Arthur Avenue’s Italian excellence finds its Connecticut home in Gaetano’s Deli. Recently named the “Best Deli in Connecticut” by Food Network, Gaetano’s is an Italian American dream with nearly four Connecticut locations in Westport, Stratford, Monroe and soon Shelton as well.

Daily deliveries of delicious Italian bread from the Bronx’s Addeo and Madonia’s bakeries make walking into this rather unassuming deli on Post Road feel like walking right onto Arthur Ave. However, with some of the warmest and friendliest individuals around behind the counter, it’s arguably even more reminiscent of coming home to an Italian American Sunday dinner.
