“Best Sub Shop In Town!! Awesome selection of great Subs, Sandwiches & Wraps!!!“

“Not only are the staff very friendly and attentive, the food is awesome. Always fresh food and fresh bread. My new favorite spot for a good quality chicken cutlet or my go to Georgia hot, egg and cheese. What ever your craving is, it will be satisfied. G&Y 💪“

“This place is a hidden gem !! The owner is very kind, and the lady at the front is always so welcoming !
This is my go to spot when I work in the area. I always get the same thing, once I walk in they already know my order (pastrami sub, with grilled onions, lettuce, extra Swiss cheese, mayo and mustard)
Definitely recommend !!“

“Been going there for 15 years, foods always good“

“🥰 Love this place! Great gourmet sandwiches and salads! Quite reasonably priced and large portions! Very friendly owners! <3“

“visited Hornets Nest for the first time yesterday , by accident , just driving by . Had a great lunch , very pleasant people . Highly Recommended . Going to make it our stop when in the area .“

“Amazing sandwiches & the best staff! My son walked in and saw the Grinch on the wall & he immediately got so excited. The wonderful staff drew a big Grinch on the bag for him. Thank you so much! You made his day 💚“

“The food is amazing, customer service is excellent and I recommend them to anybody.Iris made me feel welcome.“

“Traveling through the city of West haven. Was told to eat at corsos. Small place mom and pop style. Believe they are brother and sister that run this location. Great talk. Great service. Sandwich was GREAT.. most critics that I have encountered don't do sandwiches but this one I enjoyed. Good place to eat.“

“Absolutely delicious! We had a turkey Ruben & corn beef Ruben! Best we have ever had!“

“Vegetable soup: The vegetable soup from Rosa’s Deli comes highly recommended by me. It has plenty of fresh vegetables, is not salty at all like many others are, (my feeling on salt is that you can always add more but cannot extract it), and comes with saltine crackers and a spoon (I did not need the spoon as this was my maiden voyage for my new soup spoon)!“

“I came in for the first time not sure what to expect, I didn't bring much with me and unfortunately this time I didn't leave a tip because of that. Had I known the quality was this good I would have definitely made sure to bring extra. The price is a little hi but you are honestly getting a great meal and portion“

“Great place, Frank the owner treats everyone as family. Friendly atmosphere great food. The prices are cheap for the times.“

“I moved away from the area. Even though I live in an italian area surrounded by all first and second generation Italians. I cannot find a crusty sesame seed grinder like Mr. Kold cuts. I drive an hour every few months just to get the grinder I used to get twice a week for years.

I highly recommend them!“

“Very delicious food. I love the sandwich specials and potato cakes. The cole slaw and pickles top it off. And the deserts are delicious.“

“They never fail me! Working only 5 minutes away this store is so convenient I think This area of New Haven struggles with really good old school bodega sandwiches but Day Deli hits the nail on the head every time and all the guys working are so nice!“

“I tried Vinnys for the 1st time ever today & hands down the best grilled chicken sandwich I've ever had & the nicest folks too. I'll definitely be back to try more! 5*“

“So I typically have a great sandwich here, but the other day I placed an order over the phone for my grandfather’s birthday, and when I showed up too early to pick up the order I thought I heard they didn’t have one type of meats for the ‘Sweet Italian Combo’ (of course my grandfather’s sandwich, out of all of them ordered). I thought nothing of it as nobody said a word to me from behind the counter. Grabbed the orders and paid, get home and it was a grilled chicken sandwich with ham (random combination) BUT was labeled as the Sweet Italian. It all made sense now, and I was not mistaken from what I heard. The Provy Brother’s would of never of pulled that ‘stunt’ and would have been transparent that they did not have the available meat(s) for the sandwich instead of making whatever they decided AND labelling it as the requested sandwich when it was not. Yes, the sandwich was still good, but imagine my grandfather’s surprise on his 86th birthday that his favorite sandwich he ordered from his favorite sandwich shop was not what he ordered or wanted on his special day. Please don’t EVER do that again to anyone. That was messed up and you all know what you did. And yes, we will give you all another chance as your sandwiches are always great. Just please be honest to your loyal customers.“

“always good! split pea soup and Italian wedding soup are excellent. seafood always fresh and cooked to perfection! pretty much anything you order will be pleasing to your palate!“

“The prices are very good. I always come here with my friend when we like to hang out sometimes.
The service is not bad but it's not good so it's in the middle.
Also this place on the outside needs a makeover or it needs deep cleaning.“

“Toda la comida super rica me encanto el lugar y muy buena atención al cliente 🙏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food, friendly staff, and always fresh. FMD is easily one of the best local spots. Highly recommend!“

“The best!! If you haven’t gone what are you waiting for?? RUNNN!! Everything is delicious!!👌🏼“

“❤ Love this place, My family goes there most everyday... Wonderful Staff & Great Service“

