Today’s visit was to Avventura’s Deli in Waterbury!

 

A coworker friend of mine grew up in Waterbury, and enthusiastically added their recommendation of Avventura’s to the one I received here.  They specifically recommended a combination of fried artichoke, fried eggplant, fresh mozzarella, and pesto-mayo.  I ordered it as a panino, but the portion size and bread used make it closer to a grinder, I think.

 

 

 

I’m a meateater, but I did not find myself missing it here!  This was a wonderful combo of complex flavors, and the mozz and pesto-mayo were creamy without being too rich.  

 

Some of their other items caught my eye, especially the stuffed peppers.

 

 

And, of course, dessert.  I was pretty full after that massive sandwich so I just got one cannolo, for later. My friend advised me to look for something called “funny bones” (some kind of chocolate-wrapped peanut butter creme-filled cake I guess) but they didn’t have those today.
