I had the San Carlo special. It was pretty good. Ive had better subs at places like Jersey Mikes. However, San Carlo is very good at its slightly lower price point. I will go back to try some of their more expensive options to see how those compare. I also had some of their pizza bread. The pizza bread is very good, which gives me hope for their pizzas, so I will be trying those out as well and updating my review.

I’ve been coming here for years and the amazing sandwiches stay amazing! If your ever looking for a true family owned business this is the one! They always make sure the customers are happy and if your stuck in line to long they always give free samples to make your day. I recommend this place to anyone who loves true italian sandwiches and wants to try something other than your regular Subway or Jersey Mike’s. San Carlo is #1! Five stars for me always here!

Talk about friendly staff, i was there only for few minutes to get lunch with my coworker, and i never felt so welcomed before anywhere else.As for the food it was good, the bread was fresh and delicious, portion wise, its perfect size, my only wish would be if there was more Italian zest in the flavor. But overall it was a great experience

Ive been going to this place for (it feels like) 20 years. San Carlo has got to be in the top five delis in the San Fernando Valley. Very friendly staff (family) and super fast service. Fresh meats and fresh baked bread daily. You might want to pick up a few rolls to take home! The Panzerotti is a great snack - its like a cheese pizza turnover! I always the San Carlo sub - its my favorite.

Not impressed. Got 2 sandwiches. A turkey and a ham. I had them make them the way they normally do. No flavor. Got 2 frozen dinners. The stuffed bell peppers my husband liked. I did not care for the stuffed shells. It was all ricotta.

I cannot say enough good things about San Carlos deli. From the family run business to the high quality standards of ingredients, to the wonderful people who treat you like family this place has it all. Two friends and I came and got a half meatball half sausage, San carlos special, and pastrami sandwich. All which Ive had and all which are awesome. Ingredients topped high upon fresh bread, you wont be disappointed. They gave us free bread cheese appetizers as well. Their spumoni ice cream is great as well. Deli, sandwiches, icecream, everything you would want.

I ordered a sandwich and when I was waiting, a gentleman comes out from the kitchen and hands me half a calzone. I said, “For me?! Why?!” And he said, “It’s good. Eat it.” And made me sit down. :) Calzone was 11/10 and so was the sandwich (that I ate later because I was full from the calzone!). Lovely place— people walk in like family. The regulars grab drinks and the employee says, “Don’t worry you can just pay later.” A hidden gem in this neighborhood.

I frequented the Parthenia St, Sepulveda location for years in the late 70s. We loved the couple that owned it! Just as amazing as their fresh baked breads and other food😋

It was my first time to San Carlo, and if Im in the area again, Ill be back. Service was prompt and friendly. As I sat there and ate, every customer that came in seemed to know the entire staff, and everyone would ask how everyone was doing.

Ive tried most of the menu here and havent disliked anything. My goto is the San Carlos special and a panzerotti. If not sure what to order, try the daily specials.

This place has the best hospitality that I have ever experienced. Even though it was our first time there, at lunch time, it didnt feel like we were an inconvenience to them by asking them questions.My coworker and I order a couple of pasta dishes (vegetarian lasagna and a raviolis), which would take them 15 minutes to make, so they gave us this fried or baked pizza/calzone as we waited. It was amazing. The food was served hot and it was delicious. Honestly, left the place as we were regular customers there... an incredible experience overall.Just becareful when you go, If you are watching your carbs, this place may benefit you... but so good.

This family run Italian deli is the best around by far. The food is always great and the service is always friendly. We had them cater a few family events over the years and couldnt have been happier. Cant wait yo go back.

Used to be good. Had a large roast beef sandwich recently...I like my roast beef light, fresh, pink and chewable - not dark, old and hard to chew. I mayve had better luck if I had requested it by the slice. An establishment should never take a customer for granted.

My friend(Joey Vasquez) turned me on to San Carlo some years ago and we love food. Everything my wife and I have tried has been great, sandwiches, pizzas, and out of this world calzones. Great service and the owner is super friendly. I dont live near by, but I dont mind the drive for some great food. Great job Giovanni !

This place is run by a lovely family, who enjoy watching you enjoy their products. The San Carlo sandwich is highly recommended! The prices are reasonable. Some locals have been coming here for as long as its been open. You will find a number of local community members having their daily lunch or working from the patio. They have a wonderful assortment of Italian imported goods. Their menu is delicious. theyre very kind lovely helpful people. I will greatly miss working at the plaza next door Because of its access to the restaurant. .

