I had a breakfast sandwich at Nardelli's for the first time. Excellent sandwich and the staff was very nice.

I have only eaten at a Nardelli's twice. The first time was terrific. But we were very disappointed today. My husband and I split a seafood salad grinder that had no flavor. It was picked high but no flavor. Then our daughter ordered a half...cheese and they got the ingredients very mixed up and made a whole grinder not half. She was so disappointed .More

I called and ordered a couple of grinders and they were totally wrong. One was supposed to be a whole ham am chz lettuce tomato and banana peppers and mayo hot in oven and instead I got cucumber green pepper added and some other pepper...and chopped red onion idk. The other was supposed to be ham cheese lettuce tomato green pepper and hot pepper and he got no hot peppers and got some red peppers and neither were hot in oven. By the time we tried to call and say we got wrong order they had already closed. This was terrible. They are lucky we aren't allergic to any of the wrong ingredients they added. The sad part is the ham tastes great it's a good portion and the service over the phone was nice. They need to pay more attention to the orders . I'm pissed. And hungry.More

I've been here twice now. I see their advertisements on occasion on local TV, and as I had to be in this area recently I gave them a second chance. Their sandwiches are huge. ....and that's about it for positive things to say. Their choice...of toppings were extremely limited in comparison to a Subway, or even a Big Y, and they were out of Italian dressing. (really?) The chicken cutlet I ordered had the consistency of processed/reconstituted chicken paste, much like a McD nugget, and the bread was bland. Again, Big Y has multiple choices of bread, and Subway is famous for it's wide variety of bread options. Much better options for less money. So, all this place seems to have is an old and outdated local history, and some aging fans.More

I am a misplaced CT Yankee living in Texas, and I am visiting my old home town. I have not had a good grinder for years, so I stopped by here to refresh old memories. The interior was friendly and welcoming; the aroma of delicious...food permeated the place. I ordered the ORIGINAL, and I was extremely pleased. Service was quick, friendly, and I was served up a grinder that was fresh, properly seasoned, and chock full of meat, cheese, and vegetables on a delightful loaf of delicious bread. I am a happy camper. If I ever pass this way again, this will be on the top of my list of places to visit.More

On our way home from Massachusetts, we stopped for lunch and found this place. DH and I shared a chicken parm grinder. We could have easily shared just one half of a sandwich. It was huge!! And tasty. We bought a cannoli for the ride...home. I do recommend that cannoli's be filled at the time of ordering, as it was on the stale side. Overall, a good place for lunch.More

This was my sixth different Nardelli’s location. I have always had a good meal at the other locations. So when I was in the area, I decided to stop here for an early dinner. Walking inside, it is the smallest location I have seen so...far. They have a few tables along with lounge chairs in front of a faux fire place. There are a few tables outside alongside the building. I ordered the Nardelli’s turkey club half grinder($6.80). The sandwich was made with fresh bread and stuffed with turkey, cheese, and veggies. They added mayo and hot sauce for flavor. It was delicious. Friendly service.More

Decent selection of meats and cheeses for their sandwiches, but--sheesh--the rolls they use appear to be straight from the Wonder Bread factory! What ever happened to authentic, crusty, tasty Italian rolls? Nardelli's rolls are puffy, soft, and tasteless...like eating a sandwich in a down jacket!More
