    The most incredible eggplant parm you will ever have
    Neil T.

    A Derby local on the Connecticut subreddit recommended this place, and I'm here to affirm that the eggplant parm alone was worth every minute of the drive from Hartford. Perhaps I've not had sufficient worldly exposures, but I didn't even know that eggplant could be like this: sliced so thin, as others have said, to the point of being eggplant lasagna. Just divine. I neglected to ask what brand of bread they used, but whatever it was, it was an excellent match for its filling (a refreshing change from places that phone in the bread - you know what I'm talking about). The potato salad was on the same level of fine quality as everything else. One must assume that a beloved local place like this puts the same effort into the rest of its offerings, although I'll never be able to come here and *not* get eggplant parm. Therefore, I'll walk away on each visit with at least a few days' worth of food. And that is fine.

    Words cannot describe how good the Eggplant Parm is! It is hands down the best Eggplant Parm you will ever eat! And they don't skimp on it either. The grinder is overstuffed. It almost looks like too much until you bite into it. It's magical. lol. Seriously, it's crazy good. The chicken cutlets are also outstanding. They are perfectly crispy, thin and full of flavor. I'm not sure how many they put on a grinder but it's no joke. You definitely get your money's worth! There are plenty of prepared meals, soups and salads in the refrigerators to take home for easy meals. Everything is delicious. I don't think there are any bad options. I've been to a lot of good delis in Connecticut but this by far is the absolute best. Five stars are not enough!

    The Bronx Experience in Shelton If you want the soul of…read moreArthur Avenue without the trip to New York, Gaetano's Deli in Shelton is the undisputed heavyweight champion. Founders Guy and Milanno actually got their start on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx back in 1990, and they've successfully transplanted that high-energy, authentic Italian spirit right into Fairfield County. The Foundation: Arthur Avenue Bread The bread at Gaetano's is legendary. They source it directly from the Bronx, ensuring that every sandwich starts with a foundation of beautiful, crusty sesame seed bread. * The Texture: It has that signature "snap" on the outside while remaining airy and soft on the inside. * The Flavor: The toasted sesame seeds add a nutty depth that complements the salty Italian meats and tangy vinegars perfectly. The Gold Standard Chicken Cutlets Many places claim to have good cutlets, but Gaetano's cooks theirs to absolute perfection. * The "Kovac's Special": Often cited as their flagship sandwich, it features a chicken cutlet so tender and well-seasoned it stands out even when paired with heavy hitters like prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, and broccoli rabe. * Crispy & Light: The breading is never greasy; it's thin, golden, and provides the perfect crunch in every bite. Unbeatable Value and Atmosphere Despite the premium quality and the "Bronx-to-CT" logistics, the value here is incredible. You can find several of their least expensive--yet still massive--sandwiches (like the John Wayne or various parmigiana rolls) starting around $11.50 to $14.00, with many hearty heroes hovering right at that $15.00 mark. The service team is a well-oiled machine. They are fast, friendly, and carry that classic deli "swagger" that makes the atmosphere feel alive. It's loud, it's bustling, and it's unapologetically Italian.

I ordered a Chopped Cheese as I never had one before. My sandwich was made in about ten minutes and the sandwich was delicious. It was very flavorful, the meat was cooked just right, and it had just the right amount ingredients to bring it all together. I went back a second time to get a Chopped Cheese but it wasn't as good as the first time I ordered it. The first time I came here another staffer made my sandwich. I would say they have to work on their consistency. The customer was good and the staff are really working hard to bring this new business together. I will definitely be back to taste the Halal menu.

It's super clean, and the gentlemen that work there, we're kind. All the ingredients are displayed right in front of you, and everything is so fresh and looks so yummy. I tried the NYC chopped cheese. I switched it up a bit, only because I do not like Mayo and tomato - so I added some jalapeños. It's literally the best cheese steak I've ever had! The flavors were just wow! And I love that they slightly grill the roll - it totally completes the sandwich. They have a great menu, different varieties of food. I'm definitely going back to try the Halal food. Happy we have a new deli in town!
