Saldamarco's — Restaurant in Clinton

THIS PLACE IS FABULOUS! I absolutely LUV AUTHENTIC OLD SCHOOL ITALIAN DELI’S. (This is not some fancy schmancy NEW AGE DELI so move along if that’s what you are looking for). My family roots are entrenched in the Boston area & we REVERE these kind of places. I don’t know what’s up with the other reviews ppl are leaving bc I had a chicken cutlet sub 12” LTO provolone drizzled with oil & vinegar $11.99 & IT WAS DELICIOUS! The chicken breast cutlet was great quality & pounded perfectly thin & was accompanied by shredded iceberg, thinly sliced tomatoes & red onion. The o&v mixture was EXCELLENT & they put the perfect amount on the sub. ALL THESE things are important when making a GREAT SUB. The sub roll was pillowy but had a nice slight chew which held up nicely against the drizzle of o&v. They have s variety of fresh Italian deli products for sale including Italian bread, deli salads, adssorged chips, deli meats, & hot & cold subs. All the staff I interacted with could not have been NICER. It bothers me that ppl leave UNFAIR reviews on social media. Running a small business is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT - it’s almost ALWAYS A LABOR OF LOVE. PLEASE BE KIND - AND FAIR when writing reviews. It has a DIRECT BEARING on the SUCCESS or DOWNFALL of a business. THIS PLACE IS FABULOUS! I am absolutely stopping in here ANY time I am in the area! HUGE PROPS TO SALDAMARCO’S ITALIAN DELI!...

My wife and I recently visited the area mid morning. She got a bit hungry and wanted to stop at a gas station for a quick snack but I declined and said how about we look for a small deli. A quick Google search put us 1/4 mile down the road and into the small parking lot of Saldamarco's. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and our order was taken. We meet a regular "happy to talk" young lady and had a few moments of conversation and as she went on her way, our breakfast sandwiches were done. We also purchased a small pasta side, loaf of fresh Italian bread, and left. It seemed like a nice normal deli. That was until we began to eat. AMAZING! Double sausage, double egg, soft and fresh hard roll. This thing was like a 3/4-1 pound of a perfect breakfast sandwich. The Italian bread was the same as the rolls, and the pasta was great too. If, by chance, I ever go back to Westbrook, I know where Im going. This place has got to be a little staple for early...

I've been going to Saldamarco's for over 25 years! Back in the day when Andy Saldamarco was alive ( I think he passed in 2019-2020?) I have NEVER HAD A BAD/WRONG GRINDER ordered here! Tommy D.(the current owner has a great staff! considering it tough to get good help) My go to is the Morgan Huskey,Godfather,Sinatra, Italian combo...Any and ALL sides sausage and peppers, Panini's Caprese salad etc! NEVER A BAD MEAL/ORDER or "rude" deli people! You drive by at 1;30 pm and parking lot STILL packed! so how...
