What have you heard about New Haven's food scene?
" Not much. I love pizza. I have heard about New haven's pizza. It is quite well known. Also, there is a place down on Long Wharf that makes very good Italian sausage.

Yale University Dining Hospitality Partnership
Yale Dining has had long standing partnerships with local businesses. Lamberti's has been making sausage in New Haven since 1946. Jay Pallotti, grandson to founder Jim and Jean Lamberti has been working with our team to provide fresh breakfast sausage, delicious Italian sausage, and he created a Nurnberger Brat for us which is AWESOME!
Likewise on another occasion, along with Yale’s master chef Ron DeSantis - one of only 67 certified master chefs in the country also partnered with Lamberti’s Italian Sausage to develop two new sausage recipes,including a chicken and a sweet potato sausage.
17 Million Pounds Later, Viggy's Going Strong
He was 14 when he started working for Lamberti's Italian Sausage. When they moved their sausage company to the New Haven Food Terminal in 1964, Vigorito came across town with them.
She said he has never taken a sick day except on two occasions when he needed hospital treatment. “My mom and dad couldn’t have asked for a better employee.”
For decades he was a full-timer at the sausage shop, but now his official work hours are Monday through Friday, 6 to 10 a.m. often he arrives at 5:30 a.m. just to hang out.
He added, “I always say I lived in the best of times. Because there was closeness. And respect. I never knew anybody’s (any adult’s) first name. It was always ‘Mr.’ and ‘Mrs.’”
He stood up abruptly and announced he was done talking about himself. “That’s enough!”
-Albert “Viggy” Vigorito