Truly authentic southern Italian Deli!!! (I was born and raised in Southern Italy, so I should know….). Giovanni, his wife, and his crew have finally brought an authentic Italian deli to Southern California! From real focaccia bread baked daily, to Parma prosciutto, mortadella and a variety of cheese, and even imported wine!! You can’t top this one!!! The best of the best!!

This place is fantastic. I went here for the first time and it was a unique experience. The owners were there and were the nicest people. They even went so far as to share some of their homemade wine with myself and a few of the customers. What I really like is that they only have 10 sandwiches on their menu. What they serve is what theyre best at and the quality shows. Havent tried any of their pizzas or pasta but Im interested to try in the future

Arrived with friends to have lunch.Ordered: large meatball sub, eggplant parmesan, and San Carlo special. They were all delicious. Owner was funny and friendly will all patrons. A large number of people arrive to buy to-go sandwiches, but line ran quickly. Deli takes up most of the floor space, but there is a small area to eat inside, and a few tables to eat outside.

The best!First off, THE FOOD: Awesomely good and plentiful. Their hot sandwiches are stuffed so full, you need a knife and fork to eat them, plus extra space on the plate. And, their hot dishes are so mouth-watering...Lasagna like your mother never made it.Secondly, SERVICE: The treat every customer so kindly. The first time I came, Pasquale offered me a free glass of wine (and that was a medium-sized coffee cupful!). Thereafter, they remembered me and what I like to eat every time I come. And suggest new things to try as well.Third, AMBIANCE: You feel like youre part of the family. And not just with the staff, but with the customers, too. Ive had some of the nicest conversations with fellow diners and takeout customers. A real community.

Very busy and seemingly popular place. I stopped by to pick up a pre-ordered Sandwich . If I had known about all the choices I would have ordered differently.What I got was ham a d cheese with mayo, mustard lettuce, and tomato. It was on a white roll. I am sure they have healthier choices. I should have requested either tuna, or roast beef.The sandwich was very fresh and tasty. Just too much white bread...

This place is amazing. Food is terrific. True Italian. Portions huge. Firemen, police, business people, regular people come here. Sandwiches great. Meatballs great. . Homemade cheesecake and eggplant Parmesan is awesome. Family owned and employees treated like family. Rolls so good. Freshly made. Fresh deli too with cold drinks and Italian groceries. Extremely homey feeling. Giovanni does not need to advertise as word of mouth has spread to the community for years.u can sit outside and eat. When pandemic is over u can sit inside. Some people sit here for hours because it is such a warm homey place one old man came here daily and sat and ate off and on first hours just to share conversation. . If u treat people well they come back. The atmosphere is friendly. The smell of food is heartwarming. Hundreds of patrons return for their lunches and early dinner daily . Come in and judge for yourself. U will be so pleased. Sulu Dubow.

Everything here is good, no exaggeration, sandwiches, pasta, pizza, you name it its good. Lunchtime is always packed but so worth the wait, if your time is limited take it to go. I work in the area and getting lunch here is a treat, I always have the prescutto and mozzarella, crispy simple sandwich but its amazing. If youve never eaten here, youre missing out.

I could easily say this is my favorite deli around town. Their food is top notch Even though all I ever get is The pastrami one of the things I love is that everyone that works there is happy theyre energetic and they are quick you can easily get in and out and about five to about ten minutes if youre going to grab and go also they deserve to really good too and the prices are decent if youve not gotten a pastrami from here youre messing up Check them out for sure

2018-01-25 02:29:02

Super friendly! I asked about if they have a bathroom, and he said of course we do; anything you need! And he led me through the employees space to obviously not a common restroom for customers, which was nice of him! Then when my order was up and I asked about paying, he said pay after you eat! I ate outside, but I guess since mine wasnt to go, he wasnt worried about it right away and trusted me to come back and settle up later. Theyre very laid back, not trying to get your money but are just in a happy mood to serve. It was great!(Oh yeah, and the food was delicious!)

Review №67

2018-03-21 01:36:58

If your Italian this is the place to go! And even if youre not, they welcome you with open arms. Family owned business in a strip mall yet when you walk through the doors you feel like youre either in New York or Boston in one of those real Italian delis and thats exactly what it is. Authentic Italian food, homemade bread and everything else. I cant resist their eggplant Parmesan and pretty much have it every time I go there either as a dinner or sandwich. Not only are the people that work there friendly and talk to literally everyone but so are the customers. Its a little deli with an East Coast feel on the west coast and I, being from Boston, always feel at home when Im there. Food is absolutely delicious reasonably priced and you can get pretty much anything to go. When Im in town thats my go-to place.

