L&G ITALIAN DELI: 425 WEST MAIN STREET
10/12/2009
I learned a couple of things about Julio from L&G Italian Deli during the bocce season.
ONE: You get close to the palino and he WILL knock your a– out.
TWO: The guy can cook.
I discovered Rio Murgia pasta here and now I’m hooked. At $3.29 a pound, it’s three times more expensive than that stuff I buy at Trader Joes, but you won’t regret it. Plus, their hot and sweet sausage is killer…totally worth the drive over to the West Side. As an added bonus he carries some other hard-to-find ingredients, like the Type 00 flour I was looking all over for to make pizza dough.
So the next time you are about to hand over a couple of bucks for that supermarket-chain Italian sausage, think again and take a ride over to L&G. Capisce?

This place IS my childhood. Grew up around the corner and used to go in there with my grandfather for mortadella and salami. Still the best deli in Stamford.
No way a robot camera could take this photo! Sony Party-Shot would be useless. Too many round head-shaped salamis that could be interpreted as human by face-recognition software. Your creative eye is safe
That store looks fantastic. Nice framing.
