The nephew, Joseph Nardelli, arrived from Italy in 1955 just after the flood and worked for his uncles until 1963 when he purchased and continued to manage the original South Main Street location until it's demolition in 1978. Joseph with his wife Rina continued the business with various locations in the Greater Waterbury area until settling in Naugatuck in the late 70's.

Joseph and Rina Nardelli, along with their children, continued to prosper until Joseph's sudden death in 1989. Rina and her children continued to run the business until 1998.  Rina now over sees both locations, while the third generation takes Nardelli's into the new millennium with one exception...the grinders are no longer 30 cents.

There is now a sixth grinder shoppe for the third generation of Nardelli’s. Our newest location is a franchise located at 396 Washington Street, Middletown, Connecticut. We are proud to add this location to our family of shoppes.

This website is dedicated in memory of - Joseph A. Nardelli (1939-1989) and Frederick A. Nardelli (1968 - 1998).
