Gaudiello's Italian Hoagies — Restaurant in Wilmington

Wilmington's Trolley Square has long been a haven for delicious discoveries, but Gaudiello's Italian Hoagies takes the crown for their porchetta sub. This isn't just a sandwich; it's a symphony of textures and flavors, a testament to the art of Italian charcuterie.

The star, of course, is the porchetta. The impossibly crisp skin yields to layers of juicy, herb-infused pork. Each bite is a concerto of savory richness, the perfect harmony of fat and lean. Gaudiello's doesn't drown this masterpiece in unnecessary embellishments. A touch of garlicky broccoli rabe adds a delightful bitterness, while sharp provolone cheese cuts through the richness. A hint of peppery seasoning pulls everything together, leaving you wanting more.

The bread, a perfect balance of crusty and yielding, deserves its own applause. It cradles the fillings without crumbling, providing the ideal platform for each mouthful. Every element sings in perfect pitch, resulting in a chorus of pure satisfaction.

Gaudiello's porchetta sub isn't just lunch; it's an experience. It's a love letter to slow roasting, a celebration of artisanal ingredients. In a world of over-stuffed monstrosities, this sub is a masterclass in balance and restraint. If you find yourself in Wilmington, don't miss this operatic masterpiece. Just be prepared to stand in ovation – this porchetta will have you applauding with every...

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...

I ordered a Nigerian I got home. It was a dry turkey hoagie. I took it back and he said oh give me a min I’ll make you a new one. You would’ve thought that he would’ve gave me my money back and apologize but he didn’t. I’m very upset about that because I go there regular, and it shouldn’t matter whether my sandwich was wrong because a new person made it, I was just so upset with the owner and I’m gonna go back and address it because I didn’t wanna make a scene because it was around lunchtime but he’s going to hear from me so this is why they get the bad reviews today!!!! I really don’t think it was a black thing because of black gentleman made my sandwich at that time I believe he just didn’t value me as a customer and maybe because I was a black female I’m not sure but I’m gonna get to the...
