| - Outstanding food. Sample their prosciutto and you'll agree. This grocery/deli is the best Italian in Madison. Definitely have an 'Otto' sandwich with everything on it. Totally blows away all other subs. While 'stupidotti's' up the street gives you 'no fat' Italian dressing with high fructose corn syrup as an ingredient, and tries to pass off canola oil as 'Italian', Fraboni's doesn't even bother with that gimmick garbage. They season their Otto sandwich with four real deli-sliced Italian meats, pepperoncinis and crisp flavorful white onions.
Fraboni's service is relaxed, but personal. Don't go in expecting lightning speed service. This is not a fast food place. It's a local neighborhood grocery with unique specialty items. It's the closest thing to old-world living you can get, and that's even more reason to go there.
Check out their vast selection of San Pellegrino sodas, old style rolled wafer biscuits, authentic original brand long dried pastas, salamis, fresh mozzarella cheese, bazillion choices of olive oil, import items from the entire Mediterranean, and THE GRANDMOTHERS OF GREENBUSH neighborhood history/recipe book. That in itself is worth the visit.
