This charming eatery has quickly become a favorite among locals and travelers alike, serving a delectable array of classic Italian fare. As a food reviewer for Café Encore, I couldn't resist the allure of this authentic Italian deli, renowned for its delicious sandwiches, gourmet pizzas, and heartwarming ambiance.

From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked bread and savory ingredients captivates your senses. Maria's Italian Deli offers an all-day menu that features a wonderful variety of heros, made with high-quality ingredients that pay homage to traditional Italian recipes. Some standout choices include:

  • Philly Steak & Cheese: A mouthwatering combination of mushrooms, peppers, and onions topped with mayo, priced at just US$11.99.
  • Chicken Parmesan: Breaded chicken, zesty sauce, and melted cheese for US$12.59.
  • The Godfather: A rich assembly of veal with artichokes and mushrooms at US$11.99.

But the real delight lies in the testimonies from satisfied customers. The rave reviews echo the delight of enjoying hearty, component-rich sandwiches. Tony Duran praises the catering service during an event, noting how the giant sandwich, antipasto salad, and lasagna exceeded his expectations. Another customer, Randy S, reminisces about his Brooklyn roots while savoring the Godmother sandwich, declaring it the best he has found in Los Angeles.

For something lighter yet equally satisfying, the deli's gourmet pizzas are not to be overlooked. The BBQ Chicken Pizza topped with smoked mozzarella is a crowd favorite at US$19.95, while the classic Pizza Margherita showcases fresh mozzarella, basil, and garlic, also priced at US$19.95.

    Used their catering service to order a giant sandwich, shallow antipasto salad tray and half lasagna tray. I requested the sandwich be cut up for ease of handling. The order was due by noon, i showed up at 11:40 so i did wait while they completed the finishing touches. The sandwich was excellent served in two round covered trays with salami and olive florets as decorative garnish. The lasagna was very good. The antipasto salad was also excellent. Everything was packaged for ease of transport. More food than i needed, everyone was well fed and even took home some plates. Manny was in charge, very cordial and so concerned about security that he ensured i got back my credit card information back so i knew it wasn't left floating around the restaurant. Overall an excellent experience, one i would recommend and will use again in the future.

    Mangia Bene here. Wow!!! this is the best Italian deli in Southern California. I had the Godmother Italian cold cut sandwich, just like my Grandma Binki Rabuffo used to make me in Brooklyn NY. I think the best real Italian style sandwich in los Angeles. Roasted red peppers in it. Capicolla, aged provalone, supresseta, proclutto. The Itaian wine vinegar they use is unbelievable!!! Dina-Marie really took care of us. We travel all over town in the film biz and this is the best. Huge sandwiche, I can't believe I ate the whole thing. I couldn't stop eating it was so good.

    After finally finding Maria’s Deli inside “The Cube!” Being a first timer! I heard how great the traditional Maria’s deli was back in the day. They definitely carried on the tradition!

    Thee "Best" wrong exit/detour, traveling from AZ to CA, I ever made ( the city and I share the same name, minus the Santa, hehe!!) Ordered the Prosciutto Italian Style sandwich, wow! you can't get any better than that! It's a "sandwich orgasim" for your taste buds...is the best way I can describe it. I'm a CA native and AZ lacks in the food category (for me) especially finding good bread. Also, my co -worker and I were treated to an espresso by the owner...another, wow! I would travel 6hrs for another. Thank you for such a memorable taste experience. I would always leave with store bought items as well.
