Visiting Stoughton, we had just finished lunch and were looking for a place to grab a little…read moredessert. We headed downtown to check it out. Since it was a Monday, most of the shops and restaurants were closed, but Cheesers was open -- and they had Babcock (UW-Madison) ice cream. It's a cute little shop with lots of gourmet food items, wines, and gifts. We got a couple of cones. Union Utopia for me, served in generous portions on a sugar cone. So good on a warm day. The owner was super nice and told us a little about the downtown area, especially the Opera House that offers concerts. Definitely seems like a place we'd love to come back to.

Recently we were at a party where the hostess had purchased a dozen or more cheeses from Cheesers -…read morethey were all great. So when we were heading to Stoughton we knew we needed to stop at this place. The store was hopping on a late Saturday morning. We were there for the cheese but the front part of the store was filled with wine and liquor (they also have a tasting room upstairs - apparently it is a do-it-yourself tasting). They also have gifts and gourmet foods. The cheese counter probably had over 100 selections. There were many tempting cheeses. We selected a smoked blue cheese that we are looking forward to try. Given the wide selection we will definitely stop here again when searching for interesting cheeses even though it is a 25 minute drive.

I was downright…read moregiddy eating this pastrami sandwich (which was beautiful, too, and sadly I did not snap a picture because I was too excited to eat it! It did not disappoint). Love this no-frills deli with the focus on what's important- amazing bread in perfectly balanced sandwich (and yes, for me that means not a TON of meat but it was satisfying and not meat-heavy. I thought the ratio of bread/cheese/meat was just right). Gino's also has a lot of pasta salad options (I've heard good things about both the Cajun chicken pasta salad and the pesto chicken salad but literally just made two pasta salads for this weekend so I'll have to try those next time). They also have ingredients for pizza in the fridge and pre-made lasagnas, pizzas, and desserts (Tiramisu!!!). It also sounds like they sometimes sell cannoli fresh, made-to-order. Great hidden gem, definitely check it out. I will say, I also got the Italian sub and I was less impressed with the meat/bread/cheese ratio (not enough meat, too much cheese) but that pestrami was chef's kiss. Also we saw a worker on break when we arrived and he was eating the meatball sub-looked incredible but we didn't try it this time (we were eating on the go and that can be tricky with meatballs!)

Besides sandwiches they have many salads and other Italian deli style dishes you can get (huge display window). They also have take and bake lasagna that looks good. Everything is order to-go but they do have some indoor and outdoor seating. In addition to the ordering counter, it's a mini Italian grocery store. I love getting ingredients for homemade pizza here. They have the best sauce and thin ready made crusts. I typically buy a few packs to keep in my freezer. The prices are very reasonable as well. The staff is friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere is hectic and crowded, especially around dinner time, when's it's elbow to elbow and hard to find a place to sit. Strangely the tables are all for large groups, so it's not much of a date place. There's some room at the bar, but even there it's crowded and noisy and hard to get service. To its credit, the food is very good, garlicky and well prepared. But as I say it's more of a noisy bar atmosphere than a family or romantic restaurant. I'm not sure it's a place I'll be back to soon.

Overall, not a bad haul! We got there an hour before close and the bag was already ready for us. The meats come frozen so be sure to plan for that. We had a cooler bag with us, but they sell the disposable ones in store if you need one. It was enough for dinner for 12 adults and a whole litter of kids, with some meat to spare still (though we had done a lot of snacking while the food was cooking). It was the perfect package for our weekend getaway and will hit them up again if we're headed up north.
