"The hardest decision you may ever have to make at lunchtime is between a hoagie, a grinder, or a submarine sandwich. They're all so enticing and, you know, almost exactly the same as one another. Whatever you want to call them, you can't go wrong with a big sandwich. Nardelli's Grinder Shoppe in Connecticut has been filling delicious Italian loaves with meat, cheese, and vegetables for more than a century."
"Founded by three brothers who had recently emigrated from Italy, Nardelli's started as a grocery store. The brothers bought their supplies from New York City, and on one of their trips, they discovered grinder sandwiches. The New York shop selling them was doing incredible business, and the brothers thought this was something that their store in Connecticut needed to sell, too."
Nardelli's Grinder Shoppe began as a grocery store founded by three brothers who emigrated from Italy and has been operating for more than a century. The brothers introduced grinder sandwiches after discovering them in New York City and built strong local demand in Waterbury. The business remained under original family control during the brothers' lifetimes and was passed down to other family members who still operate it. Nardelli's has won CT Magazine's Best Grinder every year for over two decades. The menu features cold and hot grinders, sides such as mac and cheese and potato salad, unique items like stuffed hot banana peppers and craisin walnut salad, and longstanding desserts including cannolis.
