    Sorry for the pictures I should have used my other phone
    Kandace M.

    When I walked in I guess he was the manager or the owner he does not play he let me know everything how to do it he was amazing the staff was amazing as well I end up getting I think it was called the sliders I got a roast beef one and then I got an Italian one and I put everything on there and I mean everything they got a board where it tells you all the things that it can hold it was really good and then I got there waffle roll up that was all so good

    I've been searching for a 'go to' CT grinder spot for years. I'm from CT where 'subs' were always referred to as 'grinders'. Over the years, and having purchased many of these types of sandwiches all over the country, I'd come to the conclusion that the main difference between a sub & a grinder was in the oil and in the fact that grinders had shredded lettuce. Nardelli's (a rewards club restaurant-for which I quickly applied prior to downloading their user friendly app & prior to ordering) proved to me that there are even more differences, mostly in the taste and texture. Natdelli's does it right! The only reason I gave them only 4 stars is because, although the bread was great, there was just too much of it and it almost over powered the grinder.

    Ordered lunch during my break from this Nardelli's and the staff were so friendly and welcoming! This was my first time visiting this particular location and it certainly won't be my last. The sandwiches were packed full and were consistent with the freshness and deliciousness that I'm used to from the Naugatuck location! Plenty of seating and all of the tables were clean. Love the side salads and desserts as always. Already looking forward to my next visit to Nardelli's!

    Consistently perfection! Always made and packed super neatly. Can't even think about ordering an Italian combo somewhere else - Nardelli's for the win :)

    Amazing service and the grinders were so delicious. We'll definitely be back next time we are in town for a real sandwich.

    Italian Combo with "Everything" except hot sauce
    Dan M.

    I was finally able to visit here. It was small with multiple tables to sit at. Besides sandwiches, they had lots of options to choose from salads to hot foods to desserts. The ordering at the counter was easy and my food was ready quickly. I went with the whole Italian combo ($8.95). It consisted of pruzitini (baked ham with black peppercorns), capicola, and salami. I ordered with their 'everything'. That consisted of mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes diced vegetables, provolone cheese, olives, and hot sauce. I asked for no hot sauce. The sandwich was big and had lots of meat and toppings. The bread was my favorite component. It was not too soft or hard, just the right balance. All of the fixings also appeared to be fresh and of good quality. Will I go back? No doubt.

The store is family owned, clean, and well stocked. And now they also have a great deli at the back of the store. They obviously did their homework and invested in the best equipment and products to make delicious sandwiches, wraps, and salads. They're using very fresh produce, Napoli Import deli meats and cheeses, and fresh grinder rolls from Neri's Bakery in Port Chester, NY. I've been going in Grand News for a few years and the family that owns it are friendly honest people. They're putting a lot of care into every sandwich and salad that they make for each customer. Jay made an awesome Italian Combo grinder for me. It was one of the best I've ever had. And Diana made a crisp beautiful salad for me to take home to my wife. Their menu continues to grow and includes breakfast sandwiches, soups, and specials such as authentic Indian cuisine. Best wishes and much success to Neil, Carol, and Jay.

The cold lettuce and room temperature tomatoes compliment the unique tasting, local Kraft dairy mart cheese that is individually wrapped to preserve the freshness. Every bite had the crisp tomatoes gushing with ripe tomato juice. I didn't know tomatoes could do that. Go white bread for the bologna bonanza and the potato roll for the award winning cheese but double cheese me sandwich.

There is one other Jersey Mike's I have visited in Stamford that's like right next to the Merritt, but I didn't really think about going to review that location when I went there. Normally, my Jersey Mike's orders are from the Wilton location, but what I have noticed about their food in all 3 locations (and yes, that does also mean this location) is that you can't really go wrong if you know what you're ordering. Like the other 2 spots, I got a good sandwich from this location. If you don't order online and still want a life hack, order the giant sub when you go. You might be paying more in the short term, but it's actually more cost-efficient if you're like me and need something for later. In other words, ordering one giant sub will save you more money than just ordering 2 6"-subs if you're getting the same sandwich. As for the inside of this location itself, there isn't really much to it. The drinks are off to the side if you are getting a drink with your order, and I was good to order right away. It did take a short while to get my order, but that's not too bad because I wasn't really in a rush today. It was too hot outside to do that anyhow. Other than the wait, I will say I did get decent service here. Not a bad Jersey Mike's location at all. I just don't get more chances to come to this location because the WalMart I have to go to when I need items is on the other side of an extremely busy street for a road that's on the city outskirts.
