Nice little Italian deli in a very walkable downtown area. The service was awesome, the food was awesome and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised at the prices! When we’re in the area we will definitely be back!!

If you're looking for a delicious sandwich and an authentic deli, look no further. Boar's Head deli meats and cheese! And wonderful service.

Pretty gross lol. I took maybe 2 bites of my roast beef sandwich before tossing it. Waste of money.Don't recommend at all.

I got the Godfather on dutch crunch. It was not crunchy and had maybe three slices of meat. Totally dry and not worth the money.

Very average. Dutch crunch wasn’t crunchy at all. Not enough oil or fillings. Very light sandwich. Better options around for the quality and price.

Lunch operations are a mess. 30 min wait. Staff works hard but somewhat confused. Not sure they are processing orders in the orders received.

Great salads, I snagged both a Tuna Salad and Chicken Salad. With the taste and quality, I suspect the sandwiches are also fantastic. Cookie was a bit sad for near $3, would definitely skip in the future. Not too far off from the average tuna salad, but this spot seems to make their food fresh. It doesn't have that day old (or however long) taste and smell. I preferred the tuna over the chicken, but both were solid. On their own they're great, but I also paired them with some bread at home. Fantastic sandwich material. However, I'm skeptical about how much mayo might be in them (or other ingredients), they do feel a bit heavy. Would love nutritional info but that's only a desire.

Solid... but would love more veggie and vegan options!

First time here. Cute shop. Great area. Love all the photos on the walls. Love the bobbelheads and bay area baseball teams memorabilia! I love the vibe. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Two nice ladies working. They have a good set of options for sandwiches. It has a homey feel. I got an avocado cheese sandwich on Dutch crutch. Good brea. Good options. Many types of sauces you can add to the sandwich . Never knew so many types of pesto existed. Very delicious! They have homemade sweets as well. They have pasta. Very delicious.

Godfather Part 2, better than the original. Long lines but the wait wasn't too bad. I dig the blue collar feel of this place, smack in the middle of Los Altos.

The Godfather part 2 Sandwich is a definite fave. I had it on a nice soft French sweet roll. I love that it has a spicy kick. The hot oil and spicy salami takes this sandwich up a notch. I think the pickled artichokes is a nice touch and adds a good texture. I also had a poor boy sandwich on a sweet roll. Great sandwich if you're craving a good cold cut with mortadella. Yum. Get your drinks while you wait, or grab some day old bread rolls for a good bargain.
