Fortuna's Deli & Caterers of Westport has been an integral part of the community since 1975. Parents bring their kids there after soccer games, families cater from them for major events, and high schoolers drop by after the bell rings. In a town brimming with new real estate, boutiques, and car dealerships, it's an authentic, dependable constant. And as the best Italian delis should, they have earned their reputation through their creation of truly exceptional sandwiches.

Here are three local favorites to try the next time you stop by this beloved Connecticut deli: 

• The Godfather: The Godfather is the ultimate Italian sub. This deli provides an ample amount of meat in this reimagining of a classic. The Godfather is stuffed with ham, salami, pepperoni, prosciutto, and capicola. It's got everything you could dream of putting in an Italian sandwich. 
• The Dagwood: The Dagwood is a local favorite, and for a good reason. With four kinds of meats, two kinds of cheese, and lettuce, tomato, and onion, it's the opposite of a conveyor-belt sub. This tasty treat is both filling and impossible to replicate. 
• The Aristocrat: Fortuna's aristocrat sandwich is a perfect choice for those with more discriminating tastes. With pastrami, corned beef, and muenster cheese (among other ingredients), it's like nothing else on the menu. Add in a pickle and some chips, and you’ve got a sub meal that is sure to tantalize your tastebuds. 

In addition to its slate of locally beloved heroes, Fortuna's Deli & Caterers of Westport has a large menu that includes distinctive wraps (including Thanksgiving turkey and chicken cordon bleu), pasta dishes, and an extensive list of breakfast options. To take a look at their full menu, visit their website.