“Everyone talks about Sally's or Frank Pepe's apizza here and there but frankly the best pizza I've had in New Haven so far is from this spot. They do take forever to make your pizza on busy days, regardless it is well worth waiting for. I'm assuming the pizza would be less expensive if they didn't charge so much for toppings. The pizzas are huge, plan accordingly with a group of buddies instead of ordering a whole pie for yourself. Would say the same of the calzone, which a friend got“

“The food is amazing and the people are fantastic! I could eat their Tostados everyday! Highly recommend this place!“

“MY FIANCE WAS THERE ON 3/4/26 & GOT A LARGE HAM AND CHEESE SUB.. HE GAVE ME HALF AND IT'S DELICIOUS.. IT HAD LETTUCE, TOMATOES, CHEESE, PURPLE ONIONS BUT I TOOK MINDS OFF, PEPPER & MAYO! I BELIEVE I TRIED IT ONE OTHER TIME BUT THATS WHEN I WAS DOWN SOUTH! I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING BACK TO CT TO GET ANOTHER SUB! WE WETE HERE ON 4/17/26 & I GOT A STEAK & CHHESE SUB WITH MUSHROOMS AND KETCHUP.. MY OTHER HALF GOT A HAM & CHEESE WITH THE WORKS! DELICIOUS 😋 😋 😋 8“

“This place got me through my high school years over 15 years ago. I've only been able to come back a couple times since moving away but still the best breakfast sandwich ever. Do you still have the bacon bomb? Egg, bacon, cheese, perfect potatoes, on a hard roll“

“I got a turkey bacon egg and cheese, first time at this deli as I’m new to the area! The customer service is great and the sandwhich was freshly made. It’s clean and organized in there, I’ll definitely be a frequent customer. Thanks Cody“

“Best place to get how do you say breakfast sandwich for a hot lunch sandwich still chicken cutlets or fire so is a meatball grinders their steak and cheese subs are phenomenal and so are they chopped cheese sub bread is always super fresh if you're in the elm City area check out best deli“

“Just tried this joint for the 1st time ever and mannnnn...This is the type of independent Italian American deli that would make John Gotti shed a tear. One of the best Italian combos I've ever had in my lifetime. The amount of sandwich that this one man serves you for $10 should be the national standard for America. Last of a dying breed and I put that on Jesus sandals. I'd give this mf 6 stars if google would let me. God Bless.“

“Always a MUST STOP on any trip to the area, for ALL the things I grew up with, when living in CT!!
Best seafood, meat and local (Cosmos & Sclafani) products!! Plus HUMMEL'S bologna...I've had friends bring it to RI for me, when they visit!!! Best hostess gift EVER!!!!“

“Can’t believe we’ve driven by this spot so many times and only just discovered it! This deli made for a quick brunch when we needed a break from putting up our Christmas decorations. Fresh pastries, prepared foods, and locally sourced bagels. They didn’t skimp on our Italian combo either! The staff prepared our order quickly, and the space was clean. A great spot to know about!“

“My first time here today. Chipotle was closed down by the Health Department. Rats I guess according to another customer at the Marketa. The deli was packed with students after high school but the gentleman up front asked me if I wanted deli and he expedited my order. I would recommend doing business here.“

“Stopped in on my way home from work, and I’m so glad I did. I tried the Thursday special, and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, and even though I needed to make several modifications to my order, they accommodated every request without hesitation. Great food, amazing service, and genuinely kind people. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Awesome breakfast and lunch every day. Very clean deli. Stop in have something good to eat.“

“Toda la comida super rica me encanto el lugar y muy buena atención al cliente 🙏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love this place! It’s the heart of the neighborhood. Everyone comes here for coffee, snacks, great food, and essentials! The owner is a great guy and everyone he has working there are really down to earth and nice. Out of all the neighborhood bodegas you can choose from in the Hill, I recommend 4 J’s 100%!“

“My children and grandchildren have always gone to this store because they have always showed them ❤️ ..They are now my #1 out of the 2 corner stores on this side.there prices are always the same & they always greet u with a smile and stocked shelves!food is pretty good to..they close later than 8pm is a “

“Stopped by looking for a snack and man did Amanda deliver. I got the chicken bacon ranch on a grinder and a side of pasta salad. This is honestly one of the best CBR I’ve had.The chicken is super moist, coupled with heaps of crispy smoked bacon, which you can really taste. The ranch gives a creamy base layer that ties in the thick cuts of lettuce and tomatoes. This is all gift wrapped in a layer of cheddar cheese. The bread was crispy and held the insides of this sub together, without leaking through.I’ll be back to try the whole rest of the menu, you should too!“

“I’m not a regular patron of the old B&M deli but I can say I have tasted the old VS new and coming from another town, I am proud to say that the shoes have been filled! The quality and dedication that the new owners bring surpasses any deli nearby.( I can only speak within my parameters) we can all talk about quality meats which many places lack. Even your local markets! but If you’re hungry and want a savory sandwich/burger then this is your place! My fav’s are the Bacon Egg&Cheese And STK & cheese on a hard roll🤗“

“great buffalo shrimp wrap“

“Everyone there is fantastic. The food is great and great atmosphere 🤗“
