“Great meal and service. Spacious and quiet.“

“I am a big fan of B & W’s overall food quality especially the variety of salads, especially the tunafish & fruit. Met a woman from Branford who comes especially for their Broccoli & Tunasalad a ***** always fresh. The homemade dressings delish especially the Honey Lime my favorite. Yes standing in line is never easy but servers work very hard to keep up with food requests & always willing to make the selections exactly as requested. We on the Shoreline fortunate to have such a great place to order such a variety of home cooked food.“

“Came all the way from Ohio for some New Haven style pizza and this one didn't disappoint! Friendly staff and reasonably priced! Highly recommend!!!“

“Everything was delicious as always yesterday for our superbowl party. Thank you so much!“

“If I was rating our experience based on our first time going here, it would be 5 stars. Our second visit was not as great as the first. Unfortunately the service lacked, incredibly, our second time here. We watched our waitress go above and beyond for all tables seated around us (similar to the waitress our first time here). When our waitress got to our table, she didn’t ask if it was our first time dining with them (as we’d heard her ask 2 other tables), she didn’t offer to explain any of the specials (as we’d heard her tell the other tables), her demeanor and tone visibly shifted from cheery to monotone each time she got to our table, and she didn’t check in with us throughout our meal. It was incredibly odd. Maybe she wrongly assumed since we are on the younger end of their typical clientele, my husband is covered in tattoos, and we had our young child with us, that she wouldn’t be tipped well?! Not sure. But her service definitely left us with a sour taste towards Grano Arso, which is so unfortunate since we enjoyed our first visit there. My husband left her a 40% tip as he usually does when we dine out; perhaps she won’t be so judgy towards others in the future.“

“Chambo's Italian Deli is an absolute gem that every food lover needs to experience. The food here is truly unbelievable, with grinders that are out of this world. Each bite is a testament to the extraordinary attention to detail that goes into every sandwich. The smiling faces of the ladies who work there make the experience even more delightful—they bring a warmth and friendliness that perfectly complements the amazing food.

Plus, if you're short on time, you can pop in and grab some ready-to-eat options that are just as delicious. Don't miss out on this fantastic deli; Chambo's is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food and excellent service.

As an aside, all the cutlets are fried fresh!!!

“Stopped by on our way through CT from Long Island. Was pleasantly surprised with how great this pizza was! A little on the greasy side but nothing you couldn’t pick up with a napkin. The only “negative” was the inside is very plain. Not a ton a decor, but that’s not really important. Would deff come “
