Old school Italian deli that I found by mistake!!! I've lived in the area almost 7 years and I have no idea how I didn't know about this place!

This Italian deli has all kinds of traditional Italian cookies, pastas, canned goods, and more imported from Italy.

I ordered the famous Italian sub. It was really good. My only gripe, as an Italian from the east coast, when you order a large, you expect a 16" sub. Even at Jersey Mike's large, which they call GIANT is a 16".

When I order a large, I'm typically feeding 2 mouths. I'd have to buy 2 large subs here to feed 2 mouths for almost $30 to equal 1 large sub, which is crazy. So, factoring that basic math it's a bit pricey for an old school Italian sub.

Staff was very friendly. And they have some basic Italian pastries like candles, rainbow cookies, biscotti, black and white cookies etc.

I tried one of their cannolis, I can tell from just looking at them that the filling looks a but strange as far as consistency. Cannoli cream is usually pretty thick. This looked more like an icing consistency. But it definitely tasted better than it looked. It tasted like a cannoli. I'd love to know what they use to make the cream. Marscapone? Ricotta?

If you're looking for a pretty authentic Italian deli, def give them a try.

They have a very small dine in area and more seating outside. And parking in the rear.

It’s outstanding. The only place I go for a real cold cut sandwich. They’ll make you anything you want, but I recommend trusting their process at least once on the Italian.

The prepared section is fantastic I’ve had the pasta and potato salads and they’re all very good.

They also have a bunch of freshly made options like ravioli, stuffed shells, and meatballs to bring home for an easy meal.

Lastly they have tons of imported treats and pantry items from Italy to shop while you wait for your order.

Parking is easy in back or plenty of meters out front. Staff is friendly and efficient and they package up everything perfectly.

Great Italian Deli, 100% authentic Italian products!! I got Turkey, Provolone cheese, bread, much more, and let me tell you. It was amazing!! Highly recommended, sometimes difficult to find parking always busy, some products pricing than others, but is worthy. Super friendly staff!! Is a must!!

Best Meatball Sub in the valley and more!

Atmosphere: This is an italian deli through and through, big bonus is all the old dodgers memorabilia everywhere, bobbleheads, signs awesome!

Food:

Meatball Sub - I dare say this is the best meatball sub anywhere. The soft fresh bread and incredibly juicy and tasty meatballs and the perfectly tangy sauce. Add some pepperoncini's and this is a meatball sub that can't be beat.

Cannolis - Fresh made both large and small sizes a must eat.

Cookies - All kinds of cookies and cakes all are fresh and all are delicious

Macaroni salad - very good, a bit on the sweet side I could see people going either way on this but I love it.

Big menu, You can easily find anything you like here.

Sauce Tip: Extra Italian on regular sandwich or Sauce on the meatball

Drinks:
Every canned or bottled drink you could think of. tons of fridges fully stocked

Price:
Very affordable, the meatball comes in at $9.95 for a small, more then enough just add a pack of chips.

Parking:
They have a lot in the back entrance with 5 or 6 spots. Meters in the front and side street. Go a couple of feet towards the neighborhood and avoid the meters for free.

Service:
Extremely friendly staff. They are ALWAYS busy but they get to you quick. The number system is tried and true and works very well here.

Easily the best place for a deli style sandwich in the Valley. puts the rest of the options to shame.

10/10 Stars!!! I just had the most wonderful experience at Cavarettas Italian Deli with my family! The owner, David, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He made a delicious turkey sandwich for me, made sandwiches for the rest of my family, and even gave my two-year-old daughter a sweet toy that put a huge smile on her face. The food was phenomenal a true show stopper + best sandwich I have ever had- fresh, flavorful, and incredibly portioned.

If you're looking for a genuine Italian deli experience with a personal touch, look no further than Cavarettas. Highly recommend - WE WILL BE BACK!!! PS Best Cannoli in the game!!

We ordered our Christmas dinner lasagna. It looked as if it was pieced together with all the left overs. It was so runny it was like soup at the bottom. Portions were small and spent over 100.00 for this it was tasteless. So disappointed. .

I’m in love with their Italian subs. Go with the famous Italian, and you can’t go wrong. Also, their cannolis are really good and authentic. If you don’t want to park in the front, they have some free spots in the back. The variety of groceries is good as well if you’re craving some European food. The staff is very friendly.
