I have been going to Cavaretta's for 44 years, and I'm only 51. The sandwiches, the hot food, and the crew are equally AMAZING! I'm in there usually once a week, for a sandwich or to pick up bread. I can't recommend this place enough. Please be kind to the crew, always, especially on busy days. The level of service they provide is top notch! So that few extra minutes of waiting is worth it!

Solid Italian Deli in the Valley. Some outside seating spots/benches and a few tables inside. Good Italian and other speciality items from Spain and Italia for sale off the shelf. Deli has all the best meats. The basic Italian Sub is always my go to, however, everything is excellent. Great lasagna, and homemade sauce(s) to take home or eat in. If you are in the Mid-Valley area CID is the place. Prices are great, KFC is on the corner DO NOT GO THERE, and get fresh food for your tummy at Cavaretta's instead.

Grab a number ticket and wait for your number to be called. This is despite no line at all when I came in. Kind of weird. Once I got a number ticket (after the employee fixed the jammed number ticket machine), the person behind the counter called the number. Looking around, no one else is there waiting. Obviously I was that next customer because I was the only one there waiting! :D I ordered the small meatball and cheese sub for $11.95. The meatballs were huge and bursting out of the bread! The meatballs here are basically twice the size of Subway meatballs. Good value indeed. Parking can be a bit difficult. There are only a couple of free parking spots in the back that are accessible from the alley. At the front, it's just street parking with parking meters. There is very limited seating indoors. There are outside seating and tables but not advisable when it's really hot outside.

This place is fantastic! I have driven by it for decades not even knowing of its existence. Then I got a Groupon alert on it, did some research, and now I am hooked. My girlfriend and I stopped in on a busy Saturday afternoon. There were about 8 orders in front of us, but we were out within 20 minutes. Well worth the wait. We ordered the large Italian sandwich, which we split, a large dill pickle, a Carrot Cake, and a lasagna to heat up later for dinner.

There was plenty of food, and the whole thing was just $34. A bargain. The lasagna was delicious and enough for us both, come dinner time. I highly recommend this place. It has that old-world charm and if you close your eyes and smell, you feel like you are somewhere in Sicily.
