Our take: Bridgeport’s Italian time machine: Gio’s Cafe & Deli transports you straight to old-school Little Italy. Bring your own vino and settle in for a sauce-soaked journey to the motherland.

Wine Pairing: For hearty Italian-American fare, bring a robust red like Primitivo or Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. For white, a crisp Pinot Grigio is a classic choice.

Beer Pairing: A classic American lager pairs well with Italian-American food. For a craft option, try an amber ale to complement rich tomato sauces.

Spirits Pairing: Italian-Americans love their anisette. Bring a bottle of Sambuca for a traditional after-dinner treat. For variety, try Limoncello.
