Lamberti Italian Sausage is an artisanal Italian sausage company that opened in New Haven, Connecticut in 1946. It was founded by husband and wife James and Eugenia "Jean" Lamberti. James spent much of his childhood working in his family's New Haven grocery market. After noticing how popular his family's Italian sausage recipe was, he decided to start his own business that focused solely on Italian sausages. When the Lambertis first started the business on Grand Avenue (initially called the Lamberti Packing Company), their clientele were local mom-and-pop establishments and pizzerias. Business struggled at first, but eventually it took off. Lamberti would later expand their clientele to 100 supermarkets throughout Connecticut, as well as Italian restaurants, colleges & universities, and even state fairs. In 1964, Lamberti Sausage was one of the first businesses to move in at the Long Wharf food terminal (a meat-packing and produce hub); other food businesses soon followed. James Lamberti passed away in 1994 and Jean would follow him in 2020. Their legacy lives on through their family. Daughter Cindy Lamberti-Pallotti serves as the secretary and treasurer, grandson Joseph James "Jay" Pallotti serves as president and director of sales, and nephew Joe Kelley serves as operations manager. I've been purchasing Lamberti sausages for several years. They are great for making sausage & pepper grinders, stuffed breads, pizza, pasta dishes, breakfast dishes, etc. Unfortunately, Lamberti Sausage doesn't have a retail store at their home base, but their products are widely available at supermarkets around Connecticut. Their traditional Italian sausage links come in Sweet Italian Pork, Hot Italian Pork, Italian Chicken, and Breakfast varieties. Lamberti also make sausage patties. In fact, they claim to have formulated the first sausage patties.

I was driving through New Haven and just googled "best Italian sausage near me" Lamberti's came up with great reviews. Being from Virginia, I took thew chance and stopped by and bought two cases of sausage. One sweet Italian and one chicken Italian. The gentleman that helped me was super nice, when I was leaving he brought out a new product, breakfast sausage to try. I have to say this by far is the best sausage I have ever had and will definitely be making the trip back when I run out!

Top notch sausage!! Although a little hard to find, well worth the effort. Once you enter the shipping (yeah, more shipping than shipping) it on your left about 3 shops in, hidden by trucks sometimes. They sell great 5 pound boxes of sweat or hot sausages that grill up perfectly. They are surprisingly lean with very little fat rendered which is surprising considering how much flavor is packed in. As such, pan frying needs a touch of oil but not much and nothing too strong as you shouldn't mess with these sausages. A really unique flavor compared to sausages from NY and shouldn't even be compared to most supermarket and deli versions. I am very happy I found this place.

Yesterday, they were at ShopRite in Clinton. I’m so glad they were as it was truly the best Italian sausage I’ve ever had! Top notch ingredients and no corn syrup or preservatives like the others. The best!
