Fast friendly service. Easy parking in lot right outside. Great vegetarian and vegan options: meatless chicken cutlet, grilled chicken, and deli meat slices. Vegetarians can get a chicken wrap, Italian sub, and more! Plenty of room to sit in the place. Quiet enough for conversation, but lively with customers coming in and out. read more

Stopped here on the way home(Sunday) on vacation because of the hype......I must of caught em on a bad day. The meats(awesome) and veggies were great but the bread was like trying to bite through shoe leather. Bread was very hard probably the worst sandwich bread I've ever had. This place would've got 5 stars because everything else was great. Nice people, Good prices, easy location......maybe I'll try on a Monday when the fresh bread gets delivered that morning. read more

Our sandwiches were both very good; she got the roast beef abd I got the Italian combo. Service was quick and while the cashier was friendly the sandwich maker had attitude - I think it's a sandwich maker thing! Bread was super fresh and soft I loved it! Good amount of meat, not overwhelming though abd toppings are great here - I added pickles and lasted peppers. Overall very good, better than our last visit to a different Nadeli's, but I still prefer the taste of Jersey Mikes! We both do! read more

Great place to eat not far off the highway. They got me with the sign while I was traveling past. The grilled chicken balsamic was a great healthy alternative to fast food.

See all

ordered a whole chicken salad grinder at 12: 30 pm for pick up at 3:30pm. Got there at 3pm and it was already made made. Got home and the chicken salad was extremely dry, no mayo nor salt and pepper. Lettuce was wilted and not tasty. Prior to this also ordered a whole chicken salad grinder when I got home and opened the package it was a chicken cutlet grinder not a chicken salad grinder. I'll be using Micke's Place from now on. Best grinders in Southbury. read more

Lemon caper chicken breast delivered at our requested time for a family party was delicious, tender and worth every dollar.

The sandwiches are made to order similar to subways,however pricier. The premade food is ok if you stick to food you know. The service is okay but could be better. I would stick to Italian items and not a tuna salad etc. as the store is predominantly for Italian type foods and sandwiches. read more

A must try, I had a chicken grinder. Huge, delicious, well priced. I'll be back again :) read more

Nardelli's Grinder Shoppe - Pulled Pork Whole Grinder - Sandwiches Near Me - Southbury, Connecticut

On our way home from Massachusetts (June 18th 2019), we stopped for lunch and found this place. DH and I shared a chicken parm grinder. We could have easily shared just one half of a sandwich. It was huge!! And tasty. We bought a cannoli for the ride home. I do recommend that cannoli's be filled at the time of ordering, as it was on the stale side. Overall, a good place for lunch. I'm glad we found this place! read more

Waited over 40 MINUTES for a grinder. Pulled up to the store only to find it WAS CLOSED!! Yet another customer lost!!! PS the only reason I gave it 1 star was because I couldn't give it ZERO stars read more

I know everyone raves about this place but I've had both, sandwiches and saladas and I wasn't too impressed. But staff is super nice!

What happened to this place? I ordered a half roast beef grinder. The meat was not just overcooked, but completely tasteless. The horseradish mayo was not remotely horseradish. Even with tons of salt and pepper it was unsalvageable. I tossed it. And it was wildly overpriced. All i ordered was the half sandwich. $11. Used to enjoy stopping in but will never go there again. What a shame. read more

Ok let's be honest... this place is not good and completely overpriced! Let's start with nothing is fresh....everything is microwaved frozen stuff. For example the chicken is so premade it might as well say frozen Tyson on the glass case. The dressing they have for salads and sandwiches are in little packages and they are expired! Nothing is fresh or made in this place and the $11 sandwich I got was literally so small and not good at all. I don't know how this place stays in business. Way better options everywhere! read more

The grinders were excellent! My husband had the shaved steak and cheese(pictured). I had the meatball and fresh mozzarella grinder. It was the best grinder i've ever had. Top notch hospitality as well! A must try. You wont be disappointed. read more

Nardelli's Grinder Shoppe - Italian combo w/ birch beer - Sandwiches Near Me - Southbury, Connecticut

They allways were amazing and there salads homemade a bit pricey but I guess you get what you pay for

My go-to whenever I'm back in CT even just for a couple hours like today. No Nardellis in NH so have to stop whenever I can. Southbury shop is always my favorite. They are so nice and the chicken salad is always consistent - just perfect. Italian combo is always a winner too and have to get a birch beer. read more

Look im not going to give you a bad star rating, but i just want you to know that i got a mud pie last night, and it was horribly sour. Not cool. That could easily make somebody sick. read more

Horrible customer service. The guy working here asked me for my order and then proceeded to ignore me completely and talk to someone else. Go somewhere else like I did. read more

I have never been thrilled with Nardelli's subs but I was really hungry at 8pm last night so I drove by on my way home from work and ordered an Eggplant Parm sub. First off, when I unwrapped it the bottom of the bread was burnt. I figured no big deal, I don't need all that bread anyway. Then I took a bite of the sub and tasted cheese and bread, NO EGGPLANT. At this point, I opened the sub and began searching for any sign of eggplant. There was NO EGGPLANT. Instead there was some sort of cornbread concoction, some cheese and a bit of marinara sauce. I wound up throwing a $15 sub in the trash. Disappointed and disgusted. I have had exceptionally better Italian food when I lived in Dallas than I have had at Nardelli's. read more

One of the best sandwiches ever. It was stuffed full of salami, ham, cheese, olives, hot sauce and the roll was soft and delicious. There is limited seating inside but it was such a nice day we sat at the outdoor tables. These are mammoth sandwiches so I opted for the 1/2 which was enough. The service was great and staff welcoming and friendly. read more

