I have traveled through CT for many years and have always heard that this chain was an excellent option for a quality grinder, but have never made it. Finally got my chance this weekend and was quite pleased. The price was reasonable and the grinder was a very solid offering. Don't waste time at places like Subway when you have options like this. read more

Ordered lunch from here on Uber Eats and the sandwiches were huge. The bread was crusty and thick. We loved both the Italian hoagie and the chicken cutlet hoagie. They were super flavorful and very filling. Unfortunately, they forgot to include our meatball sandwich, which was disappointing. That said, the food we did get was very tasty. Next time I'd probably pick it up in person to avoid any mix-ups, but overall a great lunch spot. read more

I was very disappointed after seeing reviews. The bread was soft and there was a lot of it. Being CT I expected a great crispy Italian roll. This was Subway with better meat. If people in CT think this is a great grinder, I have to wish I was younger to open one. The staff was very nice and the soup ok. read more

Got it delivered the sandwiches were really good very fresh really like the steak grinder read more

The food was okay, but the case was all frosted over, so that I couldn't really see what I was buying

Excellent friendly helpful service!! The meatballs were delicious and OUTSTANDING!! The basic tossed salad was super fresh and ENORMOUS! Best potato salad too!!!! Anyone being a nay sayer on this fabulous deli is a fraud.... just saying..... I'm now living out of state but when I'm back in town I will visit again!! Keep shining Nardelli's!! We appreciate you!! read more

Don't bother, directions were not followed at all. I ordered an Italian with dressing, salt and pepper, EXTRA pickles, olives, and mushrooms. Sandwich came dry to the bone. No dressing on it at all. Not only did I not get extra pickles, I got NO pickles. They literally gave me three olives (see photos). Sandwich and bread were so dry I reported to doordash, got my refund and threw it in the trash. The directions print out on the receipt when they get the order which means whoever was making it deliberately didn't follow directions. Too many other good options in the area to waste your time here. Really disappointing. read more

Super fresh bread and meat is top notch. Only thing I would change is dump Pepsi for Coke products

Sandwiches good HOWEVER soggy (because of mayo/ hot sauce) Also they never give enough cheese when you order the antipasto, ordered a pound and ONLY GOT two (!!!) pieces of cheese....seems EVERY TIME! Cheap. read more

Good meats, quality is great...sandwich prices are good compared to subway .. I shouldn't even be comparing, it to be honest . They also do have seating and it's clean, friendly service etc... Grazie! read more

DAMN this was a good grinder. I ordered delivery off grubhub. I got an Italian grinder, stuffed clams, and a slice of carrot cake. The key takeaway is that this place does one thing and does it well: the grinder was fantastic. The stuffed clams and carrot cake were fine bordering on bad, but I suppose that's not why I ordered from here. Sandwich was top 5 I've ever had. Great ratio of meat to cheese to veggies, bread was the perfect level of soft while still holding up. Sandwich was incredibly filling for being only $14 (and that may have been a marked up price for grubhub, I'm not sure). Delivery was packaged well and close to on time (a little delayed but I'm used to it in this area). I loved their chopped veggie mix and it was flavorful without overwhelming the taste of the sandwich. Would absolutely order again. Definitely want to try some of their hot sandwiches as well. read more

What a wonderful place! We were traveling and decided to stop for a grinder. We were pleasantly surprised with the menu, the location and the service! The shop had a great ambiance, which included a sitting area and a Chrstimas tree, which created a homey type vibe. The owner and his wife talked to us and took very nice care of us! My 9 year daughter still names Nardelli's as her favorite restaurant. - Massachusetts family read more

Nardelli's gets super high marks for menu variety and so many options. The showcase displays all of their sandwich fixings and really made it tough to make up my feeble mind. I ended up going for a Whole Barbecue Rib Grinder ($10.59) that yielded 2 pretty big portions. It was very similar to a McRib (yes, I've had that so don't judge me) on a soft Italian grinder roll served with Lettuce, Tomato, Classic Mix (Diced Veggies), Provolone Cheese, Olives & Hot Sauce. I skipped the included mayo because the Barbecue Hot Sauce and all of those diced veggies made this one impossibly sloppy sandwich to eat. Of course it was delicious! Nardelli's Covid protocol was a little confusing. There were just 2 counter spots open at a time for ordering, but they kept calling "next" before one of the two customers walked toward the register. We held back on approaching the counter because if we had moved forward there would have been no way to observe social distancing. There was also confusion at the cash register. Completed sandwiches were stacked on a table so the poor cashier had to clairvoyantly match the sandwiches with the customers and that was awkward and time consuming. As a result, customer stacked up waiting to pay, and no one was 6 feet apart. The store's interior is small, and they really have to do a better job thinking up a way to move customers through the process faster and safer. read more

