Angelina’s Italian Deli

Growing up in an Italian household, where legitimate, old-school Italian food wasn’t just dinner — it was a way of life — I have pretty high standards. Sunday sauce simmering all day. Fresh bread on the table. Loud conversations and even louder laughter at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. Angelina’s in Newtown transports me right back to those epic weekend meals. From the first bite, you can taste the authenticity. The flavors are rich, traditional, and made with the kind of care you simply can’t fake. And the hospitality? Genuine, warm, and welcoming — exactly how it should be. You’re not just a table; you’re treated like family. Nothing — and I mean NOTHING — compares to their authenticity and heartfelt hospitality anywhere in southern Connecticut. 110% recommend.

When you’re there you feel more like family than a customer. Jimmy and his staff are phenomenal. The sandwiches are some of the best I’ve ever had. Also highly recommend getting some of the cannolis. A taste of Arthur avenue in Newton. 100% worth making a trip to come experience.

Highly recommend Angelina’s Italian Deli and Catering! The sandwiches are amazing and the owners are so friendly! Forgot to take a pic of the Mama Mia yesterday which was piled high with a combo of quality Italian meats and so delicious. Today’s pictured sandwich is the Angelina, sooo good!! Get the seeded hero roll, the bread alone is fabulous. I can’t wait to try more items on the menu. It’s a MUST GO! 😋😋😋

Angelina’s is an institution of epicurean deliciousness, a place where exceptional food and genuine hospitality are inseparable. Jimmy is an outstanding showman, striking the perfect balance between grace and real connection with his guests. Even on your very first visit, you feel less like a customer and more like part of the family. Generosity flows freely, the atmosphere is fun-filled, and the banter is constant, all adding to the warmth of the experience. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t just serve memorable meals; it creates lasting impressions. If you’re lucky enough, ask for “The Coop.” It’s not on the menu, at least not yet, but it’s one of those insider orders that feels like a rite of passage. Maybe one day it will make its official debut; until then, it’s a delicious secret

Breaking out of my food coma to leave this place a review. I get why it’s packed all the time. I didn’t know what to order, and Angelina was so kind to offer some recommendations. We ordered the Mama Mia on a hero, rice balls, and Chicken Scarp. So delicious!