Nardelli's Grinder Shoppe - Ooohhhh cake - Sandwiches Near Me - Southbury, Connecticut

The salads are refreshing, crispy, and well dressed. The only thing that I enjoy feasting upon more than the mouth watering array of hot meals neatly and professionally arranged behind the glass display case are their desserts. This location harbors a delightful smattering of both traditional AND unorthodox desserts which will tickle even the pickiest of taste buds. The Cannolis are exquisite as is the cheescake, tiramisu, and any of their smaller dessert options which are conveniently packaged in "to-go" containers. Yum. read more

There used to be a little grinder shop where I lived in Stratford. It's no longer there, but I remember the taste of the food, and have tried to find it duplicated elsewhere. Nardelli's is the place that recreated the taste I remember. My favorite is the Italian Combo - it has to have everything and hot sauce. I've tried a few other sandwiches, but that's the one I keep going back to. I always get a whole one, intending to eat half, and save the rest for lunch the next day, but that has yet to happen. Service is fast, and everything tastes fresh. You can't ask for more from a sandwich shop. read more

awful. just awful. stopped in for a chix parm piece. i realize they are all about grinders but wanted without bread. stringy Cutlet & sauce like hunts canned chunky tomato. TOOK 2 bites & threw out. maybe theyre used to getting away with this for grinders, where the bread hides alot. not the original Waterbury Nardellis i grew up with. AWFUL. read more

stopped in for a quick bite. had the chicken cutlet. delicious sandwich with fresh ingredients. the people who waited on us were attentive and helpful. great experience read more

This Nardelli's has gone down hill significantly! I'm not sure if there are new owners or what happened but our visit today was disturbing. My husband order a chicken cutlet sandwich that was messy, rubbery and missing cheese. When he opened it the sandwich wasn't even cut through the bread. It was just thrown together and falling apart everywhere. I had an italian combo and the hard roll was so hard it actually hurt my mouth to eat. I don't even understand how the sandwiches were served this way. We will never go back now especially if this is the quality we will be getting. read more

Absolutely best subs in ct. ordered 4 Italian subs to take to my son and family in Vt. Owner in south bury is very accommodating and friendly love this deli read more

Great place to get a grinder since they opened this location. They don't overcharge you like Mikee's place and they certainly don't leave you feeling hungry afterwords like subway. Once in a while, I will go in a receive a completely wrong order (but that's usually when the new people are working) If you are craving a grinder and you have $10 on you, hurry on over you will not regret it read more

I've been here twice now. I see their advertisements on occasion on local TV, and as I had to be in this area recently I gave them a second chance. Their sandwiches are huge. ....and that's about it for positive things to say. Their sandwiches are mediocre at best. Their choice of toppings were extremely limited in comparison to a Subway, or even a Big Y, and they were out of Italian dressing. (really?) The chicken cutlet I ordered had the consistency of processed/reconstituted chicken paste, much like a McD nugget, and the bread was bland. Again, Big Y has multiple choices of bread, and Subway is famous for it's wide variety of bread options. Much better options for less money. So, all this place seems to have is an old and outdated local history, and some aging fans. read more

I always try to find one of these shops when I pass thru CT. I am heading from NYC to Maine and this was just the break I needed. Amazing breads! Really full sandwiches and all the salads to choose from. I would say if you haven't tried this spot DO IT!!! You won't be disappointed! read more

I walked into Nardellis in Southbury last night to place an order. I saw many people being helped by two individuals, Madeleine who waited on me and John who was making sandwiches. When it was my turn Madeleine was apologetic for the wait. She explained that someone had called out sick and they were very short staffed. Those two individuals were working under pressure and did an incredible job. They were very patient, kind and attentive to every single patron they helped. It was impressive to watch as a customer. I was looking for spinach bread and did not see any. Madeleine offered to go in back to see if they had more and they did. I left and on my way to Hartford I discovered that I received broccoli bread in error. I called and explained that there was a mixup. Madeleine immediately and without hesitation took responsibility for the error. She wanted to make my experience right. She offered to give me the correct bread but since I do not live in the area I asked for a refund and she did it without hesitation. Great customer service! The next time I am in the area I will be stopping there to purchase a sandwich. read more

Very slow service. All employees walking around talking while the line was huge. Meanwhile the utensils area was completely empty; no napkins, no utensils or anything. Would drive the extra miles just to go somewhere else read more

Nothing special I don't get what all the hype is about. I ordered an Italian combo and the cold cuts they use are super salty and of low quality. While I appreciate the people from nardelli's responding to my review it still doesn't change the fact that I was less than impressed and the thought of mayonnaise and hot sauce on an Italian combo sounds like an "agita" special....... If I wanted the sandwich that way then that's the way I would've ordered it in the first place. Whenever I order an Italian combo the only condiment I add is balsamic vinegar. What's the point of adding mayo, hot sauce and diced and marinated vegetables? To me it sounds like all that stuff is trying to mask something? Everything at nardelli's is pre cooked and left in a cooler until it's ordered and then tossed in a microwave to be reheated? I don't know but that's not my idea of "quality ingredients" or a "wonderful product". Arrivederci nardelli's!! read more

Has anyone every wondered how long some of the items in the display case have been there before they microwave them? Maybe I'm spoiled being from North Jersey and having sandwich shops and delis on every corner, but I'm no fan of the self proclaimed best grinder in Connecticut. Head down Main Street a little further and get a sandwich at Mikee's Place instead. read more
