There is nothing that makes me more confused then when people say Rein's is a "good" jewish deli. If you want to go to a GOOD jewish deli in CT, go to Katz's in Woodbridge, you will never want to go back to Rein's.

There is nothing that makes me more confused than when people assume that their own personal preferences for what is "good" or "best" are the standards by which all others should conduct their affairs.

Go to Katz's in Woodbridge and then you will understand.

Salerno's in Torrington, CT. used to have the Godfather it was the best Italian grinder I've ever had. I've been back in more recent years and it's still good but not what it was. Carbone's is a Torrington classic huge sandwiches, Alfredo's is also good. Cavallo's in Waterbury is better than Nardelli's which gets the national pub.

That is the Torrington Trilogy for sure. I love Carbones, just don't look at the dust that has collected on top of that 1980's NYGiants Beach Ball.

It's definitely a good Jewish deli, but I do think it's quite overrated. I've had much better in NY and just as good (if not better) from both Oscar's and Gold's in Westport.

Another vote for Katz's. Always stopped there when coming into the valley to visit my folks. My dad especially loved it.

Can never understand the "Deli's" here in the west, their pastrami and corned beef has 0 fat on them which makes it tasteless.

Been to both and I know we're taking CT but once you go to Carnegie you are ruined for life.

Franklin Ave Giant Grinder hands down! They put 6 inches of meat on their grinders, its ridiculous. Been going their since I was a kid.

Is it true that Franklin isn't what it used to be? I hear that a lot.

I heard the same because there was about a 10 year gap since this last year and my last visit. I must be honest, I'm not seeing the difference as they still pile the meat a mile high on the grinders. I got a half of a ham about two weeks ago and EASILY could of stopped after eating the first half..... Of course I kept going! Also, they have these draft beer deals like 22 oz's Miller Lite for like $5, crazy! I roll myself out of there when I go.....
