Reviews Cavaretta's Italian Groceries

My son volunteered for a local event today and the volunteers got discount coupons for a sandwich at Cavaretta’s. My son raved about his sandwich and cannoli and will definitely be back again. Great to see how Cavaretta’s supports the local community!

Best Italian deli in Los Angeles in my opinion. I always go for the roast beef sub with extra dressing. All their pastries are excellent too, take home a cannoli or a box of cookies!

60+ Year old Italian Deli, obviously they are doing something right. Where do I start. I've been visiting this local spot for around 25 years now. I actually drive 45+ minutes from SCV to stock up on my favorite items. Awesome Deli Sandwiches, Check! Great Selection of Italian market items, Check! Fresh Breads, Check! Italian Wine Selection, Check!, and probably one of my favorite most ridiculously good in house made Lasagna's, that they make from scratch daily. The sign in the deli says it best. "If you can't smell it we don't have it" Also their pastry/desert counter is very good, try the éclair, or cream puffs, but don't forget the cannoli!!!!! Call ahead and order via phone if you know your going and it can reduce your wait time. Lunch time can get pretty busy.

Paul & Dave strive to make every visit makes you feel like you're part of the family. Good is great quality and the service prompt and friendly

Great food Great Service Great selection of Italian food to take home. The only problem is it's 90 miles from our home otherwise I'd be there at least 3 or 4 days a week!

Most important is the quality of the food so far have not been disappointed!!! So thank you

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!! You must try this joint!!

Cavaretta's Italian Deli has been a West Valley institution since 1959, and it's no surprise. They haven't forgotten the formula of providing a quality product, with incredible attention to detail and old school customer service!! Appropriately enough, they're located on the west end of a section of Sherman Way, between Owensmouth and Shoup, that is known as a bit of a valley time warp....a mile and a half stretch of boulevard that harkens one back to a simpler, more analog time. Independent boutiques, craft shops, health food stores, pubs, pizza places, and Cavaretta's all proudly line this length of thoroughfare largely unexploited by corporate big box stores. Walking into Cavaretta's, one is instantly transported back to that simpler time....a time when kids went with their parents to the local Italian market to grab ingredients for home cooked meals, or friends met to order hand-sliced sandwiches to take for lunch at the ball game or beach. Want more proof of the old school, analog feel at Cavaretta's?? The first thing one does when walking in is "take a number"....yep, those paper pull tickets....just like the old days at the butcher shop!! And, honestly, there's so much great eye candy in Cavaretta's, from the small aisles of imported Italian ingredients in their market (one of the few places in LA to find uncut fusilli pasta....see pic!!), to the shelves upon shelves of Dodgers bobbleheads and LA rock 'n roll ephemera, including classic 1980s KLOS and KMET band stickers that used to be handed out at legendary LA concerts, that one doesn't even mind the wait!! The music plays behind the counter, and the employees all buzz around to the beat of the music, and seem to be having fun, as they serve customers....and that energy is absolutely infectious!! While I was waiting to be be served, The Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" was playing, and I caught the eye of one of the employees as we were both nodding our heads to the classic tune, and he immediately points to me and asks, "Where are we going to?" And without missing a beat I answer, "Strawberry Fields!" He gives a quick affirmative gesture, and says, "YEA!!" Now, that exchange might be one of those "you had to be there" moments, but it exemplifies the positive energy and rare attention to customer service that one gets at Cavaretta's!! I highly recommend experiencing Cavaretta's old school flavor for yourself. Pick up some hard to find ingredients for your next family meal, or grab a sandwich with some of their fresh Boar's Head meats, but whatever you do, don't leave without treating yourself to one of their legendary cannolis!! 😎👍

Really excellent sandwiches, and desserts Call selection of Italian groceries Friendly staff, and good prices
