Very tasty food but unfortunately two of the four times I have been there my sandwich has had mold on it. While I want to support this business I had to decide to never return out of safety concerns.

amazing customer service! came in with 4 friends and they were very polite. i have no idea how they did this but they said they were out of lox and then by some magic of accommodation still found salmon for my bagel. everything tasted great and we all remarked on how well it was decorated. thanks!

Honestly this was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Get the pesto spread. Only complaint is that they were SO slow. And to be fair, they do warn you about that with a sign when you walk in. But I stood there for over 30 min. I could see they were making one sandwich and one other sandwich. 2 people working. I get that Capitola/Santa Cruz is known for their stoner chill beach vibes, but this was straight out of the Zootopia-sloth-DMV scene.

My son and I ate here today, we had the chicken pesto and the chicken apple Brie and it was BOMBdiddybombbomb The service was impeccable and friendly as can be. I love the family feel when you are there. Ambiance is excellent outside under the sunshine in the cute Capitola village.

Poor customer service, one hour wait time even though there were two people manning the front. Food was meh, I don’t recommend.

Excellent club sandwich. No complaints with food. However, a sandwich took 30 minutes to be ready.

Found this place just a short walk away from where we staying and fell in love. Breakfast and coffee was great and service was even better. Definitely a family-owned place that takes pride in their business. We even came back the next morning to get coffee before heading out for the day.
Great deli close to the beach. Perfect for families, dogs, kids, etc. Staff is exceptional!

I was in the Capitola area on the way back from Monterey and was still craving some Clam Chowder. I usually get my Calm Chowder fix in Monterey. I have yet to find a better Clam Chowder closer to me...at least that's what I thought until I came here. I did a quick Yelp search and consistently came across Castagnola Deli & Cafeas the leading contender for Clam Chowder in the area. I was a bit skeptical about the reviews especially regarding the Clam Chowder, especially since I just came from Monterey. But Castagnola made a believer out of me. I must commend my fellow Yelpers for the recommendation and reviews. Clam Chowder Cravings: ~ CLAM CHOWDER Bread Bowl - 4.5/5 For me, this is one Chowder you MUST get in a Sourdough Bread Bowl. The combination of the two just works so well. The Calm Chowder itself is brilliant! While it's not the best I had, it's definitely very tasty, I do wish it had a bit more seafood in it though. What sets the Clam Chowder Bread Bowl at Castagnola apart is the bread bowl. They toast the the Sourdough Bread Bowl which brings out an extra level of flavor...brilliant! It's all about that In addition, they add a small sliver of Herbs for that extra je ne sais quoi. It's all about that toasted Sourdough... I'll be back!
