Your eggplant parm sub is my favorite part of driving to CT that and the Napoli stuffed cherry peppers. I always send a picture to tease the other workers when I stop by. Thank you

Visiting, first time here. Subs were great. Love the bread especially..but service was subpar. The lady seemed to either hate her job or maybe just having a bad day. The atmosphere didn't feel welcoming, (and for a first time experience, I’m not expecting a grand entrance at a sub shop by any means but i did feel like I was an inconvenience. Otherwise the food was great, place was clean and would return when we visit again. Hopefully just a fluke day!

The Danbury location on Newtown Rd is bright and immaculate and Jim and his staff were very welcoming and helpful! I grew up near Waterbury so Nardelli’s was a household name and I always need an Italian combo when I travel back. The sandwich was excellent although I miss bread with a little more “tooth”. I lamented to Jim about the demise of the great CT bread bakeries like Milite’s etc… the rolls and breads at Nardelli’s come from NY and my bread was good, but not great. The quality and presentation of everything was awesome- see video! I grabbed a salad to go for tomorrow for a post holiday healthy choice… looks awesome and dressing is homemade. I didn’t make it out of the driveway before I dug into my filled-to-order delicious cannoli, too! I had promised myself I would wait un

I started coming here when they first opened. Can get pretty busy at lunch time but they do their best to keep the line moving. Not everyone I know agrees on their subs, in particular the bread but of me I'm very happy with their food. Things like side salads can get pretty pricey however. Very clean inside.

Definitely a place to go for "Non food chain", delicious options😋. Just GO NOW, they close early evening 😉.... the best places do!
