Lately I've been visiting western CT every other weekend. This is my favorite place to eat in that area. Their sandwiches or grinders as they're known locally are very good. They take baked portions of various meats, warm them up and add condiments some usual (tomato, lettuce, mayo, black olives), some not (diced veggies, some sort of hot sauce). So far I've tried baked pastrami (my favorite) & turkey club (excellent). They also sell some wonderful desert concoctions of various pudding cups. The salads are fairly good, but pricey. The only item I've ever had that wasn't good was the macaroni salad. Too bland for my taste. Overall very, very good. read more

Always great sandwiches. When I travel from NY to Boston, this is a reliable stop that has something for everyone. I particularly like how well they customize with unusual items read more

I have been a customer here for quite a while. All of the sandwiches I have ordered are great, this is one of the few places I will order something I normally would not order at all and have not been disappointed. The food is fresh and the place is very, very clean . The sandwiches and serving sizes are large. Service has always been quick and the staff is very courteous. read more

First...it's 7:00 on a Sat night and they are mopping floors with all the chairs up. Nothing says "we want to close so hurry up." Can't order steak with anything other than provolone or without onions because it's premade. Then pay for a Pepsi fountain drink. Get the ice in the cup and it starts spraying all syrup. Guy says "oh it's been broken all night." What the heck? Then tell us. read more

Very impressed with how beautifully the display case is put together...someone there takes pride in this and it shows.

This place is awesome. The food quality and variety is on point. The service is exceptional. The prices are definitely reasonable and the wait time is minimal. Without a doubt the best sandwich shop around. read more

Thanks to Yelp when I was starving I found this fan favorite and got an awesome Italian Grinder. It was excellent and so big I had leftovers for later. The bread was quality with a slight chewiness to it...perfect. All the ingredients were fresh, perfect dispersal of toppings and sandwich craftsmanship. Definitely recommend. read more

Outstanding!!!! great service and the pastrami grinder was absolutely awesome!!! You can't go wrong eating here.

We have passed this place many times in the past while in Danbury. We decided to go in. The atmosphere was very nice. Staff seemed very nice and the line went quickly. The sandwiches were just OK. Nothing to really go crazy about but very good sandwiches. Cost was about $$$. read more

I read the previous reviews and decided to try it the next time I was driving past on Newtown Road. Very glad I did. Walked into s clean, welcoming space with good lighting (if I can't see what I'm eating, is there a reason?!), with a well staffed deli counter. The sandwiches are split between pre-prepared selections that can be freely customized to your tastes, or any combo of cold cuts that can be tailored to your tastes as well. Any sandwich can be done as a plate as well if you're watching carbs. And on the subject of carbs, the wedge bread is a perfect launching pad for the fresh fillings offered. It's a great Italian loaf bread with good crust, solid innards, and soft without wimpiness or lack of absorbency. Bravo! Staff were attentive and friendly, and my sons were accommodated with care and genuine hospitality. This is not cheap chow. Its not expensive, though. I think that for what you get, the price point is right on. There are national chain sub shops nearby if you enjoy that kind of extruded plasticized bread with factory meats. But if you enjoy fresh and tasty, come here. read more

Nardelli's Grinder Shoppe - Nardelli's counter and dining area. - Delis Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

This is my first visit to this awesome little deli and it was very impressive. As one who frequently dines at sandwich and sub shops, this place takes the cake. Excellent choices for subs and very decadent dessert choices. The bread to me set the sub apart. Italian coffee had me ordering coffee before I left as well. It was nice to see canoli at a shop. Super friendly staff too. Only wish I could stop in weekly! read more

I've been hearing about this place for years and for some reason never tried it, until tonight. I am now officially a Nardelli's convert. They had gluten-free bread which is still decently difficult to come by in a mainstream deli, the employees behind the counter were quick and helpful, and the sandwich rocked. I got a cold cut sandwich and my boyfriend got a buffalo chicken hot grinder, which he described as "excellent". I also have to mention that the portions were huge and they had a ton of gluten-free cookie options. I just fell in love and honestly I'll probably go back tomorrow. read more

