Chicken RestaurantSandwich RestaurantBreakfast RestaurantTake Out Restaurant
Our nugget history begins in the mid-1970’s, when the original owner, Lou Iandoli and his business partner opened Garden Poultry in the heart of Greenwich, CT. In 1978, grabbing hold of an opportunity to grow and expand, Mr. Landoli opened under the name of Garden Catering on Sound Beach Avenue; which is now known as our flagship location. Sadly, Mr. Iandoli passed away in 1989 and Garden Catering closed its doors. Responding to the heartache of nugget fans everywhere, Frank Carpenteri Sr. purchased the business from Mrs. Iandoli, along with the secret recipes for Garden Catering’s famous fried chicken and nuggets. He re-opened in late fall of 1991 and gained instant praise, making Garden Catering once again a staple for the community under its new owner. Recognizing the growing demand for the crave-able menu, Mr. Carpenteri opened several more Garden Catering locations throughout Fairfield and Westchester counties. Keeping the business in the family, Frank’s son and daughter now manage the daily operations and plan to spread the nugget love in New Haven for years to come!

    Food I ate was their specials, just fried chicken and french fries with a complementary drink. It was a nice and friendly vibe, seating was fine, they played some music too.

    I love garden catering. Nuff said. But to say a bit more... I've been to this location a few times and and every time it is a delightful experience. The food, I love the nuggets and potato cones personally, is always fresh, perfectly cooked and deliciously seasoned. The sauces are both what you expect and a bit more. The staff are quick and courteous and the space itself feels clean and welcoming. I always look forward to some garden catering when I'm on the sound shore or in CT, but especially in New Haven, because this is a great one.

    I have given multiple opportunities but this location just cannot get it together when it comes to their vegetarian option. Every single time I order the cauliflower nuggets, I get chicken. Twice, the bag was marked as the cauliflower option, I double checked before walking away with the staff that my order was cauliflower, and by the time I get open and take a bite, it’s chicken. It’s extremely frustrating and really not safe to mislabel food.
