    Oh...do you have to specify that sauce is standard with fried mozz anywhere in the western world??!
    JONNY S.

    UPDATED REVIEW: Fast forward 5+ years...Nardelli's STILL has no other heating devices than a "high-powered microwave". Despite my concerns in 2017.... Ordered meatball/sausage grinder, to be heated at home. I refuse to believe it's a training issue as much as clueless employee...but do you need to specify OH YEAH...I WANT SAUCE on a meatball grinder??!! Side of sauce s/b standard w/ fried mozzarella, no? The attached photo speaks for itself as well. So should I have opened my entire fkng order while on site to ensure everything was in order? APPARENTLY. Or...do I drive all the way back down Rt 10 to procure the missing sauces? NOT HAPPENING. Sadly, it should be obvious I'm pretty much moving on from Nardelli's at this point. PS - Cannolis STILL pre-made in the self-serve dessert cooler near the register, again....despite my concerns back in 2017.

    Italian Combo Half Grinder
    Kerry M.

    So I was driving by and on a whim decided to stop because I haven't had Nardelli's in years as there are none close to me. I was excited to try the Italian combo based on what the menu said the Italian combo was. I am not sure if the person making the sandwich didn't know what was on Italian combo but the picture attached here is what I got versus what the menu actually says. Highly disappointed. The only reason I gave two stars is because there was a lot of meat but I picked off one piece of each and did not finish the rest. It was just legit meat and bread...no cheese, no lettuce, no tomato no classic mix (which I was most excited about) no olives and no hot sauce. Nothing else, so insane how they can get that wrong....

    Chicken Cutlet Whole Grinder
    Tia Y.

    Dropped in after a bike ride along the Farmington Canal Heritage Rail Trail for lunch. We each got a whole sandwich to ourselves and woah, these sandwiches are huge! They really give you plenty to share for one sandwich. Tried the world famous Italian sandwich and it was good but wished we asked for oil and vinegar. There was too much mayo that the bread fell apart and it was difficult to eat. The chicken cutlet was really good and the hot sauce was a great addition. Very nice deli with lots of prepared foods and the service was quick and very pleasant. Glad we dropped in and tried this place for the first time!

    Half sours!

    Excellent grinders, filled with meat and cheese. The bread is fresh and good, and the service is fast and friendly.

    Pure sandwich heaven.

    Came back to Connecticut for a wedding and couldn't pass by a Nardelli's without getting a sub! This was my go-to sandwich shop when I lived in the Nutmeg state and it's one of the things I actually miss about Connecticut. I came here Saturday afternoon and ended up getting a half bbq bacon cheddar chicken sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. On top of getting a great sub this place makes there own Pop and I ended up getting a vanilla soda to go along with it. Nardelli's is the kind of place that you know you'll get a fresh sandwich at a reasonable price. Overall, this is my favourite sandwich shop in Connecticut and probably my favourite period.

    We love Nardellis no matter the location. This location is conveniently located in the same Plaza as the pet store where I buy my dog food. So, when the dog needs food, I get Nardellis. Seriously though the grinders are large, and worth every penny. I haven't had a huge selection of their prepared foods, but the potato salad was scrumptious. The best value for the dollar is the kids meal: sandwich, chips cookie, and a soft drink for one low price. In the nice weather they have a few tables of patio seating.

    I was on my way to the ice cream shop when my fiance recommended this place to eat. Being a jersey girl I don't mess with too many Italian spots out here. As soon as I walked in it felt like the deli at home. Beautiful selections of premade food and the menu was simple. We ended up doing an Italian combo with the works. Everything from lettuce to hot sauce. Wow, it was so damn good. The quality of the meat was exceptionally good. I wasn't a fan of the bread but maybe I will try it toasted next time. I loved how when we walked out the door they rang a bell and yelled gratzi!

    Asked for my usual veggie grinder..... Lettuce, tomato, onion, olives, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, banana peppers and pickles. Came home to this EMPTY sandwich. I'm absolutely fuming and the person who made me pay for this piece of bread with a slice of cheese and 2 onions on it should be fired. Won't be visiting this Nardelli's again. I'd rather make the drive to Watertown ave. Smh.

    Woohoo I'm not a sandwich kinda girl but getting a grinder from Nardeli' almost had me converted. The grinders here are wide and overstuffed! Prices run similar to other sandwich place in town but seriously getting a grinder from here will lasts three days even for someone who eats constantly like me. For $8 I felt I was getting more than what I asked for. The hot chicken is pretty amazing. I got all the fixing and wasn't charged extra. Will be back when out with people who enjoy grinders. This is a great addition to the plaza!

    delicious bread and meat galore

    When they were one location they were good. Now they're just like subway. Bulk things up with lettuce instead of meat.

    Not the best grinder around but certainly better than Subway. It's a shame that it's all kind of premade and just nuked to order.

    Long-time fan, but disappointed with the new Italian combo portions…read more I've been coming here for years and have always loved the Italian combo grinder -- the bread is still fantastic (crusty outside, soft inside, just right), the long hot peppers pack that perfect kick, and the overall flavor profile is still spot-on. The shop looks great after the recent updates under new ownership -- cleaner, brighter, more inviting space. That said, I was really let down on my first visit since the change. The grinder I got for lunch had noticeably less meat than before. What used to be a hearty, well-stacked sandwich with generous layers of cold cuts now felt skimpy on the protein -- probably about half (or less) the amount I was used to. The other components (cheese, veggies, hot sauce) were fine, but the lack of meat made it feel more like a veggie-heavy sub than the satisfying Italian combo I always counted on. Everything else was good -- friendly service, quick prep, fresh ingredients -- so I'm hoping this was just an off day or an adjustment period with the new team. I'd love to see the portions return to their old generous standard, because the foundation here is still strong. 2.5/5 stars from me right now. Still my go-to deli in the area, but I'll be watching to see if the meat comes back in full force. Keep up the great bread and peppers!

    Great deli foods and catering service devoted to the local community. Taking a place that wouldn't…read moreattract anyone to a level. It seen at this location in a very long time of ever. Nice remodel and some awesome additions to a much more modern menu and again with a keen eye toward the local community
