Nardelli's continues at a consistently high level in all areas. The service is without exception friendly, and unrushed with a dedication to getting the customer order just right. The restaurant is always clean and bright, a pleasure whether doing takeout or eating in. It very quickly became a favorite when they opened and remains so. My family enjoys their salads especially the potato, macaroni and chicken salads. Also very good are the eggplant parmigian grinder and turkey wrap. The chicken cutlet grinder is a great choice too. Their tortellini salad and Cole slaw are excellent. And for desserts, I have had the cherry cheesecake and canoli. I brought canolis to a get together with friends and we all agreed they were the best we ever had. Thanks to all at Nardelli's for the hard work and dedication. It does not go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated by my family and me. read more

Growing up in Brooklyn, the food that is served at Nardelli's was a staple, something I was used to my mother making. I have lived in the South for 28 years where food that is served at Nardelli's is only a dream. My family and I have just moved to Southington. Driving into CT, I saw the billboards for Nardelli's but was wary because I thought, if this place has a billboard their food must not be as good as they say it is and they are begging for business. Well, let me tell you, I was so wrong! My husband and I stopped in for take-out two weeks ago and I returned yesterday. We had the Meatball, Chicken Parm & Eggplant Parm "grinders", (I will always call it a hero sandwich). Each one was DELICIOUS! The Eggplant Parm is my favorite, I have ordered it twice and both times is was outstanding. The bread they use is delicious and soaks in the sauce but is not soggy. There are MANY selections in the glass case and options for cold cut sandwiches. The servers are friendly and very professional and moved the long line very quickly. I am happy to live just a few short miles from this store and will make many trips there. read more

I grew up in the Waterbury area and have been going to Nardelli's since I was a young girl. My husband and I live outside of Boston in Wakefield, Ma. We went to the Southington store several weeks ago while on the way back from spending our Thanksgiving holiday with my husband's family on Long Island. We usually stop at the Waterbury store but because of the heavy traffic and, confusion because of the construction, we missed the exit. After a quick search we found out that there was now a store in Southington so we decided to go there since it was only about 15 minutes away. While my husband used the bathroom I placed our order. I ordered an italian combo grinder for him with just mustard, lettuce and onions and for me a chicken salad wrap with everything except olives and hot sauce. I also ordered 1/2 lb. of potato salad and another of macaroni. I had thought we would eat there but after several hours of travel already and several more to go my husband was anxious to get back on the road so we left. We ended up stopping at the first rest area after getting on the Mass Pike for gas. Since the traffic was very heavy and we were looking at a couple more hours travel we decided to take a break and eat. It was then that we found out that my husband's italian combo was actually ham and turkey with mayo, lettuce, tomato and cheese. My husband doesn't like mayo on his sandwiches and hates tomatoes. Thinking we might have gotten the wrong order I carefully checked my wrap. It was chicken salad but it was loaded with olives and I could see there was hot sauce on it too. We decided to make the best of it so my husband scraped off as much of the mayo he could and took off the tomatoes. I picked out most of the olives as I ate each half but there wasn't much I could do about the hot sauce. To be honest the salads also weren't that good either. The potato salad had way to much mayo and tasted salty. The macaroni salad was just the opposite. It was dry and had very little taste. This was all disappointing to say the least. We won't be going through Connecticut again until we go to my in-laws for our Easter holiday. If we do stop at Nardelli's it will be at the Waterbury store. read more

Best eggplant parm grinder in the history of food, period! In my honest opinion anyway. Living in Florida, we just can't get em like this!

I love this place! The service is awesome and the food is also great. I usually get the prosciutto and it's delicious.

I've since been back to this particular location since my last not so pleasant experience & I must say service has turned around. Was greeted very enthusiastically which is what I enjoy about coming to Nardellis. Just one issue, the cashiers can be a bit more attentive when making orders. A few of the toppings I asked for in my wrap were not there. I didn't eat in so by the time I got home and noticed it wouldn't make much sense (to me) to drive all the way back. But I'm gonna go ahead and give the benefit of the doubt that it was due to the heavy volume of customers since it was lunch time on a Saturday. read more

Thank you Nardelli's (Southington location) for your perfect consistency. I am always so pleased with your service and quality and cleanliness. I just know that when I visit your deli I will leave a satisfied customer. We stopped by for a grinder on Saturday 8/27/16 and once again, we were greeted so kindly and had the most delicious grinder. Thank you. We really appreciate Nardelli's. read more

