“Love this place, perfect lunch spot while working on the road. The steak sandwich.It is quite different from most places. This is not shaved steak, but cut very thinly. They roast your own peppers, which are excellent. There veal cutlet is also very good. They offer hot plates throughout the week that changes every day. It's a very authentic italian deli“

“The bolognese was the best! The service was wonderful also. Had a lovely time.“

“best beef cutlet hands down“

“This is an old school greasy spoon diner literally hidden on Franklin Ave. This is cooking from your favorite uncle or granddad. Home style cooking for those who don't want to cook at home. Short order cook on the grill happens to be the owner. The menu is the stuff diner legends are based on. It has nothing gourmet. It isn't long. There's nothing promising to be a new twist on am ole favorite. It is the old favorite, just the way you fell in love with it: with pork, full fat, salty, and all the calories.
Cute place. Aged and tidy. Pleasant wait staff. Quick and good cook.
They only take cash. The entire antique experience is only heightened by that limitation.“

“Eclectic menu. While not extensive, there is variety with daily specials. We started with the dumplings and chili with beans. Dumplings and sauce for dipping quite flavorful in the best way. The chili was not too hot, and a hot sauce offered we we wanted more heat. The pasta and red was plentiful and delicious.“

“I live in west haven which is about a 40 mile drive, and this place never disappoints and we frequent often! Best sandwich’s in the state hands down!“

“We ordered pizza for 150 people in our office.... they made 40 pizzas, delivered them on time, great NY style to the pizza, we also ordered a variety of grinders and those were amazing, everyone really loved them, thank you to the team that made such a huge order happen and delivered such excellent quality.“

“Steak Quesadillas is amazing it also comes with fries and the sour cream and salsa. It really was one of the best quesadillas I have ever had. They are open 7 days a week. 10 am to 10 pm . 5/5/2025 I ordered 2 large pizzas, amazing. I only found a handful of places in CT that I will eat the pizza. This place is in my top 5 for sure. Great job 😊“

“My 1st time trying their steak and cheese grinder and it was the bomb!! Now I've had hiccups with past orders. Overall I mess with Mr. Pizza✌“

“everything but the ice cream man that went up a dollar 🦢“
