Original Gonella's

WOW- glad I finally tried this 75 year old establishment! Ordered a six layer sub.,thinking it would be subway sized - nooooooo . Could only finish 1/2 of it. Was delicious!. Fresh! Friendly staff. Aroma is like a throwback old Italian place. Lots of homemade relish,sauces, etc. loved it !

What a unique place to grab a sandwich. It's inside a grocery store. When you walk in it looks like you are going grocery shopping but instead you stay to the right and follow the incredible smells. Baking bread, olives, meat, cheese all of it just lingers in the air. There is a sign to get in line next to the food case., and the menu I. The wall. I got the right layer Italian and provolone sub. Picked out chips and a drink. We are dealing with people who can hussle. That sandwich was made fast and efficient. People were coming and going. Wish I had room for a cannoli. Those looked amazing!

Probably the best Italian grinder I have ever had. I got the 18x3 on a soft roll. So huge I had to gnaw at like a rat but was fun eating.

Definitely over the top! A great old fashioned meat submarine sandwich. I had the 18-3, it was delicious. It gave me a real nostalgic feel when my mouth couldn't fit around, but back then it was my mouth was too small. Not, that the sandwich was HUGE...LOL. My hats are off to your staff for keeping the feel and taste of an old tyme meat market deli sub.

The best sub for your money in Detroit. The meats are great and I love the hot peppers. I'll definitely be a repeat customer.They've also got a great selection of local and imported products.

As I continue my search for the best Italian subs in Detroit, it was only right to make a stop at Gonella's! This sub was delicious and you can really taste the care they put into their food. If the sub looks big in my picture, it's because it is! It's meat packed, fresh, and I loved their sauce! I could only finish one half, but that means lunch for two days! Even after one day, everything was still delicious and maybe better since the sauce marinated overnight! I added peppers and extra sauce on my sub, and I recommend! The antipasto was good and really gave you that homemade feeling when you ate it! I will be back!

Been wanting to go here for a bit ... finally went and did not disappoint. I only bought a 6layer Italian -- so good. The bread is fantastic. The dressing is really good. I could easily have split my sub with someone. Also picked up a selection of olives that had. Definitely recommend. There was a line when we got there, but went fast and service was friendly. Kinda in the middle of nowhere and there is no seating at location. Perfect for a picnic. It is close to the historic Fort Wayne

By far the best best best aunthentic Italian sub I have ever had in my life! You can really taste the love that they put into each and every sandwich. Even if the line is out the door the service is quick and efficient and it never feels like you're waiting long. It is inside of a party store so keep that in mind. Lots of parking in the back lot of you can park on the street. Anytime I'm on this side of Detroit I ALWAYS make it a point to stop in!

Are you f'in kidding me man? The service grade A. The sandwich 8 ply was delicious. I don't even like italian meats usually but the reviews were so good I had to try. I just asked for it "normal" like your locals do it. BOOM. I found myself eating the whole thing in minutes with their cherry bbq chips. YUMMY!!!! I'll be back someday. We live in CA and have never tried any sandwich this great. Thanks so much.

Great sandwiches. Service is top notch. Get your best sandwich here. In and out quickly.