Every time I visit Connecticut I always make a special trip here and it never disappoints. The bread is always fresh and amazing, they don't skimp on the meats, and their lettuce/salad mix with the peppers and such is fantastic. So many options to chose from, but I went with the classic turkey and provolone. I neglected to take any pictures because I was too excited to wait any longer than necessary. Not that you ever have to wait long here, the staff is always fast and super friendly. Not only do they have great subs, but there's a crazy amount of dessert selections. From cannolis, to cheesecake to carrot cake, to a freakin cheese cake burrito, you can get it all here. If you haven't been before I highly recommend stoping in read more

I've ordered here several times and each time I get what is advertised: a very good Nardelli grinder. There's nothing like the original but as they've grown they have made sure to have consistency and quality. I love being able to order on the app ahead of time to have an easy pickup. I've gotten several warm subs and they are always fresh when I pick them up. The veal is pretty good as is the chicken parm. Nothing fancy (and I'd like better additional sides to go with it) but solid grinder place. read more

Tried Nardelli's for the first time. I had the ham & cheese all the way less lettuce and tomatoes - solid sandwich. This location was clean and organized. The staff was somewhat rude which will make me a little reluctant to go back to this location. read more

Such a great place. The Italian Combo Grinders and the Grilled Chicken Grinders are so fresh. The bread is amazing and the toppings are so fresh. My fave is the large Italian combo with Everything!!!! read more

I bought a grinder at Nardellies and it was the best grinder!! The flavors are fresh and the grinders were not skimpy on the on the fixings!! read more

I was so looking forward to this Nardelli's that I didn't even know existed near me. I had such a great sandwich at Naugatuck so I thought let me go here and order a chicken cutlet sandwich. I gave it a two starts instead of one because the staff was very friendly. Back to my sandwich. The bread and the toppings were great but the chicken cutlet was super chewy and hard like it was a few days old or something. Super disappointed. Maybe they're having a bad day. I will come back and try again because this is not the sandwich place I know. read more

Has an excellent Chicken Salad half-sub. All white meat in good size pieces - (not ground up or chopped up fine) with mayonnaise. Very fresh roll. With subs, I usually eat half and take the other half home but this time I ate the whole thing. Delicious. read more

Good sandwich shop with many options. Had an Italian and I made the mistake of not readying what everything was. Hot sauce was included with everything but thankfully it wasn't overwhelming and the sub was better for it. read more

Fresh food, accommodating employees, generous portions from large menu, extremely clean environment

The pickles weren't even drained before putting them on the sandwich. The bun became absolutely saturated with juice and was literally soggy. The sandwich was literally inedible. It was an absolute waste of about $15 for one sandwich. Such apathy and questionable customer service. I'll choose another option before ever returning to the Nardelli's in Farmington. The experience was a complete and total disappointment. read more

Went to the Nardelli's in Farmington - nicest staff imaginable and great food. I can't get over how good their eggplant parm was! My son loved the lasagna, daughter super happy with mac n' cheese and my husband (usually full of complaints) raved about the chicken sandwich and the potato salad. Such a great stop returning to NYC from Mass. read more

I'm a nardelli's OG and ordered the Turkey Club Nardelli's style tonight. For those who don't know what that is, they bake the turkey, ham, cheese and bacon into squares and then put pre cut portions onto your grinder. ITS GREAT. Tonight I door dashed my order and it came as a regular deli turkey sandwich. Still good, but not my expectation. read more

Keeping this short. For the vegans/vegetarians, I highly recommend the chik'n sub. Great taste, flavorful, filling. However, today I tried the plant based Italian sub, and the slices were terrible. I've had vegan deli slices before that taste great, but the ones served here taste very syntheti, like a chemical/rubber taste, and like rubber, it's also very stretchy almost like a rubber band. I'm not one to make a scene especially when there were a lot of customers, cause I wanted to bring it in and tell them, but I ripped the "meat" off and just ate the rest. I ate it outside on the brick wall and tossed the "meat". The vegan mayo and cheese is good however. The service is otherwise fine, but this is a fair warning, do not try the plant based Italian sub. read more

Great food, huge portions sizes, & friendly staff! This place is quick, easy, and a perfect spot for luck everyday of the week!

