Definitely one of the best subs I’ve ever had. I look forward to trying some of their hot sandwiches.

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.Parking: Most parking is on street and metered. There are two spots and one handicap spot in the alley behind the restaurant.

Best italian deli in the valley. Best meat balls and lasagna. The Italian sub is delicious and it's the bread that makes it.I dropped my 5 star review to 3, they continue to raise their prices, it's getting bad. Pizza dough is now $4!!!!!! Wth! It's flour yeast egg and water, that's like 25 cents to make. Their Italian sub used to be $9 , it's now $14!!!The food is still great but are they taking advantage???

Been coming here since I was 4 or 5, call it 1970. Their subs have always been perfect. Highly recommend strawberry or lemon bars, cannoli, and their deli has it all. Wines, pastas, etc. Landmark business in the area. Get in your car and go order something. You will enjoy it.

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 deliciousMacaroni 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 meatballDrinks:Every canned or bottled drink you could think of. tons of fridges fully stockedPrice: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.

We had heard about Cavaretta's from a segment shown on KABC7 and decided to try it out. Parking is very limited on Sherman Way and in the back Alley. We wrongly thought that we could eat there but only 3 tables inside and 2 outside in blazing sun makes it almost impossible so we're forced to eat in our Car which was a mess. Although there exists a small menu, there are many different items in the store section of the Deli. So much in a small space you could spend over an hour checking out the various items. On the walls, shelves, and near cieling are collections of photos, Bobbleheads, signs, Christmas Stockings, and much more. The service was good and many people come in to take out. We had Deli sandwiches that were fairly good and reasonably priced. Inside of several glass covered Deli displays are many Cheeses, deserts and meats. Wine and beer and many other drinks are in glass refrigerated coolers. This Deli has been there since 1959 and caters to the people in the surrounding area.