Our first time here from NYC and we loved it. The sandwiches are just delicious and the vibe is friendly. The restaurant is also super clean. We highly recommend this awesome sandwich shop. read more

I have been to many Nardelli's before as I used to live in CT, but while back in the area with our hockey team; we stopped into this location and had an unbelievable experience. We called ahead and the manager said they would be able to accommodate 30 of us with less than 20 mins notice. The entire staff and management was A+ and we would recommend any sports team to stop at this location (near highway) for their team meal needs with great service. depfyk-7Xuwji-rogzej read more

I wish NYC had a place like this. There was a lot of variety to choose from but I stuck to the basics and had a whole Italian grinder. These things are huge but it was pretty damn tasty so I was tempted to eat the whole thing in one sitting. The only thing I'd do next time is get extra hot peppers. Wasn't spicy at all for me and the guy at the counter double checked if I wanted them! Next time, MORE! read more

Nardelli's is a constant in CT and they seem to be popping up everywhere. With that said, I have to agree with a prior review from Saul G. The bread is a huge fail. Actually, there are a few fails at Nardelli's. Cost being one and un-inspired sandwiches being top of the list. I've been to Nardelli's numerous times hoping and wishing that it would bowl me over. It just hasn't. And sandwiches should be easy, there are only so many ingredients you can stuff in them. The soups aren't bad however overall I'd say that it is mediocre food at a fairly decent price. Is it better than Subway, without a doubt yes. Is it better than Blimpies? Not really. Is it better than Jersey Mikes? Nope. I'd still say give them a try with your favorite sandwich, you may get luckier than me! read more

Nice place for grinders. I got the Italian special, which seems to be the house specialty. I got it with everything, and despite my Philadelphia-raised wife's horror at getting mayonnaise on an Italian hoagie, I would recommend doing the same. It's not long on decor, but it was a nice stop off for a quick bite on the highway read more

The subs here are enormous, they pack them full with big hearty ingredients! I had the chicken eggplant and it was very good. A lot of options and a variety for everyone. read more

The meatballs and eggplant parm had the reheated-in-microwave feel to them. Microwave? Really? I bet they didn't rate this location while judging best grinder in Connecticut. Thoroughly disappointed with this place. I am so upset cuz it's right next to my home. read more

My first experience with Nardelli's and it will not be the last. Everything about the italian combo- the bread, meats, cheese and vegetables were truly first rate. And the thing was the size of a small baseball bat. I'm not in the area often but when I am, more often than not I'll be stopping by Nardelli's read more

Good food and friendly service, a solid three-star restaurant. I ordered the Italian combo "with everything" and it was tasty. The roll was fresh and the sandwich was loaded with meat and fresh vegetables. I have to say that I was expecting more based on the other reviews, but I was satisfied with my sandwich. read more

Got this for take out when we were driving through Danbury and I was amazed at how large the sub was. Very delicious!

Amazing. Had the Italian Combo and asked for it served hot. Also got everything on it. I would recommend.

The only problem with this place is the bread. The bread is alway stale and dry at least 1 to 2 days old. If I wanted old bread I would make my own sandwich at home for a fraction of the price. Rule of thumb a successful deli always has fresh bread. read more

My experience was very nice. I went with the Yelp recommendations and ordered a half Italian with everything. I am glad I went with the half as they are quite large. Service was very prompt and friendly. I had glanced at their menu before going in and was tempted by the desserts. When I saw them in the display, I could not help but to add a cannoli to my order. The shell was one of the better ones I have ever eaten, however the filling was quite a bit sweeter than I expected. It was still good, just unexpected. read more

A textbook example of a classic restaurant going straight downhill after franchising it out. When you spend $10+ on a grinder, you expect some meat on it. Twice now in two different locations, I received one layer of chicken cutlet on a giant roll where often times you were taking a bite with no meat whatsoever. And the cutlet was mushy to top it off. Celebrate what was, but it's time to move on Connecticut. read more

