Cavaretta's Italian Deli

"Cavaretta's has the most authentic Italian sandwiches in the Valley, as well as a great little Italian mini mart. I often go when they're busy, but the atmosphere is so friendly, and the aroma is so enticing, that I really don't mind the wait. It seems as though every time I'm there, I meet someone who wants to talk about how long they've been a Cavaretta's customer, and how much they love their food and whole experience!"

"We've been a customer since 1969! They have my favorite sign and it rings true. If you can't smell it, we don't have it! Love it! Seriously, one of the last true Italian delicatessens left in the San Fernando Valley. We used to love sneaking off campus and getting our meatball sandwiches for lunch."

"Cavaretta's has been around forever, but nobody seems to know about it. It's a hidden gem. We had sandwiches, and they were delicious. The rolls were amazing. We couldn't not get a cannoli, and we're happy we did. They have a large selection of imported Italian foods, cookies, sauces, spices, and more. There are a few tables outside, well protected from the sun. There's not much to see except cars going past, but it's still a nice place to sit and eat. Tip: Call in your order in advance to minimize the wait while you're there."

"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."

"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!"
