    Liverwurst on a roll
    Mari K.

    This may sound weird but i was really craving a liverwurst sandwich, something i grew up on. I found this deli, and was pleased to see they had a liverwurst sandwich on the menu, along with a lot of other tasty looking sandwiches. The Liverwurst was super affordable and tasty, and the Italian wrap was great too. Good prices, fresh food. You can use their app or Uber eats for delivery, but I would recommend their app. You do have to download it but then they don't have to pay uber, and there were some inaccuracies on the Uber eats app for them.

    RESTAURANT REVIEW Vavala's Deli & Catering Darien, CT @vavalasdelidarien @fairfieldfooddude Vavala's has been serving the Darien community for over 40 years, and there is two major reasons for their success; service snd quality of food. Located across from the Noroton Heights train station, Vavala's offers daily hot meal specials and an insanely diverse selection of sandwiches and salads. You can get your everyday deli staples, but the specialty sandwich menu is where this place stands out from the local competition. You can browse the menu in person or online, but here are some of my favorites: Tony's Chicken Cutlet - Chicken Cutlet, Honey Mustard, Melted Jack Cheese, Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato   Chicken Cutlet Cordon Bleu - Chicken Cutlet, Bleu Cheese Dressing, Melted American, Slice Of Ham, Lettuce & Tomato   Hot & Spicy Chicken Cutlet - Chicken Cutlet, Pepper Jack, BBQ Sauce, Hot Peppers, Onion, Lettuce & Tomato Kenny's Chicken Cutlet Chicken Cutlet With Melted Mozzarella, Sweet Peppers, Bacon, Balsamic & Pesto On A Wedge   Blue Wave Chicken Cutlet - Chicken Cutlet, Bacon, Melted Cheddar, Russian Dressing, Lettuce & Tomato   State Champs - Chicken Cutlet & Potato Cones With Bacon, Melted Pepper Jack Cheese, Ranch Dressing & Hot Sauce On A Wedge   If you're super hungry and don't care about calories try the monster double bacon cheeseburger served on a wedge! Vavala's is open daily for takeout and delivery using the usual apps.....

    Stopped here for lunch. What an excellent cutlet sandwich on a wedge. Top notch delis are hard to find and this is definitely one. Glad I found the place, will be coming back.

    I recommend walking in to order (duh) or ordering online as they are often too busy working to answer the phone. (Trust me I've tried) And obviously this is because they are the best Deli NomNomz in town! Also their cookies are

    Over priced for bad service

    I ordered 1/4 lb tuna salad, roll, and a side potato salad. they kept getting the order wrong and I needed to repeat it multiple times. they charged me $5.15 for the tuna salad and $2.19 for the roll (charged as roll and butter). I'm not price sensitive but it was the multiple times they got it wrong.

    This place seriously makes the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Two words for you: double egg. The perfect runny egg, fresh Kaiser rolls, and fresh ground unwatered-down coffee! This is from an expert with 10+ years of ordering in NYC from sidewalk street vendors, delis, and at nationwide fast food chains. Definitely give the place a try if you're in the area. The lunchtime sandwiches are generously portioned. The steak and cheese wedge is great!

    Visited this place for the first time a few weeks ago with one of my close friends who lives in Norwalk. He literally insisted we go because he said it was his favorite sandwich place in town. I'm so glad we went on a Monday, because he said that on the weekends the line is practically out the door it's your typical deli, but the taste is out of this world!! My only recommendation is that they do something to clean the bathroom up a little bit, especially since it's open to the public. Other than that, well done!!

    Once again I'm hungry on the highway and stop somewhere close by to get breakfast on my way to…read morework. I ended up at this Italian deli in Norwalk. I didn't want breakfast breakfast because the home fries looked off, looks like it's buffet style and not prepared to order. Last time I got a chicken cutlet sandwich in the morning (at a different spot) they gave me left over chicken that must've been days old, so I was scared to try that again so early in the morning, but went for it anyway. I was a bit nervous when the order came out so quick. Luckily it didn't taste old, but I feel like it was prepared the day before and/or placed in the freezer because of the texture of the bread crumbs. It probably could have cooked a bit longer, there were some pink tough areas in the chicken, or maybe that's from it being frozen and defrosted unevenly. I grabbed a beef empanada. I like that it didn't feel greasy. It was loaded generously. I don't like that it tasted so dry though. If the beef was juicy or a little saucy, this would have tasted better. The owner Mario and female working there were so friendly that it hurts me to give them a low rating. I won't stop by here again.

Do not leave without one or several of the ready-made hand pies in the hot box displayed on the counter. Chicken, Ham and Cheese, Beef. Chicken is my favorite. Tender, shredded chicken mildly but flavorly spiced with a special and perfect combination of salt, white pepper I believe, perhaps onion powder, there a bit of red which I recall may be pimento, and my favorite part is the bits of boiled egg. Each bite gives a slight crisp from the pastry wrap and then a moist euphoria of satisfaction that you can eat on the go, or bring to the people you love. My daughter loves the ham and cheese, warm melty and delicious. The beef I do not get often, but you get the idea. I LOVE this place and I see the dedication and love the owner has put in here. I know he will choose to retire one day, and I will always remember this man and his amazing pies.

While in the area, I was looking for something to eat for lunch. I spotted this place while driving by and decided to stop in. I was greeted as I walked in and ordered the number 13, known as the Seth Combo Wrap: chicken cutlet, arugula, long hots, tomato, jalapeños, cheddar, mayo, and balsamic on your choice of wrap. I asked to switch the wrap to a grinder and removed the jalapeños and long hots since I don't like spicy food. The sandwich was ready in about ten minutes. It turned out to be really good and incredibly fresh. The arugula added a bold, peppery, slightly spicy flavor with a nutty, sharp bite. I especially loved the balsamic vinegar, which gave the sandwich a rich, sweet, and tangy kick. The chicken was crispy and tasty, though it could have been a bit more seasoned. Overall, it was a solid sandwich -- fresh and satisfying. The service was excellent, and I'll definitely be back to try more items from the menu.
