man and one of the best business owners in the area! I’ve been coming here for almost 25 years.“

“My favorite Polish deli in the area! My family has been coming here since I was very little, and the owner and employees who run this place are like family. Everyone is so kind, the food is always fresh, and there's always a wide variety of fresh food/deli as well as packaged snacks available. This is a must-stop for anyone looking for authentic Polish food; a very warm and welcoming environment to customers of all backgrounds. I will forever be coming to the European Deli ?“

“Everything is top notch…always“

“My beau, Tom, and I have been ordering from Rinaldi’s Deli of Stamford since working at home. What a Godsend Rinaldi’s is! Tom’s sandwich is fresh and tasty; my salads are fresh and tasty. Carol who takes the order is pleasant and efficient. The delivery person delivers the food literally with a smile. Cannot say enough good things about these people and their business. Five stars!“

“Best customer service new upgrades and improvements done as far as remodeling and more to come freshly baked bagels baked daily on premise only the best with boars head deli meats to freshly imported fruits and salads so much to choose from for breakfast lunch or dinner or quick bite on the go whether with family coworkers contractors friends or just stopping in so many freshly made bagels breakfast options lunch and so much more to choose from there is no other bagel shop/ deli known world wide with New York recipe and everything made with love ❤️“

“This place is so so freaking good. Wish I lived closer. I try to get something different every time I am there and have never been disappointed. I hadn’t been around for a bit and stopped in after the recent remodel and was shocked how good it looked (though I don’t remember it looking bad before),but these guys really seem to be the best deli in the area. Everything on the menu I’ve had so far is great…I just wish I had a bigger appetite to taste it all. The team is nice, the spot is gorgeous, and the food is some of the best in the area, and its reasonably priced. Go out of your way to get something here if you have to.

Parking: Very easy to park in the lot close by, with a great river view“

“Everything, great food, great staff, chicken park or bacon egg and cheese are my favorite. Family owned is nice too.“

“We just had lunch at Elvira's today. The sandwiches were DELICIOUS. I had the hot dog with sauerkraut and onions, my sister had the portabella mushrooms and mozzarella sandwich, my husband had BLT and my brother-in-law had tuna salad. Crunchy onion rings and Joey's famous fries were super good. Everything was delicious. It was easy to order on line and our "server" Sam treated us like family. Great service, easy to order, the food was yummy and we ate it by the beach. What could be better?“

“Very nice and delicious place��“

“This is a great place to eat. It was slow so I sat by the window hoping business would pick and it did. A middle-aged couple came in with a puzzled look on their face, as though they were desperate for something to do.
The menu is large and in charge but I judge each deli by one dish and one dish alone, the chicken parm wedge. Is the bread fresh, is the chicken crispy, is the sauce homemade etc.? Sometimes a spot is constrained by its ability to both deliver and keep the price down; Summer Street Deli somehow figured this out. I ordered a Pedro Special and a Chicken Parm Wedge and spent $25 with tip. Not bad. The chicken parm was crispy, the sauce was sweet and the motz was tangy. The chili was also delicious with a touch of spice but not to little which infuriates me. I like a hot chili. Like a diet Merrit Canteen chili flavor, very good though.

But over all I like this little spot with lots of dining space that is roomy but maintains a classic feel without all this pretentious so called atmosphere that doesn’t require it’s presence in a neighborhood spot such as this. Definitely worth a look but don’t take your date here unless your married, it’s not that kind of place bro ;).“

“I love Aux delices, have for many many years, both in Greenwich and now in Westport. Food is delicious but I do have to say that when I buy the turkey burger, which is super yummy, 1 out of 5 times it is undercooked and I have to throw it into the garbage. It's just too expensive for it to be that way. Such a shame....“

“I’ve wanted to try this place for a while. Very pleasant staff, sandwich came quickly (I had the Italian stallion). It filled me up, it was reasonably priced too and it was well made, not messy or anything. Very impressed and I will be happy to keep coming back.“

