Costello's Market — Restaurant in Middlebury

The food here should probably get four or five stars, but the service is literally the worst at any place I have ever been and deserves -10 stars, so I'm giving it one (generous) star. We waited nearly one hour and ten minutes for three sandwiches. When I ordered if I had been told the wait would likely be over 30 minutes I would have left, but of course I had no idea three sandwiches would take over an hour. At 15-20 minutes of waiting the woman at the counter started apologizing, but she didn't bother telling us how much longer the wait would be. I still can't get over the idea that someone would take our order and never even mention that we would have to spend over an hour just waiting for the food. When the sandwiches finally came the quality was good, but it's beyond unacceptable to run a place the way they seem to run this one. Needless to say I will not be returning, and I would recommend anyone who doesn't have a lot of time to spend to avoid walking in...

Middlebury has one "must have" foodie experience, and this is it.

Costellos offers only the finest ingredients in all their handmade ready-to-eat items. If you value what you pay for, there's no better sandwich shop in all of New England (confirmed by Yankee Magazine) than...

Nice little gourmet Italian seafood and sandwich shop! I got a Scallop Po Boy, no onion, sauce on the side. It was by no means a po boy, but for sure a delicious fried scallop sub. The bread was soft and a little dense, but a lovely sub roll. Fresh chopped romaine lettuce and ripe tomatoes. The scallops had a crunchy panko breading and the scallops were perfectly cooked - tender and sweet. The 'remoulade' was lacking the grain mustard, but it had a nice raw garlic spiciness that wasn't overwhelming and a little oregano flavor. They also have a nice selection of seafood, salads, dinners, and products for sale. If it gets busy/there's a long wait, just go check out the bookstore next door and...
