Best deli in Connecticut. Heck, best deli anywhere !I was worried there were 16 people on line when I walked in, but I was still out in about 10 minutes.The food is outstanding, but the service is even better. The guy who made my sandwiches made me feel like I was dealing with my brother. And I like my brother !

Great Italian deli and market. There was a huge line for lunch but it moved fast and the wait was fairly short. These guys know how to handle a lunch rush. My sandwich was delicious. I would definitely go back.

I feel like everytime I go to Gaetanos, it’s like a new experience. There’s so many different types of hero’s I want to try that I’m able to get something new each time! This beauty is The Bishop which contains roast beef, sharp provolone and roasted red peppers. As for Covid protocol, they’re following everything that they can to ensure the safety of their staff and customers which makes me feel very comfortable going into their shop. They allow a few people inside at a time and advise to call first to ensure your order is ready in time for when you get there. Can’t wait to try something new the next time I go! And ask for the Buffalo chicken salad, it’s so delicious!

Cant beat it. If you like serious sandwiches that dont require and condiments... Right here! 😁 Been going to all 3 for many years now. Started in Stratford ages ago. Very good guys too. Happy to see the success. Raging Bull and Buffalo Chicken. Could eat it all week!

I am a longtime loyal customer of Gaetanos since they were at their old location in Stratford. Probably 10 to15 years now. Now I mostly go to the Shelton location as I live local to it. But recently I stopped in to their new location in Stratford and discovered they were closing. Everything was put away and they were locking up. The older gentleman working looked at my 8 months pregnant belly and beckoned to me. He said no problem.. for you, okay. I said you wouldnt deny a pregnant lady food? And he winked and said Never.Charming manners and delicious fresh ingredients. The best sandwich youll ever have I promise you. I had the Kovacs Special. My favorite. The best deli in CT hands down.

Vinny and Armando make it happen. Get the Siciliano and their vodka sauce to go makes dining easy. Honestly dont bother anywhere else. Also Vinny is cool even though he is a wrangler guy 😉

Ive never been before, but was recommended by a friend. We were not disappointed. Everyone behind the counter was super friendly and the food was delicious!!! I had the Bada Bing Bada Buffalo sandwich, and it was very flavorful but didnt hit me with the heat (which is fine!!!) We also got a chicken parm platter that was delicious, an arancini and potato croquettes both of which got 2 thumbs up from the kids! Going to try to go there one more time before we head home!

First time visiting this location! Saw multiple employees help customers bring items to their cars, very friendly once inside as well.. the gentlemen that helped us even threw in a free fresh loaf of bread because he thought it would go well with the ravioli and sauce we had purchased for our dinner tonight! Great place, food abs people, thanks guys!!

Been coming for years to multiple locations, Im a fan. Even today when they were slammed at 1 they were cruising through making sandwiches and on top of keeping people as safe as they can from COVID.Cant recommend it enough, best sandwiches in the area. Also my favorite eggplant parm.

Still requiring masks even though the mandate has been lifted. Find a business that respects CDC guidelines and doesnt deny science instead

We went into Gaetanos not knowing that the store was closed; the door was unlocked and there was quite a bit of activity inside. They told us they closed at 5:00, but served us any way. We felt bad. They insisted and we ordered a couple of sandwiches and the owner gave us additional rolls and a container of chicken for sandwiches later on. Wow... great customer service! Great food! Thanks!

Shelton, get ready to fall in love with the best deli group ever. This family of stores has been blowing minds for years in Stratford, Monroe, and Westport. It is now gonna blow yours! The best deli this side of the Bronx. No comparison anywhere in Connecticut. The best fresh bread daily from Arthur Avenue, ridiculous cuts of fresh Italian meats and cheeses. Hot dishes, catering, you name it. You are gonna want to live here. Enjoy!!!!!

Over priced. I got the tuna it was ok nothing special and it was $10 for a grinder $12 with a bag of chips. I dont think it is worth this price I can go just about anywhere and get something comparable
