Paesano’s Deli & Catering

Two stars only because of the convenience right by my office. But OH MY GOODNESS. They get my order wrong every time. Don’t get me wrong — their food is good. But every time I order, there is something missing. What is in a bacon egg and cheese? To them, obviously not bacon. They charge you a lot extra for avocado but FORGET TO PUT IT ON YOUR WRAP. Boycotted them for about 2 months and decided to try it again this morning but what do ya know? THEY FORGOT THE BACON on a B.E.C. Step it up Paesano’s!!!

Friendly staff and they work fast to get your order out. Salads are small as they do not fill the container to the top. Their chicken salad was just okay. Nice chunks of chicken meat, Got a chicken bone in my sandwich once, but hey, that’s how you know they use real chicken. Don’t expect anything other than chicken and mayo in a chicken salad sandwich.

This place deserves at least a 3.5÷4. There wasn’t really anything that was spectacular about my sandwich, but I really appreciate the staff working to get the orders done as quickly as possible. The men behind the counter are very friendly, will help you make decisions about what to order, and then expeditiously make the sandwiches.
Paesano’s menu is huge. I was overwhelmed partly by the fact that my boyfriend didn’t explain where we were going for lunch or what they were known for. He is a Greenwich native and I was just visiting from DC. Anyway, I ended up with an Italian Panini which was very good and filling. I think next time I want to try their seafood sub.
The restaurant is quite large for a deli, with inside and outside seating. They have a fridge with lots of drink choices, a few cookies, and chips. I am weird and can’t eat a sandwich without chips, so I was happy to see that.
I am actually moving to Stamford and expect that we will make the trek down to Greenwich for Paesano’s.

I get a build your own salad from paesanos almost every day. It’s always fresh and delicious. The sandwiches are yummy too!

It is good to have a place that offers a good breakfast, lunch or take home for dinner nearby. I started to visit when I had breakfast every morning. They have fresh turkey for their sandwiches, and always a variety of hot dishes for lunch. The family makes every effort to give the customers their very best. Try their sausage and peppers on a wedge. The owners name is Guy and he will make you the best sandwich you ever tasted. If salads are your thing, ask Joanna to custom make a salad to your liking or let her get creative, which she does well. This is an old fashioned, good food, for a reasonable price establishment. As for the complaints about the woman at the cashier, that would be Loretta, one of the owners and it is unlikely you will meet a more honest person. But if you are going to be rude, even if this is Greenwich, she can give as good as she gets. If you want a good sandwich, stick to your ribs home cooking, a variety of choices, and a pleasant place with a feel of being part of the family, this is a good place to go.

I agree 100% with some of the reviews here… the lady at the counter is just plain nasty. You really feel the negative vibe just being there. I’ve only been there 3 times. And the last 2 after I swore not going back… And regarding the prices — it’s really weird but they change all the time. I’ve ordered the exact same thing last 2 times and both were completely different prices… wth? And also, they don’t want you to sign the receipt when paying with card. weird? … shady?

Best Reuben sandwich I’ve had in recent memory.
The coffee was hot and tasty as well. Next time I’m in the area, I’ll be going back.

Just a few words to describe this deli…
Disappointing and unfortunate. The food is disappointing and unfortunately the employees are very moody and have bad attitudes. Not to mention the service is very slow. Will not be going back.

Great sandwiches, but horrible delivery. Even when you order from SeamlessWeb and tell them EXACTLY what you want, they get it wrong and then seem so annoyed that you would want what you actually ordered. Agree with the poster above that for some reason I continue to order from them, not sure why. But if they don’t get their act together on delivery I will stop ordering.

Great sandwiches, bad delivery. Can’t seem to get their act together for SeamlessWeb delivery, but for some reason I continue to order. Also agreed with other posters that service is hit or miss.

The food here is passable to good, depending on what you get. I’ve had good luck with burgers and their yummy fries, and their eggplant /​chicken /​veal parm sandwiches are really delicious. Their baked goods are solid too, though pretty pricey ($ 3.50 for a slice of banana bread?).
That said, I’ve had disastrous results with some of their «pressatas» (paninis) and their turkey burgers have been horrifically dry. To top it all off, pricing is totally random. I’ll order something that’s listed at $ 6.95 on the website, and then the lady who works the register (owner?) will charge me $ 8.95.
If there’s one thing keeping me from going to this place consistently, it’s that one woman. She expresses the greatest displeasure that you’re even patronizing her establishment, much less ordering something. The young guys who work there are a pleasure and they do their best to serve you with a smile, but that one woman will talk on the phone, ignoring you for minutes at a time, and like I said when she rings you up it’s like she’s blindly throwing darts at the pricing menu.

Good place for lunch. Sandwiches are solid, although a little overpriced. You never really know how much something is going to cost because they don’t list the prices. Somehow everything ends up costing about $ 10.
Some of the staff is friendlier/​better than others. Try to get one of the younger guys if possible.
They have good chicken cutlet sandwiches, but their burger is also tasty. Try to get something they make instead of the refrigerated things they heat up.
