| - Great deli in Madison. Due to the location, parking, traffic with Regent St (terrible excuses!), I frequent Gino's more often but Fraboni's is classic. Staff is nice enough and able to answer my questions. They don't seem to mind if I want a tiny 1" cut of cheese or to add the liquids
Fraboni's opens in the morning, so if you're driving around with meetings at 10:30 or so, stop on in when others are closed! It's a great splurge. On rare occasion I'll get a sub/sandwich; they are fine but not astonishingly far off from what I can get elsewhere. I almost always grab 2 to 4 random items, ingredients, sides. One has to be a cheese, feta usually, but there are multiple feta choices! Their artichokes are the best in town (oil, spices, herbs); I have tried others when I stumble upon them but nah. The last must is olives; good luck picking. I prefer kalamata with pit; there are nearly never those mushy ones that seemed to have gone limp. I enjoy walking around eyeing up items to get next time (homemade frozen pizzas, salads), should I ever break my routine.