No fresh sandwiches you are forced to eat in the window and it wasn't good only thing that on my sandwich was the bread and yes there is onion in the macaroni salad thanks read more

Were it not for all the hype I would consider giving the place four stars,. The portions are large, the ingredients are fresh, the sandwiches are well made, and the people are nice. But the bread is a fail. It's soft and cottony, with little in the way of a crust. The meats in the Italian combo are mild, the eggplant parmigiana is bready without being crisp, and the mozzarella in a chicken and mozzarella is industrial. A side of tortellini salad. was overcooked. There are places in the Northern suburbs that can pull off a real deal Italian sandwich, for me this doesn't make the cut. That being said, it's much better than a Subway or Quizno's.I added some artisanal hoagie peppers to the leftovers of my Italian combo and was quite pleased. Maybe that's the trick. read more

Driving through the state we were looking for something quick to eat and this is where we landed. What a treat. A great sandwich with quality ingredients. The sandwiches were stacked with ingredients. I'm glad I asked how big the grinders were because a half is huge! The desserts looked excellent, unfortunately I did not have room for more. I wish they had these in the Midwest. read more

I was not thrilled when my husband wanted to stop at a sandwich shop for dinner. Menu sounded ok so I agreed. I got the balsamic chicken and hubby got a meatball. The chicken was excellent! Not at all dry and I LOVE the classic mix veggies!! He wasn't too impressed with the meatball, but the bread was really good. Crisp crust and soft on the inside. We also got a tossed salad. I loved the house vinagrette! More vinegar than oil just like I like it. I will definitely go back! read more

Lot of options to choose from. Had the foot long Chicken Parm. Food tasted pretty good. Restaurant is very clean. It will cost around $10 per person. WIll definitely go back there again. read more

Not the cheapest deli, but food in CT seldom is. You do, however, get every penny's worth here.

I was very impressed with the quality and taste of their grinders. I stopped here with my wife for lunch just to check out the place and the food was really good and the service was also very good. read more

Italian combo was unbelievable! Wow. Everything in the deli case looked so colorful and so fresh i wanted to try everything!

Great grinders. Highly recommend the pastrami. Delicious. The large was huge 2 women can easily split.

Decent sandwich place I like the choices in the case but I don't like that they microwave everything that's pretty gross. I do like the veggie mix on the sandwiches though overall quality is alright staff is friendly and they have good variety read more

Worst Customer Service experience of my life. We ordered a Chicken Sandwich with bacon and mushroom and it didn't have any bacon on it. We brought the sandwich back and they made us pay for "extra" bacon. Never coming back!!!!! read more

This restaurant is amazing. They always get the order right and go above and beyond for their customers. I come here at least once a week on break and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. It's clear the owner has high standards and takes pride in her work. Honestly, the level of service to me can't compare to other Delis in Danbury. Highly recommend 5/5 ! read more

I recently visited the Danbury location of Nardelii's. I ordered a ham, cappicola & provolone sandwich with a few toppings. The employee making my sandwich didn't write the order down and had to repeatedly ask me what I wanted on my sandwich. Lettuce, salt, pepper, oil & vinegar. I was dismayed to when I opened it to find that the ham was crappy boiled ham that is over processed - almost like a ham loaf. I'm not wow'd by Nardelli's and don't believe I'll be returning. read more

I have to say after driving by pass Nardelli's numerous times, finally I decided to walk in. Wow, what I've been missing, Everything you look for in a Deli. A great selection of fresh cold cuts, fresh bread, prepared food, salads and imported cheese. Not to mention they carry there own brand of root beer soda. Which I love. I had an amazing tunafish sandwich and my girlfriend had a roast beef sandwich we split both sandwiches and we were very satisfied. I was very impressed of how immaculate the place is and there impeccable service. Definitely worth coming back. Jeff read more