My sis in law and brother live in Farmington and spoke highly of this place as I am obsessed with Italian subs. Mine was good but I was a little disappointed in the bread. It was just meh. Not crusty, a little too mushy for my taste. The sides needed salt but weren't soggy like other places. My husband loved his chicken cutlet with marinara sauce. The mud pie dessert was yummy. Everyone was so so nice when I went to pick up. I had ordered over l the phone with a lot of special requests and add one here and there and everything was exactly as ordered. read more

I'm obsessed with their Italian grinder. I load it up with oil, vinegar, Mayo, and all the veggies. I'm usually ordering via DoorDash or going in for pick up. Service is always fast and pleasant. Don't forget to try the mud pie parfait. It's to die for. read more

Recommended by other friends and just tried twice. Prefer hot grinder to the cold one, especially the eggplant chicken! It is really a huge grinder and two can share one actually. Really crowded in the noon. read more

When they get it right, the sandwiches are delicious. However, the last two times I ordered from the Farmington store, the attention to detail was sadly lacking. I am a vegan and usually order the vegan Italian combo, but what I got was a veggie wrap with regular mayo and dairy cheese, so I was unable to eat it. Yesterday, what I got was a thin wrap with a small amount of plant-based meat (only one kind) and the rest was mostly lettuce and chopped cucumbers. Please try harder! read more

The owner opened early for me because he saw I was waiting!!!! What a great guy, AND the sandwich was amazing! Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I was shocked to find out that they offer a vegetarian cold cut grinder! Pretty rare to see that in a lot of sandwich shops. It is absolutely delicious. They really give you your moneys worth here with a giant sandwich, and the works that they put on it makes it great! I will definitely be returning here for the vegetarian option. Love to see it! read more

Kind of a mad house inside if you've never been and don't know the system. Love being able to order online and just pick up.

I ordered sandwich platters for a family gathering. The store called to talk about the order, and took care to listen to my requests. The food was incredible--sandwiches, salad and dessert. Every bite was eaten.We've gotten grinders there before (the meatball grinder is superior!), but this was the first time we've used them for a small event. I will be a customer for a long time. read more

I don't understand why anyone would ever go to Subway when they have access to Nardelli's. I've visited more than 10 times and have never been disappointed by the taste or the service. The steak sandwich is my favorite and there is a lot of meat on the grinder, so I don't at all feel cheated. When I'm on the mood for a grinder, I'm willing to drive out of my way to give them my business. Quick, simple, and delicious dependability is all that customers really want, and they deliver! I also love that they ring a bell and say "grazie" when you leave a tip. Great place! read more

5/5 Being greeted walking in. 5/5 Asking if there were any questions on the menu. 5/5 Getting sandwiches made in a reasonable time after placing order (very quick service since I was there after lunch rush). Haven't been inside of a restaurant since COVID began, but I wanted to support a local establishment (and was able to sit inside, but there is limited seating and there is seating outside), and Nardelli's does not disappoint, as usual. This time I tried the Artisan Bread, which was very good, and not as filling as a sub roll. read more

Got the special Italian combo. As alway it was spot on. Added the deli pickle and tried the stuffed hot cherry peppers. Not we're excellent. As advertised read more

It's pretty mediocre. I've gone twice but honestly it just wasn't like wow. Decent sandwich place, clean restaurant but small tiny. Not much different from a Subway however might be more fresh than your local Subway. Unfortunately, I can only give mediocre up to 3 stars. Just isn't wow ya know. I can get a sandwich much less pricey and just as good from a local pizza parlor in walking distance. Sorry peeps. Good for lunch, but not worth going out of your way. Cause it's just not "to die for" if you understand? read more

waaay too much bread. very little inside ( Turkey & Cheese). Next time I want a grinder, Jersey Mikes for sure.
