"Three-quarters of a century-old Italian sub shop Gonella’s is situated in the Oakwood Heights area of Southwest Detroit. It maintains a loyal following for its deli sandwiches stacked with layer upon layer of meats and cheeses. Everything is topped with shredded lettuce and tomato. Customers can also pick up sides of marinated olives, mushrooms, pasta salad, and even cannoli." - Danny Palumbo

"Gonella’s has been serving generations of Detroiters tangy, meaty, red wine vinaigrette Italian sandwiches stuffed with layers of meat and cheese for over 75 years. It’s also a great place to pick up your own deli meat, plus jars of giardiniera and muffuletta mix. Oh, and if you’re planning a large gathering, Gonella’s iconic, colossal, always-enticing 5-foot party sub can be prepared upon request. Life is short; more adults should be ordering a party sub." - Danny Palumbo
