Jovito's Italian Café & Deli

Nice place. Free parking in the rear with all the construction. I had the meatball grinder and my wife had the Italian panini. Very nice! The artichoke and tomato salad was delicious! We can't wait to try the lasagna and Italian beef!My meatball grinder was delicious! It's the house special. I wish it had been served hotter. It was lukewarm. My wife felt her Italian panini would have benefited from some shredded lettuce. The chocolate mousse cake was the highlight of the day. Wow! Just perfect! Jordan helped us and he was very nice and thorough. He gave us some lovely tips.

This is an interesting place. It's like you step into a tiny flea market with coolers of desserts, drinks and premade meals to go. Order at the counter and take it to go is the only option. There's a patio area out back and a small seating area out front. The meatball sandwich was amazing. Meatballs, cheese and sauce stuffed inside the roll! Stop by and give it a try!

We ordered Jovito's to be delivered having never visited before. There were tons of options that sounded incredible, and we ended up with two Panini's and one grinder. my sister and I subbed the chips for Parmesan potatoes and my mom ordered a side salad as well. Each of the sandwiches was delicious, especially my chicken pesto sandwich. I'm pretty picky about chicken on sandwiches and hate when chicken is even remotely rubbery, but this was very good. I was a little disappointed that the Parmesan potatoes were, in fact, just tots with Parmesan cheese on top. I was hoping for something more like fingerling potatoes, and I wouldn't have paid the charge if I knew this was the case. My mom side salad was excellent with a ton of delicious toppings.Overall while our food was very good, I don't think I would justify paying over $80 for a meal like this again.

Still putting out delicious Italian dishes to go. You can also eat on the front patio or back porch. The Tony's Italian Beef sandwich is tasty and perfectly cooked. The large Italian salad is packed full of delicious deli meets and cheeses along with those leafy greens to keep you healthy. Don't forget to call ahead and don't mind the construction out front, park in the big lot in the back and walk up the cute alleyway. They are always friendly and fast.

I can't remember where I first saw a picture of a Jovito's sandwich, but the minute I did I knew I had to sample some food from this place. When my husband's birthday rolled around and we were both working from home he asked if there were any new sandwich shops that we could try out for a fun working lunch. I showed him one picture from this Yelp page he couldn't wait. When we got to the restaurant we realized there is no indoor seating as it's SMALL and it was frankly too hot to eat outside on this sunny June afternoon, so we waited and pick up our sandwiches to go. When you walk into Jovito's you get that magical vibe that exists in small mom and pop shops that perfectly blends oldschool hospitality, with no frills tasty food. It's incredibly charming inside, chock full of mementos, one small counter to order at, and a cold case with a surprisingly good variety of sodas and other cold beverages to enjoy with your meal. The folks inside that helped us out where incredibly kind and while I was waiting I remember seeing a regular come in and seemingly pick up a conversation with the staff that perhaps they had been having for years. I love that kind of vibe in a little hole in the wall such as this. The sandwiches were hefty when I got our bag and stayed warm on the way home. We each had half of each others to sample a few different things and they were nothing short of INCREDIBLE. 10/10 will be going back. I'm not sure how I didn't know about Jovito's before but I'm saddened by the time I spent not eating here. Just go. Get an Italian beef sandwich. Enjoy.

The eggplant Parmesan sandwich is so good, I wanna eat it everyday.The ambiance is adorable too

Calzone and cheesesteak grinder were phenomenal. Service was quick and the staff were really friendly

Real live Italian food, prepared before your eyes. Bring your own booze or order beer or wine from the bar. Just a plain ole eatery.

Absolutely love this place! Brings back so many childhood memories of the old Mario's in Westport.The service is awesome and the food is amazing!