Review №68

2017-09-06 18:31:26

Best Italian Deli in the Valley. Ive waited for lasagna to be baked fresh, and they buy me a sandwich to go with my beer while I wait. I forget my wallet over lunch, and they tell me to cover for it next time. Youll never meet a friendlier group at a more delicious place, guaranteed.

Used to go in when I was a teen, Im in my thirties now, and its still just as good. When I was younger, I would wait in line and Pasquale would give us little calzones while we waited. Those really were the good old days.

Nice local feel to this place. I loved all the authentic Italian foods for sale in the market. We had the Sam Carlo sub and meatball sandwich which were both delicious. They also had a nice selection of sodas.

PHENOMENAL! I eat here with my mother and grandmother all the time and love it! So far we have tried the eggplant parmigiana, the San Carlo special, the hot pastrami, and the capoccolo with cheese sandwiches. Everything was delicious and the family working here are genuine and friendly. Even the people who eat here are nice and always strike up conversations with other people at the tables near them. This place also functions as a market where you can find Italian goodies such as spumoni, wine, and specialty pasta.

The San Carlo Deli is a unique and hidden gem in the San Fernando Valley they have a very welcoming and friendly staff they carry prouducts straight from the motherland weather it’s cheeses or pastas the food they serve is A1 and the service is unmatched this is one of those neighborhood places you go an the owner gives back to the customer weather it’s extra portions or a free calzone not many places like this anymore I’ll tell you that 👌🏽

This place is expensive and the lady that works the register is not polite, I would say she is borderline rude.The hot meatball and hot sausage sandwices are flavorless and extremely messy to eat.The cold sandwiches however are very good, and their breads are pretty darn good too. Between the cold sandwiches and the limited and very expensive bakery make this place okay I felt disappointed with the hot sandwiches maybe I got both of them on a bad day.

This is a Mom and Pops Italian restaurant/deli. Owners are very lovely people. You walk in and it is like you were invited over for dinner. The pizza was perfect, dough was fresh, sauce was fantastic, lightly used and a tad bit sweet. Their breads are fresh and cookies are yummy. Thank you for a wonderful dinner for a reasonable price. I will probably make this my Friday nite takeout! Delizioso! :)

I buy the meat sauce & reg.sauce then freeze for later. It’s the only one that comes even close to my moms. I phone ahead for faster panzerotti. The best soda’s in cans or bottles. Everything baked or served is fresh & all subs, pizza, cannolis, . The cookies and candied Items are awesome to eat later. Hands down the best Italian deli in Los Angeles.

Ate lunch here. This is a diamond in the rough. This amazing Italian sandwich shop is hiding in a strip mall in Chatsworth. If youre looking for authentic Italian food, this is the place! The restaurant owner/chef treated us very well and added a personal touch to all of his patrons.

I was in here for the first time the other day and when I only had AMEX to pay (the dont take amex), the guy who I presume to be the owner, said I could come back and pay the next day. Being from a small town, I miss this sort of thing. It was an awesome feeling!Also the vibe and the food were great. The place was packed and the employees were super quick. I will be back for more!

I used to go to this place called Italia deli and I just didnt like the people that worked there and they werent that nice and good thing they werent because thats how I found San Carlos. There sandwhichs are great and I love there focaccia. I usually get a prosciutto sandwich or the San Carlos special and its never done me wrong.

Ive been going to San Carlos Italian Deli for approximately 35 years now. I was soooo sorry that Giovannis store was burned down during the Rodney King riots. He, his wife and sons are sweet as Giovanni. When I take my mom me he always gives us something special. He even has given her a glass wine. Im allergic to wine so he spilt it between the two of them. He carries our purchases to car and gives us each 2 kisses.

Best Italian deli around!I grew up in Chatsworth and our fam would come here all the time. One time my dad and I went to San Carlos to get some turkey sandwiches. I didnt like tomatoes despite my Mediterranean heritage so we ordered two turkey sandwiches with everything on it, but one without tomatoes. When Giovanni gave us our sandwiches he said, Two turkey sandwiches...one with everything on it... He handed that one to my dad. Then he looks at me and playfully yells, ...and one with NOTHING on it! Mind you, our sandwiches were identical except mine was sans tomatoes. Well, I figured I should embrace my Mediterranean heritage and heed Giovannis overt suggestion. I now enjoy my turkey sandwiches with tomatoes on them.Also, I took my then girlfriend/now wife there for the first time. She doesnt like to try new things. She just wanted a simple sandwich. While we were waiting, Giovanni fires up some panzerottis. Wifey didnt want to try it, but didnt want to offend Giovanni. Needless to say, whenever we make the trek back to Chatsworth to visit my rents who still live there, we purchase at least a dozen panzerottis each time.I love this place and you should too!
