Great sandwich shop! Was in the area for work and stopped for a large Italian. It was fresh and everything tasted great. Everyone was friendly and the food was done quick. Highly recommended!

I ordered a salami grinder there a few weeks ago and it was absolutely delicious! The bread is light as air, the meats of excellent quality, and the owners were so friendly! I was by myself and sat down to eat my sandwich and felt so comfortable there. Today I am going there to try their meatball grinder and am really looking forward to it. I drive from Columbia to get there and it is well worth the ride!

The good folks at D'Elia's Bakery & Grinder Shop are always busy. With other offerings in the Greater Norwich area, D'Elia's stays busy. People are very willing to stand in line and patiently wait for these outstanding grinders. What that means is fresher ingredients, faster turnover of offerings, spectacular, super-friendly and genuinely appreciative service, and a large selection of grinder accessories, like chips, sodas, cookies and more, that make it an easy choice to keep coming back again and again. This place is the best overall experience in the area for all of your grinder needs!

Saw this little spot driving through the area. We are new to town. I had an excellent meatball grinder from this place. Can you believe they have been around 100 years?!? With food this delicious, they will be around 100 more! Definitely making this a regular spot. Awesome fresh bread!

We just moved to norwich a few months ago, and came upon this gem! The service is great-ran by a husband and wife. The grinders...AMAZING!! They make their own bread and its delicious! My boyfriend SWEARS by the meatball(which I'm personally picky with homemade meatballs, and I LOVED them!) My personal go to is the Italian! With anything you get though is well worth it and the prices are very reasonable! Go support this small business, YOU WONT be disappointed!! *the boyfriend ate his meatball grinder before I could take a picture it was that good! *pictured is the Italian Grinder!

After reading reviews about d elia’s i decided i had to try them out. Wendy and Anthony are the most lovely couple! They were so welcoming and we had such a nice conversation. I ordered a salami grinder which was absolutely delicious and for those who rave about the bread… 100 percent correct!! If ever I’m in in the area again I will be sure to stop in. I want to try the meatball grinder the next time. Do yourself a favor and go try them out. You will not be disappointed. Donna

We try to eat a sub/hoagie everywhere we go. Here, they call them Grinders! The couple who own this business is super nice and welcoming. We chatted with them easily while they made our Grinders. The neighborhood was a little run down but don't let that turn you off. The grinders are good and the people are super nice!
