Only place to get the garlic and parsley sausage that is phenomenal! The sandwiches are great and the selection of imported foods is great. I like that they have a fresh veggie produce area so that I don't have to go to a 2nd store after getting my meat.

  • Sharon Martin

Great hot pastrami sandwich and great customer service. Do not go by prices on menu they are much less. My item states $15.00 actual price is $9.95. I don't know why. 3rd time ordering and it's always less. Check them out. Better than subway.

  • Philippa Mayall

Anything I eat from there is as if imy mum cooked it. The meatball sandwiches are homemade and sooo tasty., chicken Parmesan also fantastic. The only mark I have against them is when I go in, sometimes they’ve not had chance to make a fresh

  • Erin T

While I've never eaten here, my friend had the awful experience of being racially profiled by the cashier. While attempting to order, the cashier interrupted her and, unprompted, said that they don't accept EBT. She in no way indicated that

This is the place to go in the south bay for all of your Italian grocery needs. From fresh cut prosciutto & mortadella to imported pasta & canned goods this is the place to go to make your next mediterranean feast. Be prepared to deal with

  • Albert Maestro

bad service, came for a sandwich and got ignored for 15 min , then it took 20 min for them to make the sandwich and they were not busy , very rude the guy seemed irritated that he had to assist a customer. dont buy from her, go to Santa Fe

  • Lord Rat

Nice family owned place to get imported Italian goods. Fresh meats and cheeses. Hit or miss on the drinks, they used to have a great selection of imported sparkling drinks.The deli very popular for a reason, it's great and is always busy.

  • Dana Smithee

My husband and I go there every few months for imported olive oil - we buy it a gallon at a time. They carry more than 1 variety and every one we've tried has been very good. Price comparison to regular grocery store makes even their high

  • Lisa M Petersen

Mostly friendly, true Italian service with quality authentic Italian and Mediterranean foods. The fresh deli made rib eye steak sandwich is heaven, but do order it before 3-3:30pm. They close at 5 pm, they say they shut the grill down at

  • Darel Carey

I ordered 2 sandwiches. They are busy, and slow, that’s fine, I didn’t mind waiting, but I waited 30 mins, and people that came well after me were being served. Not only that, but they had large orders, so it’s not like it was something

  • Cristal Brown

I absolutely love this place. There is an awesome fresh meat counter and if you are looking to cook an authentic italian meal..this is the place to go! So many yummy looking things in the frozen section as well... All authentic Italian.

  • Teten Taien

We have high hopes to find a good italian grocery shop, instead we saw a smelly, almost empty store, shelves with a few items, meat showing signs of being in the fridge for a long time. Deli items are very limited, sandwichs less than

  • Diane Gold

Good sandwiches, Always busy but never have to wait long. Good neighborhood deli. Employees are friendly. But im confused on the photo thats posted for them. Its not where they're located. Their on 8th st but down off of Mesa.

  • Felicia M

I love this place. Locally owned and operated. Great customer service. Nothing but positive things to say about this deli. I’m a frequent shopper here. Some amazing imports and not to mention the meatball sandwich is so yummy.

  • Joshua Franck

Out of all the local small Italian markets in the area this one is the best! Really great hours for such a small place and you can't beat the deli meats/sandwichs! A little off the main downtown area but definitely worth it!

  • William Stieritz

Great old-world Italian market and deli! Many Goodfellas behind the counter and lots of wonderful products on the shelves. Excellent frozen cannoli cream and capelini pasta! Also broccoli rabi and vine ripened tomatoes too!

  • Remy Torres-Green

So, here's the thing - the food is good, but the attitude and lack of customer service and ugly look on everyone's face makes it hard to enter the front door. It's like everyone in there hates life. Get a clue folks.

  • Dawn Salazar

Best sandwiches in San Pedro! A1 Market offers a variety of Italian “hard to find” food & goodies!! The produce is Always fresh and also offers the best BBQ meats, homemade Italian sausage, etc…A MUST GO!

  • Claudia Alvarez

Was there yesterday. This place is the best kept secret when it comes to one of a kind, delicious, SUGAR FREE cookies and pastries. Seriously. 0 sugar. Just another thing to love about this place.

  • K Earley

We went here to buy sausage and cheese. The man behind the counter was very kind and helpful. The cashier was equally professional. We will be going back to try their sandwiches.

  • Elizabeth Postma

Great selection of Italian products, including frozen padta. Good sandwiches. Some of the guys behind the meat counter are GREAT. The guys who are the owners have NO personality.

  • Fred Ford

Awesome sandwiches. It gets pretty crowded during the day with folks ordering sandwiches, be prepared to wait, but it's worth it. Great Italian specialty foods. Love this place.

  • Phyllis Saunders

As a patron of at least 23 years, I pretty much stop going since the business changed hands. I found they lived up to their reputation, but they are no longer here now.

  • Nina Dicker

I haven’t eaten at this place, and I don’t plan on it. Their staff made racist and insulting comments to a friend of mine. Absolutely disgusting & poor customer service.

  • Fi “Journ3y” Jenkins

I love their sandwiches. My only problem is the pastrami that I love is always super SALTY. If they can make it without too much salts I will give a 5 stars.

  • Deak Stevens

I would give it 5 stars if they cleaned the place up nice store to get good Italian imports ,but the place is a mess, make you wander how they live at home

  • S C

Delicious sandwiches! Their chicken parmigiana, roast beef, and Philly steaks are all good. They also have a good variety of products.

Great spot for basic groceries or lunch. New owners expanded the food selection, added a seafood and improved online ordering. Thanks!

Still the best sandwiches in my opinion. Store has changed a little bit but you can still get all the italian and croatian products.

I love this deli. The Hoagie sandwich feeds 2 people is great. They sell raw balls of pizza dough and many fruits and veggies.