If I have a craving for a cold cut sandwhich this is the only place I go. I'm not all that impressed with a lot of the hot sandwhichs, I've tried several. Although they looked delicious. The meats are already cooked and reheated. read more

I love Nardelli's and I'm so glad there's one close by! It's so convenient and quick and it's a huge plus that all the Nardelli's mirror each other so perfectly. I'm never disappointed and as much as I intend to veer away from my go-to and try something new, I always end up getting the Chicken Eggplant. So delicious! There is so much to choose from, you can please anyone here due to the huge variety. The staff here are so friendly and service is always fast no matter what you order. read more

We have in the past, gone to the Waterbury Nardelli's but it's a pain to get there. So now that there is one in Southington, we decided to try it. I called in the order and was told to allow 15 to twenty minutes. I gave them 20. When I arrived, they staff had not even started the order. After a couple of minutes, my order was "ready." I asked if the eggplant chicken was hot. It was slightly warm. I'm used to hot grinders that are baked in an oven but it seems the Southington Nardelli's uses a MICROWAVE! The other grinder was a cold tuna with just onion and cheese. I'm stunned with how little tuna was on this sandwich and if I looked hard, I could find a little onion. The roll was large so in effect I paid for a small loaf of Italian bread. I pretty sure I could buy a loaf of Italian bread at Stop and Shop for less than $2.00. Needless to say, I've never been so disappointed with grinders. Don't waste your time or money. read more

I've really tried to like this Nardellis. Went again and they messed up my takeout order. I ordered a turkey with bacon and extra mayo. No bacon and barely any mayo. In the past whenever I've gotten anything except "the works" it has been messed up. Also after eating in Waterbury location this one just seems off. Not sure why they are friendly there but it feels like making a recipe and while ur eating it u realize u didn't use enough of something. Anyway they need to work on take out service. Only thing I would recommend is the Italian combo but even that seems off. Disappointed cause I've went many times. Prob my last visit. read more

Yesterday I placed a to go order for 2 whole Italian grinders, 1 whole crab & shrimp grinder and a half chicken grinder. Well, they ran out of grinder rolls and had to make our grinders on hard roll instead. How can a grinder shop run out of their biggest ingredient? I spoke to the manager and he said they got a big order in the morning which caused them to run out, you think they could of got more since they had all day to get more. I told him I'm extremely disappointed and the grinder roll they use makes the sandwich. I also said this is like a pizza place running out of pizza dough, these things should not and do not happen. The manager just blew it off and didn't even offer any kind of concession, not that I was looking for any. Also, the shorted my order by 1 Italian grinder which is being made on 2 hard rolls and when they did make the sandwiches they forgot to put mayonnaise on them. I'm not very happy in the way I was treated and I'm not going back. Stop & Shop makes Boars Head grinders that are less expensive and have better quality meats and cheeses though the roll isn't quite as good. No I don't work for Stop & Shop, just trying to help customers make better choices. read more

Average. Have been to new location twice. Long lines (as expected) with fresh bread (as expected). First trip got a prosciutto and fresh mozz with tomato grinder but they don't have pesto. Was a little bland could have used something else so overall was decent but not the most amazing thing. Today got a turkey grinder that was definitely below par. Wrong cheese on my sandwich. Tomatoes are gross and orange (not ripe) and the turkey is not appealing at all. The guy had to ask for the order several times. Probably overpriced for what you're ultimately getting if you are ordering just a sub. Pickles are delish! read more

I first have to say that when I first tried the original location in waterbury about 7-8 years ago, the food seemed fresher and it was one of the best subs that I have ever had at that time. With that being said, I have tried the food since, specifically the Southington location on a few occasions, and each time I have been greatly disappointed. This is including tonight's order. The food is all Napoli and not made fresh on premise. When you walk in and see the options behind the glass the food looks amazing. When prepared, they use only microwaves to heat the food up. Absolutely terrible! By the time you eat your order it's like chewing on a fake rubber sub! It's pretty much equivalent to eating at any other crappie fast food joint which I don't do anyway. $20 for two large subs with about 3-4 inches of it being bread only is a rip off! I'm better of driving to either Wethersfield house of pizza or Franklin Ave giant grinder to get a real deal sub. People, don't waste your hard earned money or calories. It's not worth it. I would love to stay local and support my towns establishments but I can't support this place. read more

The managers are extremely nice and professional. I have always had a great sandwich and we have no complaints, We ordered a tray of grinders and sides for our Wedding party while getting ready and all went smoothly and delicious! read more
