I'm so glad they took over the old coffee shop space - their lattes are absolutely fantastic, and I love their sandwiches and pastries. The lox sandwich was so delicious. Perfect chive cream cheese, everything bagel, smoky salty lox, capers, cucumber and spinach. A perfect breakfast sandwich. The staff is very friendly, they're pretty quick and so conveniently located in the Guardian. I definitely recommend stopping in!

Quick and convenient. The building was stunning and the owner was very sweet. It was a great quick stop before starting my day.

Really solid sandwich spot, large portions served on delicious fresh focaccia. The focaccia had the…read moreperfect texture, slightly crispy outside with a soft spongy inside. We tried the spicy chicken caesar and the reuben angelo (made it the angelina by swapping turkey for the corned beef). The spicy chicken caesar was very tasty but I loved the angelina. So much flavor and texture in one sandwich. My only minor complaint was that the thousand island dressing needed to be better spread out, but who cares when the sandwich is this good? I would definitely eat both sandwiches again and go back to try the rest of their menu. We ordered online and it was ready when we came to pick it up. The staff was friendly and they have plenty of people working (one at the register and 3 making sandwiches). They have a few tables (the space isn't that large) as well as a single bathroom.

I wanted to give this place a 5. Badly. Because the flavors popped and were so good. I had the…read moreTurkey Bella. What a delight. Everything was so good. The combination of the sandwich was amazing. But one thing held this back... the focaccia was dry and fell apart. Wash bite I took, small pieces fell off (no not crumbs haha). This took away from the enjoyment of such a great sandwich. The bread is so important. And dry bread can ruin it. Alas I will still try this place again when I am in town. Because everything else was great. Hoping I got them on a bad day.

A golden standard for Italian sandwiches in this neighborhood…read more Buy them by the layer... try the 18 if ya have a empty belly and want half for later haha. Grab a dmall thing of antipasta or pasta salad and a small thing of mixed olives and peppers from the salad bar. The perfect lunch. Also after going here for 39 years, i realized i can also just buy mortadella by the pound. Mortadella is hard to come by without taking a 30 minute drive so this was a late revelation for me. Walk in, stand in front of the counter, tell em what ya want, wait 2 minutes and walk to the counter with your sandwich to pay.

My father took me Gonella's when I was a kid, and he was working in Detroit as a television…read moredirector. This was the sandwich shop that made me love subs. I can't believe the place is still here after all of these years. There are 2 types of subs here: Italian, and "Other Subs", so you know that this shop sprang from the vibrant Italian community that once populated Detroit. The Italian Subs at Gonella's are ordered according to how many layers it builds up (which I think is a unique concept). These layered Gonella Italian Subs are layered with a variety of Italian meats (Hard Salami, Salami Cotto, Mortadella, Smoked Ham and Capicola), provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions & Gonella's homemade dressing. Soft or hard roll. Extras: Peppers (+.50) Cheese (+.50) - (Turkey is reserved for the "Other Subs). 6 Layers Meat, 1 Layer Cheese --- $8 8 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $9 12 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $12 14 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $13 18 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $14 The subs are heavy and delicious. The Service is ultra friendly. And the atmosphere feels like and Italian Deli-Market. I recommend it.
