What a find this restaurant is! The sandwiches are wonderful. The Greek salad is a favorite. The bread is so fresh and tasty that sometimes we go there just to buy the bread. All their desserts are so good and come in glass containers that you can keep and reuse. The Italian sandwich is a favorite as well as the beef dip. A small is enough for me and my husband with some leftover.

And the only reason why we have a lot more people is that they have to work for the company that is doing it and that they have a job and a lot more hours to get it paid and then we can do the job and get paid and get it paid off so we don't get a job that is a good thing and we don't get to do that because it's a lot more money and then you have a lot of time and you can do that with the money you can make but you can't make out of that because it's a job that you're working on the only one you can make and that's not do it for yourself you can make it work and then we have a job and then we

The food is always excellent, the owners source some terrific suppliers from Italy. One of the great aspects of their deli is they employ many local high school kids, whom all learn the value of teamwork in a fast paced environment. My daughter benefitted from her experience while employed there, she is now a Sous Chef at a high end restaurant in Los Angeles. Thank you, Italia Deli.
For those who know, authentic hasn't changed much in 30 years. Top quality meats, a lot of the hard to find straight from Italy products. Lines and waits can be long on the weekends in the summer so order ahead!

So so great. We get our deli meat and subs from here. The cannolis are amazing as well. Always friendly and truly feels like an east coast deli. Family vibes.

The management was simple awful. I requested specifically for a manager, expecting the best service, and instead I got possible the rudest person I have ever met. It was the short female manager, extremely short, kinda large, and with an extremely rude attitude. I asked for my bread cut thin on the bottom, yet she INSISTED that it was cut large. She forced me to embarrassingly explain that my bottom teeth do not function very well, and after a very condescending remark she huffed and she puffed her way to a new loaf of bread and cut it while murmuring to her self and giving me nasty looks. She did NOT ask me what I wanted on my sandwich, she DID not ask me if what she was doing was okay, she DID not use the same method that other management uses, which ultimately made my sandwich taste very poor and as if I had made it at home. After she messed up my order, ruined my day, and embarrassed me in front of a long line, SHE DIDNT EVEN SEPARATE THE RECYCLING OR THE GARBAGE. I mean jesus people. If you are gonna have a recycling bin at least use it. In short, I will be contacting the health inspector due to the incredible unsanitary conditions I observed within the kitchen, dining in area, and the work areas. I will be making a follow up post on my local facebook group to ensure my friends and family do not get scammed for their money at this horrible and right-wing operation.

One of the last few classic Italian delis. Great sandwiches and they will make them exactly how you ask. I normally get just Prosciutto parma and fresh mozzarella with lots of olive oil on the crusty Italian bread. They make it perfectly and the staff are very friendly and attentive.

Italia Deli came highly recommended by good friends from Val Surf. My good buddy Nate said it was the first deli he went to in LA (he's from the Upper Peninsula) that made him seek out other delis like it closer to where he lived. Nate knows his sandwiches and I trust him. He never fails me. Ha! The 2nd ringing endorsement was from the Richards Family (Val Surf owners). Brandon said his family get Italia at least once a week... Hearing that from Nate & Brandon, who I've known for a couple of decades now, was all I needed to know. My lady & I were staying in Agoura for the night so the stars aligned for our first time at Italia. They are located in a plaza just off Kanan Road and not too far from the 101. Vons & UPS Store also share the plaza with them. There is shared parking in the lot right out front. Plenty of spaces. My first impression after walking in was shock. This small deli & market was packed. It was wall to wall people. It looked like there were at least 7-9 staff members making sandwiches alone and they were all busy. The rest of the space was occupied by hungry, waiting customers in a sort of organized chaos of get in where you fit in. It was that packed. It was the evening of December 23rd so it was certainly festive inside. We went with a large Italian cold cuts sandwich ($20.99) and its certainly big enough to be share by 2 people. It came with mortadella, cotto salami, molinari salami, & provolone. It was delicious. All sandwiches come with LTO, mustard, mayo & Italian dressing. They will ask you if you want your sandwich on a hard or soft Italian roll. Small is 8 inches and large is 12. I learned that they make their bread daily from scratch in house.... The salamis were great. I really liked them. The mortadella was also very tasty. The bread was great, it wasnt too tough considering, it was actually soft enough to a degree... I would order this sandwich again and the lady really approved of it. It was her choice after all. The deli has all kinds of Italian goods from pastas, panettone, cheese, wines, desserts, etc. We also picked up pasta salad and tiramisu ($6.99)... The tiramisu was delicious and even came in a glass container. Service was friendly despite how crazy busy they were. We would certainly go back to Italia when in the area again. I appreciate my Val Surf family for putting me on to this gem of a deli. Grazie.
