I moved here from Long Island and haven’t really been able to find a deli comparable to the ones there. I was so surprised with this place I called right after I ate my sandwich to let them know how good it was. Sliced thin cold cuts and fresh bread! Finally a place that knows how to do it right in this area! Highly recommend. Such a gem!

We had amazing wedges from here recently. Chicken Parm wedge was PERFECT. Not greasy, not oily. Cutlets were juicy, tender, and delicious. The banana pudding was incredible as well.

I was in town for a business meeting and someone picked up food for the group. I ordered the Yankee Clipper. Beef, cheese, slaw, Russian dressing. This is not something would typically order. It was great!!! Lots of beef. Some else got I love Lucy and it was good. Cannolis were a hit! I would go back there in a heart beat! Lots of choices.

We recently highlighted them in our Greenwich Food Show, Tell'em Mike Sent You. We had their 3 top sandwiches, the Villa Nuova, the Marco Polo, and the Italian Stallion. every sandwich was incredible. Everything is very simply prepared, but with the best ingredients being the star of the show you can't go wrong. Then you have the seeded Arthur Ave bread as an exclamation point?! Tremendous. The delicious finished product is a testament to Orlando and the team being extremely picky in the curation of their product. We capped off the show with an espresso and freshly filled cannoli. When I'm in there it brings me back to being in Italy, slowing down, and enjoying ever bite. If it's your first time, I recommend the Marco Polo with chicken cutlet on the seeded bread pressed. Tell'em Mike Sent You.

How did I miss this place until now? A true Italian deli with the best fresh mozzarella I've had since moving from NY to CT. Grilled vegetables were fresh and perfectly-cooked (not too soggy/soft, but cooked through). Can't wait to try more.

i’ve never left a review because i’ve been a regular here for years. orlando is the best. all the food is to die for. best chicken parm on a roll i’ve ever had. the fresh mozzarella is insane. they have my favorite coffe (illy) and orlando really knows his customers. best place for italian sandwiches in greenwich. the prepared meals are also amazing.

Fisrt time buying here, best Italian food I’ve ever tried, the eggplant and parmigian sooo good, also the sausage and penne pasta, everything together was delicious… highly recommended.

Ordered the "I love Lucy" sandwich on a roll. What a disappointment. First, it was on a club roll. Second, it wasn't big enough to satisfy a toddler. Very sparse with their meat and sundried tomatoes. For the price I paid you would think it would be filling and/or tasty, wrong on both counts. I will never go back. Rinaldi's, Corbo's and Firehouse are all better choices with better food and nicer people. I will never go back.

The little deli has the most delicious sandwiches and freshly prepared foods that you may become a very frequent visitor just like we have! Come explore their menu to find your flavorful food passion!Update - I decided to pop in for lunch and wanted to eat in. Ordered Chicken Marsala with Scalloped Potatoes & Haricot Verts (Green Beans)... so delicious and expertly prepared!Thank you to Orlando & the whole crew!

Likable Italian deli. I only get wedges, but they are very good! Easy access and parking. Helpful cheery staff.

Be careful before going here. Owner is bad about keeping his hours up to date. They frequently close early during the week and often don't open at all on Sunday without notice. Call ahead.Edit -- lowered to 1 star after the owner's rude response. Note he says they close at 3, when their hours are listed as open until 4. Owner should be responsible and update the hours on Google so others don't waste their time driving to a closed store.

First time here. Ordered the Villa Nuova hero and the Pasta Fazal...I will be back! Bread was fresh and the ingredients were not cut short.

Great Italian deli. Highest quality bread, meats, cheeses/fresh mozzarella around. They make the best iced tea too, a definite must try

Excellent food but the service is not so well. Owner doesn’t greet or say hello always in a bad mood.

These guys are pretty good, got some good classics, been open forever for a reason. Their chicken cutlet is very good! It’s not my first choice spot but it’s absolutely in my top 5.

Such high quality everything. Our Sunday staple before football games or a long car trip. The fresh mozzarella, Italian combo and chicken parm are all world.

Always many prepared dishes to choose from. Great to bring home for dinner. Someone might think you made it!Expensive but worth it. Very convenient and lots of parking.

This place is the best kept secret in Cos Cob. They have fresh Arthur Ave bread everyday. The entree's are out of this world. And they have specialty items you can't find elsewhere.

This place has awesome food. I've only gotten their sandwiches until i got their lasagna today. It was really really good. Orlando is the man.

Best Italian deli in town. This place has awesome sandwiches, mozzarella made every day, and the freshest bread. Love this place.

Ok food and fairly pricey. Theres a 4% surcharge for credit cards. Might also want to know that they seem to be vocal Trump supporters if that influences your purchasing decisions.
