Gaudiello's Italian Hoagies is a straightforward sandwich shop tucked into Wilmington’s Trolley Square that draws in locals looking for a hearty, no-frills meal. The space itself is cozy and unpretentious—perfect for grabbing lunch on a busy workday or fueling up with friends after a morning errand run around the neighborhood.

The menu is a solid lineup of substantial sandwiches, with the Special Italian Sandwich and the impressive 2-pound Dagwood standing out as serious contenders for anyone with a big appetite. The offerings run the gamut from classic hoagies to more inventive options like a Cuban sandwich and Chicken Cheese Steak, each sandwich consistently well-stacked and served with a side of chips, which adds a simple but satisfying crunch.

Visitors appreciate the quality and freshness here—sandwich fillings are juicy, well-seasoned, and layered with enough depth to keep every bite interesting. The in-house Crab Bisque is a local favorite side, warming up chilly winter days with its rich, homemade texture. Options like mac n’ cheese and coleslaw provide comforting sides if you’re looking to round out your meal.

This spot best suits people who appreciate classic deli-style sandwiches that don’t mess around. It’s perfect for lunch breaks with coworkers or casual dinners where the emphasis is on straightforward, flavorful food rather than dining atmosphere.

Gaudiello’s tends to thrive during weekday lunch hours but also pulls a steady crowd early evening and weekends when families and sandwich lovers come by to enjoy a relaxed, informal vibe. The friendly service matches the food’s down-to-earth quality, making it an easy choice for those who want a reliable sandwich fix without fuss.

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.

I’m not one to leave reviews but this place deserves it! My husband is from Greenville and every time we visit from CA, we get Philly Cheesesteaks in Philly! We didn’t get a chance to this year, so we came to Guadiello’s and the food was fantastic! Better cheesesteak than many of the ones we’ve had in Philly & their Crab Bisque was amazing & delicious! Highly recommend this gem in the wall! Great people and delicious food!! Coming back every visit now!

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 !!

This little spot has been a big surprise for me. Their sandwiches are among the best that I have ever eaten. I have tried their porchetta, Cuban, and Monte Crystal and they were all so good

Absolute fire! Had an Italian hoagie and it was excellent. It's getting harder and harder to find good independent places like this. I'll definitely be back

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

Well, that hit the spot! Fresh rolls, high-quality cold cuts, and that sharp provolone My husband said it was the best Italian hoagie he's had yet! Excellent service, too

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!
