Rinaldi's Deli

Fantastic little deli not too far from Greenwich Hospital. Crispy bacon, fresh eggs, and fresher bread. They have good iced coffee with above average ice. Yes, ice. It’s like strong cold ice. None of that melty stuff you get at other coffee shops. This ice holds it’s form and does it cooling job. I invented an order I call “The Fatherhood.” Bacon, egg, cheese, spicy chili, with cones and ketchup. Then you ask them to double the bacon and double the cheese, THEN YOU ASK THEM to throw that monster on a wedge. My invention will keep you full all day after a restless night of labor and delivery. Enjoy. And make time to visit. Good little spot.

I used to go here a lot as a kid and I would always get a bruin with cones. I went again 5 years later this time after I moved out from cos cob to Florida. Not only were my cones cold on the sandwich but I felt rushed and the man at the register was rude. I remember there being a nice lady who used to run the shop so I don’t know if there was a change of management or something. It also felt a lot more empty and like it didn’t have the personality it used to.

Been going here for years. Unfortunately, thing's have changed a bit since the change in ownership. The Milbrook I ordered two days ago, and the same two weeks ago both had very thin, cooked-many-times-till-dark-breadcrumbs chicken on it. This used to be an amazing chicken cutlet. The sandwich is still otherwise delicious, but it feels like there's some attempt to cut costs here.... I'll go back.... maybe try something else next time as I always get the same thing.

This place is known around town as THE deli to go to. Family run, good food, at prices you'd expect. I want to give this location 5 stars, but in reality that's what it's being judged as - a location. This place is POPULAR. And with very little seating (as it's primarily a pickup-and-go kind of place) there isn't much reason for them to have much space. However they have almost no space. It gives a very crammed, "hole-in-the-wall" kind of feeling (even though its a stand-alone building). And, it being on the corner of a 5 way intersection with limited parking makes it a hassle. With also only 3 parking spaces, one casheir and a long loop-around line that plays ring-around-the-snack-stand after spending 2 minutes trying to park; its difficult not to get an off feeling as a customer. Most people do park along the road, and the cops don't seem to mind - but that doesn't equate to a proper solution. Seeing as you could absolutely get a ticket for doing so, I stand by my metric of 3 actual spots. Despite its shortcomings, people absolutely flock to this place simply for its food and family-style process. These are the type of guys who know their regulars by name and work hard to make sure they sell out by early afternoon with mostly fresh ingredients. It should go without saying that my 4 star rating is not a reflection of overall quality in the world of food, but moreover a rating for the type of place it is. Like, I wouldn't rate a McDonald's 1 star for not having good wine and fancy seating. This is a small delishack and I'm rating it as such. I would absolutely give it 5 stars if it weren't for the terrible parking and crammed mini-interior. It's also worth mentioning that the lines aren't always long, but if it's anything like 11am on a beautiful summer Saturday then you should know what to expect. Overall I definitely recommend you go here if you like the kinds of locations you'd see in a state like Maine. If you're looking for something more "Greenwich", then it probably isn't you're cup of tea.
