It was such a gem and I always made sure to try their non-grinder stuff. Amazing chicken soup, broccoli and cavatelli, pasta fazool, lamb stew, you name it.. and that special pizza of theirs with the spinach, potatoes, and sausage.
I gave them one chance after ownership changed. The new owners both trash-talked the old family and put out inferior food. It was sad but a relief when they finally closed for good

In the 90s, I was looking at cars at a dealership in Manchester after hours with my dad and we found a set of keys on the ground. We put them in the service drop box.

Ohh man that place was so so so so good. I used to take my mom there for lunch. When he retired I almost cried.

Their Yelp page says they've closed down but I hope that's inaccurate.

Reply to The little things in CT by DreadnoughtPoo
The food in CT is not consistently as fresh as CA, esp veg. We have seasonal fruit and veg but in winter everything is from elsewhere. Our food in general is heavier and we have more overweight people, lol, since the weather makes us want to hibernate. And everywhere in CT, people talk about the weather non-stop, no matter if it's hot or cold, and obsessively watch the weather to comment about it.

I think you’re take home will be slightly less a month (~$200) but as long as you’re not trying to keep up or be the joneses you will be comfortable.

>Corner Deli in Hartford
This made me think of Corner Grinder in Hartford, which had great sandwiches as well as old school Italian dishes for decades until the family sold it, after which it promptly went downhill until closure. Still miss their pizzaiola. RIP

Are drivers licenses made to deter car ownership? Is the bar exam meant to deter people from becoming lawyers? You want hacks cutting your hair and applying pesticides to your residence? You do realize there are people who try to do these things without training or a license that wind up literally ruining lives, right?
I agree, they put up a barrier to access but isn't that the point? So some yahoo doesn't become the next deadly yahoo?
Still curious why the 2nd Amendment is so sacred while we allow power to assail the 1st, 4th and 5th until we have zero freedom and security.

Their bread is from Arthur Ave in the Bronx and I wish more places in CT used it. I've had so many grinders that would have been put over the top if they used decent bread instead of those cheap white loaves.

Gonna chime in here for Franklin. There are a lot of great chicken cutlets in this state, but Franklin does something to their breading - I don't know if it's the oil they use or what - that makes it stand out. It's good enough that I can even excuse their garbage bread (which a number of other places, including Wethersfield Pizza House, are guilty of using). Unless I'm far enough away that it's just dumb to drive there, if I want a chicken parm, I'm going to Franklin.

We do it.
A bit of a smaller wage, but in this very area.
Our house is paid off though, and it saves us a lot.
I think you can do it comfortably as long as your rent isn't sky high.
