Genova Delicatessen & Ravioli, Oakland

tasty sandwiches, and its open by 8am which is convenient as you leave from Petes, next door, with your coffee. They make great homemade clamchowder and the salad bar is always a hit.. .The one thing that really stuck in my craw tho,is when you add cheese to your sandwich, you pay .50 xtra for the teenyist tinyest amount of cheese...thats where they must be making profit as everyone seems to order cheese on their sandwich...i am not cheap, but watch next time you go...you will notice. Hey...its a great place and even with the wait, you'll be happy. Great vegetarian sandwiches too..

Very expensive! Good sandwiches but the system they use to help customers is ridiculous! I've been cut in the line numerous times because of their failed system, but its worth the wait and frustration if you dont fight any rude ppl in the store before you get your food!

This place is amazing! I love everything about it-the food, the service, the amazing selection of meats and cheeses and sides. The wait might be a little long, but if it's good, who cares? Best deli around by far =D!

The sandwiches are only adequate but since it's the only real deli in the area it is always crowded. And because they do not have enough staff to accomodate the crowds the wait is always long. Consequently, the next time I considered eating there I decided to place an advance order by phone but was told that they don't do that. I was instructed to fax my order and that it would take up to 30 minutes---not worth the trouble!!

Absolutely the best !!! Have been a customer for 30 or so years. Love the raviolis and especially their sauce & salami. Now live in the NW, and am going to try and have some fedexed today.

have been going there with mom & dad as long as I can remember. I'm 41 now and cant stay away.

yum yum yum. you just have to try it. I love their sandwiches, their pasta, their salads -

genova is a really cute italian deli with yummy fresh subs. they use fresh baked bread and all the deli meats are great quality. there are a ton of combos you can get, but the italian is a pretty safe way to go. there's a market attached, so you can pick up gourmet goodies like imported olive oil, sparkling water, and italian cookies. there's fresh-made desserts and coffee drinks here and a salad bar as well.