“I have always driven up Hope Street and gone past this deli. Well, this week I finally stopped in. I ordered a chicken cutlet (My go-to deli sandwich) on a wedge with cheese, tomatoes and ketchup and mayo. First things first: they made a QUALITY QUALITY sandwich. The cutlet has a nice crisp to it, and was not dry but juicy. The breading was not overwhelming but just right. The cheese, bacon , tomato all meshed well. Nothing was too loose or too messy. Second the customer service was great. A great atmosphere to walk into. Its always nice when you are greeted by a smile, conversation and to see that person behind the counter is actually enjoying themselves.I went back again to try out their meatball parm. On. The. Money. The meatballs are fresh and REAL. I am simple so I did not doctor this particular sandwich up much, but it was good for me and can be for you too.I recommend Ron's Deli if you want a great sandwich, great service, great prices. They will be seeing more of me thats for sure!“

“I grew up in the neighborhood back in the 80’s good times good memories. The market was was my main spot from ‘82-1990“

“In the heart of Greenwich, Rinaldi’s Country Deli proves that the art of the sandwich is alive and well in Connecticut. Their menu tempts with endless possibilities, but my loyalty lies with the classic Italian, bursting with peppers that pack just the right punch. When everything else is going up, Rinaldi’s keeps it real with prices that make sense—no frills, just damn good food.“

“Their hot food is always super delicious. I love the chipotle chicken, beef stew, and chick stew, and sausage and pepper. They change everyday so it’s always exciting and see one of my favorite on the rotation. When I move out of the area I will miss this place “

“Amazing service and amazing people.

Sandwich is of high quality was quick to come out and tastes amazing.

This is my go to spot for a sandwich in Stamford.

Roast beef is my suggestion and don't skip on the lettuce and tomato!

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible ramp!“

“Had a catering order of Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken Parmesan and Broccoli Rabe. The food was a major hit. The bread provided was fantastic also. I can’t say enough about how the guests raved about the food. I think they earned some new customers today“

“I called a few minutes ahead (short notice) and ordered an Italian Combo sandwich. Along with that, I grabbed a bag of Wise Sour Cream & Onion potato chips. Everything was good and the staff was very friendly. I was in and out very quickly. They had lots of other good food options here besides the deli sandwiches and grinders.It is a nice place to grab some good food that is healthier than many of the drive thru options...“

“Do not judge a book by its cover with this Deli! Not in the best part of town and finding parking is hard. The sandwich I ordered, the Chicken Cutlet, was so amazing. The owner is really nice and helpful. Check it out and again dont judge it by its cover and neighborhood.“

“I love this place it’s awesome. It’s not that expensive and it has a lot of options. Chicken tender and fries never fail.

Parking: Only thing is, it’s kind of hidden in a building. You have to take a right as soon as you walk in. So no parking , street parking if you find some. I like to walk there instead.“

“The salad sampler is my daily go to for lunch! The options are so fresh and seasonal. I love the fresh new combos that I always get to try. I am so happy that my office is right next door. I look forward to lunch daily!!! The salads are such a yummy treat!!“

“As I was passing through the area and in need of some nourishment, I came across this place and was happy to be able to get a deli sandwich from a deli. I had the Italian combo wedge, which, for those of you that do not realize, a wedge is the same as what many would call a grinder or, a submarine sandwich.
The folks here were nice and my sandwich was good. It was stuffed with good stuff in between the role that was good and fresh.
I asked them to make sure they did not drown it in oil and vinegar and they did a great job…
The Italian combo consist of salami, pepperoni, bologna, ham, sweet peppers, lettuce, tomato, provolone, oil and vinegar.
Next time I may opt to get the American combo, which is more of a ham, turkey, and roast beast type sandwich…
There are a couple small tables, so if somebody wanted to sit down and eat, that is an option.
There appears to be plenty of snacks, drinks, and coffee available here as well.
Parking could be a little tricky here from the way things look right now.
I was able to turn around and park across the street so my vehicle was facing towards the main road, making my departure a breeze.
I’m happy I stopped here.“

“Chris is da man and hooks up some bomb sandwiches. This is a main north Stamford stop along since I had some issues at LaRoccos on long ridge. The staff is polite but when some leaves the door open it can get to hot or cold so of course they need to say something we were not raised in a barn door. If I drop off my guys and I need a quick snacky snack i gotta stop here for some grub and chit chat. Love this place and support the local community business everyone“

“I stopped in for a quick sandwich today (this was my first time but definitely not my last), the menu was extensive and the staff was super friendly. The prices were fair, especially if you consider how much EVERYTHING has gone up because of Covid. If you’re interested in high quality, freshly prepared food, then this is little gem is your place!!“
