If I could give more stars I would. It's hard to over emphasize how delicious their sandwiches are. I've tried nearly all of them, and each has been amazing. Their Italian and Porchetta are especially great. Bread is fresh and chewy, and all the ingredients are high quality. Prices are a bit higher than elsewhere, but it is well worth the $. A Wilmington gem.

Little hole in the wall type place, but good people and an excellent cheesesteak. Got the traditional Philly style and it delivered. I'm giving 4 out of 5 just because a great cheesesteak is hard to come by and I've had better, but would visit again when in the area for sure.

Ordered for the first time after many friend referrals, and I am super bummed I waited so long! I ordered a Cuban, my co-worker ordered the Chicken-Steak Florentino.... have mercy, that Cuban sandwich was SOOOO delicious. Juicy, full of flavor, and obviously made by a culinary angel God. Absolutely recommend. Can't wait to order tomorrow. Eat here. Worth every penny.... best lunch I have had in years.

Had the chicken. Great flavor. Almost has a caeser saladish taste. Sharp cheese and great with mushrooms. The Turkey hoagie was out of this world. Point blank. So good

I tried the meatball sandwich by DoorDash and had to make the trip in person. So one day after work, mind you I live in Pennsylvania but I said let’s make it a sandwich night for the family. When I tell you, no crumbs left wow I got a cheesesteak and my kiddos got the chicken Florentine and Italian hoagie. Kiss the chef goodT !!

I seriously can not stop saying WOW! My boyfriend and I decided to try Gaudiello's after seeing an article on Google that it is the #1 rated sub/hoagie shop in Delaware, and I can see why!! I ordered a Special Italian Sub with no onions, lettuce or tomatoes (yeah, I'm a picky eater at almost 40 lol) and extra meat, and I can tell you now, that was the BEST Italian sub I have EVER had in my life!! My boyfriend got the Roast Beef Sandwich and loved it so much he ate the entire thing in one sitting! I, however, could only eat one half of mine and seriously can't wait to have the 2nd half tomorrow! I was so torn between getting the Ham Sandwich and the Special Italian sub, and now that I know 100% that we will become regulars here, I will try that next time! We've already discussed having Gaudiello's tomorrow for dinner again!! You MUST try this place! EDIT: Literally the next night (last night) we ordered from here again because we were so amazed by this place. This time I got the Ham Sandwich with no lettuce or tomatoes (there goes my picky eater self again), and my boyfriend ordered the Cuban. Once again we were NOT disappointed! I have a feeling I'm gonna be coming back to add to this review quite a lot! Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of the 2 sandwiches my boyfriend ordered. He gobbled them up too fast! Haha

Found them randomly on Google today but decided to order an Italian hoagie based on their ratings. This was the best hoagie I have had! I did order it with extra meat but the ingredients were all so fresh it took me back to my trip to Italy!
