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 Norwalk for years to come!
Garden Catering is a good brand name from this area, the food is great with one exception. The usage of seasoning is high but some people prefer it that way, others not. My reccomendation is to order the seasoning on the side because that way you can season and salt it to your preference. The food is good and hot, the people are sweet and the only thing is that this place is hidden among the entirity of Westport Ave. It took me ages to even realize that garden Catering was here! The front signage is Grey on a Grey brick wall so driving past it is very easy, the signs on the road only say "best nuggets" or something along that line which honestly does not tell ANYONE that it's garden. Don't get me wrong The brand is a staple but it's also still a hidden gem that many people still don't know about if you did not grow up with it down near the original locations. The manager is super nice and the employees work hard to make good food. I only wish they either had a better location or better signage to say where they are.

We haven’t had garden catering in a while. Needless to say it’ll be a long time before we order from here again. Our food was practically inedible because of the high amount of salt that was in the seasoning. I really think you need to check the seasoning it tasted like it was 90% salt.

Easy to order online. Food was hot and enjoyed by all. Would definitely return for another meal. Took food home so atmosphere wasn’t noted
